I am having trouble with my code on this level. I am trying to find the weakest enemy and then attack that enemy but nothing is happening. PLS HELP!

```python
# This function should go through the enemy array and find the weakest enemy
def findWeakestEnemy():
    enemies = hero.findEnemies()
    weakest = None
    leastHealth = 99999
    enemyIndex = 0
    # Picking out individual enemy from the array and testing his health agains leastHealth
    if enemyIndex < len(enemies):
        enemy = enemies[enemyIndex]
        if enemy.health < leastHealth:
            weakest = enemy
            leastHealth = enemy.health
            enemyIndex += 1
            return

while True:
    enemy = findWeakestEnemy()
    if enemy:
        hero.attack(enemy)

```

Hi dedreous,

Heh…unfortunately 'tis true. 🙂

The first issue I see is with:

```python
    if enemyIndex < len(enemies):

```

Rather than using an ‘if’ statement, you should use a conditional loop instead. As written now, ‘enemyIndex’ will eventually become \>= len(enemies), since you are incrementing it, so eventually, this entire ‘if’ block with be ignored.

Can you please help me with Clash of Clones? Here is my code:

```python
while True:
    enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    if enemy:
        if hero.isReady("bash"):
            hero.bash(enemy)
        else:
            hero.attack(enemy)
            if hero.health <= 75:
                hero.moveXY(41, 67)
                break

```
