If you’ve ever wanted to play as Darth Vader in Star Wars Battlefront, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will help you unlock the full potential of this character by introducing you to the best weapons and techniques to use in battle. From Heavy Attack to Force Choke, from Saber Throw to Focused Rage, we’ll cover it all.

Force Choke

For those who want to play as the fearsome Sith, you should learn how to use the Force Choke. This ability will use your own strength in the Force to hold your enemies in mid-air. As your health decreases, your enemies will gasp for air. You can use this attack in conjunction with force lightning to deal massive damage. This attack is an entertaining one, and will be especially useful during Hero Assault and Coruscant – Operation: Knightfall.

Heavy Attack

When playing as Darth Vader in Star Wars battlefront, you can utilize his new Heavy Attack move set. This attack gives you the advantage of being able to cut down several enemies at one time. You can use the Force Choke to grab several enemies at once, and he can also use his lightsaber to hurl it at ground troops or air vehicles. Both Luke and Darth can lock their lightsabers together.

In Star Wars Battlefront, you can use your lightsaber to deliver a deadly blow to multiple opponents. You can also use the Force Choke to dispatch multiple opponents at once, which allows you to be more precise when attacking. However, keep in mind that the heavy attack does not interrupt the Force ability of other heroes. You should also know that you can’t use Force abilities on characters with Light Attack, since they have a weaker version of it.

Saber Throw

When playing as Darth Vader in Star Wars Battlefront, you will have the ability to use a saber throw. This ranged attack will allow you to throw a lightsaber 50% further than normal, and the saber will not stop on impact, so it will return and continue to deal damage. This ability will be extremely helpful when sniping an enemy with very low health.

Darth Vader is an Imperial hero, and the aforementioned Force Choke will let you strike multiple enemies with a single attack. Darth Vader also has the ability to unleash concentrated Rage, which turns him into a killing machine. With his two abilities, he can also strangle multiple enemies with the Force Choke, which reduces the amount of damage they take by 25% and allows you to throw a lightsaber vertically, if you want. As a result, he’s considered one of the best hero-slaying characters in Star Wars Battlefront.

Focused Rage

You can take down enemy heroes and units using the powerful light saber as Darth Vader. In BF 2015, his Force Choke ability did nothing to help you, but now it gives you 80% more damage reduction than before. This makes him a great choice in close range combat and for indoor objective points. Moreover, with his new Saber Throw ability, you can even block shots from long distances.

If you want to maximize damage on your enemies, play as a melee character with a lightsaber. Darth Vader’s special attack, Focused Rage, can give you the ultimate blow. It will boost your damage while absorbing even more. This ability also works in conjunction with your favorite star card, Furious Resilence. Combined with Furious Rage, this damage-dealing ability can make your enemies fall back on your deflected lightsaber defense.
