Thus, here is my preferred mod setup for the B1 Battle Droid: To maximize his abilities and use him effectively and efficiently, I recommend the use of a set of four Offense mods and a set of two Tenacity or Health mods with as little Speed as possible from the secondary stats. The Droideka has a unique kit that is fun to use in-game. Droideka deals true damage which is described in-game as “can’t critically hit.” So if you cannot score crits why do you need CC? Our recommendations are above so I would suggest that you follow our recommendations with a heavy focus on Offense and Protection and ignore the developers here. Once again, these “advanced” mod tips from CG are general, but this one is downright wrong. In-game Mod Recommendations: Offense & Critical Chance. Speed Priority: 1/10 – Droideka is really anti-Speed, and you want even less Speed on Droideka even than his Separatist Droid teammate B2 Super Battle Droid.

Note this is NOT the same as Protection Up recovering Protection (like Kylo Ren) means you can gain back any Protection you have lost, but never exceeding your Max Protection number. Protection is a very important stat to boost because, in the case of the Droideka, his calls for him to recover Protection. Potency is not a major issue but gaining more is going to help land the Target Lock debuff from Destructive Armament. Tenacity is a focus to ensure he does not get red icons above his head which can impact his ability to be as effective. His basic, Twin Blaster Cannons, with an Omega, deals “true damage…which scales based on the difference in their Speed.” Thus, you want your Speed difference to be as great as possible to make this attack even more effective while you gain stacks of Charge to potentially one-shot your opponent. Note that Droideka is one of those characters where you actually want to completely avoid a specific stat, in this case Speed. See below for details.Īdditional Areas to Focus: Tenacity, Potency, survivability in the form of Protection and avoid Speed at all costs. Given he deals “true damage,” Critical Chance and Critical Damage are a waste, so be sure to use a 4-mod Offense set on Droideka with low or no Speed. If you’re going to be using the Separatists Droid faction extensively, Droideka needs to be a hard-hitter on your team.
