Thread: Tank droid, best configuration?
Best overall tank droid is an advanced R3 with 5 autoheal and 1 combat modules.
NEVER take one with 6 autoheal modules .. it wont fight, just roll away from combat.
Yes, you can switch between ranged and melee combat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced probot has 5 autoheal modules and does not need a combat module, as it is naturally aggresive (acts as rating 1 combat module). However, with HAM at 3200 it has significantly less HAM than the 4500 HAM ADV R3.
DZ70 does not have enough modules to play in that league.
ADV LE Repair has up to 6000 HAM, but has only melee and only 3 modules, which is not enough to get you the same results as the ADV R3 (only in really short fights it is better than the R-series).And its slow. HOWEVER if you like sarcastic remarks in fighting a la Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe Marvin then get one of these with a sarcastic personality chip.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want a damage dealer (not a tank) then get a 5 combat module ADV Probot.
Rating 500 = 0.75 speed , 186 damage .... not bad
Have fun
Delos
LoL.
i've never really messed around w/ the personality chips. I'll have to do that
