trying to understand how dragon and AQ pick targets

Hey,

First dragon:
I lured cc troops (drag, balloon) to corner with archer, and when dragon was few tiles away I dropped my dragon to get few early hits. It was going good. I knew my lv 4 drag will kill that lv 5 drag, but cc balloon joins in. Now, my dragon starts attacking balloon instead of finishing lv 5 drag, loose the advantage, and died. Your thoughts? Why this switch?

Now Queen:
I lured cc troops to corner with archer. Again, when they were 2-3 tiles away and locked on to archer, I dropped queen. But one wiz reached 1-2 second late, and my AQ started hitting gold mine. That wiz kept hitting AQ, but AQ didn't bothered, because she was busy with gold mine. Hence, died. It was a shocker. That wiz was at 20% health, and still killed AQ which was 100% hp. Females are so obsessed with gold, aren't they? :smirk:

Well ya know, the queen has an ability where she goes invisible and deals more dmg, so just a thought, u coulda press that button

Weird stuff happens. Best advice I have seen is don't expect things to happen, like your queen targeting a lone wiz, and bring backup. Drags, pekkas, heroes - they can have a mind of their own.

well ya know, normal people can't see future and can't forecast that AI error is going to happen.

I had other things to watch, so I assumed Queen is enough to kill 1 wiz at 20% hp.

yes, I thought queen will act like B king, i.e. if a troop hits it, then B king targets that troop first. I assumed queen was enough and saved ability was last. Except, queen wasn't there. Thanks, I will follow that advice too.

Don't be so sexist. But yes, the queen loves her gold storages.

I am still trying to understand wizards. They NEVER seem to target the opponents clan castle troops for me. Even when the are right in front of them, they go for buildings, which are further away. Doesn't make sense.

Yes the new ai changes make it much more difficult to get troops to attack the enemy cc troops. Usually they have to be attacked first. Meanwhile they run right past them -.-

I have had this problem too. I have tried everything I can think of to get wizards to target CC troops and it seems no matter what I do they only target when they want to.

We all have had our share of terrible AIs, but what I mentioned above was a complete shocker.

I didn't meant "obsessed with gold" in a negative way, more like "being quite fond of gold", so fond that she kept hitting gold mine and didn't cared if a wizard beside her is shooting her.
