(I’m honestly extremely disappointed by him. The entire point of Obi-Wan is to have an unbreakable defence. He’s supposed to be able to outlast his opponents, not out-power them. He should have, then, higher health and a better block, along with possibly even a starcard to increase his health. He’s not supposed to have the highest damage of any light-side hero, he’s supposed to have the best block. He’s not supposed to rush forward with his lightsabre, he’s supposed to be an immovable bulwark for his team to hide behind. They didn’t get one aspect of this right. Even his personality isn’t as calm and conservative as it should be. If this is Obi-Wan, the defensive one, then Anakin will have to be nothing short of a literal charging bull.)
obi wan gets beaten by Dooku twice i the movies and moves around a lot and yells a lot when fighting grievous or ventress. they got it pretty accurately with his accurate blaster deflection and health regen. his movement speed in the movies is very inconsistent too
So you want obi wan to be unbeatable and basically have an unlimited block? He is a very defensive hero just because you are trash with him doesn’t make him bad. His block is super accurate you can actually get multiple kills with it not like anyone else, stop complaining all he needs is a little damage boost to his basic attacks and fix his force push and make his mind trick last longer and he will be near enough perfect, seriously though stop bitching because you wanted a different version of him
+Green Goliath Unfortunately, his precise deflection is useless because it don't really work 50% of the time, his pull is worse than Luke's push. In my opinion, his mind trick should disability blaster fire for 2 seconds, or at least, five him a star card to do it. Also, his saber swings seems to be slightly slower than others imo. Don't get me wrong, I liked him, but he need to have his abilities fixed to be better.
3:20 Obi Wan now actually holds the highest saber damage because Grievous got secretly nerfed and he no longer deals double damage from behind, nor does he deal 20+ damage from behind like all other saber heroes. So Obi Wan does 130 damage from the front and 150 from behind
I absolutely want more guides for heroes. I’ve been focusing on troopers most of the time, but I’ve gotten them all maxed. So now I need to learn each hero for milestones
Modern Obi wan block until they run out of stamina then slash them once maybe twice until they’re health is reaching the low side mind trick then defensive rush if you strike at the right time you you can ignore there block then dash behind them and strike them down
Mayb not nerf but could use sum fixes. His thrust surge has hit me in the air dont know if thats intendes dang rocket man. There seems to b bug where either his crawl or unrelenting assault stays active n just melts ppl
Onenooby Boi no just leave him alone he’s fine or else they’ll screw him up again. Here are some examples Luke’s first Lightsaber Strike not hitting. Maul’s saber through. Han’s Detonite Charge. Palpatine’s lightning. If a hero is fine don’t touch it.
Obi Wan ive found is best used when you plat him defensively. He works best when surrounded by a platoon of allies. His All Out Push is best used in narrow areas where there's lots of enemies in front of him.
@Battlefront Knight I recently discovered your channel while playing during the double xp weekend, and I have to thank you for giving me a better understanding for how the heroes/villains work. I'd love to see an updated video for Palpatine, I saw your previous video explaining how he's a support hero and it helped me a Lot. I went into his kit thinking he was just area damage, but now that I look at him from a supportive perspective his kit makes a lot more sense to me now.
In my opinion he is probably the worst jedi hero in hvv; his swings are slow af, defensive rush is pretty much useless in hvv, his force push is predictable and most of the time it doesn't work and his mind trick ability could be better if it lasted longer just like Reys. He really needs a buff to be reliable in hvv.
I have found that winning a 3v1 with obi wan is very possible. It is easy to panic with lots of things going on, but, if you choose star cards orientatated towards health regeneration and heavily towards stamina, you can easily drain villain stamina. You just have to keep them in front and hold block until they run out of stamina, and keep using all out push when you feel cornered. The idea is to slowly leech health. Pushing villains let’s you land a hit or two, but you need to pull back, or else death awaits. He really works great for hvv.
