|                                Introduction                                 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Welcome to my Star Wars: Battlefront II FAQ. Thanks to my new computer from the
Christmas of 2006, I now have a PC that supports new games. This is great, as
now I can write for even more games. Battlefront II has been a favourite of mine
since it came out; my friend had it for PS2. We wasted hours away on it, as
well as on it's predecessor, Star Wars Battlefront. Battlefront is a sort of
Battlefield: 1942 meets Clone Wars sort of game. You choose a side in the
fight, pick a unit, then a command post and battle away. The goal is to capture
the opponent's command posts while defending yours. You can also eliminate the
enemy forces to bring the reinforcement count down. Once you hold all command
posts for twenty seconds, or the enemies are all eliminated, you achieve
victory. Failure to achieve this results in a defeat.
BattleFront II brought what the first one lacked; a real story mode. In the
mode, you play as the 501st Division of the Republic army, the most elite clone
division. You have to liberate planets, and eventually follow the story of
Revenge of the Sith and turn on the Jedi, forming the early Empire. You then
fight to dominate the galaxy. Galactic Conquest mode also returns and with a
major facelift. You now get to purchase fleets to invade planets. You also must
purchase upgrades and new unit types. Several new maps from locations in Revenge
of the Sith are in this game. However, some gems have been removed. Such as
Bespin: Platforms, it was possibly the best map in both games combined. Graphics
have been toned down to improve framerates. We have new modes, and the ability
to play as a Hero, not just get one in the level. We also get to play in space,
which is a great idea… but it came out fairly mediocre.
I had a ton of Gift Cards from Christmas relatives, which I put towards this
game, which was preowned at EB Games. 19.99. A great deal. This guide contains
the ideal strategies used to be successful at this game. If you have any other
strategies, tips, hints or anything helpful to give to the readers, please
send it to me over email. You can read up on the Campaign Walkthrough in the
Rise of the Empire section. If you are looking for strategies for single maps
on Instant Action, please take a gander at the Instant Action section. Enjoy
reading, and may the Force be with you.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
a.) Republic Units
-------------
Clone Trooper
-------------
Clone Troopers are the standard infantry for the republic army. They are based
genetically on Jango Fett. The Clones were ordered from the Kaminoans by the
Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, ten years before he came into power. He ordered
it anonymously, as he did not want to reveal that the troops would betray the
Jedi in his master plan. The Clones are equipped for most situations. They
have a Blaster Rifle for power, and range. They have a Blaster Pistol for
close range combat, and a backup weapon for when the rifle is out of ammo. They
carry several Thermal Detonators to take out enemies, and damage vehicles. This
would be one of the best choice for everyone to choose. Beginners, intermediate
and expert.
EQUIPMENT:
Primary Weapon(s): Blaster Rifle
Blaster Pistol
Secondary Weapon(s): Thermal Detonators
-------------
Heavy Trooper
-------------
Heavy Troopers provide artillery for the Republic army. They can be used on
both offense, and defence effectively. The Rocket Launcher can be used to take
down a vehicle that is pinning you down. The mines can be placed in openings to
an area to make traps. For example: Putting them in between the openings to the
Oil Refinery on Kashyyyk. I once played an online game on Jabba's Palace, where
I was Darth Maul. A Human player dropped mines as I Force Sprinted towards him,
blowing me, him and his teammate up. The moral of the story? Mines can stop
Jedi, at a sacrifice. Experts will be able to use the unit effectively. The
Heavy Trooper also comes with a Blaster Pistol, which is used in combat in
place of the Rocket Launcher. Thermal Detonators can make short work of the
ground troops, and help finish off Vehicles. I wouldn't recommend beginners to
this position unless you are in single player mode. Online, intermediate users
