His play style is my fave because if obi made his own character it would be the same as his in game one. The patience and focus you need to play him is very Kenobi-like

[@darthdaywalker434]

His bottom ability activates when you have the high ground.

[@whiskymohawk8563]

Yooo, I picked the game back up a few days ago and LITERALLY YESTERDAY spent the entire day playing Obi-Wan wishing you would make an updated video. How civilized.

Who is better to build up for Noobs? Him or Anakin?

[@neo_atreides]

@@katovomkoziesjus depends on ur playstyle tbh do you wanna play offensive or defensive and both require having good reads but with offense you have to attack first most the time which I think is easier but if u jus like kenobi then play him you’ll get it but I assume u already know this since this is a sorta old question 😅

[@benii2]

YEEEES, thank you a lot, I was goint to see the hero guide of 2019 of Obi Wan and suddenly you upload this one.

[@superiorgaming9399]

Same! I've been waiting for an updated Obi-Wan hero guide for several months.

[@RandoMan07]

Speaking of corners, one time while playing CO-OP I got stuck in the corner of a room while my teammates were spawning and the room was full to the brim of droids but I just held block and waited for my teammates. The room was the third objective on Naboo CO-OP.

[@tabbywarrior]

Lol you can hold block so long with him

[@namegoeshere8564]

Starting a fight with the high ground gives you a 58% boost in damage, 67% in defense, and 82% in health. On the rare occasion that a Kenobi and Grievous act out the first part of their movie fight, bost gain a 60% boost in all stats until one dies. The same goes for if a Kenobi and Maul meet and the Maul uses the revenge emote.

[@Nimoot]

.... Srsly?

[@auroraflos2498]

They were too afraid for a 69% bonus.

[@Traumachu]

In the immortal words of Kenobi, Rob: "Hello there!"

[@Zach-lv5qs]

I like Safeguard more than Perfect Defense. Let it build up, which is easy enough against the amount of spammers in the game. Not only can you get up to the same stamina cost reduction, but it applies to everything. Obi-Wans base defense will be enough to get him there if you're using him appropriately.

[@collenrivers9762]

Does it stack with perfect defense?

[@Zach-lv5qs]

@@collenrivers9762 I'm 99.9% sure it does. Since this post, I personally run him differently.

[@Stoke-Jay94]

I can't believe his rushing ability is only ten second cool down, iv played it for years and I genuinely never realised it was that fast haha lol

[@noamyair]

just wanted to say that obiwans all out push deals 180 to 200 damage to trooper and deals the damage mentioned in the video to heroes so it can one shot all classes including the heavy

[@jonathanbragagnolo4689]

Dare I say, a perfect video! I was struggling with heroes in general and really wanted to find out how to make Obi Wan work for me. This was informative and well put together. Thank you for the excellent content!

[@SammyBoiiiSW]

Appreciate the kind words man!

[@r3kiwi20]

You should have added that when defensive rush is active you can't be locked on by Saber attacks even from behind

[@tabbywarrior]

Agreed

[@hullabaloo6054]

Thanks a LOT there has not been another hero guide for A WHILE NOW 🙏

[@koen9204]

Wow, I love to see how much the quality of your videos has gone up since the last hero guides👍

[@cheesydanishgaming3333]

Pretty solid hero guide However I’d recommend if you’re a good enough player to not need the extra health to swap it out for something else My load out is both his stamina cards And then depending on the mode I swap out his faster push or his increased defensive rush damage to make him untouchable Arguably those could be swapped out for more damage dealing cards too I guess but that’s just what I go with Fast push for hero modes Defensive rush damage for trooper modes

[@paulcampbell353]

Love these 👍 good just to get a reminder of every heroes details nd enjoy the play-throughs in the background

[@theaceofspades485]

11:37 Vader:Now I have the high ground. Obi: Precisely.

[@sercanbulur]

I believe all out push extended range card also makes the ability a one hit kill for the heavy class as well, dealing around 200 dmg.

