The Dark Side Villains of the SWBF series
Overview
In the Star Wars: Battlefront Series, major heroes and villains are unlockable during matches by attaining a certain kill or point total. Only one player per team may control the hero (usually the best, unless the distribution is set on random), except of course for those playing on Assault Mode on Mos Eisley. The heroes have very powerful weapons (e.g. Lightsabers) and are harder to kill than normal enemies The majority of heroes and villains carry a lightsaber for primary weapon. In Battlefront 1, this weapon is a one strike kill while in Battlefront 2, it requires on average two strikes to kill a unit.. Instead of having a health bar like normal infantry, the heroes have a lightsaber of health that slowly goes down, but can be recharged by killing adversaries. Also, when a hero is on the battlefield, the music will change to a different song that plays until the hero is defeated. Each hero has a theme song (with the exception of some heroes like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Darth Vader). All in all, heroes and villains are very effective to have in battle as they can tip the balance in your favor, and one may feel very powerful when playing as one. Unfortunately, they may not always be useful for an unbalanced map. For Example Rebels have Chewbacca as their hero whist the Empire has Darth Vader , which could make the map far more challenging for the player and their team. Despite this they can be extremely useful in the game.
