Skilled
AI Firing Method: Hunt & target (checkerboard, direction lock)
A standard challenge similar to a real human opponent.
Skilled difficulty hunts ships with a checkerboard pattern, then tracks the surrounding area once it scores a hit. Once two cells line up, it locks in the direction and targets both ends of the line.
It plays most like a human opponent, making it well-suited for practicing the fundamentals of both placement and offense.
- Spread your ships apart so a single track can't catch more than one ship.
- Mix edges and center, horizontal and vertical, so your placement can't be read.