can use this to clear large groups of enemies. I myself have practiced with them
and don't mean to brag, but am quite skilled with one. Mines are also the best
vehicle killing too, they 1 hit kill small assault vehicles and will damage the
heck out of AT-ATs and other similar vehicles.
EQUIPMENT:
Primary Weapon(s): Rocket Launcher
Blaster Pistol
Secondary Weapon(s): Thermal Detonators
Mines
------------------
Clone Sharpshooter
------------------
Clone Sharpshooters are Snipers. Simple as that. They shouldn't be used by
beginners, unless you have some experience in other games at picking off
enemies with head shots. The Sniper Rifle is very powerful, and can destroy a
Droideka shield in a few shots. However, there are only 7 shots in each clip
of ammo. Which is bad, so you should reload whenever you have a second or two.
The Sniper also has a Blaster Pistol, which can replace the Sniper Rifle
in close quarters. The Sniper Rifle is terrible at point blank range, unless
you practice hard and train. Throwing a grenade will bring up the target,
giving you time to aim a little at the enemy before shooting. The good
news for snipers is that you can now deploy an Auto Turret nearby, so you can
have some defence against units that think it is their day to seek glory by
getting you. You also have some Thermal Detonators, which can be thrown in such
a way that they all run right where you want them, as well as provide some
cover as you reload. Keep it close to ammo droids, you will be needing to get
ammunition more often than you think. This unit can be deadly on levels such as
Kamino. I can rack up a good 30-40 kills in one life before someone notices me.
EQUIPMENT:
Primary Weapon(s): Sniper Rifle
Blaster Pistol
Secondary Weapon(s): Thermal Detonators
Auto Turret
--------------
Clone Engineer
--------------
Clone Engineers are the in-battle version of medics. They can repair your
vehicle, heal you, and replenish your ammo. They can really repair anything
that has a small enough health range. They also can slice into enemy vehicles.
Pulling out a fusion cutter and going to an occupied enemy vehicle will cause
a meter to appear that says "Slicing XX%". It goes up 4-6% every third of a
second or so. (Third, Second, where's first?). Once it reaches 100% the enemy
is out of the vehicle, allowing you to hijack it. The engineer is also equipped
with a handy dandy shotgun. The shotgun is not that great of a weapon in my
opinion, but can be very effective in levels such as Tantive IV. You see, the
shotgun, as in real life, spreads out after you shoot it. This can take care of
enemies in a hallway in a shot or two. The unfortunate part of it is that the
Shotgun has few shots in each clip, and it takes a while to be able to shoot
again. It's still okay, but I prefer a blaster rifle in open levels.
The Engineer also has a Dispenser of Health and Ammo, which you can drop to
other units and yourself. Which can be helpful when you don't have time to
repair a droid. Detpacks are also included in the package, for destruction of
targets and enemy heroes. Expert users should be this class, as Detpacks are
the most deadly weapon in the game, if used properly. If you hold down the
Secondary Fire button, it takes out a detpack but doesn't throw it. If you
release it, and run and aim up, it tosses a detpack quite farther than normal.
Detonating after release makes short work of enemies. I can rack up about 40
kills and stay ahead of the pack in a no bot Tantive Level.
EQUIPMENT:
Primary Weapon(s): Shotgun
Fusion Cutter
Secondary Weapon(s): Detpack
Dispenser Health and Ammo
---------------
Clone Commander
---------------
Clone Commanders are the Purple Clones that you see on Mygeeto in Revenge of
the Sith. They are powerful warriors, and great scouts. The Commander carries a
Recon Droid, which you can remotely control. The Recon Droid can self destruct
and fire laser cannons to shake the enemy up before an assault. It can also be
stopped from blowing if shot while charging up for the blast. The Rally skill
increases the adjacent unit's defense, allowing for more durability. They also
come with a Chain Gun, one of the best guns in the game. The Chain Gun takes a
second to fire, but then fires rapidly like a machine gun. This can mow down
enemy troops in seconds. It can fire for a long time before overheating. This
would probably be the second unit of choice. Anyone can use this simple class.
