I built an automaton but I don't know how to deploy it........ Or the spider........ If someone knows please tell me I can tell you how well the Automaton does in combat
you use it exactly as you use potions! put it in your quick use boxes and throw him to the ground.(same with the aranchid) the automaton is a good fighter but a little bit slow.i used him for some time but then i got bored of him and soled him.(3000+ gold)
Move your automoton from your backpack to one of the quick use slots. Then deploy by clicking/dragging and tossing them where you wish into your immediate environment. To pick them up for repairs or travel, click on your automoton then click again to pick it up (provided you have room in your backpack).
