To my fear from this to happen, one of the most "holly" mechanisms of the game is being played with AGAIN, with no prior explanations nor "make it clear" post, Leonard, Devin and Alan are not taunting any AG units (which is the only one unit, the fire spitting soldier) the AA taunting is working fine, but this one "small" change was enough to ruin the event for me, hope kix would farther investigate or explain this change evnthough it's too late for that, for me at least.

    I have not noticed this yet ... but I will be on the look out

    it is Leo's drones and Devin's buddies that agro, not Devin or Leo .... so if the drones die or buddies(devout)

    similar to Jenny and her drone ... it is the drone, not her

    very old units like ardra and roland pull agro on their own

    Neither one of them are taunting, the Jenny drone is working fine, the only event enemy that kills my units is the AG only soldier, ignoring all the high priority units I mentioned.

    just to know, why devin doesn't taunt alone? devout does.

    there are different classes of high priority ... i define true high priority as devins bodyguards and jennys air drone... when the enemy is going after those u can attack it and IT WONT TURN ON U.... units like leonards drones have to be in front..

    Note high priority doesnt work on patrolling units as they will attack the first unit that hits them

    The enemy units on aggression mode would blindly go for any high priority unit that it's in front or back that's what the game been like for sometime now, except the patrolling units as you said (which I learned that the hard way in a previous event), Jenny's drone works like a charm for AA units, I can exclude devin since I don't have it's bodygards, but for Alan and Leonard not to attract AG units as if they're not there? that needed to be explained really.

    Alan,Roland,Ardra,Devin's bodyguards are high priority units by default, their priority rises further once they attack and hit the enemy unit, when they are in the back, the moment any unit attacks the enemy before these units attack, the enemy unit will switch focus to the unit shooting it until the following:

    1-a high priority unit shoots it, causing it to switch focus back to the high priority unit

    2-the unit stops firing for roughly 5 seconds, causing it's priority level to revert back to low level

    when it comes to Leonard however, things are different, since his drones don't shoot (excluding his air drones if he is at lvl 15) their priority level becomes quite high when they are in front, so even when they aren't shooting, all units behind these drones can fire safely without fearing of being shot at.

    Jenny's Drone and the Destroyer by far have the highest priority level, causing units to rush blindly at them

    the most dangerous commanders are those who you know nothing about

    Unfortunately not had much time for this event this weekend, but decided to see what I can do now - most of my heroes are maxed or higher level with decent health/DPS, but Devin for example is still lvl 5. The moment his bodyguards die, then as explained above, enemy units starts nailing my other units, which I didn't expect! I was then even more shocked when this continued even when I brought Leonard (lvl 11) to help! So with that, over 5 hours damage in a short space of time.

    This needed to be explained after Destroyer & Jenny's release then, I haven't seen any major changes since WrongThinker era, kix then explained the changes on RUBI & the high priority mechanisms, wish there was more fluidity in explaining the changes right on spot instead of letting confusion piles up.

    Thank you for taking time to explain this even-though it was very colsty and unfruitful in my situation, hope everyone else would take advantage of this post in future.
    have a nice one everyone.
