This node unlocks the Radiant Drone, access to upgrading it via the Path of the Radiant Drone and the Path of the Elder Slayer which provides boons when facing [[Elder Behemoths]].

: ''Unlock the Drone, a Radiant infused Crystal that hovers at your side, damaging your targets and retaliating when you're injured.''

=== Path of the Radiant Drone ===
[[File:Path of the Radiant Drone Icon.png|right|128x128px]]
An automatically unlocked node when you get '''II: A Friend Forever''' this contains two paths to improve the Radiant Drone.

: ''Deal damage to enemies to charge your drone's radiant core. When you either take damage or reach ten core charges, the drone unleashes that radiant energy in a damaging blast. The more charges you store, the bigger the blast. Try not to get hit before your drone charges are maxed out!''

* [[Cascade]] orbs spawned from the Drone Utility II upgrade are the unbonused versions of the orbs.
* The drop rate for [[Cascade]] orbs from the Drone Utility II upgrade are as follows:

:: 50% Stamina, 25% Healing, 18.75% Damage and 6.25% Invulnerability

* The Drone Power II node does not stack with it's lesser version; Having Drone Power II unlocked is +100% under the listed conditions and not +150%
