"You will know the power of the Dark Side."

— Intro Dialogue

Darth Vader, also known as Lord Vader, is a playable Hero character in Star Wars Battlefront. Two of his abilities are shared with his son, Luke Skywalker. He is voiced by Matt Sloan.

Overview

Lord Vader is a menacing presence to behold on the battlefield, the sound of his breathing apparatus combined with his lightsaber cutting down foes is enough to strike fear into any insurgent. His mask glows with the hue of his blade on any battlefield that he enters.

His omniscience emanates as he takes objectives, and clears the path for minions and allies.

Darth Vader is a powerful, close quarters Hero but can have trouble closing distances purely based on agility. His jumping ability plays an important role in closing the gaps between enemies. In close range, Vader's abilities are very destructive to his foes. However, he is much slower than other heroes.

Abilities

Darth Vader has four powerful abilities:

• Heavy Attack: A powerful sweeping attack, intended to strike down multiple close-ranged enemies at the same time.
• Force Choke: Darth Vader uses the Force to choke enemies and suspend them in the air. This only targets one enemy.
• Saber Throw: Darth Vader uses the Force to sling his Lightsaber across long distances, using it to cut down enemies. Saber Throw tends to throw from the hip, not the arm, so aim upwards or float a little.
• Deflected Shot: Darth Vader can deflect blaster fire from enemy units with his lightsaber, for a short time. This originally only lasted for 4 seconds, but an update increased it to 8.
