Shield Drone Full
Mechanics are able to build all sorts of interesting drones, one of which has a shield mounted at its front! The shield drone allows for a Tradesmaster to protect itself in battle from behind and from sneak attacks. While it’s able to hover above the ground and move on its own, be warned that after the drone moves more than 15 cells away from its master, the drone will lose reception and will drop to the ground as it shuts down. A trademaster (or master if it has the reactivation switch) can reactivate their drone by using their Trigger Action when they get in range.
