Battlefront 2: Heroes guide Battlefront 2 guide, tips

Last update: 28 May 2020

This chapter contains descriptions of all 14 available heroes (some of them need to be unlocked with Credits). The first seven heroes represent the Light Side and the rest comes from the Dark Side. Heroes can be used in Galactic Assault (however, they are very pricey in that mode - about 6,000-8,000 battle points) or you can play as them freely in Heroes vs Villains mode. Both modes have a restriction: only one version of a given hero can be present on a map.

Luke Skywalker

Lukes Force Push works great in open maps where you can push enemies into abyss - Battlefront 2: Heroes guide - Heroes, vehicles and support - Star Wars Battlefront 2 Game Guide
Luke's Force Push works great in open maps where you can push enemies into abyss

This hero is irreplaceable in open maps where you can push enemies into abyss. Sadly, weak force abilities make him difficult to use against other heroes. However, Luke can deal with small groups of troopers that are inside rooms. While facing an enemy hero you should start with Repulse and then use Force Push.

  1. High amount of health: 700 points,
  2. Moderate mobility,
  3. Has two push force abilities that don't deal a lot of damage.

Weapon: Lightsaber

Abilities:

  1. Force Push: Luke can push enemies back. Can be used in midair!
  2. Repulse: Luke deals damage to nearby enemies but he needs a moment to charge this attack.
  3. Rush: Luke increases his speed and leaps forward to attack. However, you won't deal a lot of damage.

Star Cards

Leia can swap her pistol with an enhanced E-11 blaster that has a great rate of fire

A rather weak heroine. She serves as more a supporter. Very weak at a close range, has almost no chances against other heroes.

Profile:

  1. Moderate amount of health: 650 points,
  2. Low mobility,
  3. Her pistol shoots with bursts (2 shots per burst) and lets you shoot 17 accurate bursts. Reload button is used for loading an explosive round that moves slowly towards its target.

Weapon: Defender Pistol

Abilities:

  1. Flash Grenade: A grenade that blinds enemies upon exploding.
  2. Rapid Fire: Switch your pistol with an enhanced E-11 blaster and use it for 30 seconds.

Han Solo

Han can shoot with great accuracy and power - Battlefront 2: Heroes guide - Heroes, vehicles and support - Star Wars Battlefront 2 Game Guide
Han can shoot with great accuracy and power

Usually, this hero works better as a support. However, if your accuracy is good and you know how to use this hero - then he can eliminate powerful enemies alone. You can lure enemies who already lost a little bit of health to a Detonite charge attached to a wall/floor. Try to lure enemies to Detonite traps. It is better to reload your weapon rather than overheating it. Don't let enemies get close to you - Han has almost no chances in melee combat.

Profile:

  1. Moderate amount of health: 600 points,
  2. Low mobility,
  3. Han has a pistol with low rate of fire that can shoot 8 rounds. His shots deal a lot of damage and have great accuracy. While shooting at enemies that are far away you should consider time required for a projectile to reach its target.

Weapon: DL-44 Blaster Pistol

Abilities:

  1. Detonite Charge: Han throws an explosive charge that can stick to a surface and can be detonated whenever you want. Deals a lot of damage and pushes enemies back.
  2. Sharpshooter: Han can fire his pistol rapidly for a few seconds, the weapon doesn't overheat, enemies move very slow (a second click deactivates this mode).
  3. Shoulder Charge: Han runs forward and knocks down a first enemy that he comes across. This move also knocks that enemy back which can also push that enemy from a map. He runs for a few seconds and the ability has a fast recharge - you can also use it for escaping.

Chewbacca

Chewbacca is the only character with a special Bowcaster - Battlefront 2: Heroes guide - Heroes, vehicles and support - Star Wars Battlefront 2 Game Guide
Chewbacca is the only character with a special Bowcaster

The hero liked by many players. He uses a Bowcaster. Can charge his shot or shoot rapidly with a scatter shot or have a more focused type of fire. Great for short and medium distance.

Profile:

  1. Moderate amount of health: 650 points,
  2. Low mobility
  3. Has a Bowcaster that can attack multiple enemies thanks to scatter shots.

Weapon: Bowcaster

Abilities:

  1. Shock Grenade: An energy grenade that can electrocute enemies and has a radius of 7 meters.
  2. Furious Bowcaster: Chewie's weapon doesn't overheat and he overcharges his Bowcaster to shoot fully-charged shots for a certain amount of time.
  3. Charge Slam: Runs towards an enemy and, when you press the ability button again, he hits the ground with his fists. This ability deals medium damage and knocks enemies off their feet.

