Should I get an R3 with 5 repair modules and 1 Combat or with 6 repair modules?The XP droid is "stealing" is of little importantce (so small compared to my damage).


What typ of damage is the different models doing. Think there is one model doing electricity damage. Which?


Also, if I have understand things correctly you can now select if the droid should do ranged or melee combat. Is that ture? If so, is it possible to slect this with no combat module?

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

Thanks for the advice.


Hehe, a LE repair sounds fun. But should have a depressed personality module to be a Marvin :-).

I have a sarcastic LE tank droid and it can be very funny sometimes when he fights.

Worshipful personality chips are a hoot in combat as well! I make all of mine with this chip.
