Spell-Casting Delay

- ~10 second universal delay.
- ~12 second Enfeebling delay.
- ~?? second Healing delay.
- ~?? second Enhancing delay.
Behaviour
Deployment
- Remains stationary when deployed within ~15 yalms of the target, if deployed outside this range the automaton will close to melee distance.
- Will only move if the enemy is out of casting range or when it is out of MP.
- 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. Casting AI has been changed dramatically since the December 2011 update, this table may no longer be accurate.
| Enemy HP% | Default Casting Priority |
| 100% - 75% | Silence → Slow → Blind → Paralyze → Bio II → Poison II → Elemental Magic |
| 75% - 50% | Elemental Magic by default.
Enfeebling Magic may require two maneuvers to be prioritized. |
| 50% - Low HP | Elemental Magic by default.
Enfeebling Magic may require two maneuvers to be prioritized. |
| Low HP | The automaton will ignore all maneuvers and attempt to finish the enemy off. It will use the weakest nuke that will kill the enemy if unresisted. |
If bio II is not available, the automaton will cast the highest DoT available: dia < bio < dia II < 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.
