Battlefront 2 Tutorials #1 - Lightsaber Combat and Hero/Villain Tips, Tricks, and Secrets

Finally, the beginning of the highly requested tutorial series has arrived! This is part 1 of a mini-series of tutorial videos focusing on different aspects of lightsaber and hero combat. This video, specifically, is showing various tips, tricks, and secrets in lightsaber combat and things you can do with individual saber heroes and villains. This video doesn't contain every single trick or secret in the game (that would make the video go for hours), but I tried to put in things that I think is useful information, and also some things that haven't already been shown in every other tutorial video out there. I hope you learn something new, and if not, then hopefully my future tutorial videos may show you something new. Hope you enjoy! :)

Hello there. Hope you all liked the video! I spent the past 3 weeks, every night, working on it. This is also not the only tutorial video i'm making. This is just a general kind of tips and tricks video to help start the series. In the near future I am going to make specific videos dedicated to each part of lightsaber combat, so you can learn it piece by piece in an easy way, instead of having to sift through a messy 30 minute video. Until then, what did you think of this one? Did you like it? Not like it? Learn something new? Any requests? Let me know in the comments!

[@Merumya]

Learned a lot, good editing (timing with description and what was happening on screen), nice music choices thoughout, overall a good job :)

[@itsghostbro4594]

I'm new and you're right

[@lukypluto666]

Thank you for new tricks its helpful

[@rod2467]

Such a great trick is being able to parry a lightsaber swing. Helps when fighting multiple saber heroes. I do it whenever I’m constantly fighting 1v4s in HvV.

[@angela_jx]

I’ve played this a lot so I’ll share my tips too: 1. 90% of the time don’t try to block the return on the saber throw. It’ll leave you way too exposed and you’ll lose more health than you would’ve if the saber throw hit you. Better option is to dodge it. 2. Try to be as mobile as you can. Even with with a hero like vader who’s “slow”. Staying in one place WILL get you killed(talkIng about GA and supremacy). 3. Don’t spam swing. Not even against regulars. If they know how to dodge even a little bit you’ll lose a bunch of health at best. But also don’t stand there blocking. Learn when to attack and when not to. 4. Don’t get overconfident just because you mind trick your opponent with obiwan or rey. If your opponent knows what they’re doing a little bit they’re crush you. Try to navigate to their back with rey if you can since their turn speed is slower. 5. And finally, if you’re fighting a level 800 vader, give up. Obviously jk but be careful with vader because no matter if you’re at full health or 100 health, you’re always one choke away from dying. Keep your eye on him on the minimap and be extra careful if you know/think he has a choke. Try to get him to waste it if you can before engaging him more aggressively. Bonus tip. Watch AnarchyNinja and learn from how he plays especially with heroes lol. Trust me you won’t regret it

Hey Ashoka! I loved your video. Very insightful! I'd love to see a "how to duel: sabers vs blasters". Mostly, I'd like to learn how to duel sabers as a blaster hero. It seems like in a 1v1 I always lose to sabers. Makes me miss the roll from launch lol.

[@LeeEverett1]

Will you be doing a series guide on how to engage each hero with what hero you're using? Like if you're using Rey, what's the best way to engage Vader, Kylo, Palpatine, etc.

[@athinaanagnosti1879]

Kind of impossible. There are about 25 different ways it could go if you are playing as kylo and target rey. Depends on hiw old the player is in the game, how many teammates are next to rey and how they are placed, as well in whatatch you are playing, if you have good teammates, what level is the chatacter you are facing and some more stuff
