The Hoarder

Overview
The Hoarder is one of the six Neo Droid bosses fought in Droids HQ. He uses a sword and a multitude of different items to his advantage.

Appearance
The Hoarder is colored similarly to a Hunter Droid with a hood, mask, night vision goggles, and swordpack. Additionally, he wields a sword, which looks similar to the Scaling Sword.

Behavior
The fight with the Hoarder will start out with the boss attacking you with a sword. After dealing enough damage, The Hoarder will try to heal using crude healing items and will also use items that boosts its stats. He also occasionally summons Spawners.

Whenever the Hoarder equips his sword, he gains a short temporary forcefield.

Throughout the battle, The Hoarder will pull out and use one of the following items.

Strategy

 * Keep on damaging the Hoarder, as he will begin to use Honeycomb as healing when his HP gets low enough, which will halve his, allowing you to kill him more easily.
 * Circling the Hoarder counterclockwise or to your right will help you avoid most of the damage. If you have a high, like 20, you can avoid all the damage.
 * When a Spawner enters the battlefield, try to damage it to limit the spawned droids. If you have any teammates, one person can fight the Hoarder while the others focus on the Spawners.
 * This may be hard to do, as the Spawners are spawned in acid.
 * The Hoarder will attempt to get closer to you when he pulls out a Body Swapper. Don't run away because he'll do it multiple times.
 * You can try to use a True Dragon Sword's increased range to avoid damage, but with a drawback of reduced damage even if you use a gemstone.
 * Do not sword flick if you want to avoid damage from this boss.
 * It is recommended you get Piercing Blade to deal damage to him while he has a forcefield.
