That said, Maul has some cheap moves for a Sith character he is the only one with Force Push on the villain faction and his lightsaber is rather wide when thrown. Whereas Dooku, Anakin, and Vader can look alike at a distance, one glance at the lightsaber will immediately mark Maul for death by the good guy team. However, by the time you make the switch, it may be too late for the lightning to have an effect on the battle.ĭarth Maul is actually a good hero to play except that his unique lightsaber immediately gives him away. A Dooku player should stick to choke and only switch to lightning if the good guys outnumber the bad guys and if he has plenty of stamina/force to spare. Force Lightning is a mixed bag - it works well against regular enemies, but it fails to seriously threaten characters in Hero Assault mode. However, unlike Palpatine, Dooku cannot glide and plays more like a standard Jedi with Force Lightning instead of Saber Throw. Anakin is a good starting character to use, if you're new to the Dark Side.Ĭount "Yeah Baby, My Frat Name Was Darth Tyranus" Dookuĭas Count is basically a more overt version of Palpatine since his lightsaber is always on. His main contribution to the team will be to use choke when allies are around and saber throw when he needs to snipe someone. His dark clothing makes him easy to see against the Mos Eisley backdrop, but his silhouette blends easily inside dark areas (like the Cantina) and he mixes well if placed besides other dark-clothed characters.

'Ani' Skywalker is a run of the mill Dark Jedi with nothing special. Just remember she cannot attack once she throws out one of her sabers.Īnakin "I'm A Faceless Half-Man Warlock" Skywalker Her pull and throw Force combo is adequate for most cases and lets her generally devastate single enemies quickly.

This means she can actually hit twice when she starts her spinning. Aayla Secura is rather deadly with two lightsabers - her two sabers each count as a saber each. Aayla "Mission Vao If She Was Jedi" SecuraĪayla is no Mission Vao, but hey, she's Twi'lek if you know what I mean and I think you do. Moving to attack using Force Speed will leave your Jedi or Sith defenceless if surrounded. This is a very powerful defence, so try to hoard your stamina meter if you are under heavy fire. Jedi and Sith can block incoming projectiles, Force attacks, and thrown sabers using the Block command. Their controls are under the Jedi control scheme. All Jedi and Sith heroes use lightsabers for their primary attack.
