AI, also known as Tactics for players, dictates how enemies and allies behave in dungeon situations. This is a list of all AIs currently in the game and their function. They are split into two groups: the ones meant for use by allies, and the ones meant for use by enemies. There is nothing stopping modders from giving ally-like AI, but this tends to make them behave more unfairly.

== Player Tactics ==

All player tactics have the following special properties:

* Will pick up items.
* Will use items if given to hold.
* Will not willingly walk into traps.
* Chooses to attack an enemy over walking towards it.
* Picks the best attack on enemies based on basepower, STAB, and type matchups.
* Knows about type neutralizing abilities.

=== Stick Together ===

Prioritizes staying close to the player. Will attack enemies, but only if close to the player.
If it's separated, it will stick to any ally it finds.

=== Go After Foes ===

Same as Stick Together, but will attack foes even when not close to the player.

=== Split Up ===

Same as Go After Foes, but tries to go the other way from allies when it doesn't see enemies in sight.

=== Avoid Trouble ===

Normally follows the leader, but will prioritize avoiding enemies if it sees them. This tactic will never attack.

=== Get Away ===

Runs away from everyone, friend or foe. This tactic will never attack.

=== Wait There ===

Stays still. If it can use a move or attack, it will still do that.

== Enemy Tactics ==

Enemy tactics are made deliberately dumber to offer a fair-feeling challenge to players. Unless otherwise stated, they behave like such:

* They attack by choosing a random move out of the ones they have enabled.
* They normally avoid traps, but will become careless to this when seeing opponents.
* They grab items off the floor, but don't know how to use them. Including reviver seeds.
* They will generaly prefer against stacking debuffs or buffs
* Won't self-buff when beyond 3 tiles away.

=== Normal Wander ===

Wanders the dungeon, and attacks the team on sight. Sticks to allies of its own team.

=== Smart Wander ===

=== Dumb Wander ===

=== Itemless Dumb Wander ===

=== Item Finder ===

Performs like Normal Wander but can use items. IT DOES NOT SEEK OUT ITEMS SPECIFICALLY BUT REALLY SHOULD.

=== Slow Wander ===

=== Retreater ===

=== Patrol ===

=== Slow Patrol ===

=== Weird Tree ===

=== Thief ===

=== Turret ===

=== Tit for Tat ===

=== Loot Guard ===

=== Shopkeeper ===

=== Shuckle ===

=== Boss ===

=== Staged Boss ===

=== Wait Attack ===

The enemy equivalent of Wait There, lacking item intelligence and attacking randomly.

=== Wait Only ===

Does absolutely nothing every turn.
