Driod items

[BB Shockwave]

Droids are some of the best new units in the game, making it finally usefull to go with an all-dwarf army (in Legend only Alchemists, Cannoneers and Giants were usefull from the 5 dwarf units).

I find that with enough items boosting physical resistance, you can even use your Droid Engineers to attack in melee and take hits for your team without losing one! The Guards become almost unstoppable this way. Only thing you need to watch out for are enemy heroes who cast Lightning or Ice Snake, as they will ALWAYS target the droids with those spells. Phantom is your friend in these cases.

However, I really recommend the Axe of Wind III instead of the Ice. That +1 speed really, really matters unless you have Tactics.
