- Regular buff loop in all 3 tiers now collects candidates then sorts
by MP cost ascending (cheapest first) when no channeling, or
descending (most expensive first) when channeling is active
- Previously just iterated BUFF_PRIORITY declaration order (Haste →
Spark → Heartseeker → Regen → Absorb → Shadow Veil) which wasn't
cost-ordered
- _reason now shows 'buff' (cheapest first) or 'chBuff' (most expensive)
- castInitialBuffs now tags actions with _reason='init' (cheapest-first
sort, no channeling) or _reason='initCh' (most-expensive-first,
channeling already charged)
- Makes the log clearly show which buff path fired
- Some quickbar/deprecated elements retain onclick even when on cooldown
if the cooldown indicator is only visual (img opacity:0.5) not structural
- Now also checks img.btqi / img style.opacity !== '0.5'
- This catches cases where the parent div has onclick but the inner image
is visually dimmed (game cooldown)
- Added hasReadySpell() that checks DOM for onclick attribute (off cooldown)
- Buff loop (all tiers) now uses hasReadySpell instead of hasSpell
- Cure/Full-Cure now checks cooldown before casting
- Channeling target selection checks cooldown
- castInitialBuffs checks cooldown
- Imperil/Weaken debuffs check cooldown
- hasSpell() kept for knowledge checks (do we know this spell at all)
- Prevents silent failures where on-cooldown spells are selected but
can't actually be cast (btsd[onclick] fails to find them)
BUG FIXES (P0):
- Spark of Life SP safety: consume spirit items when SP < 55% BEFORE
buffs, Cure, or any other action (both Adept and Veteran)
- Spirit Stance safety auto-disable: auto-toggle OFF if SP drops below 60%
- useItem() fallback: auto_ slot IDs now lookup by onmouseover attribute
(on-cooldown items without DOM id were silently failing)
- setTimeout targeting race: removed 50ms delay in castTargetSpell/useSkill
(was causing targeting failures with fast Q-repeat)
- maxBuffDur pre-seeded with L150+ baseline values (haste=80, heartseeker=120,
sparklife=50, etc.) so fill-level scoring works from first turn
STRATEGY (P1):
- Channeling waste eliminated for 2H physical builds: no more Fiery Blast
fallback — let channeling expire on a basic attack (Domino Strike +
Penetrated Armor do more damage)
- Weapon skill thresholds lowered from 5+ to 3+ enemies (IWBTH survivability)
- Expanded debuffs: Imperil on any 2+ mobs, Weaken on high-threat targets
(not just bosses anymore)
- Domino Strike optimal targeting: findOptimalDominoTarget() picks center
monsters to max splash coverage (up to 2 targets each side)
NEW FEATURES:
- Domino Strike splash positioning algorithm added to all tiers
- Full _reason tags on every action return for decision tracing
- agy research report saved at hermes_report.md (554 lines)
- maxBuffDur now saved to localStorage['hvunified_maxBuffDur'] on every
new high observation and loaded on STATE init
- Survives page reloads: Heartseeker's 180-turn max stays learned
- Removed the unreliable-max fallback hack — no longer needed
- First Q press of a fresh session has accurate fill-level scores
for all buffs that were observed in previous sessions
- When maxBuffDur gap (max - current) is < 10, the cap is unreliable
(first observation mid-battle, not at full duration)
- In that case, skip the fill-level formula entirely
- Only suggest a buff for channeling if it actually needs refresh
(dur <= minTurns from BUFF_PRIORITY)
- Once maxBuffDur learns the true cap (after a fresh cast), the
normal fill-level scoring takes over correctly
- Q-key log now shows: HP, current MP, MP%, SP%, OC, monster count,
buff durations, and per-monster SP bar levels (spBars: 0:120 1:95 ...)
- High-threat detection logs a red '⚠ HIGH THREAT' warning
- Emergency skill usage at low OC logs an orange '⚠ emergency' warning
- Now you can paste me the console log and I'll see exact threat levels,
why skills did/didn't fire, and what the state was before each action
- Fix: items on cooldown (no id attr) were invisible to parser
Spirit Draught/Potion on cooldown couldn't be auto-consumed
- Fix: spiritPotionSP raised from 30% to 60%
- New: parse monster SP bar widths into STATE.monsterSp[]
- New: findDangerousMonster() — targets highest SP bar monster
- New: hasHighThreat() — true if 2+ monsters >85% SP (about to special)
- Weapon skills now fire on high-threat even without full OC
- Basic attacks prefer dangerous monsters in all tiers
- Raised spiritPotionSP threshold from 30% to 60%
- Added Spirit item check at step 2b in Adept and Veteran tiers:
if SP < 55%, consume Spirit Draught/Potion immediately
- Spark of Life costs 50% max SP when triggered. If SP is too low,
Spark fails and you die. Keeping SP above 55% ensures Spark always
has enough fuel to save you from a killing blow on IWBTH
- castInitialBuffs was sorting by mpCost descending (b.mpCost - a.mpCost)
- So it picked Spark of Life (70) before Haste (41), defeating the
whole purpose of casting cheapest-first to proc channeling
- Changed to ascending sort (a.mpCost - b.mpCost): Haste first, then
Spark, etc.