The Clone Commander also carries a Blaster Pistol, which overheats a lot faster
than the chain gun, and is less powerful. But it doesn't have the lag before it
fires. Clone Commanders require 8 points in battle for you to use this
character. I'd recommend it for spread out situations with fewer enemies as
opposed to large amounts of units. The more units, the more can shoot him, as
it takes too long to fire at a group.
EQUIPMENT:
Primary Weapon(s): Chain Gun
Blaster Pistol
Secondary Weapon(s): Rally (Defense Increase)
Recon Droid
-----------
Jet Trooper
-----------
The Jet Trooper is the most mobile unit for the Republic. The Jet Trooper is a
combination of artillery and infantry. The EMP Launcher is a weapon especially
effective against Droideka shields. It also can damage enemy vehicles. The
Commando Pistol on back up is slightly more powerful than a Blaster Pistol, but
fires slower, and overheats quicker. The jetpack on the back of the troop gives
him an edge over the enemy, as he can quickly traverse the battlefield,
capturing command posts before enemies. They can also "snipe" enemies with the
Commando Pistol by flying somewhere unheard of and camping out. Thermal
Detonators can provide cover as you make your airborne escape. Because you
don't have any mines to worry about, the Jet Trooper can be used by beginners
too. If you can get 10 points, that is. The Jet Trooper's EMP launcher can also
fire several times before reloading, making it a good weapon to use. It may be
weaker, but can move faster.
EQUIPMENT:
Primary Weapon(s): EMP Launcher
Commando Pistol
Secondary Weapon(s): Thermal Detonators
-----------
Clone Pilot
-----------
The Pilot class is a special class. It comes with a pistol for close range
combat, and Time Bombs to blow up enemy innards. This unit isn't that good for
taking out enemies, but it awesome at taking out innards of a ship in space.
It also has the special ability of healing spacecraft as you fly. Helping you
recover quicker. Teaming up a Marine and a Pilot will be most effective. The
Time Bomb can take out any innard of the ship in 3 bombs, 2 for the turret
control. This means that you enter an area, blow things up, reload your ammo
and continue on. The Fusioncutter will let you repair ship systems and fix the
droids for ammo and health.
EQUIPMENT:
Primary Weapon(s): Commando Pistol
Fusion Cutter
Secondary Weapon(s): Time Bomb
------------
Clone Marine
------------
The Marine is sort of the combat unit in space. The Marine has a Blaster Rifle,
much better than that weak old pistol the Pilot has. It will be a dominant
presence in the hangar, as those pilots won't fare well. It also has a Rocket
Launcher, to rack up some damage on those ship weakpoints. They aren't that good
at the job though, which is why they should be escorting the Pilots. The
grenades are death to most enemies coming in doors, and the rifle can finish off
those pesky turrets.
Primary Weapon(s): Blaster Rifle
Rocket Launcher
Secondary Weapon(s): Thermal Detonators
-------
b.) Confederacy of Independant System (CIS) Units
------------------
Super Battle Droid
------------------
The Super Battle Droid is a slightly different version of the Clone Trooper. It
has a Wrist Blaster instead of a Blaster Rifle. He also has a Tri-Blaster to
use on backup. It fires three shots in a triangle shape at the enemy. Great for
headshots. They have a rather slow rate of fire overall, but will damage more.
The Wrist Rockets are a substitute for the grenades. They are better for
removing single units, but are bad for enemy groups. The opposite of the other
grenades. The head on this unit is sort of built into the bottom and harder to
see, so snipers might clip the shoulder instead.
EQUIPMENT:
Primary Weapons(s): Wrist Blaster
Tri-Shot
Secondary Weapon(s): Wrist Rockets
-------------
Assault Droid
-------------
Assault Droids provide artillery for the Separatist army. They can be used on
both offense, and defence effectively. The Rocket Launcher can be used to take
down a vehicle that is pinning you down. The mines can be placed in openings to
an area to make traps. For example: Putting them in between the openings to the
Oil Refinery on Kashyyyk. I once played an online game on Jabba's Palace, where
I was Darth Maul. A Human player dropped mines as I Force Sprinted towards him,
blowing me, him and his teammate up. The moral of the story? Mines can stop

