SWBF2 Character Rating Guide (Scale 1-10, 10 being highest/best) Republic: Clone Trooper: Rating-8 Why?: The clone trooper is versatile since his weapon can fire long range or short range, also he carries thermal detonators that are useful in a group of enemy soldiers Heavy Trooper: Rating-4 Why?: Though the heavy trooper is good against tanks, it is horrible against a soldier. Its rockets don’t explode so if you miss then nothing. Clone Sharpshooter: Rating-6 Why?: The sharpshooter’s sniper rifle is good at long range (duh) but the only problem is is that the color of the bullet only blends in on one level, otherwise the enemy knows where you are (that level is Mygeeto). Clone Engineer: Rating-6 Why?: The Engineer’s shotgun is good when really close up, it makes one hit kills close up. They aren’t good at long range but the det-packs are good for assaulting a group of guys or setting a trap. Clone Commander: Rating-5 Why?: The chain gun is good but the problem is that it has a delayed fire and it can miss if your too far away from your target. Also the commander has some special weapons that aren’t that useful. The rally thing just raises defense (not by much) and the recon droid is pointless unless the enemy is stupid. Jet Trooper: Rating-7 Why?: The EMP rocket is good because it’s as powerful as the regular rocket launcher and has two rockets between reloads. The jet trooper is good for getting to high standpoints to confuse your enemy. My only issue is that it only has thermal detonators as a secondary weapon. Republic over all rating: 6 CIS: Super Battle Droid: Rating-4 Why?: This droid is the one that makes little kids go “Oh no!” even though there’s nothing to fear. The Super Battle Droid has a terrible primary weapon, which is worse then all the other regular troopers, and its wrist rockets have the aim of a cross-eyed 3 year old. Also, the shape is stupid. Assault Droid: Rating-6 Why?: Surprisingly, this rocket launcher actually explodes on impact, nice touch. The Assault droid other then the exploding rockets has the same abilities as any other rocket launcher guy. Assassin Droid: Rating-4 Why?: Rightly when I see a bright red streak of light zoom by my head I can find who shot it. Just as the sharpshooter, this droid has a bright bullet. Also, it’s weak against bullets… sad since its made out of metal huh? Droid Engineer: Rating-5 Why?: Same as the clone engineer just weaker against bullets (as always). Magnaguard: Rating-7 Why?: This thing is cool. Its rapid rockets are good at killing many guys in one area and same goes with its radiation launcher. Also, it has good revenge with the neuro poison because if you use it right before you die, you’re taking the guy that killed you with you. The cons of this guy is that his rockets have bad aim. Droideikas: Rating-4 Why?: Is the name Japanese? Well the drodeika has issues with defense. Though it has a shield, it doesn’t last long so when the shields not up and guys are shooting at you, you’re dead. Also, ball mode make your guy vulnerable and is the only way you can move over 1 foot in one day. Overall CIS rating: 5 Rebels!: Rebel Soldier: Rating-8 Why?: This guy rocks for long range and short range. He is good for almost every level. Even though he has the same equipment as the clone trooper, he’s still a rebel who rocks (by the way I put an exclamation point on Rebels because they’re the best team) Rebel Vanguard: Rating-6 Why?: Well I can’t say much because I stay away from rocket launchers and all the servers I play on do Republic vs CIS. But I can say is that it’s the same as any other rocket launcher. Rebel Marksman: Rating-7 Why?: As the only women in the game (other then heroes), this girl needs to be as sneaky as possible. That explains the yellow bullets which blend in well with a lot of levels (also it’s dull yellow not neon). Rebel Smuggler: Rating-6 Why?: Well I don’t know why they’re called smugglers but I do know that they are strong and good on the battle field. (like most engineers) Bothan Spy: Rating-10 Why?: In my eyes it’s the best player in the game (other then heroes). The stealth mode on this guy makes great sneak attacks and the incinerator is great to attack with because it’s somewhat invisible. Also the regeneration is good to help your buddies. The time bombs are good to top off a large scale sneak attack. Wookie Warrior: Rating-4 Why?: First, he’s kind of slow. Second, his weapons can miss easily. Finally, his secondary weapons aren’t good. Not much to say about him other then he’s not the best choice but he’s not the worst (he is good for frontal assault with many men around him helping). Overall Rebel rating: 7 Empire: Stormtrooper: Rating-8 Why?: Basically the same reason as the rebel soldier. I’m not sure but I think the stormtrooper has more defense due to armor. Shock Trooper: Rating-7 Why?: This is the better type of rocket launcher. The rockets can lock on to ships, vehicles and people which is good since most of the time the rockets have bad aim. Scout Trooper: Rating-6 Why?: Basically same as sharpshooter, it’s neon green. It’s obvious but it’s a little less obvious on some levels. Imperial Engineer: Rating-6 Why?: Same as rebel smuggler, its good on the battle field and is good for quick fixing. Imperial Officer: Rating-4 Why?: The weapons aren’t that great. The sonic blaster is weak and the mortar launcher is just ok. Also, rage and the recon droid don’t help much. Dark Trooper: Rating-7 Why?: The shock blast is great against multiple enemies because it functions the way force lightning does. Though the dark trooper has a jet pack, it is not used for height, it’s used for distance quickly. The jet pack flies the dark trooper over the level fast but the trooper has weak armor and not many special attacks. Overall Empire rating: 6.5 (Please review this FAQ)
