Top 10 Best Star Wars: Battlefront Heroes

The Top Ten

Dengar

Okay, so this man is an absolute beast. His gun is amazing, especially with that x2 bullet reload or whatever it's called. His charge is better than Han's (in my opinion), even though he does stop at the end.
It's cool that instead of a bump with the end of your gun, he kicks them and kills them. He is just as fast as Luke and Nien Nunb. My favorite part about him is that bomb-spread thing. It is so overpowered, it's almost unfair.
He is just amazing with his armor upgrade trait.

You can rush, he can get a defense buff, and he is good against Chewbacca (aka the strongest hero). Dengar is the strongest villain, plus his melee attack is powerful.
You can get on top of the ship on Tatooine by jumping and rushing, similar to Bossk. You can super jump by using the dioxis grenade combined with jumping.
Darth Vader

Darth Vader is a Star Wars character who serves as the main antagonist of the original Star Wars trilogy and as the central figure in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, where he is known by his original name, Anakin Skywalker. Initially trained as a Jedi Knight, Anakin defects to the Sith under the influence... read more

Okay, I ranked him lower than Luke, and most would disagree with that. He is just slow. Like, really slow. That isn't the reason he is 4th and not higher, though.
So, he's a lightsaber character, just like Luke. And like Luke, he is a melee character, but he does have two ranged attacks, unlike Luke, who really only has one. His Saber Throw is pretty cool, and his Force Choke, in my opinion, is the best power that he has because it recharges so quickly.
His power-strike, or whatever it's called, is pretty good against a hero if you have them in a corner, just like Luke's.

With the post-Scarif patch, Vader is an absolute tank in tight spaces and can use his underrated jump to close distances. His jump also allows you to prey upon unsuspecting opposition, combined with his ranged attacks.
Bossk

Bossk is a fictional Trandoshan bounty hunter in the Star Wars universe. He first appeared in the 1980 film Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. Bossk is known for his scaly reptilian appearance, his rivalry with other bounty hunters such as Boba Fett, and his proficiency in tracking targets... read more

I love Bossk. He is great on almost any map, and during Heroes vs. Villains, his Toxic Escape is overpowered. The Relby is a great gun for him and packs some good damage.
The thermal vision is a great card since you can always use it, and it makes him run faster. The micro grenades are great for clearing out heroes camping under Leia's shield.
Bossk is easily the best villain/hero, and if used correctly, he can wreck any hero and still have almost full health by the end.

Easy. His gun is like a sniper version of the DL-44. His toxic escape is great for enclosed spaces and outdoors. The thermal detonator launcher is also great for all-around situations, and his predatory instincts power is fantastic on Endor and Hoth because of the camo.
Don't even get me started on his speed and jump. A great character for every map.
Luke Skywalker

Luke Skywalker is a fictional character appearing as the central protagonist of the original Star Wars film trilogy and as a supporting character in the sequel trilogy of the Star Wars universe created by George Lucas. He is portrayed by Mark Hamill. Luke is a Jedi Knight who plays a crucial role in... read more

I mainly like him because of how swift and how high he can jump. Yes, I know he has the lowest amount of health of all the heroes, but I practice with him a lot, and I'm really good with him.
A sprint to a jump, and then a Force Push while in mid-air, is the best thing about him. You can use the Force Dash to go really high or really far if you're in a bad situation. His power-strike works just as well as Vader's.
I understand that in a 1v1, Vader is more than likely going to win, just because he has so much health.

I think Luke should be first, with Vader at a close second, because of his amazing speed and his lightsaber being so strong. His Star Card abilities are really powerful too.
Nien Nunb

The ultimate hero for any troll. One of the most hilarious things to do in the entire game is to lead Vader or Palpatine down a hallway or corridor and trap them in your proximity bombs and turret.
There is nothing more satisfying than watching big bad Vader flail around helplessly, trying to avoid your bombs and get away from your turret at the same time.
By far, my favorite hero to play.

When the Outer Rim DLC was released, and I started playing as him and Greedo, I thought Nien Nunb was so good. But as I've gotten used to all the characters and gotten better at the game overall, I still think he is good.
The DH-17 is the gun I usually use as a normal trooper, as well as the EE-3. His turret is pretty good, and he makes a really good partner with either Lando or Leia.
Boba Fett

Boba Fett is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He is a bounty hunter who appears in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, working for Darth Vader and Jabba the Hutt. Boba Fett also stars in his own series, The Book of Boba Fett, which premiered in 2021.

He can fly, but what else is so special about him? I think everyone admits that his flamethrower is absolute garbage. I do like the wrist rocket, however. His EE-3 is actually my favorite part about his character.
He is my second favorite character in the movies, but I don't think he's as cool in the game as he is in the movies.

