Star Wars: Battlefront 2 - Ranking EVERY Hero & Villain From Worst To Best

DARTH VADER'S ABILITIES

Focused Rage: Darth Vader deals more damage and can absorb more punishment.

Saber Throw: Vader hurls his lightsaber at enemies.

Force Choke: Vader uses his iconic Force choke to lift, damage, and drop enemies.

The Top 2 Characters were incredibly tricky to choose between, so if you think that Vader deserves the top spot, I won't argue with you!

Focused Rage means that Vader is even more of a tank than he was before, but in one of the latest patches it removed his ability to have unlimited stamina for the duration of this ability's active time. Saber Throw is not as effective as it was in Battlefront (2015) because it no longer has a strong lock-on feature - meaning you'll have to be fairly accurate to use the ability to its full potential.

Force Choke, Vader's signature move, was butchered from the very launch of this game. The ability has gone through three separate redesigns in the way it is to be used - the initial design being my favourite one, and also the most devastating. Regardless of its "nerf" it still remains a powerful weapon of Vader's; allowing you to pick enemies from the ground and drop them from ledges, or into harm's way.

Vader's health, and strength, is unparalleled, and he is useful in all game modes. It's rare for an individual enemy to take Vader down alone (since Rey was downgraded), so he is most vulnerable when multiple enemies attack him at once - but he still doesn't go down without a fight. If you want a tank, Vader is your tank... With a lightsaber!
