The most important tip for Grievous, don’t block blasters

[@patricksebastien7936]

if executed well, you actually can deflect a decent amount of incoming fire, then dodge away quickly/claw rush away

[@ItzSandman]

At least not for long periods of time. It's perfectly fine to block if you want to maintain your regeneration window for a few extra moments. Otherwise, you're completely right.

[@colinmarsh8776]

deffinately

[@KrillintheVillain]

Grevious has a fast jump speed so i recommend that for avoiding blasters

[@justamemer9903]

Just jump, dash, hide, attack

[@brodycallahan8552]

Honestly when clicking on this video i expected it to be some small low quality star wars fan page video, but i was pleasantly surprised when i saw that it was actually really well done and high quality. I'll definitely be checking out more of your channel!

[@n-arc03talks57]

It's a bit hard for me to dodge and jump in areas with low ceiling though. The only option I have is to tank the hits while running or using up the crawling ability. It's probably just a skill issue or smth but for now idk what else to do.

[@killerdebit5709]

The flesh is weak card bumps grievous’s health from 800 to 1042, so an extra 242 health for anyone curious how much it gives you

[@danielsmyth6336]

I'm one of those strange beings that play mostly hero showdown and the claw rush damage reduction is important in higher play because its an easy parry and sabers do lock onto it. Its a good advantage as u recover stamina while they lose it.

[@pilotpandashot3286]

I don’t really agree W this as I think there is many better star cards for dueling. At this I don’t think he’s a good pick for hs either

[@unhandydaddy5117]

Either I've run into many new players but majority of the people I've played against simply don't know that the Claw rush can be parried.... So I just go for the most aggressive grievous build with Sith Trained, line up weaklings and the card with increases Thrust surge damage (I forgot it's name)

[@danielsmyth6336]

@@unhandydaddy5117 yeah makes sense. Line up weaklings is strong in both trooper and HvV. If you doing 2v2s then its still strong in HS but in 1v1s its practically useless cus ur only hitting one guy

[@Hoodini2253]

@@danielsmyth6336it’s still decent cuz it’s just more Damage, same thing as obis charge, only hitting one person, but his saber damage is better

[@alpha34098]

Something i recommend with the Claw Rush is to try cancelling the ability at the very moment that it hit with the Rush, and also remember that the Rush can hit the same enemy twice, so if you hit an enemy, try to turn around and hit them again. Another Star Card I recommend on the large scale game modes specially in very compact areas (like the corridors of the Death Star) is Deadly Slashes as that extra damage with Unrelenting Advance can be very helpful when dealing with tight groups of enemies

[@chillvibe3688]

The nostalgia is amazing, thanks for still constantly uploading for the past few years bro

[@vishaalsinghchauhan6440]

Btw quick tip for ga or suprem. Greivous's blocking blaster bolts changes depending on range. If think this is either unique or a bug. At colse range he blocks five blaster bolts, but at range, for me at least it seems he can block 12. However this only works on infantry, not heroes. That is what makes me think its a bug. Also greivous cannot defect back to where blasters are being shot, making him the only saber hero who cannot reflect blasters at troops

[@michaelburns8699]

Dude my heart skips a beat every time you update a guide Bc I’m so hyped for them. Love you man♥️

[@alecflansburg1632]

Same

[@ashg9023]

Beating heart, flesh is weak, and the extended thrust is the best universal set up I find - the extended thrust allows you to close distance rapidly, so the issue he has with blasters is mitigated more.

[@gasmonkey3138]

Very true my friend

[@saikrishsrivastava4498]

I think Obi-Wan is a character to beware of cuz grievous heavily relies on his abilities and Obi-Wan's middle ability has only 1 use and that's to kill a grievous

[@CojaGamez]

Yeah and also grevious block stamina is so bad that obi wan can easily out stamina him if you aren't careful

[@lordpeckle6714]

Also Obi-Wan can pull out a blaster when at critical health which does bonus damage against Grievous

[@orpheus4805]

[@isaacangeloff3753]

This was uploaded on my birthday!!! A hero guide for my favorite villain

[@gankygerry8005]

Ceaseless assault is really underrated for heroes vs villains, 40% damage reduction while in unrelenting advance makes is very usable in those modes if you know what you're doing, essentially let's you drain the enemies stamina for free and if they do dodge around and land a hit, it's minimal and gives you time to turn on them again

[@joshuahall24]

Brilliant hero guide as usual Sammy!!! I’m always so happy to see your videos! Hopefully not too long before you can get back into the streaming business 👌😁😁

[@anakinskywalker3017]

[@dinonutz]

Just as an example of Grievous’ super low block stam, blocking Lando’s Sharp Shot or whatever it’s called will drain your entire stamina bar.

great video, really helped me! well done amazing

[@SwiftDeath0608]

I really like using Jedi Killer, Deadly Slashes, and Line Up Weaklings for trooper modes. It turns all his abilities into one hit kills on anything smaller than a heavy. Also the added 50% to thrust surge range really throws people off, and can give you another way to slip out of a bad spot by yeeting yourself across the theed throne room

[@Colbalistic]

Finally a grievous guide

[@M00NBILGE]

You’re a Legend!!

