Tactics

Animated Armour can be disabled by a Sussur Bloom, whether it is placed near them or held by a nearby character - the amount of flowers in the Underdark are enough to disable all the ranged enemies in the Bernard encounter.
Due to their low Wisdom they're subsceptible to WIS Saving Throw spells and effects like Command - since they're constructs some spells like Hold Person do not apply to them.
Their weight is pretty low at 40kg/80lb - a character with a minimum of 17 strength can pick up and throw them. In the Arcane Tower and Grymforge enocunters they can be thrown into the surrounding chasms to instantly take them out.