--------------
Assassin Droids are Snipers. Simple as that. They shouldn't be used by
beginners, unless you have some experience in other games at picking off
enemies with head shots. The Sniper Rifle is very powerful, and can destroy a
Droideka shield in a few shots. However, there are only 7 shots in each clip
of ammo. Which is bad, so you should reload whenever you have a second or two.

that has a small enough health range. They also can slice into enemy vehicles.

the most deadly weapon in the game, if used properly. If you hold down the

----------
Magnaguard
----------
The Magnaguards are the only fully powered droids that have the ability to
think. They are also the cheapest units in the game, in my opinion. They come
with a Bulldog RLR. Which is like a mini rocket launcher that will fire several
rockets, that curve and will target enemies and usually 1 hit kill them. After
they run out of ammo with those, they will simply pull out the Radiation
Launcher, which is around 90% the same thing as the Grenade Launcher, only more
powerful because the explosion lasts longer. If you do manage to get close
enough to attack the enemy, it will use it's Secondary Weapon: Neuropoison.
Which basically lets out a "Rally" like stream that will poison enemies, making
them lose HP at a drastic rate. Lastly, the other weapon happens to be a Recon
Droid. Which doesn't help matters, considering it can now attack and scout at a
distance. Abusing these will get you many kills, but not praise from me. It
takes a meer 8 points to use this cheapbag. More on the Recon Droid, (which I
forgot to type earlier) it can shoot blaster bolts, and then self destruct.
Self Destruct is extremely powerful against human opponents, but the Droid
itself will be destroyed in seconds against a bot. It can also be stopped from
blowing if shot while charging up for the blast.
EQUIPMENT:
Primary Weapon(s): Bulldog RLR
Radiation Launcher
Secondary Weapon(s): Neuro Poison
Recon Droid
--------
Droideka
--------
Droideka's are like the Clone Commander unit meets the Jet Trooper. They are
mobile, and can move quickly along the ground. Then when deployed, they can set
up a defensive shield around them for a short period of time around you. It can
take abuse while you can shoot out at the enemy clones. The Repeating Blasters
are very fast and powerful. However, there are a few flaws with this unit. The
Droideka is VERY weak when it's shield is down. The shield will be taken down
with a detpack or a rocket or two, and a mine will eat through the shield AND
kill the unit inside. When rolling, it can also be killed. Units standing next
to a Droideka will also have a problem, as the Droideka is a Grenade magnet. So
look out. It takes 10 points to use a Droideka.
Primary Weapon(s): Repeating Blasters
Secondary Weapon(s): Shield Emitter

-----------
The Pilot class is a special class. It comes with a pistol for close range
combat, and Time Bombs to blow up enemy innards. This unit isn't that good for

-------------
Rebel Soldiers are the standard infantry for the Rebel army. They are humanoid
creatures. The Rebels are equipped for most situations. They have a Blaster
Rifle for power, and range. They have a Blaster Pistol for close range combat,
and a backup weapon for when the rifle is out of ammo. They carry several
Thermal Detonators to take out enemies, and damage vehicles. This would be one

you practice hard and train. Throwing a grenade will bring up the target,
giving you time to aim a little at the enemy before shooting. The good
news for snipers is that you can now deploy an Auto Turret nearby, so you can
have some defence against units that think it is their day to seek glory by
getting you. You also have some Thermal Detonators, which can be thrown in such
a way that they all run right where you want them, as well as provide some
cover as you reload. Keep it close to ammo droids, you will be needing to get
ammunition more often than you think. This unit can be deadly on levels such as
Kamino. I can rack up a good 30-40 kills in one life before someone notices me.
The odd thing is that they are called "men" when in 80% of the levels they are
women. Strange.

Rebel Smuggler
--------------
Rebel Smugglers are the in-battle version of medics. They can repair your
vehicle, heal you, and replenish your ammo. They can really repair anything
that has a small enough health range. They also can slice into enemy vehicles.
Pulling out a fusion cutter and going to an occupied enemy vehicle will cause
a meter to appear that says "Slicing XX%". It goes up 4-6% every third of a
second or so. (Third, Second, where's first?). Once it reaches 100% the enemy
is out of the vehicle, allowing you to hijack it. The engineer is also equipped
with a handy dandy shotgun. The shotgun is not that great of a weapon in my
opinion, but can be very effective in levels such as Tantive IV. You see, the
shotgun, as in real life, spreads out after you shoot it. This can take care of
enemies in a hallway in a shot or two. The unfortunate part of it is that the
Shotgun has few shots in each clip, and it takes a while to be able to shoot
again. It's still okay, but I prefer a blaster rifle in open levels.
The Engineer also has a Dispenser of Health and Ammo, which you can drop to
other units and yourself. Which can be helpful when you don't have time to
repair a droid. Detpacks are also included in the package, for destruction of
targets and enemy heroes. Expert users should be this class, as Detpacks are
the most deadly weapon in the game, if used properly. If you hold down the
Secondary Fire button, it takes out a detpack but doesn't throw it. If you
release it, and run and aim up, it tosses a detpack quite farther than normal.
Detonating after release makes short work of enemies. I can rack up about 40
kills and stay ahead of the pack in a no bot Tantive Level. The Rebel Smuggler
gun looks ugly, so I hate being rebels and a smuggler.

