Supremacy | Game modes Star Wars: Battlefront Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
In this mode, the Rebel and the Empire are fighting for control of five key points placed across the whole map. Up to 40 players can play together. The maps in supremacy mode are large and you can use various ground and flying vehicles.
Mode rules
In supremacy mode, two teams are fighting over five points positioned in large distance from each other. Each team starts the game having two points under control. The last point is neutral.
During any moment of the game, you can be taking over up to two of five points. The one that was taken as the last and the next one of the team that has lost a point. Because of that, the teams are always having one active unit each. When one of the teams will take over both positions, the battle will move to the next points.
From the above picture that shows taken flags you can read that the red team has taken over the middle point. At this point, unit number 2 and 3 can be taken over. The point number two is protected by the blue team from the red team. The flag three is protected by the red team from the blue team.
If the blue team would reclaim the flag number 3, the whole battlefield would move towards the red base.
When a flag is taken over, one minute is added to the basic time. It means that if the match is very fierce, it can take longer than usually.
The battle is won by the team that will take over all five flags or will have 3 or 4 points under control when the time ends. By default, the time is set at 10 minutes.
Taking over points
In order to take over points, you must simply find yourself in its reach. Taking over a point goes faster when more allies are in its reach. However, if there are enemies in its reach, then it goes slower.
For example, if two Rebels are taking over a point, but an Empire player will walk into its territory, the Rebels will be taking over the point with the same speed as if only one Rebel player was in the territory. Taking over a point by a single player takes one minute. Due to that, trying to obtain a point alone rarely ends in success.
Points controlled by enemy are marked in red, the blue icons represent the flags obtained by your team. While taking over, the icon slowly fills with adequate color. When taking over, a number appears on the icon as well. The number represents how many players from the team are taking the flag over. If an equal number of players from both teams can be found in the area of a flag, the point isn't taken over by any team.
Advices
Defense
Most of the players in supremacy are eager to obtain enemy points. However, the defense of your unit is just as important. Because of that, position yourself near the protected territory and wait for enemies to attack it. Not only will it let you greatly help your team in victory, but you will also improve your statistics, as it is always easier to defend than attack.
Remaining on the point territory
In a situation when you and your team are taking over a point, it is a good idea to have as many players taking over a point as possible. However, immediately after claiming a territory you should split, because a large group of targets in one place can be easily eliminated by an AT-ST or grenades.
Individual score
Many vehicles and upgrades are available for players in supremacy mode. They are very powerful, making it very hard to obtain a nice score when playing only as infantry. If you play as one of the heroes or AT-ST, you can obtain long kill streaks. Due to that, if the kill/death ratio is important to you, try to play with AT-ST or as hero.
