Star Wars Battlefront Hero System Explained

The average player will get "around two minutes as a Hero or Villain."

Star Wars Battlefront senior producer Jamie Keen has revealed more details about the game's Hero System in a new post on EA’s website.

Keen wrote about Luke Skywalker's Heavy Attacks and Force Pushes to control the crowds. Also Luke’s movement is varied and powerful, featuring a wide-sweeping, heavy attack with his Lightsaber that can take out large groups of enemies.

Keen also warns that the time as a Hero or Villain is limited, as your health will constantly decrease. You are able to extend that time and health by killing enemies though.

"Our goal was to give an average player around two minutes as a Hero or Villain," says Keen. "But if you’re good enough, you might stretch that to around five minutes. In theory, you could play as Luke Skywalker for a whole match, but that is extremely unlikely. That said, the gauntlet is thrown!"

Star Wars Battlefront is set to release on November 17.