- Was using vrhd (HP element) instead of vrm (current MP)
- Now reads #vrm textContent for current MP value
- Simply compares mpCost > curMp to skip unaffordable spells
- This prevents the infinite Heartseeker loop when you
don't have enough MP even though the buff is a good target
- Removed SPELL_COSTS hardcoded table
- Base MP costs are now read from the magic pane's onmouseover
tooltip at battle init and cached in STATE._baseMpCosts
- Cache is populated during parseBattleState() and persists
for the entire battle, avoiding channeling's 1-MP display
- Cache resets on new battle, so level-ups or stat changes
are picked up when starting a new arena
- Removed hardcoded SPELL_COSTS table (was brittle)
- Now reads base MP cost directly from the magic pane's
onmouseover tooltip (always shows true base cost, unaffected
by channeling's 1-MP display or Mana Conservation)
- Added affordable check: skip spells where base cost exceeds
current MP, even though channeling would make it cost 1
- The game's native MP check (shown by "You do not have enough")
checks against base cost, not channeling-reduced cost
- Some spells show mp=1 in the DOM due to high Mana Conservation
proficiency, making fill-level scoring produce near-zero values
- Now: if mpCost < 5, look up the base cost from SPELL_COSTS table
- This ensures Heartseeker (141 MP) scores correctly even when the
DOM shows it costing 1 MP
- Logs the top candidate from findBestChannelingTarget() on every Q press
- Shows: spell, score, dur, maxDur, mpCost, emptiness%
- Next time channeling doesn't fire on a buff, the console will show
the actual computed scores so we can see what's happening
- When maxBuffDur for a buff equals its current duration (first observation
in a battle), the emptiness was 0 — making the script think all buffs
are full and skipping them
- Now: if maxDur <= current dur, assume a minimum of 30 turns as the max
- This ensures buffs like Shadow Veil at 8/8 are treated as 8/30 (73% empty)
instead of 8/8 (0% empty)
- Mystic Gem usage now tracked with STATE._mysticUsed flag
Prevents re-triggering the gem check after it's been consumed
(stale STATE.itemsKnown was causing infinite 'item → p' loops)
- Flag resets on new battle initialization
- Added buff durations + channeling status to Q-key console output
Shows: ch=true/false mp=X% oc=X buffs: heartseeker=47 haste=24 ...
- Removed call to undefined finalizeBattleLog() that was spamming
ReferenceErrors and potentially corrupting the MutationObserver
- Raised channeling score threshold from 5 to 30: now only picks a
buff for channeling if it's at least 30% empty on a 100-MP spell
or 60% empty on a 50-MP spell
- Spark at 30/60 turns (50% empty, score 44) now falls to cheap
damage fallback instead of wasting channeling
- Score = emptiness_ratio × mp_cost
- emptiness_ratio = (max_dur - current) / max_dur
- max_dur is tracked dynamically per buff in STATE.maxBuffDur
(learned from the highest duration seen per icon)
- Freshly cast buffs score ~0 regardless of MP cost
- A 100-MP buff at 1/90 turns scores 98.9
- A 40-MP buff at 25/50 turns scores 20.0
- A 140-MP buff at 71/80 turns scores 15.75
- Removed the Heartseeker >50 skip (no longer needed - fill level handles it)
- Reverted the >10 turns cutoff (wrong approach)
- Instead, added a minimum score threshold of 5 to the best candidate
- At score >= 5: a 50-MP spell with <9 turns, a 140-MP spell with <27 turns
- Below score 5: falls through to cheap damage spell fallback
- This prevents recasting fresh buffs while still considering all spells
- findBestChannelingTarget: skip buffs with >10 remaining turns
- When all buffs are fresh, falls through to cheap damage spell
instead of wasting channeling on a nearly-full duration buff
- This prevents recasting Spark of Life at 15 turns just because
its score happens to be highest among all fresh buffs
- Reduced buff loop MP threshold from 20% to 10% in all three tiers
(prevents skipping buffs when MP is moderately low)
- Also fixed the 'battleLog is not defined' ReferenceError from the
vitals observer (removed in previous commit but was still referenced)
- Moved findBestChannelingTarget() BEFORE the BUFF_PRIORITY loop
- When Q is pressed and channeling is active, the script now picks the most
expensive buff for the channeling charge instead of wasting it on the
first buff in priority order (Haste at 32 MP instead of Heartseeker at 175)
- Reverted the vitals auto-execute (Q-key workflow, not auto-battle)
- All three tiers: channeling check fires after castInitialBuffs but
before the regular shouldBuff loop
- findBestChannelingTarget() fallback: expanded damage spell list to
include T2 spells (Inferno, Blizzard, etc.) and a last-resort loop
that fires ANY offensive spell the player knows
- Prevents channeling from expiring when all buffs have high remaining
durations and the player has no T1 elemental spells
- Added castInitialBuffs() that fires when 60%+ buffs are down (first round)
- Without channeling: casts cheapest buff first (more casts = more procs)
- With channeling: casts most expensive remaining buff (best value for free cast)
- Added isFirstRoundBuffs() helper: checks if most buffs are missing
- Injected into all three tiers (Novice, Adept, Veteran) before the
regular BUFF_PRIORITY loop
- Added STATE.battleRound counter for future round tracking
At Lv100+ / Hell difficulty, all normal monsters also have SP bars
(the red nbarred.png). This made the script think every monster was
a boss, triggering debuffs (Imperil/Weaken) on every fight and
draining MP.
