    Question for the OP. Did you have scanner equipped? That attachment usually makes it so the automaton checks resist rates of a spell before it decides to cast it.

    Hello!

    In order for your trusty automaton to determine enemies' resistances, it's not enough to just equip a scanner! Try using an ice maneuver after equipping a scanner.

    or you could just know your monster weakensses before hand and just manipulate your pup into specific nukes based on maneuvers and not waste an ice attachment slot.........

    I really shouldn't take the time to, but what the hell.

    You need to cast cure, so you put up the light maneuver for priority curing. You now have 10 seconds to wait before the Automaton can receive another command. Casting a paralyze afterwards on something that can't be paralyzed is a waste of MP/time/energy. You can manipulate the puppet only by so much.

    I was doing Excavation Duty (Assault Mission), made sure I had scanner up and kept 3 ice maneuvers up. Lobo continued to cast paralyze and poison. Poison which the rocks are immune to and paralyze because.... ¿Maybe he was afraid chips of rock may fly at me?

    Scanner doesn't work.
