How to deal with the drill mech?

[ivra]

The Troll strategy is probably the easiest...

I just made it on impossible warrior with more than one stack. The trick was to use max 4 stacks, so that there never were two of my stacks in the same row - that makes it too tempting for the driller to take out the big gun and shoot everyting on that column. Although my tank with stoneskin will manage, my poor support stack will loose around 1/4th of its size... My setup was Paladins and Knights as tanks (Stoneskin3 on both) + Inquisitors and Shamans as support. I was level 34 and had no Turn Back Time, so I needed the driller to summon some Repair Droids. Luckily it did so in the third position. I kept a small portion of the Repair Droids alive and gave them space so that they could stand in a corner and shoot (they would die immediately if they did a melee attack against any of my troops). Afther the driller was killed I could gather around the Paladins and resurrect my troops. I needed the Phantom spell also since the ressurection power of the Inquisitors and Paladins alone was not enough to recover every loss.

Conclusion:
Do not fight with more than 4 stacks in the driller fight.