That bug where you stand still when you step off the ledge of something is not only affected to Obi Wan, it happens to all heros. I was Yoda and Darth Maul and I come across that bug in GA
Oh man thank you so much for this vid. I played obi wan last night for the first night and I sucked as him. Though I love the fact that his push can be aimed. Helped me take out boba a couple of times
I feel like the fans could have made a better Obi Wan. Like he is supposed to be a defensive master. Not some offensive guy. Give me a Vader type health and long long long stamina with good solid defensive force abilities and strong quick decisive lightsaber moves that are better after a block. I want Obi Wan to out last and think his opponents. Just feel like this is all wrong. He also should be faster at moving since he is a younger guy who should have good defensive get always
The Modern Day Gamer I feel his kit captures his character almost perfectly, to be honest. Also worth noting that playing Kenobi aggressively is an easy way to get yourself killed, honestly the same could be said about most of the heroes in this game. Being consistently aggressive puts you too much in harms way and you'd easily get melted. The only time you should really be aggressive with Kenobi is if you have the fully upgraded Forward card and there is a narrow corridor full of enemies.
When are you gonna start streaming live and keeping the videos up on YT again? Miss those streans. Used to wake up to a new stream from the night before and I’d watch it while playing and these days it’s just not the same. Please bring them back bro!
For GA I personally really like the card that reduces the force push charge up time by 0.5s. Technically it's not a lot, but it's actually very noticable.
I found out that if you dash backwards versus another lightsaber user then go on the assault or dash forward to get behind them if they always block helps greatly I always use it with Obi and Luke because it doesn't really work for others
As an assault main, I can confirm that a vanguard to the back of the head is much more effective then a vanguard to the face, as charging from the front will usually result in death, whilst a vanguard from the rear will give you the element of surprise.
Love these videos, especially this one as I am one of those people struggling with Kenobi. The recommended star cards is the best bit of these vids as I'm always unsure of how to best set up heroes. Keep it up dude.
The one thing that throws me off about Kenobi is the fact that the controller won’t vibrate when he strikes enemies. It’s happened every single time and I end up doing extra strikes because I don’t know if I’m hitting the enemy only to realize they have died but then I get gunned down. Not only that but I feel as though Kenobi does extra swings, I’ve stopped attacking before to run away but he just swings back at the enemy for no apparent reason which in turn gets me killed. He will literally lunge towards an enemy after I’ve pulled him back to run. I’m not sure if anyone else is getting this but really I’m frustrated with Kenobi because he IS my favorite Star Wars character and I would love to properly play as him.
The glitch where you dodge away from the fight on lunge back in has been there since launch it does it with most lightsabre heroes it's just cause you press the button to many times. It always gets me killed.
Jack Anderson I know but it’s much more prevalent with him. I will be running away for a good five seconds and then he’ll lunge back to where I just was. You might be right though because I genuinely don’t feel any vibrations when I strike with his saber, so I tend to just mash the attack. It’s only for him too as I’ve gone to play as other heroes where I feel the vibrations of each of their strikes.
@@blushedzero1612 He also doesn't block all attacks sometimes and his push dosent hit. besides that Imo everyone wants to kill a hero unti the second they spawn in so you gotta be real carefull when you go in and make sure you at least have soldiers near you.
They should really do something about Obi-Wan's mind trick... you'll use it and not even catch up to your enemy before it runs out. I'd personally make it castable mid-air & increase the duration of it by 2 seconds. Also is it just me or it seems like a broken ability? A lot of the times I use it and see the enemy instantly use one of their abilities... maybe unlucky timing? Right now it's a great counter to Palps and Maul so there's that at least. Palps is still broken in Galactic Assault and this is a good band-aid.
In simplified terms: Play Kenobi as Kenobi in the show. Be form 3, defensive then strike. It's super effective towards other heroes. At least that's how I've been playing Kenobi and it never fails. It fails if you're up against destroyer droids or tanks. For droidekas, I just rush and it works.
Hes my new fav hero simply because he fits my defensive playstyle and has the best force push and block in the game. As u can (I and others have) fend off multiple opponents(4) by blocking if u have the skill.also his push can be upgraded and aimed up down or left to right.
His force push is currently bugged too. You have to actually aim the crosshair directly at an enemy to hit them with it or it'll completely miss. It's not an AoE like Luke's or Yoda's.
Hello there! this was a good vid! I am a huge obi wan fan myself and had trouble with him in HvV but loved him in GA. Thanks for the tips I’ll be way better at using him now. I kinda tried to use him like Luke and that didn’t work.
One thing I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention is his stamina regeneration. He does already have a pretty strong block, but in addition to that, his stamina appears to refill faster than any other hero's. Hoping that saber blocking bug gets fixed soon. I'm focusing on defense for Obi-Wan, so I'm using that reduced stamina drain while blocking card, and plan to give the critical deflection card for Defensive Rush a try as well. I'm really enjoying his playstyle in general!
