Could ZOS tweak the NPC AI for Forest Wraith from the Druid deck? It's fun to win the game every time you get the card but, really, the NPC should be trying as an absolute priority to knock that card out as soon as possible!!

I'm convinced this is intentional if it's still early in the match. Giving you an almost guaranteed win. I've lost count how many times Novice and Proficient NPC's go out of their way to consume all of their power on highly questionable moves except for 2, just so they can appear to notice the threat by knocking its health down to 1. And then completely ignores it after that. The only time I ever see them intentionally take it out in the early game is when there's a black sacrement card on the table. And even then it's questionable.
Get enough turns into the match though, and suddenly the AI kicks into gear and all bets are off.
Expert NPC's will take it out at the first available opportunity though.

The expert NPCs *don't* take it out. I only play experts, and the only time they seem even to apply a little power to it is when they have nothing "better" to do. They'll leave it there for turns and turns and sometimes the whole game. It's really odd / suicidal, as if it's been set too low down the move priority list.
Most often I'm seeing this when both Druid and Sorcerer are in play so I wonder if it's related to how the NPCs deal with the Sorcerer deck.Edited by Northwold on 28 November 2024 11:140 -
Heren✭✭✭It's not just Forest Wraith, it's most if not all the contract agents : I don't think I ever see a NPC knock out one with it's attack; they do quite reliably with murder and ambush though ( expert ones at least ).
Anyway, NPC are utter rubbish and i'm glad for that, most match are rather 'quick' that way.1
