Behavior

 * Sage Droids chase like any normal droid and will start chasing a player once in sight.


 * Every 4 seconds, the Sage Droid switches modes between ( Cryo Droid ) and  ( Pyro Droid ). It behaves the same as a 1.0 Pyro Droid if it's in its  state. The same happens for the  state, behaving the same as a 1.0 Cryo Droid. Additionally, there is a countdown on its torso from 3 to 1 before activating their / states' abilities.


 * If the Sage Droid dies in its state, the remaining spawned icicles will immediately drop but if it dies in its  state, its torso explodes after 1 second, similar to droids with the  Explosive  modifier.

Combat Tips

 * Due to the Sage Droids much higher to that of Pyro Droids, its  states ability lags behind it, making it much less of a threat when fighting it in a straight line, allowing you to stay much closer to it. However, you still have to be aware of the explosion, as it is not completely removed.


 * Zoom your camera out to see where the icicles are when the droid is in its state. This allows you to avoid the icicles while still attacking the Sage Droid.


 * As the icicles spawned while the Sage Droid is in its state damages any player it touches, don't walk/stay underneath the icicles. And since the  swords  lunging speed is similar to the rate of the beeping, you can use your attacks to time your retreat as you can normally hit it 3 times before retreating.


 * Do not instantly collect the Sage Droids the moment it dies since the torso might explode/icicles which haven't yet been activated may fall down causing you to get hurt and always retreat unless you are positive there are no hazards spawned by the droid that may get you.


 * Sage Droid's elemental weakness changes according to its mode. Use this to your advantage by using a weapon if it's in its  state. Otherwise, use an  weapon. However, in its unswitched state, it has no recorded weakness.
 * If the shop  right before Elemental Heights sells an / weapon, it is usually a good idea to buy it. For example, you can use the  Obsidian Crossbow  if you have bought it.

Trivia

 * This is the only droid to have a  and an  weakness, however this is for short periods and never at the same time.
 * Further more, you can use the Fire Noodles  and the  Ice-Cream  on a Sage Droid to get the heal, max hp and strength, but the Sage Droid has to be in either the Pyro or Cryo state depending on which item you are using.


 * Sage Droids are one of very few droids to have 2 counterparts. Its counterparts are Cryo Droid and Pyro Droid. Think of Sage Droids as a "normal" or "fusion" counterpart to the Pyro Droids and Cryo Droids.
