THIS IS NOT A DEFINITIVE AI GUIDE FOR CRYSTAL KING EX IN 1.3; this is what I used to defeat him, but there could be phases/things I bypassed while fighting/testing that I may have missed (for example, I have NO IDEA how he chooses where to start once he enters a new phase). However, this, I feel, is a great reference point for his AI if you're looking to tackle him in Master Quest 1.3!

No turns because Happy Flower's RNG, but I will go over my general strategy for each phase.

PHASE 1
-------
Use Outta Sight on turns he'll Bit Spit, then Chill Out so you're not spamming Smooch every turn. Use Fire Shell/Electro Dash to deal damage. I always tried to keep at least 1 FP, but sometimes I took a chance on Happy Flower.

PHASE 2
-------
You can use a lot of SE here if you try to Chill Him out often. Still gotta Outta Sight on turns he'll Bit Spit. If you can, use Outta Sight on the second Frost Breath -> Ice Beam so you can Focus on Frost Breath -> Ground Clones. It actually gives you a net positive SE value as you loop through doing this.

PHASE 3
-------
Outta Sight the first Bit Spit, then Chill Out the second and guard. If you haven't been using Refresh at all, this is the time to use it over Smooch to conserve SE and spam Fire Shell without worrying about Happy Flower so you can finish this Phase as quickly as possible.

*These two moves in his AI seem to be HP-based, meaning that once the HP threshold has been bypassed, this move is removed from their AI. I don't know the exact values, but in general, they'll only do a full loop with these moves once because you'll probably use Fire Shell a couple of times before they can hit it again.
