Do they just make the best possible choices or is there a chance they just brain fart and make stupid choices?

I mean, I'm technically in control and I still make terrible decisions from time to time

I imagine it’s the same ai level that you play against the whole game so… some fights are brain dead and some fights I feel like I’m playing against a chess master

Some make me feel like I'm playing against a filthy cheat

"AI always cheats" is a mantra as old as AI.

Definitely stupid. It uses the game's AI as a baseline and that's not terrible, but also not particularly good.

I'd say it's fairly good. It's so good, in fact, that when you leave it no good moves to make because you obliterated their strongest dude and then jumped 30 squares away in a single turn, it literally holds the game up for a solid minute or so trying to figure out what to do.

I would imagine they act much like the NPCs you fight.

If the AI for the ghouls from Danse Macabre is any example, they make stupid choices. The ghouls can be standing next to an enemy and waste their turn with Dash to get to another enemy.
