Droid
1 build
Crowbar both spawns extra turrets and debuffs enemies to take more damage, which is perfect for Droid's scaling turrets and boss issues. With enough Engineering, the spawned turrets amplify your existing mecha army and help shred tougher targets.

Crowbar provides extra structures and a stacking damage debuff, great for holding areas around dig sites. It works especially well if you add some Engineering and pick up structure items, letting you defend excavation zones while you stand still to dig.
