Hero Tier List

Thanks for posting.

I have a strange feeling Bossk is going to get nerfed in an upcoming release.

I agree DarthDFG. I think Bossk's primary weapon is going to get toned down. I would significantly increase the time it takes to charged a shot and slightly reduce the number of grenades he's able to fire while using his predator ability. A very subtle HP nerf might also be in order since as of right now he can successfully go toe to toe with Jedi.

I unlocked an played Chewbacca for about an hour and loved him.

I consistently got top damage in HvsV and by the middle of the match I had enemies focusing me even when I wasn't the target to try to mitigate the damage I was doing.

Chewy has two crowd control effects and deals massive damage with his bolt caster charged shots. These shots are explosive and have a small AoE which will melt melee heavy teams when they cluster.

His grenade stuns in a fairly large AoE. 

I feel like Chewy is just a superior version of Han Solo. His CDs are shorter. He has more health. His charge hits in AoE and knocks down more consistently. His attacks have an AoE. His grenade stuns instead of throwing people haphazardly across the map making the CC duration much easier to capitalize on. His charged shot requires almost no time on target to deal massive damage.I also believe that his single target dps is higher and the duration of the effect is longer during his overcharge ability than Han's. Oh and since his bolt caster bolts are explosive they can't be deflected. There were many sith that figured that out the hard way last night. There were several times when I was the last man standing on my team and I'd clean up the entire enemy team myself.

After a hour or so I'm a believer. I think Chewy is the premier ranged damage dealer for the light side. I plan on leaving the Jedi to other players and taking the wookie as my primary hero selection.

Updated the list.

Biggest changes are that Fett was moved up to S tier and Yoda was dropped down to A.

Boba is crazy broken with the right cards. I rank Bossk even higher because he's crazy broken with or without cards but Boba is situationally even better than Bossk with the right cards. 

He's extremely good at hunting and killing enemy players and other assets such as vehicles. Rocket Barrage with the right cards will zero any light side hero or any other non-objective target instantly with the right cards.

Yoda isn't as powerful as originally thought. People have better learned how to deal with light sabers and many have learned to not charge up Yoda's push attack by shooting into his block.

Players have learned how to use their explosives and melees against Yoda when he goes to charge his push.

The lesser heroes aren't as bad as originally thought. Bossk and Boba are the only two amazing non-force users. Force users dominate the rest of the non-force users except for Chewbacca who is a legitimate hero killer capable of taking on anyone, even Bossk and Boba, but he lacks the mobility and the raw domination outside of hero killing that Bossk and Boba have.

Even Emperor Palpatine "isn't that bad" not that he's that good either.

I thought Palp was more useful in BF1 - particularly with that heal ability.

Will be interesting to see how the list changes when people start adding more star cards...  For example, I find Luke pretty darn useful with some of the upgraded cards.

I saw someone rockin' it yesterday with Princess Leia BTW.

Yeah Leia isn't too bad particularly in Galactic Assault for objectives. She's about the only hero who can attack enemies while keeping a teammate safe to do the objective and can keep them safe from even explosive damage.

Her down fall is that her bubble stops teammates weapons and enemy light sabers and vanguard shotgun users aren't hindered by the bubble and sometimes are helped.

In hero vs villain situations I prefer more mobility and hard cc over the situational shield. But she can output a lot of damage for a short duration so she does need to be respected.

I like Luke, I think he's one of the better light side heroes for Heroes vs Villains. His card that allows your push more knock back is pretty fun. I launched a Bossk up a ramp and off a cliff yesterday, he looked like Evel Knievel!

As of right now Rey is pretty effective, but honestly she is very easy to play against. Once you get used to mind control you can easily play around the inverted controls. 

Her ability that charges forward is also very easy to play around. Just expect her to use it and dodge to the side then punish her as she uselessly goes running into a wall.

I honestly think she will be the weakest of the light saber heroes but she's effective as of right now.