Paralyzing and shooting in a head - thanks to this tactic you can defeat many enemies - Battlefront 2: Heroes guide - Heroes, vehicles and support - Star Wars Battlefront 2 Game Guide
Paralyzing and shooting in a head - thanks to this tactic you can defeat many enemies

Many players simply laugh at this hero. However, he isn't that weak. His Disabler is especially good - an enemy that gets in its reach (also a hero) becomes an easy target. Can also be used for stopping enemies during escape.

Profile:

  1. Moderate amount of health: 650 points,
  2. Low mobility,
  3. A very accurate pistol with a great rate of fire, 15 rounds,
  4. Scope has a night vision.

Weapon: X-8 Night Sniper

Abilities:

  1. Smoke Grenade: Sadly, this ability has low efficiency - it creates a smoke screen that can only be a hindrance to snipers or other units shooting at you from afar.
  2. Sharp Shot: Activate this ability, mark up to five enemies (a red crosshair appears above a target's head - you can't run) and press the key ability key again or shoot to unleash a quick series that deals a lot of damage to those targets (these shots can be deflected by a lightsaber).
  3. Disabler: A small device that Lando sticks to a wall or a floor. Reveals nearby enemies and points their positions to you and your allies. Press the ability key again to overcharge the device and electrocute everyone near it.

Star Cards

Smoke Grenade has a longer duration.

Disabler works for a longer period until it detonates automatically.

Disabler Growth

Disabler's area of effect growths bigger over the course of 5 seconds after deploying it.

Rey's Dash Strike is very useful but you can't stop it

One of the favorite characters, mainly because of her Mind Trick ability. Has a lightsaber that she can use for both defeating enemies and deflecting blaster shots.

Profile:

  1. High amount of health: 750 points,
  2. High mobility,
  3. A champion of PvP fights.

Weapon: Lightsaber

Abilities:

  1. Dash Strike: Rey charges with hear lightsaber and deals damage to all who stand in her way. Can knock down weaker units. This charge can't be canceled. A very useful attack.
  2. Insight: Rey senses her surroundings and reveals all nearby enemies to her (white outlines around characters, visible through walls).
  3. Mind Trick: Rey dazes and confuses nearby enemies - this effect lasts for about 5 seconds. Players within the ability's radius get their controls inverted, they can't use some abilities and can't run. Thanks to this ability you can win almost all fights.

Star Cards

Insight has an increased area of effect.

Yoda

Yoda can stop Emperors lightning, that is until he runs out of stamina - Battlefront 2: Heroes guide - Heroes, vehicles and support - Star Wars Battlefront 2 Game Guide
Yoda can stop Emperor's lightning, that is until he runs out of stamina

Yoda is small which means that he is more difficult to hit with a blaster. However, he has a very unique combat system that may not be to everyone's liking. By pressing the aiming button Yoda can block attacks but he doesn't use his lightsaber. Instead, he does that with his bare hand. This can let you charge Unleash ability but also absorb enemy attacks to shorten the ability's charge time. Yoda can also do that to attacks that weren't aimed at him. He is the best support hero (defending others from attacks, healing).

Weapon: Lightsaber

Abilities:

  1. Unleash: Yoda unleashes Force in front of him which pushes enemies back and deals them damage. Hold the aim button to charge this ability (absorbing enemy blaster shots reduces charge time).
  2. Presence: Yoda heals himself and nearby allies (additional 200 health points, can even heal more than a maximum amount of health).
  3. Dash Attack: Yoda jumps forward and swings his lightsaber to damage enemies that stand in his way. Very efficient.

Star Cards

Boba Fett

No one can fly as high as Boba Fett - Battlefront 2: Heroes guide - Heroes, vehicles and support - Star Wars Battlefront 2 Game Guide
No one can fly as high as Boba Fett

Boba's weapon shoots in bursts of 3 rounds, up to 10 until it gets overheated (a rather weak weapon). Works on short and medium distance. The most mobile character in the game thanks to his jetpack. The main strategy is to get up high to avoid enemy shots and attack them from behind. Thanks to his jetpack, Boba can perform instant dodges.

Profile:

  1. Low amount of health: 450 points.
  2. Aim button doesn't work like it does with other characters - it activates his jetpack that lets you stay in the air for 5 seconds (you can control him in midair). Thanks to that the hero gets a lot of mobility.
  3. This hero shows his full potential in open maps, he isn't suited for combat in narrow rooms and corridors.

Weapon: EE-3 Carbine Rifle

Affiliation: Bounty Hunter

Abilities:

  1. Concussion Rocket: Boba shoots a rocket that dazes enemies. Blaster Disabler can also add an extra effect of overheating target's weapon.
  2. For The Hunt: Boba Fett disappears from enemies' radars, his jetpack gets an unlimited fuel and he knows where nearby enemies are. A perfect ability for infiltrating enemies. Duration: 10 seconds.
  3. Rocket Barrage: Fett shoots small rockets (6 of them) from his wrist in a rapid succession.

