Maybe it's just me but I always do much better in this mode with the Blaster Heros. I understand each Saber hero is different and You try to take it tactically, that is to say choose a hero for the map and with Jedi not run into a horde of enemies etc but even so The Enemy AI feels like they only target you at times and they can spawn and swarm you from behind from out of no where it seems and you can't block all day and from every direction. IDK something feels off so I am curious to what others think or if they have any tips.

@Nocturnalnyt Choose the right star cards and playing style to match you. Some heroes match playing styles better than others. The best bet is to single out enemies or small groups (3-5) and it should be easier.

If you run into a crowd of AI enemies with a saber user you’re gonna have a bad time. The AI has pinpoint accuracy and most of the time will single you out. Try to limit yourself to no more than 3 enemies at a time with saber users.

@Nocturnalnyt Me too, that’s why I just stick to blaster heroes when I get the chance. I find that I die so much faster as a saber hero. From what I have seen, rushing with a saber in COOP may not always work out.

I especially find it difficult because the ai go full on mike tyson and just melee the crap out of lightsaber heroes it annoying as hell

The AI get their aimbot turned up to 1000 when you get within melee range, so sabers can be harder, but they also have a block to compensate.

Does anyone else find it more difficult to use the Saber Heros in CO-OP ?

I do target small groups and as I said don't rush into large ones. The A.I aim is perfect and they can have perfect dodging too.
Besides open maps the problem is where the A.I swarms an area including or especially on the last phase areas and they are quite literally aimbots. With a Blaster you can stand back and take them out one at a time (and quite quickly) but with a Jedi you need to defend until you get an opening which makes me think that in some ways Jedi are more support characters as the times I done very well are when backed up by others. This may sound obvious but it makes jedi feel very limited and to some degree weak and not quite so heroic. Just a reminder that I am talking about CO-OP and its still a good mode to level characters.
Actually one Blaster hero I don't do as well with in CO-OP is Boba Fett. He is more difficult to get used to in general and his abilities are ok but his blaster feels weak but mostly It feels like the A.I are always knocking me out of the air even from far. (Just for the record I know its not been a fuel issue lol).

@Nocturnalnyt I mean...the Jedi were supposed to be peace keepers, not soldiers (can’t remember who in the clone wars said that). If there’s a crowd near an objective use the force (literally) to pull enemies away or push them out from the group, and tackle them from there. Sort of spiral your way inwards. Using repulse or heroic might jump in the center and quickly activate it, then slice the weakest while they’re down, take the strongest when they get back up because then there’s a lot less shooting at you instead of a big reinforcement: don’t aim for the best of them, aim for the weakest so that there are less shooting you overall.

Yeah it is actually way easier to be a blaster hero in coop mostly because you don’t have to be as tactical and you can just mow down the bots without worry. When your standing behind your friendly bots then the enemy bots almost never shoot back at you.
@zabrak1234 they actually fixed that recently, at least in coop. The bots almost never get a melee off anymore. I know it was a lot worse in IA but I haven’t played that mode a whole lot so I’m not sure if they fixed that one

@HCarbonic Thanks for that and I do use the Force where I can. When there are so many enemys like in the cave on Ajan Kloss, heck the whole of that level even Jedi seem like the worst choice Hero. I even do better with the Droids. I guess the point I am trying to make is that for all they are good at, in CO-OP something feels off with how the enemy A.I hammers down on you when you are a Jedi. They really do go Order 66 lol.

I usually pick Blaster heroes over Lightsaber heroes, but I've seen some decent players play well on sabers. But yeah COOP makes me hate playing sabers heroes, since you have to play so passively.
