How Droid plays
Damage removes materials instead of HP, and the Droid dies when materials reach zero. Every material you spend in the shop therefore lowers your health for the next wave: entering a shop with 200 materials and spending 150 leaves 50 to absorb hits.
Levelling up gives no stat upgrade. Each level gives +1 Mecha Part and +5% enemy damage, and the Droid gains +1 Evolution at the end of every wave. It can only evolve toward Mecha, so Mecha Parts and mechanizing weapons replace level-up stats.
Its shops leave out 44 items, mostly healing, regeneration and life-steal items such as Medikit, Cake, Fairy and Bat.
Winning unlocks Failsafe Core, which gives any character the same material-as-HP rule as a Legendary item.
