Equipment Drone

The  is a drone. Unlike most drones that cost gold to repair, an Equipment Drone is repaired by having the player give it the equipment they currently hold. The drone automatically activates the provided equipment when it sees an enemy, if its equipment is off cooldown.

Additionally, the Equipment Drone spawns with hidden items that reduce its equipment cooldown to 20.589% of the normal time, allowing it to activate its equipment almost five times more frequently than a player could.

 * Remember that the Equipment Drone does not benefit from the player's items, so giving up a damaging piece of equipment may be a loss depending on how many items the player has.

 * The Equipment Drone is a very good distraction for a mass of enemies if there are extra equipment that the player does not wish to take. Simply putting a piece of equipment on it, no matter how helpful (or unhelpful), will allow it to draw enemies' attention.
