Milestone 11: AvCom - NPC Archetypes

[Rhaegar]

NPC behavior has been given an overhaul in 1.11: The Clash of Steel.

In the previous avatar combat system, most NPCs didn’t really do anything interesting. They just attacked you with a basic strike skill over and over. That was something we really wanted to change with the new system; now, NPCs will debuff you, combo you, set up big finishers, support their allies, and do a lot of other cool stuff as well.

What we ended up doing was grouping NPCs into different "archetypes", each with their own unique moveset.
