Log 441-447. Dark Archon Showcase (AI & After-Thoughts)
For upcoming indie game, as of yet untitled (though it will be Chapter 2 of the Q'Redux series).
The Archon has several main abilities.
It's primary strategy is to quickly summon smaller weak creatures and later call large powerful creatures to attack. Meanwhile, it can defend itself by warping away from its target, or creating an adaptive shield.
If the player is swarmed by the Archon’s summons, it can use a long-distance ray to paralyze for a few heart beats, or it can the signature "Black Dragon" AOE to deal large damage while only stunning the summons.
Overall, I tried to give the AI a range of utility spells to complement its ranged summoning strategy.
Tank spell, then Summon
Summon, then Warp Away
Tank Spell, then Attack Spell
Summon, then Support/Attack Spell

(P.s my apologies for the video aliasing, haven't figured out how to record many screen particles in high fidelity - and these videos are usually created to share on my discord server as a personal record)
