"Padawan to Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker became a Jedi Knight during the Clone Wars. Secretly married to Padmé Amidala, he was the biological father of Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker. Becoming A Jedi Knight, he betrayed Kenobi, becoming Darth Vader"
— In-game description

Anakin Skywalker is a Galactic Republic Hero in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront II.[1] He arrived on February 27, 2019, as part of The Chosen One Update.[2][3]

Overview

As the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker is a powerhouse. A largely offensive hero, Anakin channels his emotions and inner conflict into his Force powers and abilities, and despite still being on the light side, Anakin can momentarily tap into the dark side with his unique ability Retribution.

Anakin's Passionate Strike ability deals high damage to the enemy hit by it. The Passionate Strike also breaks an enemy's guard, allowing Anakin to deal damage to lightsaber heroes blocking him.

Anakin brings enemies to him with his Pull Dominance, where enemies fall at his feet and take damage, allowing Anakin to finish them off with his melee attacks.

Anakin unleashes a massive burst of power all around him in a circular radius with his Heroic Might ability. Anakin can increase the range of Heroic Might with the more enemy players damage him (though Anakin also takes less damage while charging up Heroic Might), allowing Anakin to maximize its range affect more enemies.

Finally, Anakin taps slightly into the dark side with his unique, fourth ability: Retribution. When he and nearby allies take damage, Anakin's Retribution charges up. When Retribution is used, Anakin uses the Force to grasp and choke all enemies around him, dealing a high amount of damage to those caught in his punishing grip.

Known Issues

Heroic Might will always fail to hit enemies in range if Anakin uses it while his back is touching a wall, and there's a low ceiling above him. If you think you might be in such a spot, the easiest way to guarantee you'll hit enemies, is to quickly turn to face the wall instead, and then release Heroic Might as that makes it work. This is not the only case where Heroic Might fails, but it's the only one known to be 100% reproducible.

Also Heroic Might can be interrupted upon activation leading Anakin into a bad state where he can't sprint, jump, attack, or use abilities at all, leaving him defenseless. This effect persists for a short while, and after that he's back to normal and Heroic Might is refunded so it can be used immediately. If you die or respawn during this effect, when respawning Anakin will be back to normal.

Another one for Heroic Might, if you tap its button too quickly, Heroic Might might enter charge mode even if you aren't holding the button. If you tap the button again it'll release Heroic Might, so this issue isn't so bad (the same happens to Obi-Wan's All-Out Push).

Retribution can be interrupted upon activation leading Anakin into an even worse bad state where he stops being able to do almost anything. This is more notorious because it won't fix itself until you use Retribution again, which can take a really long while. Reports indicate sometimes not even that can fix the issue. Dying and Respawning fix this issue though.

Retribution and Heroic Might grant Anakin 90% Damage Reduction and immunity to forced movement effects, paralyzation and being knocked down. However, since 2019, these perks don't last as long as the abilities themselves, and they also have a small delayed start. This means that if enemies hit Anakin just as he activates the abilities, or in the final moments of the abilities' durations, they can take advantage to deal full damage to him, knock him down, push or pull him, immobilize him and even cancel the usage of the abilities altogether.

Pull Dominance, Retribution and Heroic Might, as many other abilities from other heroes, can fail to apply their movement/immobilization effects while still dealing damage, or fail to damage enemies while still applying the movement/immobilization effects, or even fail to both damage and apply effects to enemies in range. Besides the first issue mentioned in this list, no other specific situation is known to produce these undesired effects, so for now it's still a mystery and can be labeled as a random bug.
