Ninja heroes, how does work in defense?

[Guvnor]

Cozy has explained it above but:

@Guvnor

How will the defence AI handle the multi-charging of mana?

Beta V32 Build 1:

• Exactly like it does now… They will cast the special skill the instant they can.
• Means that, unless the AI hero is silenced by you OR you have a crazy huge cascade, the AI is probably never going to go past the first charge

Update – 22 September.
Return to beta of these heroes has a note regarding the Ninja Heroes in PvP and Map stages etc… (ai controlled):

“When encountered as enemies (in both map stages and PvP modes), Ninja heroes will sometimes wait before using their special skills, allowing them to use their 2nd and 3rd charge levels.”

@Guvnor

Regarding the Ninja Heroes now sometimes “holding” their special firing for 2x or 3x charge, I will add some information here as this has a major affect in the Ninja Tower Gameplay:

• AI controlled Ninja Heroes (on the ENEMY team) now randomly hold the casting of the special skill for 1x, 2x or 3x charges.
• The number seems predetermined & holds until the cast occurs (i.e. determined at 0 mana & only sets a new number after casting special skill)
• There is NO interface/ heads up or anything which describes or gives warning when a Defending Ninja Hero will fire it’s special (i.e. nothing to indicate whether it will fire on 1x, 2x or 3x charge).
