-/**
- * Bot: Archmage
- *
- * BEHAVIOR: Versatile duelist that adapts missile choice based on distance and HP.
- * Close range → straight missiles (no turn cost = more damage). Mid/far range → homing.
- * Uses dual-blink aggressively (gap-close during vulnerability, escape when trade is bad).
- * HP-aware: ahead → aggressive close range; behind → defensive ranged kiting.
- *
- * KEY IMPROVEMENTS OVER WARMAGE:
- * - Range-adaptive missiles: straight close, homing far
- * - Vulnerability-timed blinks: gap-close during enemy cast/GCD
- * - HP-aware aggression: adjusts distance + risk tolerance based on HP differential
- * - Progressive cast-cancel: graduated thresholds
- *
- * PROGRESSION LINE: Battlemage → Warmage → Archmage
- * TIER: 3 (elite Duelist line)

+ * Bot: Archmage
+ *
+ * BEHAVIOR: Versatile duelist that adapts missile choice based on distance and HP.
+ * Close range → straight missiles (no turn cost = more damage). Mid/far range → homing.
+ * Uses dual-blink aggressively (gap-close during vulnerability, escape when trade is bad).
+ * HP-aware: ahead → aggressive close range; behind → defensive ranged kiting.
+ *
+ * KEY IMPROVEMENTS OVER WARMAGE:
+ * - Range-adaptive missiles: straight close, homing far
+ * - Vulnerability-timed blinks: gap-close during enemy cast/GCD
+ * - HP-aware aggression: adjusts distance + risk tolerance based on HP differential
+ * - Progressive cast-cancel: graduated thresholds
+ *
+ * PROGRESSION LINE: Battlemage → Warmage → Archmage
+ * TIER: 3 (elite Duelist line)
