So, as someone who didn't whale on Revan I'm trying to work out why he ALWAYS targets traya. I've asked around and the best answer I've found is this:
"If he doesn't target Traya, she isolates him and its game over."
So, every other toon in the game is subject to RNG, but Revan isn't?
He will always target traya because if he doesn't, he won't hold on defence and there fore would be useless in arena.
Say it ain't so... If it's really only for that reason I'd say that's pretty messed up. I'm glad he was introduced but the whole premise of arena battles was based on RNG, now we have one toon targeting another because her special ability is better than his, if she's gets to land it on him.
Someone's gotta be joking right?

So basically people who paid for him not only paid for the toon, they paid for the privilege to not have to deal with RNG on defence.
That is a joke...
Bad omens for the game if this is the way it is gonna be, going forward, imo.
However so far I didn't find a better explanation than Revan just targets traya over other characters
Sketchy is one word for it, I can think of a few more adjectives that fit there too
"I paid for this toon and I got the RNG removed for free"
Like I have said, it has to be a bad joke or poorly thought out.
They didn't remove RNG from revan, they made him to be a hard counter.
Don't get me wrong, I think he's a great introduction into the game, what I am saying is that this kind of hard countering/hard-coding is a joke.
It's really moving into dangerous territory with the way they program the AI to think. It's supposed to think for itself, make choice, right or wrong, not have defined directions that it takes.
Yes. My OB takes 100% of Trayas isolates if he's undamaged.
The point is that regardless of how you set your team up and mod them, unless you hide her he will always target her, which is in essence only targeting her and being totally anti traya.
Both are great characters but having him only targeting her at all times available is a joke
Manipulation of your team to have the AI target a toon still based on a stat, doesnt change what the AI is hard coded to do. In this case it is coded to target either Treya or some other particular thing. Either way the AI doesnt do everything randomly there has always been hard coded things it works from as a base.
The AI does make choices, question is treya there...answer attack treya. < that is a decision based on a situation.
It is also this single minded AI decision making that allows us to out smart it and win.
Or you can put her in a team that will win, knowing that you dont need a tank because she will pull the first attacks.
There is many reasons there are pawns on a chess board.
So what you're saying is that it's always programmed to make a right choice, even though for other characters it makes the wrong choice at times...
Revan always targeting Traya if available is actually legitimately better AI design than random targeting. This is how a human would play that team intelligently and that should be the goal for game developer AI.
So what you're saying is right, I'm not going dispute that fact. AI should always think like a human as best as possible. However we just had another legendary character released a few weeks before Revan, who would also benefit from that logic. Chewy. If ran with Zolo the biggest threat from the other team is always traya, yet it's always random who they both attack first.
So, maybe there needs to be an AI stat introduced into the game so we can all farm "smart" characters to put on defence...
It's a joke buddy, I'm glad you're enjoying your Revan :-)
Revan's ai will take on the world.
And solve world hunger too?
Sure! After targeting Traya though.