I think you should have added that at first Obi Wan is slow with his lighter swings but becomes very fast. And is u start with a swing when running, he’s very fast.
I would love for you to redo the other hero guides they are things that introduced me to your content and i always like to find ways to improve myself.
Quick charge force push card and defensive rush damage card are very deadly in heros vs villains and defensive rush kills most troopers in one hit with the card
I think the reduced stamina consumption star card is really undervalued as of now. You should give it a try, it makes obi wan able to 1v1 most villains without breaking a sweat and you can clear full hallways with deflected shots. It really does feel like vader in focused rage mode
When I use charges push in H v V and you can’t move forward or side to side but you can move the direction of the push, if had sith jump over me as I start the charge up and I can spin around in time to still get the push off and it fill be a full charge by the time you turn around if you’re quick enough. *** NOTE*** this won’t work if you use the charge speed increase card.
Personally i run Jedi Resilience (cause why not), perfect defense (since obi wan is supposed to be a bit more on the defensive side) and jedi general (cause health on kill is DELICIOUS). Forward is REALLY good for GA but i just cant say no to his other cards since resilience is a MUST, health on kill cards are also a must (except for showdown) and i just really like being able to block all attacks and still have some stamina left.
Honestly the first time I got the chance to use Obi Wan on Naboo-I ran the one card that allows his stamina to drain slower, and I just held the hallway against 2 B2's, 2 heavies, One phasma, and a couple scouts...best 5 kill streak, but just sitting there-ever X3 ( of course I had a Commander and a heavy with me as well but they stood behind me ^~^ )
An Updated Darth Vader Guide would be good (if he’s changed much since launch.) I’ve just made him my Dark Side main villain and I’m doing great, but could always do with some tips
No mention of his lightsaber not making any sound when hitting a target? If not every time it’s definitely noticeable. Great guide, I enjoy playing him, just getting used to him like Grievous, once I do he’ll be great.
Guys i may have missed it in the video, but All Out Push at the moment can not hit anything below Obi-Wan's position, and you literally have to aim it. Just because there's a giant box on the ground, doesn't mean it will hit enemies in the air like Luke's Force Push. If you want to his someone in the air, you have to aim up at the enemy.
Emotes and skins I want: Anakin: “My powers have doubled since the last time we’ve met!” “You underestimate my power!” “You’re shorter than I expected.” “I’d rather not wait around.” Appearances: Jedi Knight: default Jedi Robes: Epic General Skywalker: Epic Count Dooku: Emotes: “Twice the pride, double the fall!” “I’ve been looking forward to this” “Do control your insolence” “There is no surrender!” Appearances: Sith Appreciate- default Sith Armor- Epic No cape- uncommon Sith pajamas- rare
Liked the video! I notice a pattern when he speaks. Almost every other sentence ends with a high/pausing tone, especially everytime he says battlefront 2 and the word team. it's hard to explain it haha.
Wait so Obi-Wan Kenobi, THE Master of Soresu (a defensive lightsaber form) inflicts the second highest lightsaber damage in the game and a seemingly weak defense, especially against lightsaber wielding opponents... Well done DICE it's clear you really did your research on the character.
I hope they buff his Mind Trick, so that it at least lasts a little longer and deactivates abilities mid use, like if Bossk is shooting his grenade launcher it will make him put it away. Also it would be nice if defensive rush knocked people down
There are a few Obi-Wan glitches that can be annoying. One time I got stuck his push animation, giving the enemy team an easy kill and pulling me very close to the dark side in the process. His lightsaber still doesn't make any noise when defeating an enemy, so it can be hard to transition between fighting one enemy and another. Mostly relevant to GA, but still a pain in HvV I got stuck in a crevice on Geonosis. Not sure if that's Obi or the map, but it ruined a good game for me. As you mentioned his lightsaber block is sometimes unreliable. Even when I know I've got stamina left I still get damaged from attacks. Usually not one on one, but against a group it definitely wacks out far too often.

What did you expect they suck at everything his block doesn't even work...

