Behaviour

Deployment

Follows the enemy at melee range when deployed.
Magic is only used when attached to the Stormwaker or Harlequin Frame.

Magic

Spells and Enemy HP%

The casting AI changes based on the current targets health.

Enemy HP%	Default Casting Priority
100% - 75%	Cure IV → Bio II → Poison II → Silence → Slow → Blind → Paralyze → Addle
75% - 50%	Bio II → Poison only. Other spells cannot be triggered.
50% - 0%	Cure IV only. Other spells cannot be triggered.

If bio II is not available, the automaton will cast the highest DoT available: dia < bio < dia II < bio II
If unable to cast Cure IV the automaton will cast the highest Cure possible depending on skill and mp.

Spells and Maneuvers

Maneuvers increase the priority of spells of their respective element.

Maneuver	Spells
Fire	Addle
Ice	Paralyze
Wind	Silence
Earth	Slow
Water	Poison
Light	Cure IV → Dia II
Dark	Blind → Bio II

Curing Priority

Will only cure the master and puppet, prioritizing whoever has more hate. Cures only occur when below a certain percentage of health. See the damage gauge article for more info.
