Cryo Droid

The Cryo Droid is a hostile droid first found in Elemental Heights.

Appearance
The Cryo Droid has blue skin with a bright blue torso. Its helmet has a gradient, with a light blue color that darkens at the bottom of the helmet. Its face appears to be smiling with snowflake eyes.

Its 2.0 and 3.0 counterparts appear similar to its original variant, but the body is lighter; 2.0 has a more unsaturated body color than the regular Cryo Droid, while 3.0 is white with pale blue limbs.

Behavior
The Cryo Droid has a very long aggro range, meaning it will chase the player the moment it spawns. Cryo Droids move slowly, but have a special attack. Every second, it will emit a beep sound and icicles will appear overhead. After a certain number of beeps, all icicles will solidify and drop down, hurting any player that touches them and healing the Cryo Droid. The number of icicles, as well as how often they are dropped, depends on the type of Cryo Droid.

Cryo Droid 1.0 spawns one icicle per beep, and will drop the icicles after the third beep.

Cryo Droid 2.0 spawns two icicles per beep, and will drop the icicles after the second beep.

Cryo Droid 3.0 spawns four icicles per beep, and will drop the icicles after one beep.

The position of the icicles will vary. If there are no players near the droid, it will spawn icicles directly above it. If a player is nearby, the droid will spawn icicles above the player instead. There is a possibility of the icicles spawning behind or off-center of the player's location instead; this is more commonly seen with higher level Cryo Droids.

When the Cryo Droid is killed, any icicles they have formed will instantly solidify and drop.

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

Zoom your camera out to see where the icicles are. This allows you to avoid the icicles while still attacking the Cryo Droid.

Fire damage is twice as powerful against Cryo Droids. If the shop right before Chill Hills sells a fire-based weapon, it is usually a good idea to buy it.
