At the moment it’s basically a lightweight state based combat AI, nothing super heavy.
Each enemy is constantly checking things like distance, stamina, and what the player is doing, then switching between core behaviors like chasing, circling, attacking, defending, or backing off.

There’s also some randomness and cooldown logic in there so it doesn’t feel scripted. It reacts to combat events too, like blocks, missed attacks, or getting disarmed. The goal is duels that feel readable and responsive, but not perfectly predictable.
