Mercenary Healer AI Improvements✨
Mercenary healers have been updated to make smarter decisions, avoid unnecessary overhealing, and manage mana more efficiently during both combat and downtime.
- Mercenary healers will no longer heal targets at or above 95% HP, preventing wasted casts.
- Healing targets at or above 90% HP will now only occur if:
- The healer has at least 90% mana, ensuring surplus resources, or
- The target is currently under attack, prioritizing survival in active combat.
These changes should result in more efficient healing, better mana conservation, and more reliable support behavior in longer fights.
