Hello, I’m doing exactly what the instructions told me to do for the level but my archers just aren’t strong enough for the job. What do I do?
loop{
var enemies = this.findEnemies();
var counter = 0;
var mostHealth = enemies[counter];
while(counter \< enemies.length){
if(enemies[counter].health \> mostHealth.health){
mostHealth = enemies[counter];
}
counter++;
}
```
var friends = this.findFriends();
var i = 0;
while(i < friends.length){
this.command(friends[i],"attack",mostHealth);
i++;
}
```
}

Please format your code as described in the FAQ. This makes it more likely that others will help you as they don’t have to do the formatting by themselves.

If I see that right I win by using (almost) the same code. I just have a check that `mostHealth` actually exists.
Have you tried to submit again? Submitting gives you a new random seed, possibly resulting in another outcome.

I got it with this code (only partially shown to avoid spoiling the level), even though there was an error.
```python
loop{
....
while(counter < enemies.length){
if(enemies[counter].health > mostHealth.health){
mostHealth = enemies[counter];
}
counter++;
}
var friends = this.findFriends();
var i = 0;
while(i < friends.length && enemies){
this.command(friends[i],"attack",mostHealth);
i++;
}
}
```

```python
# For this level, your hero doesn't fight.
# Command your archers to focus fire on the enemy with the most health!
while True:
friend = hero.findFriends()
enemies = hero.findEnemies()
highestHp =None
bestHealth=0
for enemy in enemies:
if enemy.health >= bestHealth:
highestHp = enemy
bestHealth = enemy.health
if highestHp:
friend = hero.findFriends()
hero.command(friend, "attack", highestHp)
```
If someone would be so kind as to tell me how to tell the archers how to attack the highestHp enemy … i get the error that , that is an array … and i’m really really stuck

It’s because you’re trying to command an array: `friend = hero.findFriends()` even though you’ve defined `friend` instead of `friends` which is a bit confusing. What you need to do is make a for loop and command each individual `friend` in `hero.findFriends()`

Hi @zython and welcome to the forum! 🥳
Is that a working code? If it is, can you delete it because here on the forum we do not want posted solutions? But if you need help at this level, can you format your code as it is described [here](https://discourse.codecombat.com/t/essentials-how-to-post-format-your-code-correctly/15521)?

I don’t know if that was right or wrong, I just guess.

I think you need to change if(enemy.health \>= health) { to if(enemy.health \> health) { because \>= means equal or greater than. So, it could think that a dead enemy was the greatest.

you change for enemy in enemies: to for i in enemies: then, you add enemy = enemies[i]
and friend = friends[i].

```python
# For this level, your hero doesn't fight.
# Command your archers to focus fire on the enemy with the most health!
while True:
friend = hero.findFriends()
enemies = hero.findEnemies()
best = None
maxHealth = 0
for i in len(enemies):
enemy = enemies[i]
friend = friends[i]
if enemy.health >= bestHealth:
best = enemy
maxHealth = enemy.health
if best:
hero.command(friend, "attack", best)
```
does this work?

I tried this
```python
# For this level, your hero doesn't fight.
# Command your archers to focus fire on the enemy with the most health!
while True:
friend = hero.findFriends()
enemies = hero.findEnemies()
best = None
maxHealth = 0
for i in len(enemies):
enemy = enemies[i]
friend = friends[i]
if enemy.health >= bestHealth:
best = enemy
maxHealth = enemy.health
if best:
hero.command(friend, "attack", best)
```
But it says that it have a error: Need an object. What the heck does that means anyway?

What about you maxHealth variable.
> [@zython](#):
>
> `friend = friends[i]`
You can’t command the archers like this. You’ve put the command line outside the for loop. You should create another for loop to command the archers.

it still doesn’t work:
```python
# For this level, your hero doesn't fight.
# Command your archers to focus fire on the enemy with the most health!
while True:
friend = hero.findFriends()
enemies = hero.findEnemies()
best = None
maxHealth = 0
for i in len(enemies):
enemy = enemies[i]
friend = friends[i]
if enemy.health >= bestHealth:
best = enemy
maxHealth = enemy.health
if best:
pass
hero.command(friend, "attack", best)
```

No, he does not. He said to command each archer to attack individualy.