[@Gipsy_Nutz]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOO. I've been waiting for this one!

Aw yeah. This is the one I was waiting for.

[@eliaaggio961]

Good Job ! Obi-Wan is good also in the last phase on Crait

[@jdbenton171]

I love your hero guides, they helped me when I needed some tips with some of the heroes or villains. Obi Wan is my personal favorite to play as because of his defensive stamina and great abilities

[@ManCity4Life9320]

He my main 😄

[@aidanwd]

Finally an Obi-Wan guide yay

[@PrestonFitzgerald-nh8zw]

One of his cards enables him to decrease his stamina costs after defending against attacks. Ultimately, it increases his stamina by 40 percent and increases the number of attacks he can do to 17.

[@OxiigenV2]

General Grievous / Dooku next? ( I reall do hope you have footage of one of them, and keep these coming they’re awesome)

[@purplemike4]

I personally think that perfect defense + safeguard combo with Jedi resilience is the best.

[@johnholland8044]

Honestly for hvv I would recommend: safe guard/ give it all/ forward! Gives him a much better Offenes and very good defense

[@weekend8547]

Good one!

[@theginganinja08]

Kenobi is my main and I just started recently, he's super defensive which is good against saber fights for me and it's really easy to counter strike

[@nifeshoyinka4336]

Lmao I was watching the old obj wan guide last night thanks for the update

[@babcockrollins8354]

Careful on endor. Those swoop bikes will fire through your block too.

[@MasterOfTheElements]

[@TheJusticefornone]

The most underrated hero in the game, in my honest opinion!😃

[@alexandrostheodorou8387]

I love using Kenobi on Co Op. i use the 2 star cards that increase his stamina, and becoming a blocking god. Its stupid but its fun! 😂

[@Langford-Artist]

Probably my favorite hero to play as. I don’t know what it is but it’s just satisfying to play as Kenobi and get a killstreak with him.

[@iswiftyfox8997]

He’s my favorite to use in 1v1s as he is so fucking op in showdown, 400 health regen, broken stamina, he is a top tier for sure best on the light side, only worse than vader

[@TheshowUSA1]

@@iswiftyfox8997 and Dooku

[@THEFELLOWSHIPOFTHEFORCE]

If anyone is wondering a good obi wan star card setup use Jedi resilience, forward, safeguard. Safe guard is good because obi wan is a patient and defensive character blocking abilities shots and lightsaber attacks will literally increase your attacking stamina and you can go up to 18 swings or more.

[@lucabrasi9433]

Ok but his lock on lunges can be pretty godly as well as his hit box detections on his swings they will usually find a way through your block

[@Chrislauter]

Do lando again

[@obi-wankenobi6673]

Wow you know me almost as much as I do

[@TheLimeFondants]

I think you missed something mate. With obi wan if you are in an elevated position apposés to your enemy then your lightsaber damage is increased 999,999,999% , all of your abilities cool downs are set to 0 and your health is bumped up to ♾️

[@coryc8819]

I played as him and I'm brand new he seems underrated and people seem to use anakin more or yoda

[@simples9987]

There’s honestly no bad saber heroes, if you know how to use them. If it helps, keep in mind grievous can’t block blaster fire (not force sensitive), however he makes up for it with unrelenting advance and other abilities. Wish you well!

[@debrazebra603]

I use both block cards and the regen card. Legends say I’ve still yet to die in GA

[@oppiko]

Any chance you'd want to jump on some of the hip battles, or try some squadrons?

[@Qpdocnrn]

When does the anakin guide drop ?

