Royal Huntsman A3 not used properly by the AI

As the title says, the A3 attack on Royal Huntsman isn't used properly by the AI when on auto play. This is making him somewhat useless in PVE on the Force Keep where he has potential to be useful (but currently isn't).


To replicate:

Take Royal Huntsman to the Force Keep and select Autoplay

Note that Royal Huntsman will not use his A3 (strongest attack) unless he can land an outright kill shot


Implications of issue:

On the boss for Force Keep, his high defence is something that needs to be mitigated or removed to land good damage. Royal Huntsman only uses his A1 which isn't actually a very strong attack or his A2 which is a good attack and can place defence down. His A3 could potentially allow your team to remove large portions of the bosses health whilst you have defence down, so RH should be using this as much as he can. 


I'm on level 15 grinding it for potions and currently take appx 1:30 to kill the boss. If RH would use his A3, I'm sure I'd be touching 1min per run which I would like. Without a fix to his A3 using AI he's not worth investing in other than for a strong arena attacker, but he's not as good as Delver for this role, so is technically useless or marginal when considering the cost to upgrade skills and gear him properly


Thanks

I am also having the same problem, got the Royal huntsman, geared it up, was expecting it be behavior good with his A3, but it never uses the A3 in dungeon... 

It would be appreciated if Plarium could look into the issue.

This problem isnt just on force keep its all dungeons he never uses his A3 on auto except sometimes he will finish a boss off thats dying in the next hit with it.. Will this ever be addressed?

This needs to be addressed!

Enemy has weaken and defense down, Royal Huntsman has attack up and A3 ready.

He doesn't use it....

Can someone just slap an AI priorities over him, so  that he will use his A3 if he has attack up on him.


I know it wont be perfect always, but as its ignoring defense its not as "complex" as example Royal Guard takedown.


Something like this should be fixed in a matter of minutes, assuming that there is seperate AI scripts/settings for each champion.


Not saying that auto need to be as smart as manual play and calculate if a skill would be "overkill" or wasted, but how can this leave playtest.

Plarium please.. this is something that should be fixed quite quickly by a rookie programmer even.


If(weaken in team) {if (weaken applied(target) {(if (attack boost up){a3(target)}}}

Elseif (attack boost up){a3(target)}


Assuming there is more logic and many more factors behind it (enemies alive, what debuffs are up, who is the best target, killable? afinity..  turnmeter ect.ect. ), this should be done in a matter of some hours and could be revisited if not perfect. 

As of right now the skill is not being used at all, and all those that spent ~100€ + to pull and level this guy are being screwed ;).

Sry for the rant, but i cannot believe that a company with so much spending addict customers cannot allocate some minor resources to have one programmer fix all those AI problems in a matter of weeks.

I have the same problem geared him up but without using A3 on cooldown he is useless in any Autofights. Please Plarium fix this.

Its a mess to implement a Ability a hero dont use. Are u serious?

Yea i leveled him for the new doomtower bosses and found out the same issue. This champion not using his 3rd attack is like if coldheart or royal guard wouldnt use their nukes, its pretty much the only reason to use this sub bar legendary, and he does not use the only good skill it has on auto. Well considering how old this thread is i dont have my hopes up, but if mods happen to look this please look into it. You dont even have to put effort into it and make any complex conditions in the program for him to use it, just make him use his a3 on cooldown its better than him not using it at all. Or if you want to put tiny effort into it, make him use his a3 on cooldown if enemy  targets have decrease def on them, if they dont prioritise a3 over a3, otherwise use it on cooldown.
