Which one do you like better, BB-8 or BB-9E? 🤔

[@Sir-Eris]

BB9E. This thing has a stun and knockback.

[@DBWhale]

Bb8

[@aydintariq]

BB8

[@KyubiCloaks]

Holding both down actually does do more damage its just very small difference

[@wdsmn7968]

BB-9E is absolutely my favourite

[@BennyBrown00]

Just an extra tip for BB-9E: Bacta support actually heals Villians back to their full health pool.

[@CarterDarter]

Very slowly but yes

[@bishanzheng9860]

I always overlook these droids when I see them on the battleground. Edit: When I say overlook I mean both physically like it's kinda hard to see them and also figuratively like I underestimate them because they're small and they're droids.

I think the roll together card for bb8 improves his passive ability cool down for his teammates, not his cool downs. It’s a little confusing the way it’s worded

I just think dice need to look at smoke and improve it to were it is actually impossible to see through

Seems to be for me. I think when you are playing as bb-9e the smoke isn’t as thick so that you can see where you are going.

Use the card to increase smoke thickness.

Aaron Poisson I play Xbox idk if that matters but in my matches I joined late and everyone was a Jedi and they weren’t even using him. Otherwise wait until matchmaking and quickly slide all the way to the right lol you just have to be the quickest

[@timbader898]

Aaron Poisson the other place you can try is co-op: you have to save up your battle points of course, but I found fewer players using that mode to level up ;)

[@UponDemise666]

Aaron Poisson Oh it will. As of right now it's just people that are just trying it out 1st time, & they'll be burnt out on it in a month or so.... the other type are just picking it back up to see if it's improved since 2k17 & will just move on after a few weeks. But the true players/fans of Battlefront will remain when the gawkers move on to the next thing (go back to Fortnite)..... Always happens that way. For now just stick to Co-op &/or HvV & u'll be able to play him a lot.

[@RoemDaug]

Holding attack and block while shocking actually does increase damage, just by in incredibly tiny margin that makes it basically pointless.

[@MirrorkatFeces]

Roem Daug killing slightly faster is still worth doing it

[@Artini_Breww]

Even it being like 1% extra damage, you'd still wanna do it just because it's extra

[@meathir4921]

That’s a myth, Battlefront Knight tested this

[@Historian474]

I think you misunderstood what the Roll Together starcard does. It increases cooldown "support" which is his passive ability that helps out his allies, not himself.

[@skyluciano9816]

I love that dice added these new droids, so far they seem really balanced, and they definitely feel and play the way a droid should. They are unlike anything we’ve seen before, and they were a great surprise. (Just my opinion) Also idk why but I love their flashlights.

Very good! I have watched like 4 videos or so and this one was the best. I now know everything.

[@SinnerBeta]

I also noticed two weird things about BB-8: first is that when a HvV match starts and your team spawns in your passive abilities are already going so by the time the intro is over you already have around 100+ points lol, the second one is that sometimes he will get multiple assists for a single kill, tied to the number of other players attacking the enemy.

[@guy8360]

Doesn't matter since he'll always be at the bottom 🤷🏽‍♂️ i had a game where i never died with 23 eliminations and a teammate with 12 eliminations had double my score almost.... the droids just don't do enough damage for how close tou have to get

[@SinnerBeta]

@@guy8360 Savvy Pirate I have multiple rounds screen shoted where I'm at the top of the scoreboard with BB-8, his cable spin is that good. BB-9E on the other hand yeah, has problem with getting points in HvV, not enough damage to seriously wound the heroes and doesn't get nearly as many assists. At least the electro spin kills regular soldiers in other modes fast enough.

[@AndrewDembouski]

They’re super annoying to fight against in HVV, that’s all I can say cuz that’s all I’ve played so far

[@jyetaylor6898]

Agreed. Unless it’s Bespin or Kashyk which you can just force push them off

[@Jaypeemedia]

I find a lot of BB players on HvV easier to kill than in other modes because they often roll away from the team to get you and you can easily smack them down with a light saber, providing you're at full health

[@dextercuriel3677]

@@Jaypeemedia not me I single out the lighsaber heroes so I can kill them myself. It's very easy to pull a Palpatine with your movement. I piss off a lot of people by winning a 1v1 easily with bb9e or bb8

[@k9cop9mm]

Both droids can use their cable spins through walls and other obstacles. I can sit either droid behind the wall of a tunnel through which reinforcements come, and wipe out most of the wave myself without exposing myself to return fire.

[@endureexistence]

3:51 for bb8 cards 7:53 for bb9E cards

[@starwars1744]

Funny how BB-8 and BB-9E were added to the game before the classic and trusty droid R2-D2.

[@anonymousperson2249]

I think bb9e should get 700 health also his smoke should be like toxic like bossk and the shock spin should do more damage

[@sempiternalized]

I think he does need 700 health, however I like where everything else is at, other than his shock spin, I think it should be like his shock prod, where every 3 or so second enemies get stunned if they stay in his radius.

[@nenonk7768]

Anonymous Person99 your probably a bot noob player thats why you have to use the droids to get kills 😂

Yea couple that with Palpatine stunning you as well an it gets a bit one-sided.. Pull the droids from HvV I reckon.. Have them as support units for all the other modes

[@nightcrawler5383]

I just hope you are someday able to see your personal player stats, some kind of K/D or overall playtime, has anyone ever asked a developer on this topic?

[@SinnerBeta]

BB-8 has way better cards that are not only great but they also allow for multiple builds. BB-9E is mostly on par with it when you compare them without cards, but sadly it's card are lackluster and there's like 2-3 good ones, the rest either not being worth the slot or coming with a serious drawback which BB-8's cards don't come with. Cable spin can melt villains, if you roll in between them during a team fight you will absolutely melt them if they don't notice you and focus on you or run. The only saving grace for 9E is that his basic attack stuns which can really help in HvV fights or stall a saber user that's trying to focus you. Bacta support is pretty useless if you ask me - 3 health for a hero is almost nothing even if he heals every few seconds and for regular troopers it's unnecessary since they will just regenerate their health without your help. If only the card that buffs it was good, but nope, negligent upgrade that comes with a serious drawback.

[@TheStarBazaar]

SinnerBeta I definitely agree 9E’s cards aren’t as good as BB-8’s, but I think BB-8’s are just exceptional for any hero. They seem to compliment his abilities perfectly and like you said allow for multiple builds that can focus on different things. The card that boosts 9E’s shock prod damage is definitely a must, yes

[@billygilmusic5072]

I'm waiting for that Triple XP Weekend to level up both droids in Co-Op since they are very weak without their Star Cards.

[@geogan2]

You seem to still be able to move around a lot with both droids when you are using their spinning move - when I do this on PC, they can barely move at all when spinning??? So I just get killed very easily, and enemies keep moving out of the circle range easily.
