Enemies

The current website sync tracks 83 story enemies across 24 story phases, plus the separate VikramAditya prologue encounter.

Each enemy is built from:

For the full per-enemy cycles, use the intent sheets. For encounter-by-encounter stat notes, use Enemies By Story.

Enemy Tiers

Tier	Role	HP Range	Count
T1	Footsoldiers, scholars, commoners	10–25	29
T2	Elite warriors, nobles, guards	26–40	34
T3	Queens, generals, asuras	38–50	12
T4	Story bosses and legendary enemies	33–105	8

The prologue encounter adds VikramAditya as one additional T4 intent sheet.

Every enemy follows a 6-turn intent cycle.

Pattern rules:

Fixed loop means the enemy repeats the same order every cycle
Shuffle all but first means turn 1 stays fixed, while turns 2-6 rotate in random order

Intent types:

Intent	Meaning
Attack	Deals damage, may apply debuffs
Block	Gains block/armor
AttackBlock	Attacks and blocks in the same turn
OnlyEffect	Buffs, debuffs, or card manipulation — no damage