[@kc_6770]

As an obi-wan main, I 100% agree

[@grandmasteryoda6687]

8:54 Mentioned Iden, Phasma and Boba, but didn't mention the most ability reliant character in the game (Bossk)

[@Starwarsgames66]

I find the best cards for GA/Supremacy are: Jedi resilience Forward and Safeguard. The ability to get 40% more stamina is insane! Safeguarded secretly his absolute game changer card. When fully maxed you can get 40% more blocking and attacking stamina! I noticed in your clip you ran out of stamina quite a bit. If you use safeguard you wouldn’t of had that issue and you wouldn’t of eaten all that damage. That Palpatine almost made mincemeat of you because you were really really low on stamina

[@mar_speedman]

Wait, it's a stamina cost reduction for *everything?* I had no idea! This changes everything!

[@joshuaamado559]

The stamina card which reduces his stamina use by like 40% is kind of nuts in supremacy. I can stand in front of enemy spawn points and just block the entire teams blasters and deflect it back getting several kills. It basically eliminates the threat of dying by blaster.

[@Elnegro..]

I use hp regen, stamina card and all out push quicker card. All out push allows me to get 2 to 3 free hits.

[@felings4u544]

New anakin skywalker guide when???

[@iswiftyfox8997]

Btw, obi wan is very different in HvV and Hero Showdown, In HvV he can be countered by just attacking his teammates, but in Hero Showdown, if you wanna win you have to kill him. And if you’ve ever played showdown consistently I think most players know that he is THE best hero showdown light side character in the game, second best in the game only beaten by Vader.

[@dariannisch7511]

Luke and dooku are better

[@iswiftyfox8997]

@@dariannisch7511 Luke is good, but that 200 health regen is so bad it brings Him down a lot. And I think dooku is about on par with obiwan, but dooku is not on the light side.

[@dariannisch7511]

@@iswiftyfox8997 yeah but he can regen twice as fast as everyone else can regen their health and btw vader is not on the light side. And some people play very defensive with obi-wan and that's maybe why some think that he is one of the best in hs but he isn't

Bossk is also a good counter he deals so much unblockable damage and I have bested many good Obi Wan players with him.

[@raulrincon9648]

That's true, but if obi wan gets his mind trick off before bossk is ready, bossk is almost guaranteed dead. He relies more on his abilities than arguably any other hero

[@grandmasteryoda6687]

@@raulrincon9648 Well, if you do a true 1 vs 1, no ledging, just both of them alone, you should always have a set of proximity mines at the ready. Plus, Bossk can jump to avoid saber strikes.

Please do count dooku please

[@diegoceballos3314]

Im literally Achilles with Kenobi!! The best to play him is aggressive and defensive at the same time. You should never play defensive all the time players will find a way to through it. You have the health card, attacks and blocks drain less stamina, the all push cards, rush do more damage. These cards are great for assault but for HVV use the all out push and mind card for better advantages for against Vader, pal, iden, and kylo. I promise you the right to play Kenobi is aggressive. You won’t believe the amount of players that have complemented me about being the best Kenobi they’ve seen. Their words not mine!! But I’ll admit I’ll call myself Achilles with Kenobi only to motivate me to do better in fights.

[@SuperTart]

how do you get obi wan

[@nathanwilson4620]

the only problem with obi wan's middle ability is that it doesn't effect the AI in co op for some reason

I disagree with Think It Over starcard in HvV. Mind Trick ability is completely situational. I use it before Defensive Rush so lightsaber heroes don’t stop it. Or against Phasma or Bossk. Extra seconds are not worth it in my opinion. I would prefer Forward starcard for bonus damage.

[@thecreamycheesecrisper2631]

Iden hero guide?

[@buddypatzbudpat5760]

I am pretty sure obiwans push does 200, since i always 1shot heavies. Another thing you forgot to mention is that during defensive rush, you are immune to lightsaber swings, but sometimes when dooku has duelist active, he'll still be able to hit you. IMO perfect defense is a really bad star card compared to safeguard, since safeguard also reduces 40% swing stamina and it barely takes any time to charge up.

[@joshuabreen112]

Is there any need for more hero guide videos when they've been done to death and the games support has been cut for over a year?