 

Star Cards

Fuel Efficiency

Jetpack depletes fuel slower. This ability is useful to those who rely on Fett's mobility.

Death From Above

Receive less damage when you are using jetpack and Rocket Barrage. This card isn't recommended - it is difficult to fulfill the requirements and to receive significant damage at the same time.

Bossk

Bossk can use a scope that lets him shoot from a greater distance - Battlefront 2: Heroes guide - Heroes, vehicles and support - Star Wars Battlefront 2 Game Guide
Bossk can use a scope that lets him shoot from a greater distance

Bossk is very versatile and cunning. He uses a shotgun (8 rounds, repeater) that works on short and medium distance (2x zoom while aiming). He can use proximity mines on incoming enemies. You can hide in Dioxis clouds from enemies that use melee attacks (the gas won't hurt you).

Profile:

  1. Moderate amount of health: 600 points,
  2. Hold the jump button to leap a little bit higher,
  3. A versatile hero - works great in both small rooms and open maps that have a small or a huge number of enemies, at a short and medium distance.

Weapon: Relby V-10

Affiliation: Bounty Hunter

Abilities:

  1. Dioxis Grenade: A grenade that releases a cloud of a deadly gas. Its effect is delayed and when it starts working, it reduces health of those who stand in its wide proximity. Great for blocking a passage temporarily, e.g. while you are guarding a point. Less experienced players often won't notice this gas and will die near your grenade.
  2. Predator Instinct: Bossk gets stronger and faster, he also receives thermal vision (can see through walls) for about 10 seconds. While using this ability his weapon changes into a grenade launcher that shoots rounds that explode after 3 seconds or when they hit enemies (these explosions take about 50%+ health of regular troopers).
  3. Proximity Mines: Three sticking mines that can be detonated on demand or when someone gets closer to them. Only one set can be deployed at once (when you place another one after recharging the ability then the first one will disappear). They have a rather big delay when detonated automatically.

 

Star Cards

Spreading The Disease

Dioxis Grenade's cloud is bigger and thicker (it hurts enemies faster and grants you a better smoke screen).

Lingering Dioxis

The gas emitted by Dioxis Grenade lasts longer.

Trap Arming Speed

Proximity Mines are armed and activated faster. A recommended card - the mines' slow activation time is their main disadvantage.

Multi-Traps

You can place 5 instead of 3 Proximity Mines. Thanks to that you can deal more damage on a wider range.

Name Your Poison

Your health regenerates while you are standing in a cloud created by Dioxis Grenade. A good ability, especially when combined with Lingering Dioxis.

Darth Vader

A choked enemy can be moved over a chasm while they are still in the air - Battlefront 2: Heroes guide - Heroes, vehicles and support - Star Wars Battlefront 2 Game Guide
A choked enemy can be moved over a chasm while they are still in the air

One of the best heroes thanks to his resistance and optimized abilities. However, Vader's mobility is slightly worse than that of other heroes. The best way to attack him is to use traps (e.g. Lando's Disabler). Focused Rage lets him win almost all melee duels with other heroes.

Profile:

  1. The biggest amount of health: 900 points,
  2. Moderate mobility (Vader can't jump as high as others but he can stay in the air for a longer period),
  3. Hold the aim button to deflect blaster shots with your lightsaber (they can be deflected back to a player who was shooting at you).

Weapon: Lightsaber

Abilities:

  1. Lightsaber Throw: Vader throws his lightsaber at enemies and deals massive damage. The lightsaber can also damage enemies while it is going back to Vader's hand.
  2. Focused Rage: Darth Vader can sustain and deal more damage. This effect lasts a few seconds. Activate it if you are sure that you are about to have a PvP fight.
  3. Choke: Vader uses his iconic Force Choke ability to lift, damage and then drop his enemy. Keep pressing the attack button while your enemy is in the air to deal damage. To escape from Vader's grip, you have to keep pressing jump button. This ability doesn't deal a lot of damage, it is mainly for immobilizing enemies and making them an easy target to others. You can move your enemies while you are choking them - try to throw them off a map.

Star Cards

Fueling The Rage

Each enemy killed while Focused Rage is active extends the ability's duration.

Furious Resilience

Emperor Palpatine

Paralyze enemies to make them an easy target for you or your allies - Battlefront 2: Heroes guide - Heroes, vehicles and support - Star Wars Battlefront 2 Game Guide
Paralyze enemies to make them an easy target for you or your allies

Contrary to appearances, this is a rather weak hero. His main enemies are ranged units because he can't defend himself from them. His lightning deals rather low damage. The best way to use this attack is to shoot it while you are jumping over enemies.

