Challenge Can General Grievous and 500 droids take over Westeros?

General Grievous spawns in Westeros with an army of 500 droids during the events of season 1 of Game of Thrones. His objective is to take the Iron Throne and destroy all who are in his way of completing said objective

For the sake of the prompt, the use the following: - Grievous himself has all canon feats, no legends - His army consists of 250 super battle droids and 250 destroyer droids - He does not need to necessarily kill everyone and everything in order to achieve his objectives but must eliminate all threats - Westeros will not unite against him entirely, but some alliances could form against him - Grievous and his droids must be defeated, for the sake of the prompt they have unlimited charge/power

The SBDs and Droidekas are made with cortosis, which redirects energy and heat making them light saber-resistant. Light sabers are hotter than the sun. While dragonfire is hot, I don't think it's THAT hot.

"Saber resistant" lmao we see SBDs get sliced up by the dozens.

And only a single variant of the SBD was cortosis

I remember that variant. I remember they were trying to make cortosis Clone armor and Battle droids.

Imagine if both sides had that lol

Even then, the droid still has a vulnerable optical sensor which has been exploited by clone snipers as a weakness on normal B2s

Even if they're made of cortosis, their innards aren't and I'd guess that dragonfire would be sufficient to melt them, but yeah, blasters would keep it from being an issue.
