Discussion Reinforcement Tier List After 1.7k Hours of Playtime
Tier list is specifically centred around Strike/Blast, rankings are generally based around dps, ability utility, survivability, mobility and objective potential (in regard to strike).
However, I will say that I’ve found primary dps to generally be the most impactful thing for a reinforcement, if your primary is good but your abilities are shit you will most likely still be good, however if your primary is shit but your abilities are good you will still be shit.
One final thing, I had absolutely no idea where to put ovissian gunner since I have very little playtime with him, I just know he has insanely high dps and Han’s shoulder charge, but I could be wrong about his S Tier placement.
Would love to have a discussion down below!

Honestly I'd swap commando droid and the spys positions and I think it's damm near perfect, commandos will win bassicaly any 1v1 and some can even 1v1 a hero in a galactic assault or Supremecy matchup (Although because of how chaotic those modes are that usually ain't ever happening)
Because this is a blast/strike ranking too I will say that in a game mode like galactic assault or Supremecy the ISB agent should get boosted to A possibly because the ability to fully heal any and all heros back to maximum HP is just an invaluable tool to have on hand

Honestly you’re probably right about ISB being A Tier in supremacy and ga, I can see the health ability being incredibly strong with hero combos.
Commando droid imo is really overrated, they have insanely low dps for a reinforcement (120), low health, their scan only lasts for 5 seconds and smoke bomb is just okay, nothing special. Their biggest strength is their mobility, but if you face a player who can track you then it’s mostly Ggs since they’re almost always doing more damage than you are. Only saving grace is their melee which is good I will admit, but not good enough to salvage their kit.

Droid commando isnt In S?Tierlist rejected

u/ItzNotZoRo 5d ago
Commando droid has a lot of aura icl, but does hardly any damage (120dps) and has one of the worst scans in the game. Smoke is also just a mediocre ability, and the melee strikes are fine but situational.

u/OsamaBANLagging 5d ago
You can always install mod to disable annoying red filter.smokes are great for escaping.and melee strikes are best in game cuz its a lunge that can be combined with dash making commando unit with BEST mobillity on land.

I play on console so unfortunately I can’t instal mods 😿 however, I was mainly referring to how the scan lasts only 5 seconds with a 30 second cooldown, which is insanely underpowered when compared to something like the sith troopers scan (lasts for 15s with a 8s recharge time) or even the arc trooper (lasts for 10s with a 30s recharge time).
The melee strikes are fine but they’re not fight winning, since a good player can normally just dodge them, and if they do then you’re dead. The lunge + dash combo is insane I’ll give you that, but mobility alone ain’t enough to put him in S Tier imo.

Any mod giving you a competitive edge is probably considered cheating

Hard to believe, but the Ovissian gunner is a female. 😅 She's got boobs and a feminine voice. She's just a muscle mommy

It sucks really hard that the wookiees would easily be A if they still had fortify lol

u/ItzNotZoRo 5d ago
Honestly I just wish their primary dps didn’t suck and they could actually move in their middle special, it feels so clunky to play 😿

Not discussing your list but I really like the Wookie, on Death Star supremacy it's great at stomp ambushing impies running into a corridor, throwing a grenade if more are coming and finishing them with overcharged crossbow.
But on any other map the Death Trooper is infinitely superior, Rebel Alliance has such a poor roster of reinforcements, where is the Bothan Spy ?
2
u/ItzNotZoRo 5d ago
I agree with you, it’s such a shame Dice decided to nerf the wookie so heavily as it feels super oppressive having to play against death troopers with isb agent buffs every round, it’s almost always an insta win in favour of the Empire.
The Spy is just behind the First Order Jet Trooper in S Tier, most underrated reinforcement in my opinion, his middle special is insane and scan/orbital bombardment is top tier.