His wrist rocket is amazing, and his jet pack is awesome. His flamethrower is pretty good too if you know how and when to use it. The only problem is that it's harder to aim his gun compared to most others.
Greedo

Greedo, also known as Greedo the Young, is a fictional character from the Star Wars franchise. He was portrayed by Paul Blake, with Maria De Aragon appearing in some close-up pickup shots in Star Wars (1977). Greedo is a Rodian bounty hunter best known for his encounter with Han Solo in the Mos Eisley... read more

Greedo was my favorite for a while, until Bespin came out and I re-thought all the heroes. I like him because his gun is just about as good as Han's, and he is the fastest hero in the game.
He has that Sense ability, which is so overpowered during Heroes vs. Villains or Hero Hunt, especially on indoor maps. That Fire Charge thing that targets up to five people is absolutely beast during Heroes vs. Villains.
As for his grenades, I honestly couldn't care less about them.
Princess Leia Organa

Princess Leia Organa, later known as General Leia Organa, is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. She was portrayed in the films by actress Carrie Fisher. Leia is one of the central characters in the original Star Wars trilogy and plays a prominent leadership role in the Resistance in the... read more

Leia is my favorite character, and I think she is the best. Come on, with Trooper Bane, a shield, and supply drops, she is by far the best. Don't judge just because she's the only female - she still kicks butt.

Her shield is amazing, and her Trooper Bane is so overpowered if you camp with it and the shield. I also like her bodyguards and her healing abilities.
Chewbacca

Chewbacca, nicknamed "Chewie," is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk and serves as the co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon. Chewbacca is portrayed by Peter Mayhew in the Original Trilogy and is known for his loyalty to Han Solo.

I haven't actually played as him yet, but I've watched videos of him, and I don't think he's that great of a hero. Now, I'm not saying he's a bad character or that they did a bad job on his abilities. I just don't think he quite compares to some of the others.

Chewbacca has been my favorite ever since I first watched Star Wars, and in the game, he has just as much health as Vader, possibly more. His power shot is very overpowered. I think Chewbacca should be number one.
Jyn Erso

Jyn Erso is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. She is portrayed by English actress Felicity Jones in the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Jyn is a rebel soldier who plays a key role in stealing the plans for the Death Star.

Okay, my opinion here:
Rifle mode = overpowered.
Sonic Imploder = badass.
Truncheon Surge = really lethal.
She is really good, no doubt about it. And she comes with the best DLC. Vote Jyn.

Jyn Erso is, in my opinion, a better Dengar. Her rifle configuration takes heroes to half health in three seconds! But I still think Lando should be on this list.

Publicly, he appears as Senator Palpatine, then Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, and later as Emperor Palpatine. He is mainly portrayed by Ian McDiarmid... read more

So overpowered. He's basically the only guy I use. Nail someone with lightning, force dash away from the battle, spam heal/spawn bodyguards, and repeat.

He has an amazing lightning ability that destroys heroes in about 15 seconds. His chain lightning can kill about five infantry players, and his force dash gets you out of trouble in a second.
But his health is terrible - he can die in about 30 seconds. He should be higher on the list.
BATTERS07
Han Solo

Han Solo is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. In the original film trilogy, he and his co-pilot, Chewbacca, become involved in the Rebel Alliance's fight against the Galactic Empire. Portrayed by Harrison Ford, Han Solo was also the focus of the 2018 film Solo: A Star Wars Story, in which... read more

I think he is a great character because his Lucky Shot does quite a bit of damage to heroes, and they can't block it. I use his Shoulder Charge at the beginning of the match to get out into the field and gain an advantage, because you can get the best spots on the field.
His Rapid Fire is really good if you want to take out a large number of troopers. His Lucky Shot also works well against troopers.
I think his DL-44 is also really good.

Lando Calrissian

Lando Calrissian is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He was portrayed by Billy Dee Williams in The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker. Donald Glover played a younger version of the character in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

I love Lando. You can just camp out and destroy people, especially Boba Fett, with his power blast. When the enemy gets too close, you can use the disruption to confuse and frustrate your enemies.

He has the best and most useful abilities, and he is really fun to play as.
Darth Maul

Darth Maul is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. Trained as Darth Sidious's first apprentice, he serves as a Sith Lord and wields a distinctive double-bladed lightsaber. Darth Maul first appeared in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and later featured in Star Wars: The Clone Wars... read more

I love him because of the double-bladed lightsaber. I especially like his quickness and his custom starfighter. He also has a powerful probe droid that shoots and tracks down enemies.
That's why I like Darth Maul.
