</div>

so it should be:

```python
hero.moveXY(65, 66)
while True:
    enemies = hero.findEnemies()
    enemy = hero.findNearest(enemies)
    if enemy.type=="soldier" or enemy.type=="knight" or enemy=="scout":
        if enemy:
            if hero.isReady("bash"):
                hero.bash(enemy)
            else:
                hero.attack(enemy)
    else:
        if hero.health>hero.maxHealth/4:
            hero.shield()
        else:
            hero.moveXY(42, 77)

```

you need to say if chain lightning is ready

> [@Ryan\_Wong](#):
>
> ```python
> if hero.isReady("bash"):
> hero.attack(enemy)
>

replace the attack with bash

> [@Ryan\_Wong](#):
>
> `if enemy.type=="soldier" or enemy.type=="knight" or enemy=="scout":`

you only attack enemies in the types you said

> [@Ryan\_Wong](#):
>
> `enemy = hero.findNearest(enemies)`

this provides a array

In your if statement checking if you are able to bash, instead of attacking, bash your enemy with hero.bash(enemy). Next, check if your hero can cast chain-lightning, if he can then make him use chain lightning. Then add an else statement after chain-lightning and attack in the else statement, so if your cannot bash or cast chain-lightning, then he would attack. Another thing is that you should attack all enemies except if they are types sand-yaks or ogres.
