This is my code I don’t know whats wrong with it?

while True:  
enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy(enemy)  
# If there is an enemy, then…  
if enemy:  
# Create a distance variable with distanceTo.  
distance = hero.distanceTo(enemy) \<5  
# If the distance is less than 5 meters, then attack.  
hero.attack(enemy)  
# Else (the enemy is far away), then shield.  
else:  
distance = hero.distanceTo(enemy)  
hero.moveXY(40, 34)  
pass  
# Else (there is no enemy)…

Seems like you are missing the call to shield for one. I’m using Lua so my code looks a little different. Aren’t you also supposed to cleave? You might want to try resetting the map and filling in the instructions the comments give. I would just paste my code but I’m not sure that’d really be helping you.

It says you should shield[, but I will see if cleaving works and allows me to win.

You’re supposed to set it to do both depending on the conditions.
