Heavy vs Droideka (Destroyer Droid)
A narrow tactical answer for players asking whether Heavy can handle Droideka (Destroyer Droid) safely.
Threat STank / area damageGood FitShort Answer
Heavy can contribute strongly against Droideka (Destroyer Droid). The key is to respect the enemy resistance: Ranged damage while shielded —most shots are wasted on a full shield.
AP Plan
- Use the first action to improve position, strip cover, reveal, or prepare the shot.
- Commit damage only after the weak point is available: Ion effects and sustained fire collapse the deflector shield; it's fragile underneath.
- Keep one defensive or extraction option if the kill is not guaranteed.
Best Support
Pair Heavy with Commander AP refresh, Medic sustain, or a frontline bodyguard when the enemy can punish missed shots or exposed positioning.
