Attempted this fight on two previous occasions using different army compositions with mild success. Both times got owned during phase 3 due to the boss getting repaired for 4k+. Also suffered massive loss around the same time from machine gun fire.

Strategies employed so far include 2-3 dmg dealers consisted of 2 physical resist. units + 1 non-retaliation unit, 1 ranged + 1 LVL1 stack dealing with droids.

Here's hoping one of the master tacticians here can share some wisdom on the fight

I was about the same lvl mage as you are and on hard, when I defeated Driller, I specifically remember using only Dragon Army(red, black and green) and using fireball and fire rain, then later fire arrows(about 3k damage).

I had no trouble whatsoever, zero losses of course. Are you sure you developed your mage properly, meaning focusing on skills that increase your intellect, both in mind and magic trees?
