Lando Calrissian

Lando Calrissian is a Rebel Alliance Hero in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront II. He was added to the first game in the Bespin Expansion Pack while being included at launch with the second game.

Star Wars Battlefront
"Hello, what have we here?"

- Intro Dialogue

Lando Calrissian is a Rebel Alliance Hero in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront.

Overview
Lando's unique trait is called "Fortune Trigger", which increases his chance of a critical hit as his trait goes up by killing enemy heroes and regular troops.

Level 1: 10% chance of landing a critical hit

Level 2: 20% chance of landing a critical hit

Level 3: 50% chance of landing a critical hit

Lando is equipped with the X-8 Night Sniper blaster pistol, which has a thermal vision feature that is activated by aiming down the sights.

Abilities
Lando has three abilities:
 * Power Blast: Activates a power bar that, when charged, allows Lando to deal increasing amounts of damage up to six times the normal amount. This ability has a slight homing aspect to it, and can be used to snipe across the map.
 * Shocking Trap: Lando disappears from enemy radar and drops a trap that appears to the enemy as a power up or hero token. If an enemy attempts to collect it, they are shocked. If they cannot escape the shock in time, they will die. Lando's trap can be spotted as his spins counter-clockwise and standard power ups spin in the clockwise direction. This ability deals 100 damage. Unlike the shock grenade, escaping Lando's trap is much harder, and requires more button mashing to escape.
 * System Disruption: Produces a shockwave around Lando. Any enemies and villains caught in the wave have their abilities and Star Cards put on cooldown and their weapons overheat. This won't work with heroes like Darth Vader or Emperor Palpatine. Heroes with blasters will have a faster cooldown time. This ability is based off of Disruption, a Star Card that appeared in the Bespin Expansion Pack alongside Lando.

Star Wars Battlefront II
Lando Calrissian returns in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront II, once again as a Hero for the Rebel Alliance.

Overview
Lando is a deceptive and slick hero. His abilities can be used to disable and stun targets, allowing for easier takedowns. He can also disappear from dangerous situations with the use of smoke, where he can wait for his next opportunity to strike.

Lando is at his best when he has his gadgets at the ready. He can trap enemies in a small area with his Disabler, leaving them extremely vulnerable to attack. He can also wipe out an entire enemy squad with his Sharp Shot, which locks on to multiple targets and can one-hit all the default trooper classes, or deal high damage to enemy reinforcements and heroes. His Smoke Grenade can also be used to hide Lando from enemy vision, although Lando can still see enemy targets with the use of his X-8 Night Sniper.

General
"All heroes can dodge or evade. Use this to avoid damage and open distance between you and your enemy."

- First hint

"Dodge is most effective at avoiding lightsaber attacks and opening space between you and the attacker."

- Second hint

"Heroes can only block attacks from the front. Try to position around them and hit them from behind to be effective."

- Third hint

"Each time a blocking hero deflects damage or swings their lightsaber, they lose stamina. When out of stamina, heroes are unable to deflect or trigger a closing strike."

- Fourth hint

"Heroes have strengths and weaknesses. Hone your skills by playing Arcade."

- Fifth hint

"Use Star Cards to ensure your hero experience is personally tailored."

- Sixth hint

"Heroes will only regenerate a limited amount of health after taking damage."

- Seventh hint

Specific
"Lando can use his X-8 Night Sniper's thermal scope to see and engage his enemies through smoke."

- First hint

"Lando’s Disabler will scramble the radar of enemies nearby and mark their position for Lando and his allies."

- Second hint. This hint mistakenly claims that Lando's allies can also spot marked enemies, but they are marked only for Lando.

"Lando is best played cautiously, distracting and ambushing his enemies before ducking into the shadows"

- Third hint
