Here is my code:

```python
# The goal is to survive for 30 seconds, and keep the mines intact for at least 30 seconds.
enemyIndex = 0
def chooseStrategy():
    enemyyyy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    
    enemies = hero.findEnemies()
    # If you can summon a griffin-rider, return "griffin-rider"
    if hero.gold>hero.costOf("griffin-rider"):
        return "griffin-rider"
    # If there is a fangrider on your side of the mines, return "fight-back"
    while enemyIndex<len(enemies):
        enemy = enemies[enemyIndex]
        if enemy.type == 'fangrider' and hero.distanceTo(enemyyyy):
            return heroAttack()
            
    enemyIndex+=1
     
    # Otherwise, return "collect-coins"
    return pickUpCoin()

def commandAttack():
    # Command your griffin riders to attack ogres.
    hero.summon("griffin-rider")
    enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    
    if enemy:
        soldier = hero.findFriends()
        soldierIndex = 0
        
        
        while soldierIndex < len(soldier):
            soldier = soldiers[soldierIndex]
            hero.command(soldier, "attack", enemy)
            soldierIndex+=1
    
    pass
    
def pickUpCoin():
    # Collect coins
    item = hero.findNearestItem()
    if item:
        
            
        hero.move(item.pos)
    pass
    
def heroAttack():
    # Your hero should attack fang riders that cross the minefield.
    enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    if enemy:
        hero.attack(enemy)
    pass
    
while True:
    commandAttack()
    strategy = chooseStrategy()
    # Call a function, depending on what the current strategy is.

This should be

```python
return "fight-back"

```

Also, what if you can’t return “griffin-rider” or return “fight-back”. Use an else statement with

```python
return "collect-coins"

```

Then in your while true loop, create a variable for chooseStrategy() and check if the variable is equal to a strategy.

I’d like to note that when I used the strategy they told me to, I failed, so I just collected coins, while griffin riders fought.

I noticed it right away. I’m only at the beginning of the mountains, so don’t ask me for more help. 😃

_otherwise_

i tough you where using **griffin-riders** therefore soldiers will just blow the minefield up

> [@QinWentian](#):

use `hero.distanceTo(enemyyyy) < (the distance you want)`

The soldiers is actually a variable for griffin riders, sorry for the confusion XD
