Anakin Skywalker - Star Cards Breakdown
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- Star Wars Battlefront 2 - In this video, I do an intensive breakdown of all 9 of Anakin Skywalker's star cards. Some cards are more than they seem, so the goal of this video is to inform everyone interested in learning how to get the most out of him while playing. This is my second star cards breakdown video, the first one being Kylo Ren last week. I plan on doing a star card breakdown like this for all of the heroes and villains eventually, with my next one being either Luke Skywalker or Darth Maul. I know the video went a little long, so I am including time stamps to help you find what you're looking for. Enjoy!

I prefer Tenacious, Attraction and Raw Strength.
The added health from Tenacious is a must have. Whenever I play as Anakin, I always end up taking a lot of damage in a short amount of time (likely because Anakin doesn't have any abilities or cards that provide damage reduction aside from the damage reduction you get while charging Heroic Might), especially compared to other high-health characters such as Vader or Grievous. And if I get down to low health, it will take a lot of kills to get my health back to a comfortable level, so that added health is a must.
Originally, I used Control the Force instead of Attraction, but after switching, I much prefer this card. The default pull isn't that great and I ended up missing the enemies at least 50% of the time when I used it. With Attraction, I can pull enemies from much further away, and as I've said many times before, range is the biggest weakness of a saber character and since Anakin doesn't have as many good ranged abilities as someone like Luke or Maul, I can't do well as Anakin without this card. While it's not quite as effective without the Control the Force card that boosts the base range, it's still quite effective.
As far as Raw Strength goes, Heroic Might is almost completely useless without it. Even though it's not an ability I use very much (I mostly play Supremacy, where there are fewer enemies that are more spaced out, so I'm rarely in a situation where I'm able to hit more than 1-3 enemies with it at a time; I also don't use Retribution much for the same reason), making it a one-hit kill on infantry (sans Heavys) is another card I can't do without.
I know a lot of people like the Massive Strikes and Steamroll cards, but I'm personally not a fan. Anakin's stamina isn't very good and his base abilities aren't good enough to make up for it. I'd rather have more stamina and do less damage with saber strikes than deal more damage with less stamina. But wait, you say, isn't that what the Steamroll card is for? Well, I've tried that card and I didn't have much luck with it. As I mentioned before, Anakin's abilities aren't very effective for enemies at range, aside from the pull, which, even with the added range, has a rather long cooldown time compared to other ranged attacks such as Vader and Maul's saber throws or Maul's spin attacks. So whenever my pull is on cooldown, I'm basically like Count Dooku in the sense that I'm completely powerless against enemies beyond close range (and I suck with Dooku for the most part). His block sucks. Not only is his default blocking stamina rather lackluster, but he's not very good at deflecting shots back at the shooter. And what good is extra swinging stamina when I can't defend myself well while being shot at? And if I lose a lot of health, it's hard to get back.
I appreciate that you put so much thought into these comments Carolina! Hope these videos are helpful for you or at least interesting 👍
That thumbnail is awesome man. 🤙
Thanks! Thumbnails are fun for me to make 🤷♂️ hope the video was helpful
@@killerdebit5709 definitely. I’m watching them all. Great stuff. Thanks for making them.
Great video, I was wondering how some of the cards worked this video explains them well.
Hey Rick, thanks for commenting I really appreciate that! Yeah my goal was to inform people about which cards best suit their playstyle 😁👍
Very good video, a Lot of details. Nice bro
Yeah it’s a little long but I was hoping to help anyone curious to know everything about each card. But thanks again Anja 🙏
Anakins load out is so fun because you can have your raw strength to one hit non heavys and the card that boosts your pull so you can one hit no heavyset and then have the card that boosts your base swing so you can one hit all non heavys with your swing a abilities.
I know right! Anakin is really really good. I appreciate you checking out all these guides I made. Glad they are helping 🙏
Amazing work bringing this immensely detailed video to me brother! I was seeking this kind of explanatory power for Star Card effects for a while & never found one so clear & concise as this one is! Thanks again.
