Does anyone know how and when the AI decides to use Chimera? I made a pharaoh deck + chimera for the arena, but in the "tests" the AI never uses it -even after filling the screen with scarabs, making it just a poorly designed pharaoh deck :(

So, it sparked my curiosity, and any help sating it would be most appreciated!
I think it only uses it if it has enough damage to kill you that turn.
My 3 game-modification principles:
1. If it ain't broke, don't wreck it.
2. Simple fixes for simple problems.
3. Remember to fill in the holes.

Do pillars trigger separately one after another or does the generation form clumps (aka is 3 Quantum Pillars 3 :rainbow+3 :rainbow+3 :rainbow or 9 :rainbow)?

Do quantum pillars ignore full quanta pools?

Yes, quantum pillars ignore full pools and produce quantum for them anyway.

As for clumps or individuals, idk. They do stack and the gui shows them producing quantum in groups so i would imagine the game is coded that way.

Yeah, the AI predicts damage twice. The first time uses the same method as the damage indicator on your health bar (the yellow section). This is used for some decisions involving burrow, or on the other side, when to use miracle. The second time it just adds the attack of all its creatures. This is used to decide when to cast chimera, and is much more accurate because it removes the issues of fog shield, adrenaline and antimatter.

From what I heard quadruple attack.

Thanks, but I am looking for a more certain answer. (aka someone that can see the code)

Ghost of the Past can be gotten from Mutation.

It would really allow octuple attack, would it not? You can use the ability once then cast Shard of Readiness to use the ability twice more ... in fact, consecutive Shards of Readiness could theoretically allow for x8192 attack. :) To answer your implied question, Dive does indeed double attack power.

I have some questions today:

How does the upgrading machine of AI4 exactly work ?

Does it decide for each card, if p<0.3 let the card be upgraded in the deck ?
Can I win a Ruby Dragon from AI4, when the deck only contains Crimson Dragons ?
At which point of the game is the status (upgraded /unupgraded ) of a card determined for the spinner ? Does the game decide that, when the deck is created, when the 4 cards are chosen, or individually for each slot reel ?

I ask, because that could have (massive?) influence on the number of upgraded cards you can get.

I'm suddenly having visions of spamming six shard of readiness on some sort of super time diving mutant... and then twinning it.

TU mutants have their attack based on the originals full attack, not current attack. Thus, all the bonus attack from dive spam would not be copied.
