AI¶
Combat¶
AI Combat rules are the same, regardless of fighting against Neutral or Enemy AI units.
Initiative¶
Just like non-AI combat, the unit with the highest <initiative> goes first. In case of a tie, the attacking Hero has priority. If both sides have units with the same initiative, they activate in an alternating fashion, so first the attacker, then the defender.
When fighting an AI Hero, every time one of their units activates, draw a card from their AI and resolve the effect in their stead. The strength of the effect depends on the game difficulty.
Targeting¶
The targeting priorities below assume that conditions are checked from the top and the first matching target is then selected.

In case there's more than one valid target, attack the closest one. If there is a tie between equally valid targets, the player chooses which Unit to attack.
