Spell Targeting

[Nick_K]

AFAIK area-of-effect spells are pretty random where targetting is concerned. They usually hit neaby troops though, and usually are fairly good about avoiding friendly fire.

Single target 'always hits' type spells such as paralyse seem to go for the 'biggest' target. I think this is done by HP, but I'm not sure. I imagine that Claws of Cocytus falls into this category and would target the pretender, while banefire is an AoE spell.
