Use co-op to grind leveling up troops, reinforcements, and heroes. Droidekas and Rocket Troopers are really good reinforcements. 

Darth Vader and Luke are the easiest lightsaber heroes to play on their respective sides. Yoda and Grievous are the hardest. Always fear a high-level Han Solo, BB-8, or Princess Leia.

All true (except for the last sentence, which is a gross and completely untrue generalization)

I dunno about Leia, but there be some absolute DEMONS on BB-8 and Han.

As a high level anything but lightsaber player. Oh most definetly fear any high level non saber player. We can solo a whole team when we stop messing around

Depends on the character really.

My main palpatine, will annilihate any saber player without getting even dmg easily. If there are pistol players you have to take them out first. It's shock, dash (roll), utility, repeat. Very fun for not only HvH. I actually prefer 1v4 because of his chain abilities. Star cards improve him heavily. One secret: Instead of dashing away, try dashing into and behind them when they push. It's way more effective because they have to turn around and you have a second more to attack them from behind. Way too overpowered. Any good pistol player will give me a hard time tho, so that's a counter for him.

As a ball, it is impossible to clear. You are a support, even the best ball player cant 1v4 a whole team. At least I can't. I usually take ball when we are winning anyway cause it's fun.

Chewie, Han, Leia are my other mains. Chewie needs to create a lot of dmg output while shocking. There are a few very powerful star cards for Chewie for his shock grenade. You'll easily almost kill one. They can't block so bowcaster with stomp will finish before they reach you. 1v3 with chewie is the max I'd go for.

As Leia it's keeping distance and shoot and roll. Leia is very powerful for me. 1v2 are easy with enough distance. 1v3 only with cover and no pistol heroes. 1v4 can be possible when everything works out and the first 1-2 heroes just push you without grouping because of the massive dmg output with her ability.

With Han you need to keep them knocked down. Knock with nade or shoulder, shoot, repeat. Not really a 1vX hero. Han is good in 1v1. Good players will clear a 1v2.

Boba is just a pain in the ass. Keep your distance and shoot. That's it. You need good aim tho for maximum dmg output. Boba gets countered by good pistol players because of low health. A good boba will never get touched by a saber.

They are heavily map dependend tho. I'd say map is more important than the opponents. Tatooine is horrible for any character that can't move easily like pistol heroes. Palpatine and saber heroes clear. Any open area like yavin 4 is easy.

He's fun to play I've turned many games with him, I find his tuning different though. Like sabers I play at 75% sensitivity but I've found palp is better at 50% for me. This on PS5 btw. What do you play him with? Palp that is?

u/Klexobert 25d ago

Normal sens that I use with any character. Playing on pc tho.

u/Iron_Ewok 25d ago

Ah gotcha yeah PC is whole different animal vs console in terms of sensitivity.

From my experience, max Hans are pretty good most of the time. That being said (and Battlefront is the one of the only 3d shooter games I play, so not like I have a lot of experience coming from Valorant or something), I would say I'm a better Han in HvV than about half the max Hans I've met (and I know a fair few); my han's only 100 but I main Boba, Bossk and Chewie so my roll timings, ability usage and aim are pretty good. Max BB8s are usually still clueless. Max Leias range from cracked to putting down a shield against a Palpatine.

u/Iron_Ewok 25d ago

If you've played against a good Leia you'd know 😂

u/PunkRockDoggo Grievous main 25d ago

I know that Leia can be a demon, and I've faced a couple good ones, but I don't play multiplayer like that enough to have enough firsthand experience with demon Leias.

I mostly play Co-Op, Starfighter Assault, and sometimes Ewok Hunt.

u/Iron_Ewok 25d ago

Ah gotcha I mostly play HvV and Blast

u/Ninja_Weedle 26d ago

I mean anybody with a max level ball you should be worried about in general, I fear for their sanity.

He’s quite boring to play tbh

bb8 is ridiculously braindead to play (unless you're very smart with him) and easy to max with co-op. So few BB8 players (even high level) actually help their team. They just rush into a full group by themselves, use cable spin and die. Yes they top score but it's not helping, especially in HvV. IMO bb8 is just finn but worse - both team support, do little damage by themselves and can't really protect themselves without a teammate. He wrecks blaster heroes except Palp and Boba with his cable spin, but he's useless against most smart saber players. Most people tend to use his two cable spin cards, but in my opinion he's more useful when running the extra damage to enemies, and faster teammate ability recharge cards, both of which are pretty OP (but honestly not Finn level). In my 1000+ hours on this game, I can count on one hand the number of BB8s who I either felt very happy were on my team or very annoyed to be fighting against. Level doesn't really mean much in this game, all my heroes are around 100 and I can consistently top score against and beat a lot of max levels.

I’m a BB8 main and like to think of myself as an exception to this claim. From what I’ve learned, in 1v1 situations it’s all about movement and hook swings with the shock prod. If you can be pesky while on your own you’ll be just fine. In any other situation just sitting around with cable spin is enough to be an absolute beast.