Bothan Spy
----------
The first of the Rebel Units is the Bothan Spy. The Bothan isn't very useful.
Let me explain why. It comes with the Incinerator, a weapon that is rather
ineffective in groups, it can hit a few, but will probably not kill or heavily
damage most of the enemies. It also has a stealth, which makes you invisible but
drains the stamina. This is bad for two reasons. One is that it limits mobility,
if you want to run quickly to an area, and then sneak in, you can't. Why not
make a stealth bar like the Jetpack has a Jetpack Bar? The other reason it is
bad is because after you use up most of the stamina sneaking in, you will shoot,
and most likely not kill the enemy, then not be able to dodge by rolling much.
The last reason is that it is easy to see you, and if you think someone is
trying to sneak up on you in multiplayer, push Q and you can lock onto the enemy
while they are invisible. Not very handy for the Bothan. You can't shoot while
invisible, as Stealth is a primary weapon. On the plus side, the Bothan has the
Regeneration, which will heal units around you. It also has a timebomb, so you
can sneak up invisible and rig a vehicle without being seen, as it is a
secondary weapon. Overall, don't use it unless you are there for fun and not
serious play. The Bothan takes 8 points to unlock.

Primary Weapon(s): Incinerator

---------------
Wookiee Warrior
---------------
This is more like it. The Wookiee Warrior is a Powerhouse combat unit, designed
for enduring hard areas. The Wookiee Warrior has a primary weapon of a
Bowcaster, which fires out a wide stream of blaster bolts at enemies. It can be
charged up. When fully charged, it is a single, slightly oversized, superfast
powerful bolt that will almost 1 hit kill the enemy. Sometimes it will. But
wait a second, there is more! It also carries a Grenade Launcher, a heavily
powerful weapon (that both sides have, so it's fair) that will launch a grenade
great distances and blow on contact. It can also be charged up to have a fuse,
which means it won't blow on contact and it will slide a distance, which can be
launched around corners. On the Secondary weapons is the Thermal Detonator.
Which we are familiar with if you read the above. Lastly is a Recon Droid, the
Recon Droid can shoot, and self destruct, which kills nearby units. The Droids
do not stand a chance against bots, but will be good against human players. It
can also be stopped from blowing if shot while charging up for the blast.
The Wookiee Takes 10 points to unlock. Did I mention that is has around twice
the health of a normal infantryman? Hard to bring down and takes around 4-5
headshots with a blaster rifle.

Rebel Pilot
-----------
The Pilot class is a special class. It comes with a pistol for close range
combat, and Time Bombs to blow up enemy innards. This unit isn't that good for
taking out enemies, but it awesome at taking out innards of a ship in space.
It also has the special ability of healing spacecraft as you fly. Helping you
recover quicker. Teaming up a Marine and a Pilot will be most effective. The
Time Bomb can take out any innard of the ship in 3 bombs, 2 for the turret
control. This means that you enter an area, blow things up, reload your ammo
and continue on. The Fusioncutter will let you repair ship systems and fix the
droids for ammo and health.
EQUIPMENT:
Primary Weapon(s): Commando Pistol
Fusion Cutter
Secondary Weapon(s): Time Bomb
------------
Rebel Marine
------------
The Marine is sort of the combat unit in space. The Marine has a Blaster Rifle,
much better than that weak old pistol the Pilot has. It will be a dominant
presence in the hangar, as those pilots won't fare well. It also has a Rocket
Launcher, to rack up some damage on those ship weakpoints. They aren't that good
at the job though, which is why they should be escorting the Pilots. The
grenades are death to most enemies coming in doors, and the rifle can finish off
those pesky turrets.
Primary Weapon(s): Blaster Rifle

Stormtrooper
------------
The successor of the Clone Trooper, the Snowtrooper on Hoth, it's none other
than the infamous Stormtrooper. If you have never heard of one, you don't
deserve to play this game. Stormtroopers are the standard infantry for the
Empire. They are based genetically on Jango Fett and other people. The Troops
were ordered from the Kaminoans by the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, ten years
before he came into power. He ordered it anonymously, as he did not want to
reveal that the troops would betray the Jedi in his master plan. The
Stormtroopers are equipped for most situations. They have a Blaster Rifle for
power, and range. They have a Blaster Pistol for close range combat, and a
backup weapon for when the rifle is out of ammo. They carry several Thermal
Detonators to take out enemies, and damage vehicles. This would be one of the
best choice for everyone to choose. Beginners, intermediate and expert.
-------------
Shock Trooper
-------------
Shock Troopers provide artillery for the Imperial army. They can be used on
both offense, and defence effectively. The Rocket Launcher can be used to take
down a vehicle that is pinning you down. The mines can be placed in openings to
an area to make traps. For example: Putting them in between the openings to the
Oil Refinery on Kashyyyk. I once played an online game on Jabba's Palace, where
I was Darth Maul. A Human player dropped mines as I Force Sprinted towards him,
blowing me, him and his teammate up. The moral of the story? Mines can stop
Jedi, at a sacrifice. Experts will be able to use the unit effectively. The
Heavy Trooper also comes with a Blaster Pistol, which is used in combat in
place of the Rocket Launcher. Thermal Detonators can make short work of the
ground troops, and help finish off Vehicles. I wouldn't recommend beginners to
this position unless you are in single player mode. Online, intermediate users
can use this to clear large groups of enemies. I myself have practiced with them
and don't mean to brag, but am quite skilled with one. Mines are also the best
vehicle killing too, they 1 hit kill small assault vehicles and will damage the
heck out of AT-ATs and other similar vehicles.
EQUIPMENT:
Primary Weapon(s): Rocket Launcher
Blaster Pistol
Secondary Weapon(s): Thermal Detonators