Changes:
- isRareMonster() no longer checks for nbarred.png
- Only gold border (BD7400/E6CCA3) indicates a real boss
- Debuffs now only fire on gold-border bosses, not on ≤2 monsters
Spirit item logic split by source:
- P-slot gem (10007): used immediately on every turn, free to refill
with crystals, keeps SP permanently high for Spark + Stance
- Spirit Draughts/Potions in item slots: only used when SP < threshold (30%)
to conserve consumable credits
Spirit gems now fire whenever one is slotted regardless of SP level.
This keeps SP constantly topped up for:
- Spark of Life (costs 50% SP to trigger)
- Manual Spirit Stance (costs 1 SP + 10% OC per round)
Removed the old SP < 30% threshold check.
Spark of Life consumes 50% of your SP bar when triggered. If you're in
Spirit Stance with low SP, Spark fails to proc. Changes:
- No auto-activation of Spirit Stance (toggle manually with S key)
- Auto-disable if SP drops below 65% to reserve SP for Spark trigger
- Veteran still has optional auto-activation via CFG.autoSpirit but
requires SP > 65% (practically never triggers)
The active buff icon is /y/e/sparklife.png -> stored as 'sparklife'.
The 'fallenshield.png' check is for detecting when it has been consumed
(triggered), not for the active buff. This was causing the script to
think Spark of Life was never active, recasting it every turn.
1. Spark of Life icon is 'fallenshield.png' not 'spark_of_life' -
fixed BUFF_PRIORITY key so buff detection works correctly
2. Mana/spirit items moved to AFTER buffs in all 3 tiers -
was drinking mana potions on turn 2 before buffs were cast
3. Priority order: Health items -> Cure -> Buffs -> Mana items ->
Skills -> Spirit Stance -> Damage spells -> Channeling -> Attack
Channeling works: proc on mana-costing spell -> next spell costs 1 MP
and is 50% stronger/longer. The charge lasts 5 ticks (15 with Mystic
Gem) then wears off and is wasted.
Previously the script would basic attack with channeling charged,
wasting the bonus. Now:
- If channeling is active and nothing more urgent, still cast a buff
(refresh anything under 10 turns) or a cheap damage spell
- Never basic attack while channeling is charged
- Novice/Adept/Veteran all have this protection
Channeling wiki fix:
- Procs randomly on any mana-costing spell
- Proc chance = spell_cost / (base_mana * 1.2)
- Higher cost = higher chance (Regen/Absorb at 17 MP = ~6%)
- Cannot re-proc while already channeling
- Duration: 5 ticks (15 with Mystic Gem)
- Effect: next spell costs 1 MP, 50% stronger/longer
Kickstart now only refreshes expiring buffs (missing or < 5 turns)
with decent-cost spells (Regen/Absorb). No more cheap attack spells
at 4 MP = 1.4% proc chance — that was a waste of MP.
Defaults reverted to full-conservative values since the 'mp-focused'
win was based on wrong channeling assumptions.
Shadow Veil buff icon is stored as 'shadowveil' (from img src filename,
no underscore). Priority list now uses the correct key. minTurns=3
prevents recasting while still active. Also moved to last priority
position — only cast when MP is plentiful.
At 20% SP (~10 SP = 10 rounds of sustain), the player would toggle on
during a Grindfest round, consume SP quickly, toggle off when SP < 3%,
then 3 turns later the cooldown expires and OC is back to 60+ -> toggle
on again. Raising the threshold to 40% means ~20 rounds of sustained
Spirit Stance, making the engagement meaningful and rarely cycling.
Spirit Stance costs 1 SP + 10% OC per round (wiki). Previously toggled
on at 10% SP which meant ~5 rounds of sustain, often running out
immediately. Now requires 20% SP (~10 rounds sustain) to toggle on.
3-turn cooldown still prevents rapid flip-flopping between states.
Spirit stance was toggling on/off every turn because conditions (OC >= 60,
SP > 10%) would be met immediately after toggling off. Added a 3-turn
cooldown via STATE._spiritCooldown that blocks re-toggling until it
expires. Prevents wasted turns on spirit stance spam.