[@rohan-jl]

I have played grievous a heck ton of a lot and one thing I find overlooked in this video is the starcard that improves the range of the saber leap(forgot the name). Since its a bit buggy it will nearly always get you to the enemy even around corners, also the leap is very fast so you are almost unhittable while using the ability, and another great thing about it, if you use this ability instead of clawrush to get into the fight, then you will always have an easy way out if you ever get out of stamina. Not to forget that if you hit a hero with the ability they will get knocked down and you can get a couple free hits on them

[@loganbuternowsky4634]

I love using Jedi Killer in HvV. The extended range on thrust surge really helps close the gap and catch fleeing heroes

[@kentuckycriedfricken4667]

I use Gevious just so I can say, *.“your lightsaber will make a fine addition to my collection”.*

[@Distraughtbirb]

In GA I do switch the sith trained star card for the ‘flesh is weak’ star card.

[@tomas_crusader1756]

[@JMan6271]

wonderful video

[@AlexAlex-fg8ew]

Most important few tips with grevious is you shouldn’t be blocking unles you are against another saver hero and you should be constantly jumping and dashing when in the open because it makes him impossible to hit. Also just look to get into tight areas/corridors and use claw rush it is so easy to rack up kills that way.

[@preston5356]

thanks for the gide

[@Redbullman15]

Thank you :)

[@elitesenpai2980]

I suck as grievous even on co-op, ima definitely used these tips thx

[@tristinwhlr1112]

Tip if you're going against a blaster hero thrust surge into basic attack into claw rush into another basic swing. If they don't dodge the initial thrust surge they're almost guaranteed to die bc the rush will hit through their dodge after your first swing knocking them down and giving you an almost guaranteed follow up hit

[@CojaGamez]

A little tip for grevious I picked up is that unrelenting advance is a great way to approach an enemy shooting at you. Activate it, walk forward, cancel it, and then kill the enemy without taking much damage. Works quite well against a lot of enemies in front of you as well

[@statepropertyfan87]

Grievous actually blocks better against sabers and if you timing is right 1v1 fights can be plenty victorious that's just what I've noticed once I got the hang of using him

[@M1slenderman]

What I like to use for hvv is Jedi killer, momentum, and betting heart because I just feel like thrust surge is really good with these cards but this is just my opinion because I try to play really aggressive with grievous and I likely will end up having to chase down a hero and honestly I find it so funny when grievous is just flying through the air 😂

[@wilberforce95]

I agree, staying mobile is the best way to play Grievous in my experience

[@Alan_Skywalker]

[@RestiveApple]

[@bunningssnag6647]

Perfect timing i rly want to play grievous but im terrible at him

[@nathanteasley8170]

Be careful of thrust surge against lightsaber hero’s, they can parry and get 2 hits in before your animation is over

[@CapNoan]

Nice

[@olivercurtis191]

I know cinematic tools stopped working for Bf2, but there still is another application called open game camera. its really cool and makes upper the loss of cinematic tools. Just thought i'd let you know.

[@dmitry8676]

YES! YEAAAAAAS!!!

[@jadenmin1538]

Grievous's star cards are very situational but good overall. I would use Sith-trained in trooper modes because then you do more damage to them. Line up weaklings is also a good card for trooper modes. For the last card, you can do whatever. For hero modes, I usually go beating heart, Flesh is weak, and cowardly retreat. It might be a surprise, but it's useful to get away, and maximize the beating heart card, so you can regen and stay safe. But these are what I prefer.

[@rememberthefallen1970]

That sweaty Luke was probably pissed when you killed him lol😆

[@Spir1tSolo]

Yeah I wouldn't recommend using unrelenting advance, even without the glitch, it's still bad it only works a bit against new/braindead players, because with old/normal ones it's so easy to counter it. If it's against troopers, you'll probably get spammed by explosions or get behind you (i think it doesn't have a damage reduction without the ceaseless assault star card) if it's against heroes, with blaster ones pretty much the same as troopers, with lightsaber heroes they'll retreat, spam their push abilities or the rush/dash ones which can damage through your ability's block. The funniest part about it is the many times it's mentioned this ability works pretty well in close hallways spots. Even in this situation, the enemy can just roll/dash through your character's ability and get behind you already, which is really bad and I said this by experience because there was a time I wanted to give this ability a use, sacrificing 2 star cards slots just to upgrade it. I wish this ability could get his 2 star cards attributes as default (with this I mean having the +40% damage reduction and +40 damage without having the 2 star cards on) it would make it a bit more worth to use Good guide by the way.

[@zscountdown8070]

I know this is a guide for kindof beginners but his bunny hop jump attacks make his swing speed insane which nobody that’s good with him doesn’t really use his regular attacks also in hvv and hero showdown always equip the cowardly retreat card because a lot of players with keep partying your claw rush to take some peri mins at health away and having that 90% damage reduction stops them from doing that.

[@death735]

New video LESSGOOOOOOO

[@instinctcrazy1006]

Thanks dad🙌🏻 anakin next?!