-------------
Scout Trooper
-------------
Scout Troopers are Snipers. Simple as that. They shouldn't be used by
beginners, unless you have some experience in other games at picking off
enemies with head shots. The Sniper Rifle is very powerful, and can destroy a
Droideka shield in a few shots. However, there are only 7 shots in each clip
of ammo. Which is bad, so you should reload whenever you have a second or two.
The Sniper also has a Blaster Pistol, which can replace the Sniper Rifle
in close quarters. The Sniper Rifle is terrible at point blank range, unless
you practice hard and train. Throwing a grenade will bring up the target,
giving you time to aim a little at the enemy before shooting. The good

Imperial Officer
----------------
The Imperial Officer is the funnest, probably the best unit for the Empire in
a regular game. The Officer can run around with it's Sonic Blaster, which deals
small damage at short range. When it gets really mad, it can pull out the
Mortar Launcher, which is the Grenade Launcher. It can be fired at an enemy and
blow on contact, or it can be charged up for bouncing and sliding across walls
and floors to blow up later. It's fun shooting into a closed room and watching
them run out. It also has the Status Boosting attack Rage. It carries more
Mortars than the Wookie, but is MUCH weaker. Lastly, it holds the fabled Recon
Droid. When dropped, you can control it. Shooting enemies with the blaster and
then Self Destructing it, destroying several enemies in a room. But bots will
kill it easily as soon as they see it. It can also be stopped from blowing if
shot while charging up for the blast. It takes 8 points to play as this unit.
EQUIPMENT:
Primary Weapon(s): Sonic Blaster
Mortar Launcher
Secondary Weapon(s): Rage

------------
Dark Trooper
------------
The Dark Trooper is an effective unit, IF you know how to use it properly. I
myself avoid it, merely because the Jetpack isn't like the Jet Trooper. Instead
of a continous hover effect, it will cause you to jettison straight up into
midair, hard to aim. If you move forwards, it can launch you up a small distance
ahead. I prefered the other one. The Arc Caster is a lightning attack gun. If
you hold it down, it charges up and will be more powerful. A full charge will
affect multiple units nearby and damage them greatly. A good weapon, but you
need to learn how to use it well. It has a Commando Pistol on backup, just in
case. Last weapon is carries is the Thermal Detonators, used for covers on the
quick escapes, or to throw at enemies. Unlike the Wookiee, it has less health
than the normal infantry. It takes 10 points to play as this unit.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
To use a hero, you have to get a certain amount of points in the game. Once you
have it, a prompt will come up asking you. Accepting will mean you can spawn as
a hero. It won't count as a death, so if you are falling off a ledge, quickly
accept. You should go on a suicide run if you can spawn as a hero, because
dieing will make it available as you spawn. After you have it, you have a time
bar shown by the lightsaber. The more enemies you kill, the longer the bar is.
If you take damage or team kill, the bar will lower. When it runs out, you
leave. And in a chosen amount of time, it becomes available again. Heroes are
better, faster and stronger. And have only a couple weaknesses you have to
exploit. Mainly mine dropping, missles and detpacks. Otherwise, they can block
enemy attacks with the center mouse button.
HEROES
------------
Aayla Secura
------------
Aayla Secura is an alien creature with tentacles and little clothing. She holds
two lightsabers and will devastate small areas with her sweeping strokes.
Droidekas and other heroes have a hard time escaping her, as she blows them
apart easily. She was on Felucia in the Clone Wars, but is in some other areas
in the game. She can throw one of her Lightsabers, and the other move she has
is Force Pull, where she pulls an enemy into her reach and then uses her long
strokes to her advantage. Most players choose her to duel with in duel only
games online.
