The reason why Drona proved unconquerable on the 15th day of the Mahabharata war at Kurukshetra was because he used the BRAHMADANDA for the 1st time ever in his life. Brahmadanda was Brahmarishi Vashistha's best weapon and it contained the spiritual powers of the 7 greatest sages of Hinduism. As Drona had not imparted knowledge of this secret weapon to either Arjuna or Ashwattama, therefore no Pandava, Yadava or Panchala MAHA-RATHI/ATHI-RATHI could handle Drona on the 15th day of battle. Therefore the Pandavas were forced to do cheating to kill Drona.-

On the fourteenth night of the Mahabharata war, Drona was accused by King Dhritarasthra of being a traitor and fighting half-heartedly. To prove his loyalty to Dhritarasthra, Drona for the 1st time ever in the Mahabharata war invoked the BRAHMADANDA on the 15th day of war. Drona had purposely not imparted knowledge of this irresistible weapon to either Arjuna or Ashwattama. Therefore, he proved unconquerable on the 15th day of war.

Drona was always unconquerable (not just on the 15th day)
It goes with the saying that the student cannot surpass the teacher.
That's why they had to use deceit to make him kill himself.
