Kit Reveal: Droideka

UNIT NAME: Droideka
ALIGNMENT: Dark Side
CATEGORIES: Droid, Separatist, Attacker
Destructive Droid attacker that punishes fast enemies from behind its deflector shield

ABILITIES:

Basic: Twin Blaster Cannons

FINAL TEXT: Deal Physical damage to target enemy. Additionally, if the target has higher Speed than Droideka, deal true damage (ignores Defense but can't critically hit) which scales based on the difference in their Speed.

Special 1: Destructive Armament (Cooldown 3)

FINAL TEXT: Deal Physical damage to target enemy and true damage (ignores Defense but can't critically hit) an additional time for each stack of Charge, then inflict Target Lock for 2 turns. This attack can't be evaded.

Special 2: Reconstructive Revolution (Cooldown 3)

FINAL TEXT: Dispel all debuffs on Droideka and gain Damage Immunity (can't be copied) and Tenacity Up for 2 turns. Then, recover 10% Protection for each stack of Charge.

Unique 1: Deflector Shield Generator

FINAL TEXT: (ZETA) Droideka gains 10% Turn Meter and a stack of Charge for 1 turn whenever an enemy takes a turn. Additionally, Droideka recovers 10% Protection whenever it damages a Target Locked enemy.

Droideka has +50% Speed and +25% Evasion unless it has Damage Immunity. If Droideka has Damage Immunity, it has -50% Speed and a 35% chance to assist dealing 50% less damage whenever another Separatist ally uses an ability (limit once per turn).

Charge: +5% Offense per stack

    Question that isn't actually mentioned anywhere in the abilities (unless I missed, or misread something, which is entirely possible). Is Droideka supposed to "consume" charge at any point? Or does it just build up throughout the battle?



    "a stack of Charge for 1 turn"
    found in his unique, he doesnt consume it but it only lasts a turn


    Yeah, that was easy to miss in there. I did, and was bummed to see charge not building over the battles.
  • Is charge susceptible to dispels? Not stated that it can't be however doesn't feel like a traditional buff

    No, it can’t be dispelled.

    Oh CG, you are going to hate me! Droideka can solo a phase of the raid IF it’s not bugged. And I have a feeling it is bugged (or simply worded wrong), because it’s never mattered up until now. Anyone whaling on Droideka and want to get with me to test it out?


    I am excite.

    I’m about 85% sure the raid doesn’t actually work the way they say it does and it will block the solo. So I wouldn’t get excited. If you know anyone who has a 7 star Droideka and wants to test it let me know. No zetas required to find out if it works.
  • Interesting. So long as you can keep Droideka as your healthiest (non-Greivous) Droid, he's just going to keep getting marked by Greivous' leader ability, forcing opponents to attack someone with damage immunity.

    Well, potentially. In reality that'll get dispelled a lot. But it's an interesting setup.
  • @CG_SBCrumb are Droideka’s entire attacks unable to crit or is it only the True Damage part that can’t get critical damage? I’ve seen several modding guides say to put no crit chance or crit damage on it because Droideka can’t land crits but the way the kit text reads implies that’s only for the True Damage component.

    I read it the same way you did. I believe they did it this way so he couldn’t land multiple crits and get infinite turn meter under an HK lead. But the first hit should crit.
  • Shouldn't Droideka also be immune from DOTs when it has Damage Immunity up? Shouldn't be taking Damage Over Time effects while it is immune to damage.
  • You know, I really wish they didn't double the price for the droideka Marque pack, I would have totally bought it at half price as the droid itself is half decent. Didn't buy the b1 pack either, at least Drodeka shows some potential to be good.