Hey, it is my honor Poseidonc12! I felt the same way, which is one reason I started youtube because nobody made a video like that. Thanks for the kind words, and I hope you have a great day 🙏
I am really interested to see an in-depth exploration of Yoda’s Star Wars Battlefront II mechanics. Whenever I play as him, I get the feeling that his block is bugged, for example, blaster bolts from regular troops sometimes still damage him through it. He also releases his block momentarily at times when changing elevation, I’ve seen him slip down a tiny slope (admittedly not every slope) & lose his block momentarily even though I never released the block button. In the heat of battle, especially at low health, it just feels annoying to be killed by a few regular troops because of faulty mechanics.
@@poseidonc1259 my bad for replying late. Yeah I wanna cover Yoda more myself cuz I’ve noticed the same thing during my yoda killstreaks. I will definitely do a Yoda full breakdown 👍
Great breakdown as usual! Everything checked with my results as well. A suggestion to your distance tests is to use scoped weapons to measure distance, this is how I did in my tests. The Specialist main weapons have this feature, as well as Iden's Pulse Cannon. This way you can be sure if the change in distance is really accurate or not.
I didn’t even know you could do that with scoped weapons interesting 🤔. And thanks for checking out this video Rendar, especially since I made this video a long time ago
Nice vid man!
🙏thank you
There a hero/villain you’d like me to make a card breakdown for next? 🤔
Bruh this guy needs more credit, these thumbnails r too good 😂
That is very kind of you Seth thank you 🙏 I enjoy making thumbnails! Hope the video was helpful to you 👍
@@killerdebit5709 it was thank you very much for taking the time for a high quality vid
@@seth_navis yeah man no problem 👍
Nice video. I usually run with massive strikes, steamroller, and heroic might one kill card. But now I'm thinking about doing the heroic might one kill card, steamroller, and raw strength were he one kills people with pull. However with raw strength you need at least two people but in supremacy anakin usually is able to get that. I feel like that second set up o said, I could last a long time and have my abilities to help me if I'm in trouble due to them one killing or having a lot of damage to. What you think 🤔
Hey R B!! Thanks for checking out the video 🙏 Yeah, for your style, I’d recommend Massive Strikes & Raw Strength for sure. And then for your third card, I’d recommend either All of Them (which is the 1-hit pull card if you pull at least two), or I’d run Control the Force (wider range for heroic might) because that pairs very nicely with Raw Strength. That’s my recommendation for you 👍
Pressure also makes Anakin’s lunge longer
Didn’t know that 🤔
@@killerdebit5709 Daniel other talked about it, it makes landing Passionate strike so much easier
control the force increases retributions radius too btw
Does it really??? I never knew that 🤯
@@killerdebit5709 yeah it does I’m pretty sure
@@hypnotic_o you shoulda told me this before I made the video 🤦♂️😂😂jk
@@killerdebit5709 lmao 😭☠️
@@killerdebit5709 lmao um maybe. sometimes star cards effect multiple abilities even if they don’t say
goated vid
Hope it was helpful 👍
Attraction is a must have
Great card indeed! Really helps with the annoying “sky” characters as I call them, so jetpacks, boba and emperor
Thx for commenting! Hope the video was interesting for you 🙏
For final strike, does the initial hit go through the block like the final hit? And if he does passionate strike from behind it's initial strike damage + final hit + 40 damage extra? Or would the 40 extra damage count twice since he hits them twice (heroes vs villains).
I appreciate you commenting Orlando 🙏I think I see what your asking. So yes, both the initial hit and final hit both go through a block. And for extra damage from behind, that +40 only counts for regular lightsaber attacks from behind, passionate strikes damage is the same front or back. Hope that answers your questions 👍
@@killerdebit5709 Thank you so much!
@@orlandogonzalez2834 yeah no problem 👍
