The artificial intelligence (AI) dictates how the computer player plays. AI can simulate what human players do like repairing buildings and training units.

In EotA, the AI picks heroes and fight, using abilities and buying and tempering items. The AI will also participate in map objectives like Verdant Falls' shrine battles and taking the mooontear in Kedge's Landing.

  • Unused mercenary heroes can be hired from the Tavern for 1200 gold and will be owned by Red/Blue. They have their own income and cannot invest in talents. They last until 2 deaths. Hiring mercenary heroes have a 5 minute cooldown.