[@Humanresouces]

Yes please

[@skeleton819]

something i like to do with unrelenting advance at least in hero modes is only use it for a brief moment then cancel it just to do a little damage and kinda disorient my enemy

[@CojaGamez]

Yeah its actually a lot less bad when you remember you can cancel it

[@Countcomfortable]

I generally lunge in,attack for a bit,Unrelenting Assault if I’m cornered,then Spider out of there.I also think that because of how Gamechanging UA is,Investing into the cards for it are worth while

[@James-sr9vr]

I utilise his abilities as a defensive and offensive play for that he is my favourite hero to play as. Love destroying blaster players with him because he fast lol

[@NikoCigoj]

I use jedi killer star card in hvv. It grants more range for theust surge, which is great for closing the distance beetwen you and other heroes

[@MissAshley101]

It's good against blaster heros

[@joeswanson7634]

I don't think or don't remember you mentioning his stamina when blocking blasters so as far as I can tell he can only block 3 blaster bolts before completely being drained of stam .

[@snugg1escat676]

Maining Grevious I have come to learn a deep hatred for enemy Wookies especially Chewwie. They dish out so much damage so quickly especially if you dont have a block

[@theboi5411]

I get what your saying. but for HVV and HS I would choose these cards Beating heart. Flesh Is Weak. And Line up. Weaklings. If that doesn't seem to work then I would use this: Beating Heart. Flesh Is Weak And: Unrelenting Advance. I use unrelenting advance card because it gives damage reduction for well...Unrelenting Advance. I can use it in choke points or in other various situations and it usally gets me out of those tight situations. But after watching this video. Cowerdly retreat could actually be a REALLY solid choice, So thanks for waking me up to this. Anyways thats my opinion And I'll talk to ya soon. Ba - bye!

[@alcf5548]

In all honesty I see "cowardly retreat" as a great way to charge up to blaster heroes because of the 90% damage reduction

[@acropolismrealdude9378]

This helps out alot as I'm a vet with Grievous. Although it does get more difficult to play with him if you're very aggressive. Any tips with managing him in aggressive plays?

[@tommyfortress7515]

[@lochnessable115]

[@ahabduennschitz7670]

You should play Grevious like a Guerilla Warrior: Hide, Attack, repeat and youre good. Just like a real General you should never be the Center of the Battle but have a good overview of the Battlefield and only strike when you have a good chance of surviving

[@TheDoctorX11]

I miss this game

[@sneakylike333]

In my opinion General Grivious is the second best character in the game behind vader. *FOR HERO MODES* He has amazing survivability (3rd best in game) Best damage for a lightsaber without using an ability. An escape card which does too much damage and his jump is springy which makes him able to spam jump attack. His thrust surge is great at chasing fleeing enemies but is buggy. Love Grivious and I want to see someone else opinion.

[@alastor1227]

His bugs kinda bring him down. The claw rush doesn't do the second attack anymore, unrelenting advance kinda sucks, thrust surge is buggy. If he was fixed he would be good but I'd say Kylo or Palp are more well off.

[@haydonlane3819]

I use line up weaklings , flesh is weak & Jedi Killer (thrust surge from further away) Makes it so much easier to kill those damn rocket troopers when they try to fly off after hitting you with a rocket . Thank me later lol

[@zerodarkdaygozdd9380]

Jedi Killer star card is very underated especially against jet troopers as you stated.

[@Litterbugtaylor]

if you drop grievous into capital supremacy defence at some points you just cannot lose, the one guy that was using grievous only died when he had 66,000 points so he just went straight back into him

[@oliep.2035]

In dark side I always use dooku and kylo and I’m trying to get good with grievous

[@user-rj6cz4wl7w]

[@Humanresouces]

[@mindblowingquestions]

We Really REALLY need the Grievous With the Cape For BF2 like it’s been too long

[@JohnnyCash3231]

Quick question if you have the time, does ‘Beating Heart” apply to ‘Flesh is Weak’? Because his health regen is halfed with ‘Flesh is Weak’ and I was wondering. Does the regen apply or get canceled out? - I play on Xbox so I don’t know if it’s different?

[@frost7463]

Flesh is weak doesn’t half his regen pool, it halves the speed at which it regenerates.

[@FreelancerCZ]

Since i am only semi decent with parry controlled spam and not regular parry which can be inconcistent for me (i play only HvV and change heroes a lot) Grev actually is easier for me to play.

[@t-800o]

grievous is exposed to all abilities while in unrelenting advantage expect for blaster bolts and basic lightsaber attacks

[@kianhardwick]

I just can’t use his unrelenting advance I always die any tips? I feel as if I never move or I’m like 1mph

[@ComboFood]

Instead of line up weaklings I use the extra range for thrust surge And I use Flesh is Weak and beating heart

[@snaald8552]

Cowardly retreat is not a very good card in my opinion. Sure 90% damage reduction is good, but it's only usefull when you're using it to escape. I thinks it's better to use the line up weaklings card, bcs you already have 50% damage reduction when using claw rush and you do 180 damage. Beating heart speaks for itself and flesh is weak makes you very tanky

[@gabrielbilling3638]

I use line up weaklings,cowardly retreat and beating heart.

[@Penguinz072]
