Ability Selection

Notes on enemy AI:	While in a given battle stage, enemies will attempt to use First Choice abilities. If impossible (due to focus, silencing or cooldowns), they will proceed to Second Choice, etc. Cooldown for enemies indicates how often abilities may be used, and is effectively one less than for Sonny (IE cooldown of 2 can be used every second turn) Enemy-targetting abilities have a chance of targetting the weakest enemy rather than targetting at random; this is given in the Attributes section above. Ally-targetting abilities always target the weakest targetable ally. Selection within a category is random unless indicated. All exceptions noted below.
Battle Stages	First Choice	Second Choice	Third Choice
All friendly units above 1% HP	Debilitated Overexertion Rabies Wound	Adrenaline Leading Strike
Weakest friendly unit below 1% HP	50%: -Debilitated -Overexertion -Rabies -Wound 50%: -Adrenaline -Leading Strike

Tactics

Generally, physical defense is important. Making sure everyone has high health and that they have the Mining Helmet is good.

Roald or Felicity will be the main damage dealer against the Blood Hounds. A Hydraulic build might give Emerald Death to either of them as Sonny would use support abilities such as Flash Freeze to keep the Blood Hounds stunned. In a Legend run, Felicity will have access to Hew shop equipment and her damage might make her a better option for this fight over Roald.

They have a high speed, yet lower health than the Riot Police. It is often wiser to destroy them first, although caution decreased accuracy of attacks due to their high speed. Stunning them, or using abilities that are accurate or cannot be avoided is a good strategy.

The specialist has lower strength than the hounds but can debuff the team a lot, and some abilities scale with speed (the specialist has the same amount of speed as the hounds), so it's wise to stun him as much as possible or just go for one hound and hope he won't cast Black Metal  or Chloroform.

Drops

They drop nothing.
