As uncovered by the beta data mine, there are more heroes and villains coming to Star Wars: Battlefront than just Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. But who, exactly?
EA has announced that Princess Leia, Emperor Palpatine, and Han Solo will be playable starting on launch day of Star Wars: Battlefront. The only missing character found in the beta files is Boba Fett.
Below you can see and read more about each of these three popular characters.
Princess Leia
Style: Hard Support
Abilities:
- Trooper Bane – "A hard-hitting, boosted blaster shot, Trooper Bane is designed to be fired in single bursts."
- Enhanced Squad Shield – "This works like the regular Squad Shield Power Card but is far stronger: it can stop some Force abilities and Leia can even shoot out of it with Trooper Bane active, which ground troopers cannot."
- Supply Drop – "Activate this ability to drop a variety of power ups for ground troopers, or health boosts for other Hero characters."
Emperor Palpatine
Style: Mobile Support
Abilities:
- Force Dash – "Move extremely fast in his current direction, which can be a real nasty surprise for Rebel soldiers."
- Imperial Resources – "Hand out powerups to team mates and health boosts to other Villains."
- Force Lightning – "Fry everything that moves."
Han Solo
Style: Mobile Damage
Abilities:
- Rapid Fire - "Active for a few seconds, this lets Han fire his Blaster as fast you can pull the trigger, without having to worry about overheating."
- Lucky Shot – "This is a “build up and release” power that hits really hard and is effective against vehicles."
- Shoulder Charge – "Both an offensive and defensive move and can be used to quickly get in to battles but also out of them."