Also I’d recommend his card that makes him take less stamina from lightsabers and blasters. It’s really good,
I would, if the block was reliable. I've had instances where it simply refuses to block some blaster shots

When I use charges push in H v V and you can’t move forward or side to side but you can move the direction of the push, if had sith jump over me as I start the charge up and I can spin around in time to still get the push off and it fill be a full charge by the time you turn around if you’re quick enough. *** NOTE*** this won’t work if you use the charge speed increase card.
Personally i run Jedi Resilience (cause why not), perfect defense (since obi wan is supposed to be a bit more on the defensive side) and jedi general (cause health on kill is DELICIOUS).
Forward is REALLY good for GA but i just cant say no to his other cards since resilience is a MUST, health on kill cards are also a must (except for showdown) and i just really like being able to block all attacks and still have some stamina left.
Honestly the first time I got the chance to use Obi Wan on Naboo-I ran the one card that allows his stamina to drain slower, and I just held the hallway against 2 B2's, 2 heavies, One phasma, and a couple scouts...best 5 kill streak, but just sitting there-ever X3 ( of course I had a Commander and a heavy with me as well but they stood behind me ^~^ )
can we get a new one of these, he's defenatley changed
"What kind of man hides behind a mask?"
I wish I saw this 2 years ago
An Updated Darth Vader Guide would be good (if he’s changed much since launch.) I’ve just made him my Dark Side main villain and I’m doing great, but could always do with some tips
I'm late to the party. But either way, you just saved my Battlefront 2 Obi-Wan experience.
That light saber is SEXY AF
Quinn are u gonna announce the winner on insta or yt?
jack aly I believe he will dm the winner on Instagram.
No mention of his lightsaber not making any sound when hitting a target? If not every time it’s definitely noticeable. Great guide, I enjoy playing him, just getting used to him like Grievous, once I do he’ll be great.
I'm glad you brought up the block. I thought it was only happening to my friend and me.
my friend and I*
Guys i may have missed it in the video, but All Out Push at the moment can not hit anything below Obi-Wan's position, and you literally have to aim it. Just because there's a giant box on the ground, doesn't mean it will hit enemies in the air like Luke's Force Push. If you want to his someone in the air, you have to aim up at the enemy.
Can't wait for anakin, I really want a super offensive lightside lightsaber hero and i think anakin would fight that perfectly
Emotes and skins I want:
Anakin:
“My powers have doubled since the last time we’ve met!”
“You underestimate my power!”
“You’re shorter than I expected.”
“I’d rather not wait around.”
Appearances:

Jedi Robes: Epic
General Skywalker: Epic
Count Dooku:
Emotes:
“Twice the pride, double the fall!”
“I’ve been looking forward to this”
“Do control your insolence”
“There is no surrender!”
Appearances:
Sith Appreciate- default
Sith Armor- Epic
No cape- uncommon
Sith pajamas- rare
What about his card that allows you to charge up his force push faster?
The force push is more situational really. Best to either use that or the defensive rush damage buff
Liked the video! I notice a pattern when he speaks. Almost every other sentence ends with a high/pausing tone, especially everytime he says battlefront 2 and the word team. it's hard to explain it haha.
Wait so Obi-Wan Kenobi, THE Master of Soresu (a defensive lightsaber form) inflicts the second highest lightsaber damage in the game and a seemingly weak defense, especially against lightsaber wielding opponents...
Well done DICE it's clear you really did your research on the character.
I have been waiting please keep making these videos
I hope they buff his Mind Trick, so that it at least lasts a little longer and deactivates abilities mid use, like if Bossk is shooting his grenade launcher it will make him put it away. Also it would be nice if defensive rush knocked people down
0:08 i see what you did there
There are a few Obi-Wan glitches that can be annoying.
One time I got stuck his push animation, giving the enemy team an easy kill and pulling me very close to the dark side in the process.
His lightsaber still doesn't make any noise when defeating an enemy, so it can be hard to transition between fighting one enemy and another. Mostly relevant to GA, but still a pain in
HvV
I got stuck in a crevice on Geonosis. Not sure if that's Obi or the map, but it ruined a good game for me.
As you mentioned his lightsaber block is sometimes unreliable. Even when I know I've got stamina left I still get damaged from attacks. Usually not one on one, but against a group it definitely wacks out far too often.
You were right about one thing master ,the negotiations were short
So glad they added a tactical type hero... I feel like so many are button mashing and lucky placement
