Strategies
Drones are the strongest enemies in flora fields excluding the dungeon boss and the occasional iron slayer here and there. It is best to stock up on strong gear usually armor from vineland and to have a sword that has been evolved at least once to fight them. Even still these enemies can land devastating to annoying combos if you just spam your attacks and nothing else. There are a few difficult solutions in countering these enemies


 * 1) The easiest and more effective solution than tanking and spamming attacks is blocking.  A successful block can stun the drone giving you an opening, but that is only if you successfully block. If you try this tactic yourself you might accidently dodge an attack while blocking which will mess up your chances significantly to land hits. At a low level drones usually deal 4-5 damage even while blocking so you're still taking considerable damage if you have low max health or are low.
 * 2) A harder and potentially higher risk solution is dodging and attacking or running away and attacking. Drones move insanely fast and have a longer range than normal bees do so it is incredibly difficult to dodge a sting. Fortunately these enemies are not as fast as smilers meaning depending on your speed you will have enough time to run away and recharge your combo main attack. The problem is timing it so that you can land an attack on the enemy which has a tad smaller range than most normal ranged swords. Great swords have a high knockback and long range but the hit speed is not fast enough to permanently stun combo them. This applies to all swords that can't one shot these enemies without the right loadout (There are exceptions you may already know).  How fast you are will also determine how many times you need to perfectly dodge an attack since if you are fast you can simply run and recharge your main attack. If you are slow it's going to be more difficult to avoid damage so you will need try your best in taking minimal damage by dodging perfectly by rolling, stalling by jumping, and blocking perfectly.
