"FN-2187 was trained since birth to serve the First Order as a soldier and highly-trained marksman. A skirmish on Jakku awakened his conscience and drove him down a different path, one that earned him the nickname Finn--and established him as a leader of the Resistance."

— In-game description

Finn is a Resistance Hero in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront II. He arrived on Tuesday, December 4, 2017, as part of the 1.0 Patch and The Last Jedi Season.

Overview

"Be Brave"

— Star Wars Battlefront II website

Finn is an amazing support hero for his team due to his ability to give most saber heros the block glitch aswell as invincibility. Although more vulnerable in close quarters, Finn can hold his own, and he works best when he sticks close to his squad and team. As a "highly-trained marksman," Finn can more easily take out enemies in close to medium ranges with his Deadeye ability that automatically locks onto enemies while firing his blaster.

His team support abilities extend from here with his Big Deal ability activate and deactivate in quick succesion to perform the finn glitch. Upon activating this ability, a massive circular radius opens up around Finn, and everyone within the radius, including Finn himself, is granted bonus health, damage reduction, no heat buildup for their blasters, and faster recharges for their used abilities.

Finn's final support-based ability is his Undercover Team. Best used for flanking and sneaking around enemy lines, Finn equips a Glie-44 blaster pistol for close quarters combat and hides his fellow teammates from enemy radars while also revealing nearby enemies. Those within the circular radius also run faster.

In-game Hints

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."

• Mechanics change: The health bonus from the Officer's Battle command, Yoda's Presence, and Finn's Big Deal will no longer stack.
  • If the player has health bonus active from the Officer and Finn or Yoda's is applied, the Officer's health bonus will be removed.
  • If the player has Finn or Yoda's health bonus active and the Officer's health bonus is applied, the Officer's health bonus will be ignored.
  • If the player has Finn or Yoda's health bonus active and Finn or Yoda's health bonus is applied, the new health bonus will be applied and the old one removed.
  • If Yoda has his Presence health bonus active and Finn applies his Big Deal health bonus to Yoda, Finn's health bonus will be ignored.
  • If Finn has his Big Deal health bonus active and Yoda applies his Presence health bonus to Finn, Yoda's health bonus will be ignored.
  • If Finn has Yoda's Presence health bonus active and activates Big Deal, Yoda's Presence health bonus will be removed and Big Deal will be applied.
  • If Yoda has Finn's Big Deal health bonus active and activates Presence, Finn's Big Deal health bonus will be removed and Presence will be applied. This was a huge balance feedback and frustration especially in big game modes. it should lower the impact of bonus health when both heroes are present.
