i will go over the basics and what to do with every hero in hero showdown assuming no one picked blasters or palpatine sorry for my english i may misspell some words, english is not my native language Parry in order to parry you need to get close to an enemy and keep holding right click and the moment he starts the attack animation press left click while still pressing right click, doing that will block his attack and also attack him and is very easy to combo against an unexpirienced oponent advanced parry you can also parry special abilities but the timing is a bit more tricky, you need to press left click the moment you see your stamina bar gets lower if you see someone jumping and attacking you its a 50/50 chance, either they know what theyre doing and you should defend cause parry would just not work, or its a noob that saw a pro do it and it will be easy to parry, my suggestion is to try and parry one time and if you dont get damaged hes a noob there are also dashes, so you can dash behind an enemy and attack or dash back and then forward to make your enemy dash towards you and attack him from behind. you can do tons of combos with that combo parry, newer players will sometimes keep attacking you after you parry so you can chain the parry and oblitirate them hero tactics disclaimer this isnt about star cards and also yapper warning Light Side Luke: if youre far from an enemy run up to them and when you think youre close enough do a small jump and press Q this will hopefully catch your enemy offgaurd and press F and dash until you reach them. besides that just press F when youre too close and if you see the enemy not blocking or in the middle of an attack animation press E when youre close and Q when youre far Rey: while rey is a bad charecter in the movies, in battlefront shes pretty good, dont press E tho, its usually useless. play regurly with no abilities until the enemy uses all of his abilities that can knock you off of your feet (e.g. maul's choke hold, dukous lightning) and then press F and then Q and charge towards your enemy and circle around them until you either hit them or the ability stops, if you hit them, immideitly press left click to double attack and if youre luck you might even be able to attack a third time before thay get up Yoda: this is really similar to luke on the F ability but the Q ability is a little different, the more attacks and abilities you block, the stonger your Q ability will get, also keep in mind that it drains a lot of stamina from your enemy. the E ability is a heal, do this when youre at low health or youre teamate is at low health and youre close to them Obi-Wan: space jesus is a good hero, and his tactics are similar to rey. press E whenever you want (obviously hit the enemy) and it will block them from using abilities, so just press F and charge at them and circle around them, when you hit the enemy, immidietly press left click but dont try to chain it into another attack cause its not gonna make the enemy fall. press Q when your enemy isnt blocking or in the middle of an attack animation Anakin: press Q or E when the enemy isnt blocking or in the middle of an attack animation, Q pulls the enemy closer and has a large range and E pushes him. pressing F is an attack that cannot be deffended but its a little slower so beware cause you can get parried or dogded or the enemy can just use an ability. also keep in mind he dosent have a lot of stamina. anakin has a special ability that he can use after he does a lot of actions that give battlepoints such as hitting and killing enemies (i think thats how it works), where he lifts up anyone in the area that isnt blocking or in the middle of an attack animation and chokes them for a while and then pushes them away from him. Dark Side Vader: vader has really low stamina but really good abilities. the Q ability is a lightsaber throw, aim at the chest of the enemy and press Q, they will block it the first time but it will come back and it is really hard to dodge. press E when on low health and/or no stamina. press F when the enemy isnt blocking or in the middle of an attack animation, this will choke them for about 3 seconds, if youre close enough, just start spamming left click until they get up, if not, dash towards them and then spam left click Kylo: ben swollo learned from his grandad and his moveset is similar. pressing Q when the enemy isnt blocking or in the middle of an attack animation is a pull move which kylo can perform mid-air. pressing Q when the enemy isnt blocking or in the middle of an attack animation freezes the enemy in place for a second or so and then makes him drop on the floor. pressing E makes sorta dash twords the enemy youre looking at and attack him about 4 storng attack that are hard to block and almost impossible to parry, you can also chain this with any one of his other abilittie, using it while the enemy is on the ground or frozen. kylo also has low stamina Maul: pressing Q is exactly like vaders lightsaber throw. pressing F is exactly like lukes f ability just different animation. pressing E when the enemy isnt blocking or in the middle of an attack animation chokes (but unlike vaders choke you can attack him in this time) and then throws him away and then you need to press F and dash until you reach him Dukou: dukou is my main and hes pretty op if you have the right cards. pressing Q when the enemy isnt blocking or in the middle of an attack animation is a lightning attack but with much smaller range than most other abilities like this one. dukou has a lot of stamina and 3 dashes instaed of the normal 2. pressing F makes the enemy youre looking at take more damage and have less max regeneration (i think) and it intimidates makes the screen just a little harder to see so its sort of an advantage? it intimidates noobs also. pressing E makes your attacks quicker and makes them drain less stamina, this could be good when launching a barrage of attacks when your enemy is at low health Grivious: ik i probably spelled it wrong. pressing Q while looking at an enemy is an attack that if it hits, drops the enemy down but pros can parry it. pressing E is really useless against lightsabers most of the time, do it when at low health and mid range from the enemy. pressing F makes you crawl on the floor quickly and take less damage, dont worry about abilities knocking you out (e.g. anakins pull) cause they dont work on you at this state, this is similar to obi wans F ability, charge towards the enemy and circle them until you hit and then press F again. hero counters im only gonna cover some of the heros and the abilities cause most of them is just blocking or dashing backwards. lukes F ability: when a luke does this they usually do it to certian direction, either left or right and try to only slightly touch you, the counter is to look about 45 degrees at the direction of the ability and press the moment you hear the lightsaber clash press left click while truning another 45 degrees. yodas F ability: pretty much the same anakins F ability: either dash backwards or keep pressing right click and attack him back the moment you take damage, that way both of you take damage, do whatever you think is right based on how much health you have left and how much he has anaking E ability: the ability has a chance to delay (not sure if its a bug or a feature) and when it does, either use an ability or dash towards him and attack him for about 2 seconds cause then the ability will happen mauls F ability: the same as luke kylos E ability: try to block all of the attacks, DO NOT try to parry! you will probably land a hit but you will take massive (low taper fa- sorry sorry) damage and while a perfect parry is possible, it is very hard. grivious Q ability: parry the moment you hear the lightsaber clash. how to look like a pro pressing G turns off your lightsaber, and doing so at the start of the match and when reloading stamina makes you look like a pro. also when you travel some where. always do little jump attacks and then immidetly turn your lightsaber back off... damn i really expected this part to be longer friendly tips 1. dont put blaster or palpatine unless the other team has done so or its endgame and you have no choice 2. respect the 1v1. 3. write in chat something like "1v1 no blasters pls" at the start of every match 4. be nice and help noob plyers learn (thats why i made this guide!) 5. curse only if the other team puts blasters or palps Hope i helped you with the returning of the game, i figured there are gonna be a lot of new players that want to play as their favorite hero and die all the time or dont know why ppl are mad at them so i wrote this... also cuz i was bored af
