a dedicated post with tips and trix to think about

Some “tips and trix” for new players on the forums, feel free to add some in the replies.

-Listen to the announcer: At the start of a match, an announcer will come on, and explain what you need to to, but in a Star Wars way. Listen to what they say.

-Don’t be afraid to die: I see lots of new players hanging back because of this, and I get it. If you’re new and unexperienced, you will want to stay alive at all costs. Just be aware that if you don’t go out and take risks in the battle, your team may not be able to win.

-Don’t be the hero: This may be confusing, due to the previous tip, but you don’t have to always be the person to win the match for your team. If you don’t make it to the objective, accept that, and try again.

-Play Extraction: Make sure to try to play Extraction/Strike, and if enough of people listen, a match may be able to actually start. Also, MEMP


-Don’t give up: If you are losing, don’t quit. You should still try to win. I’ve had some matches where my team was losing badly, but then we came out on top due to the power of persistence and friendship and blah blah blah.

  • @TRlALONI mean on Endor I was Rey (full health) and I just got destroyed by the speeder alone, I was running and hiding and stuff... dead. Maybe it was an isolated incident where it was a glitch idk.
    On the point about BB-9E, I meant just using his regular stun prod. I’m super good as him, but I just see new players never using his abilities and trying to take on a group of players with only the prod. They also never dodge. Probably should’ve been more clear.

  • @Ibmilo1Weird, I don't remember speeders being any good anymore since the update. Maybe that guy specialised himself in using them also with hardware setups, making them easier to use.

    Ah, ok. Well, the dmg upgrade for hBB-9E's main weapon helps too. I use this with shock spin damage upgrade and more hp regeneration.

    All in all, I really like using BB-9E in greater modes and I feel like many players underestimate this droid. Funniest part is yeeting people into the abyss on the First Order's dreadnought though lol.

  • The Droideka can be just as deadly for republic tanks as the Clone Commandos are for separatist tanks.

    Stop behind the tank and use the middle ability barrage of the droideka to shoot at the rear of the tank, which is a weak spot and will make the tank suffer a lot of extra damage.

    If the driver doesn't react in time, he'll be obliberated really fast.

    For maximum effectiveness, try to get as close as possible to the rear end of the tank, as the dmg output of the Droideka laser cannons drops a lot over distances.

    I just started playing the Droideka since 3 days or something and just gave this a try.

    Republic players are lucky that most people don't use the Droideka at all on the ground maps.

    Droideka are really fun, great to capture objectives in supremacy and good for long killstreaks if played right. Unfortunately you'll usually fall way back in the team scoring and have less kills overall than the other good players in your team. That's because other reinforcements allow you to make more kills in less time in the optimal case as they're not that much dependant from the right tactical deployment. Playing the Droideka is really something you're doing purely for the fun of it, even if you never die and capture one objective after another, the score won't be really grateful to you.

    Hey, at least you have to earn it, but yeah, it’s one of the best guns.

  • Hey Ya'all...

    I'm gonna add you's in the secret 4th hit of Kylo's frenzy move. Personally I don't think it's an evil "glitch" or an anomaly you can abuse in real time, where every "target" is actually moving than standing still for you to frenzy spam them from a certain distance. It's a good "trick" to know that may save your bacon and actually pretty hard to pull off or getting it right to pull off in real time.

    Hope it helps...someone!

    EDIT - if this is seen as a bad exploit...mods let me know and I'll nuke this post 👍

    @HCarbonic ATST at the upper leg joint or belly and saber tank has tubes on side. I believe they could be weak points.

    A quick tip for the Leia Organa players. Watch where you drop the squad shield. Never drop it when you are in front of other players. The result will be - you block their shots, you may kill your own team due to splash back damage/grenades bouncing back or you will give the opposition a safe zone. Many games have been lost because of improper placement & drop of the shield.

    A few tips:

    Don't jump into snowballs even on a jedi or sith as you will get killed really fast

    this is kind of obvious but seriously. Additionally don't attack when you are severely outnumbered.

    How to take out heroes/vilains:

    as a heavy in sentry mode you even heroes have to get out of the way. just make sure you have ample time to get through the pre attack delay that you have after you start holding the attack button.

    As a specialist, just make sure the hero ignores you.

    as a non-jedi make sure they can't reflect your blasts at you. It really depends on your hero.

    as a Jedi, make sure you make good use of your force abilities when they open up their attack and having allies will help as well

    In my previous post I explained how to get rid of annoying heroes

    In this post I will explain how to upgrade your characters

    play co-op missions:

    special forces are really cheap

    play story:

    will tell you the basics of the game (controls, ships etc.)

    play solo missions:

    they will introduce most of the heroes

    avoid:

    heroes vs. villains:

    you will get frustrated really fast.

    Ewok Hunt:

    at least until you get good

    Blast and strike/extraction are good challenges, and I don't believe you will get killed really fast by pros as you can't play heroes.

    (Apparently jet trooper is the bomb in that game mode. Who knew)

    Conquest takes forever (sometimes) make sure you have plenty of time
