Mythic Droids are the newest and most powerful tier to arrive in Star Wars Droid Tycoon, the Fortnite creative mode that has pulled thousands of players into building their own droid empire on Tatooine. Sitting one step above Legendary, these eleven Mythic Droids deliver some of the strongest passive perks and highest credit output in the entire game, and for many players they have quietly replaced Legendaries as the most desirable droids you can craft. In this guide we break down all eleven Mythic Droids, what each one does, and how you can add them to your own Droidex.
What Are Mythic Droids in Droid Tycoon?
Droid Tycoon sorts every droid into rarity tiers, climbing from Common and Rare through Epic and Legendary, with Mythic now sitting at the very top. As with other droids, each Mythic comes in Default, Gold, Diamond, Rainbow and Beskar variants, and every step up that ladder multiplies the credits-per-second the droid generates while it works. What makes the Mythic tier special is the combination of high base income and powerful equip perks: rather than only producing credits, these droids hand you account-wide bonuses such as faster crafting, extra pickaxe levels and bonus health.
The eleven Mythics are spread across the three droid classes in the game. Worker droids focus on production and crafting speed, Astromech droids lean into utility and pickaxe perks, and Battle droids are built for survivability with big health boosts. Below we go through each class and the Mythics that belong to it.
Worker Mythic Droids
Worker Mythics are all about output. Their shared equip perk is a 30% Droid Crafting Speed boost, which dramatically shortens the time it takes to build and roll new droids, making them the engine room of any serious Droid Tycoon empire.
RIC-1200
RIC-1200 is singled out in the video as one of the best non-Iconic Mythics you can own. It is a Worker droid that grants 30% Droid Crafting Speed when equipped, so it pays off whether you want it earning credits on the work floor or speeding up your crafting queue. If you are picking up your first Mythic, this rolling worker is a strong place to start.
LEP
LEP is the second Worker Mythic, easily recognised by its tall, gangly servant-droid silhouette. Like the rest of its class, it carries the 30% Droid Crafting Speed perk, giving you another option to fill out your worker line-up while keeping that all-important crafting bonus active.
LOADLIFTER
LOADLIFTER is the heavy-duty Worker Mythic and one of the standout earners. In the video it is shown selling for 300 million credits at the Jawa Sandcrawler shop while producing a hefty 7.20k credits per second in its Default variant. That price tag puts it firmly in late-game territory, but the income it generates makes it a worthwhile long-term goal for dedicated grinders.
Astromech Mythic Droids
Astromech Mythics are the utility specialists of the group. Their shared equip perk is +5 Pickaxe Level, which boosts how quickly you can harvest resources out in the world, an underrated bonus that speeds up almost everything you do outside the workshop.
TRI-TEK
TRI-TEK is a striking red, tank-treaded Astromech and another droid the video flags as a best-in-class Mythic. It provides +5 Pickaxe Level when equipped, and its rugged, armoured look makes it one of the more visually distinctive droids in the entire Droidex.
CYCLENS
CYCLENS is a classic dome-topped Astromech in the mould of the iconic R-series droids, and it shares the +5 Pickaxe Level perk with the rest of its class. It is a great pick-up for players who spend a lot of time mining and exploring rather than camping the workshop.
BB-8
BB-8 rounds out the Astromech Mythics and is widely regarded as the best droid for farming Upgrade Chips. The video recommends equipping BB-8 as your companion before heading into the limited-time event, where it helps you rack up the chips you need to upgrade your other droids to higher variants. If you can get hold of the rolling orange-and-white sphere, it quickly becomes one of the most useful tools in your collection.
Battle Mythic Droids
Battle Mythics are built for staying power. Their shared equip perk is +100 Max Health, a significant survivability boost that is especially handy when you are fighting through waves of Stormtroopers during the Sandcrawler event. For players who like to take the combat side of Droid Tycoon seriously, these are the droids to chase.
KX
KX is a tall, menacing security-style Battle droid that delivers +100 Max Health from level one. The video calls out how strong that early survivability is, making KX a reliable companion for anyone pushing through the tougher combat encounters in the mode.
IG
IG is the assassin-droid Battle Mythic, modelled on the lanky, multi-armed IG-series bounty hunters from the Star Wars universe. It also provides +100 Max Health, and the video notes its bubble-style utility makes it a favourite for surviving event waves. Alongside KX, it gives Battle-focused players two strong tanky options to build around.
The Remaining Mythics and the Iconic Comparison
Beyond the headline names above, the full roster of eleven Mythics fills out the rest of the worker, astromech and battle slots in the Droidex, each one carrying the same class perk as its siblings. The video is clear about how to think about them: Iconic droids are still the very best things you can own, but if you do not have any Iconics yet, the Mythics are the next best tier and a huge upgrade over Legendaries. As the creator puts it, no longer is the Legendary the best thing you can have.
How to Get Mythic Droids
Mythic Droids are not cheap, and the video stresses how much of a grind they can be. Prices at the Jawa Sandcrawler shop run high, with the creator estimating that Mythics vary between roughly 300 million and 500 million credits, and LOADLIFTER alone is shown at the 300 million mark. The droids appear on the rotating shop screens at the Sandcrawler, so part of the challenge is simply spotting the one you want and having the credits ready when it shows up.
The most efficient way to fund those purchases is to lean into the current limited-time event. The video points out that the active event is the best time to farm both credits and Upgrade Chips, with the First Order Outpost data-recovery objective and the Stormtrooper waves offering a steady stream of rewards. Equipping BB-8 as your companion boosts your Upgrade Chip yield to around four per tick, so the recommended loop is to farm the event with BB-8 active, bank your credits, then buy the Mythics as they rotate into the Sandcrawler shop.
Final Thoughts
The arrival of Mythic Droids reshuffles the entire end-game of Star Wars Droid Tycoon. With eleven new droids spread across the Worker, Astromech and Battle classes, each bringing a meaningful equip perk on top of strong credit income, there is now a clear new goal for players who had already maxed out their Legendaries. Standouts like RIC-1200, TRI-TEK, LOADLIFTER and BB-8 are the ones to prioritise, but every Mythic is a step up the ladder. Lean into the event, farm with BB-8, and start saving those credits, because the Mythic tier is well worth the grind.
