I got lucky enough to get soul swap on mine when I evolved it. With soul swap rune it can get its attack to 2k plus it heals even more. If they have oceanus and clone my mythril, they cant use soul swap and mine is already stronger than there cloned mythril, well depending on there oceanus Lv.

why is block better than frost armor? it's not better. It's only better situationally against creatures with bullseye, because it absorbs some of the attack (and reduces their's by a small amount)

If you put Rampart on it it'll be ridiculously hard to kill, even sac creatures would struggle to kill it with it's restoration ability.

Biggest question there is if its worth sacrificing the creatures that have rampart. That'd be a pretty awesome Drone though!

If you brought the Basilisk pack then you could use the rampart from that. I got Immunity on mine when I evolved it so I'm gonna keep mine.

Rampart on a Drone would make it ridiculous. Kind of like a Dragonlord against anything that doesn't have bullseye (or a hero skill like death curse), but even better

How about delay 4, toxicity, or soul snatch? thought about delay 3 option (spending ore just to get d4 imo not worth it), toxicity i would rather put on an anathema (still is a dream of mine)...but a good option, and would never take soul snatch off a ridge hunter ever. thnx for ideas

It might actually be worth it to slowly, occasionally spend ore towards getting d4, for use down the line, in like 8-10 months, or whenever unbound goes out of style

Bloodrage 10 from easter bunny. Just keep going for those transmutes. There's no cap and drones heal is plenty enough to cover the loss.

I'll be a bit bias on this, but will choose to share the bias because I have little to no complains about it myself.
Practically (and theoretically) speaking, a Drone is naturally a tank/support, while one may be inclined to get its ATK stackingly high as much as possible (with Soul Swap, Bloodrage, etc), it still remains that it doesn't have Bullseye to be offensibly reliable at literally all times. This being said, I want to propose and capitulate more on the defensive nature of the Drone, hereafter.
Obviously, below are decent defensive melds: - Frost Armor - Block - Delay
The basic flaw is that when facing a Bullseye creature, or a Sac Bullseye, you'll prefer Block, and for non-Bullseye you'll choose FA. You can't choose both the effects of Frost Armor and Block at the same time. Delay 3 at most, is good, but it operates rather randomly. Why randomness is a liability (when putting into consideration the Drone as not limited to a lockdown support but as a reliable tank as well) is because it does not synergizes well with its tanking/walling capabilities, it needs to "be able to stall reliably", but it won't do much if it is being relentlessly attacked by the creature it is facing off against the opposite side of the field.
Introducing... FLURRY 8
Plus the rune? 60% chance to freeze physical attackers across THREE TARGETS at most! And, it's not random targeting like Delay! Being able to freeze the creature it's facing against the other side of the field effectively gives him 2x cast of Mythril, much better momentum-giver than any Restoration or Mass Heal (assuming the tank role of the Drone, solely). It's like Drone was melded with Sweeping Blow + Frost Blade 10. Whoa! What's not to like? With Flurry, you can even relax even if you're Drone was immobilized, frozen, etc. if they can attack you, Flurry will hit them if they cannot attack you, then more better!
Sadly,
Weaknesses: - Immunity 9 Michael - Immunity 9 Angel Prime
Still, better to have weaknesses to those two than be helpless with Sac 8 Anathema, of which you'll know you have very slim chances of outlasting it unless you can lockdown/immobilize it somehow. Delay can do it (will only be better if there are 3-4 creatures and below on the field), but Flurry gives much needed precision, and actually I'm not really insinuating that it should be Sac 8 Anathema that is deciding what is the most preferable meld for Drone aside from Revive. We're all under the impression that it is "better chances" that we are somewhat aiming in here, so my personal rating would be:
TLDR: 1st) Flurry 8 2nd) Delay 3 or 4 3rd) Block/Holy shield 4th) FA (FA is last and least preferable because Sac Anathema is the meta/counter-meta nowadays)

Both flurry and delay don't do anything once opponents start to get immunity.

Sac Ana might be meta but bullseye will never make up more than half a deck.

If you had infinite ore though, FB10 would be a decent option. Even though it's kind of wasted not being on a sweeping blow crit, Drone has enough hp that it's going to get off at least one attack / chance to freeze most opponents
I still think Rampart would be the ulitmate tho.

If you really can't wait for a revive, then go recycle.
Drones take a while to get so I wouldn't try those other melds listed that might become obsolete quickly.
