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.

Its 2.0 and 3.0 counterparts appear similar to its original variant, but the body is darker; 2.0 has bolder body colors than the Pyro Droid 1.0, while 3.0 is darker than 2.0.

Behavior
The Pyro Droid has a very long aggro range, meaning it will chase the player the moment it spawns. Pyro Droids move slowly, but have a special attack. Every second, it will emit a beep sound. After a certain number of beeps, the Pyro Droid explodes, setting nearby players on fire and burning them for high damage. The explosion heals the Pyro Droid as well. How often it explodes depends on the level of the droid.

Pyro Droid 1.0 explodes after every third beep. (4 seconds interval per explosion)

Pyro Droid 2.0 explodes after every second beep. (3 seconds interval per explosion)

Pyro Droid 3.0 explodes after every beep. (2 seconds interval per explosion)

When the Pyro Droid is killed, it will explode one second later.

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.
