"Kylo uses lethal lightsaber attacks and Force powers to destroy enemies up close."

— In-game description

Kylo Ren is a First Order Hero in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront II. He is the son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, the nephew of Luke Skywalker, and the grandson of Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker.

Overview

"Be Brutal"

— Star Wars Battlefront II website

Kylo Ren is a standout hero on the battlefield. He is maneuverable, almost able to keep pace with Darth Maul. One of his more notable traits is his relatively high DPS. His Frenzy ability makes him strike quickly and can one-hit most of the default trooper classes or deal high damage to enemy heroes. His Frenzy can also chain to three separate targets. He can stop enemies in their tracks with Freeze and/or pull them to him using Pull. He works extremely well when applying his crowd control abilities to open up enemies for his allies.