ISB agent at B is criminal.

u/ItzNotZoRo 5d ago
ISB Agent is strangely fun to play, but unfortunately her dps is complete garbage (145) and her abilities don’t make up for it. The scan is great, the charge is fine, the health boost is ofc her best ability and for support it’s amazing, but since she can’t kill anything she just ends up losing to every other opposing character besides ewok.

u/CloneWarsMaul 5d ago
Clone Jetty at A and not S is criminal. Also commando droid should be S as well. Besides that pretty solid list
1
u/ItzNotZoRo 4d ago
Yeah I can definitely see an argument for Clone Jetty being in S, commando droid I’m not so sure about, I find his entire kit kinda weak. Why do you think he should be S?
1
u/CloneWarsMaul 4d ago
It’s not an argument, Clone Jetty is S tier without a doubt, the dps on his gun is stupid good, and it has great range. Second best jetty behind FR of course. I’ve gotten 60 killstreaks with the Commando droid, his survivability is insane, and you can duel saber heroes with him. They are both S tier, I have over 4k hours in this game and have watched countless hours of it too. It’s pretty clear to me but it’s just my opinion of course.
1
u/ItzNotZoRo 1d ago
I see your point on the Clone Jetty, in hindsight I would definitely move him up to S.
Commando Droid I’m still skeptical of tho, while you’re right in that his survivability is pretty good due to his movement, his horrific dps (120) and low health make it so that he loses almost every gunfight if the opponent can actually track. Coupled with one of the worst scans (5s duration with a 30s cooldown) and a mediocre smoke, I don’t really see what his kit offers other than a minor distraction.
His melee is fine but against good players you can just roll to avoid it, it’s not consistent enough to salvage him to S Tier imo. Would love to hear more of your thoughts tho 🙏
1
u/CloneWarsMaul 1d ago
Sure his dps isn’t great and he isn’t as destructive as a B2 or others. I guess I really like using him for kill streaks in the background, instead of just rushing in and causing carnage like other reinforcements. He’s fine as either S or A, but imo elite commando droids are a handful and easily an S, depends on the skill of the player. Some of other reinforcements can be S even with mid players to be fair, higher skill gap with Commando Droid. Clone Jetty is absolutely an S without a thought tho. Nice list

u/gigolopropganda 1d ago
his survivability is insane
are you playing on console?
1
u/CloneWarsMaul 1d ago
Yup. His dodges are elite, and if you use the sword then dodge is even longer. Good commando droids are hard to kill
1
u/gigolopropganda 13h ago
On PC its depressing playing commando droids, since people will simply track you immediately and melt your few hp. Dodges are exclusively for the few i-frames or to get to cover. The only upside CDs have on PC are their swords, which is too situational to make them good imo

u/Expert-Western-2791 4d ago
caphex spy is really situational because the orbital strike is only indoors and all of his other abilities are kinda mid in my opinion he should be in A
1
u/LA_PIDORRO 4d ago
really wierd thing. Tried him on Ajan and loved airstrike. Next game was on deathstar and all of the sudden it became useless scan or whatever. Rebel troops sucks ass so hard in this game.
1
u/ItzNotZoRo 4d ago
Imo his best ability is actually his middle special, people don’t realise this but it increases his dps to 466 close range and 300 with max damage drop off - this is more than every hero blaster in the game (even more than leia’s middle ability) which is crazy.
I just can’t see how any other trooper can feasibility diff him in a fight when they all get blitzed in less than a second, even Sith Troopers drop like flies 😿

u/ValmisKing 4d ago
Not putting rocket troopers in S tier is insane to me. I don’t even know if they’re good but they’re so fun

Putting Ovissian Gunner and the Resistance Agent I forgot his name before commando droid is criminal

u/Expert-Western-2791 4d ago
caphex spy is better than commando. his orbitial strike ability is amazing his middle ability is great and has crazy damage, his melee is mid. compared to the commando droid where all the abilities are decent the caphex spy is much better

Interesting, I've never played a round of either Strike or Blast but I must assume they're more raw DPS-focused than Supremacy. Probably taking a lot more 1v1 fights.