Profile:

  1. Moderate amount of health: 650 points,
  2. Hold the jump button to jump higher than others. Palpatine is more mobile than the other heroes - he descends slower which means that he can stay longer in the air.
  3. Palpatine doesn't use any traditional weapons. Instead, he attacks with Force Lightning which has a short reach and deals a small amount of damage. You can increase its efficiency greatly by pressing the aim button repeatedly (Palpatine will attack with his second hand). However, this quickly depletes his stamina and will render him unable to attack.

Weapon: Force Lightning

Abilities:

  1. Chain Lightning: A burst of lightning that hits a target and then spreads on nearby enemies. Great in open maps. Long reach.
  2. Dark Aura: The Emperor charges air around him with Force which hurts and slows down everyone who gets closer to him. This ability lasts a few seconds. You should move around after activating it. This aura can also hurt enemies while you are in the air. Needs a little bit of time to be activated.
  3. Electrocute: Palpatine immobilizes enemies that are standing in front of him with lightning. His best attack.

Star Cards

Forked Lightning

Electrocute has an increased area of effect.

Prime Electrocution

Electrocute immobilizes enemies for a longer period if the ability is used on at least 3 targets.

Amplified Aura

Dark Aura deals more damage if there are 3 or more enemies within its range.

Growing Darkness

Dark Aura grows larger and larger for as long as it stays active.

Lightning Absorption

Each target that was hit with Chain Lightning heals Palpatine slightly.

Kylo Ren is mobile and skilled with his lightsaber

A well-balanced hero. He has high mobility and good abilities for PvP fights and battles with regular troopers in Galactic Assault. When you are facing other heroes, you can start with Freeze and then use Frenzy to quickly reach your enemy.

Profile:

  1. Great amount of health: 750 points,
  2. Hold the jump button to jump much higher,
  3. Kylo uses a lightsaber - attack enemies with melee attacks (2 hits are enough to kill them),
  4. Hold the aim button to deflect blaster shots with your lightsaber (they can be deflected back to a player who was shooting at you).

Weapon: Lightsaber

Abilities:

  1. Pull: Kylo Ren pulls enemies towards him. This ability has a range of a few meters. Enemies receive quiet a lot of damage and they fall on the ground.
  2. Frenzy: Kylo Ren jumps from an enemy to enemy and swings his lightsaber at them. This ability isn't always working as you though it would but its recharge time is very short. This means that you can even use it to leap towards a single enemy.
  3. Freeze: Kylo Ren paralyzes enemies that stand in front of him for about 3 seconds and makes them unable to make any moves. It doesn't deal any damage.

Spin Attack lets you quickly get behind enemy's back

Maul's main nemesis are snipers. He can't do anything to protect himself from blaster shots. Use Spin Attack when you are fighting with a marksman 1vs1. This will let you get behind enemy's back. Remember to use the aim button to perform quick and agile dodges.

Profile:

  1. High mobility, good amount of health: 700 points,
  2. Hold the jump button to jump much higher,
  3. Darth Maul uses a double-bladed lightsaber - his attacks are much faster than those of heroes who use a single-bladed lightsaber.
  4. Hold the aim button to perform an attack in a straight line.

Weapon: Double-bladed Lightsaber

Abilities:

  1. Furious Throw: Maul throws his lightsaber in a straight line which deals damage to all who stand in its way.
  2. Choke Hold: Maul chokes a few enemies who stand close to each other. After that he throws those enemies on the ground.
  3. Spin Attack: Maul performs a really fast spin with his lightsaber and eliminates everyone who stand in his way (reach: about 10 meters in a straight line).

Iden can use a similar shield to the one used by a Specialist; however, it won't protect her from lightsaber attacks

Iden is great for open maps and serves mainly as a sniper. Droid Shield lets you retreat safely when you get surprised by enemies. She can fight on short and medium distance. However, you have to watch out for her health. Despite of that she is a good hero and she can be recommended for both PvP and Galactic Assault modes.

Profile:

  1. Moderate amount of health: 550 points,
  2. Low mobility,
  3. Basic weapon: a mid-range blaster rifle with great rate of fire (30 rounds); zooming in: grenade launcher (6 rounds). Additional weapon: Pulse Cannon (ability).

Weapon: Iden's TL-50

Abilities:

  1. Stun Droid: Iden's droid can stun and deal a small amount of damage to enemies that are in front of it. Stun effect can chain on nearby targets. A good way to use it is to deploy the droid when you are hiding behind a cover.
  2. Pulse Cannon: Switch your weapon to a sniper rifle equipped with a scope for an unlimited time. Each shot requires charging - the more you charge, the better the damage. In order to shoot you have to charge your shot to at least a half. You can't sprint in Pulse Cannon mode.
  3. Droid Shield: Iden's droid creates a shield around her. It can withstand a lot of damage from blasters but it won't protect you from lightsabers.
