Pyro Droid

The Pyro Droid is a hostile droid that first appears in Violent Volcano.

Appearance
The Pyro Droid has an orange torso and head with a light orange limbs and head. Its face appears to be smiling with fiery eyes.

Each counterpart makes its skin darker than the previous one.

Behavior
The Pyro Droid practically has infinite aggro range, and will immediately start chasing a player.

Every second, it will make a beep sound. After three beeps, it will explode, burning players in the explosion's radius. However, the explosion's radius is around half the size of the visual explosion. It will also heal itself by a small amount.

Each counterpart decreases the amount of beeps before the explosion by 1. The 2.0 counterpart will explode after two beeps, whereas the 3.0 counterpart explodes after one.

When the Pyro Droid dies, it will explode after 1 second, similar to the Explosive modifier.

Combat Tips
Pyro Droids move slowly, but have high health and damage.

As the explosion attack damages any player too close to the droid, you must back away from the droid before it explodes. As your sword's attack speed is similar to the rate of the beeping, you can use your attacks to time your retreat. For example, against a regular Pyro Droid, you can usually lunge at it 3 times before backing away.

Ice damage is twice as powerful against Pyro Droids, so ice-based weaponry are more effective against them.
