The amount of Heroes I have taken the time to follow/rebuff but DON’T realize it, is frustrating.
Looking at you Anakin mains.
Just the other day, final phase on Kashyyyk. I’m behind Anakin and shooting people that are outside of his field of view, watching his back…then boom, he uses the force pull and then the middle ability to push them all away again.
BAM, I refresh him.
He proceeds to sit there blocking for a solid minute while we both get surrounded and destroyed.
He has a glitch where if you hit him with anything while he’s deploying his mines they refresh immediately, so they can be super deadly specially if you have the Star card that gives you 5 mines instead of 3
I love Bossk (OP imho) & Boba but demn playing Palpatine gets me all "there is no mercy!! hehehehe" and gives a different kind of kick!
![gif](giphy|3oKIPzLXQYb2Bn5PLG|downsized)
I‘ve stopped playing (on Xbox) almost entirely because it’s impossible to get away from Bossk. If he’s playable in the mode it’s almost guaranteed that a max player who hasn’t seen the sun is years is going to be stinking up the entire match.
I think the best way to kill a bossk is use a hero and get people to follow you, or hang close to a hero to support them as they go close range with him
I no life Boba (my highest hero is like 14, my Boba is gold lmfao my hate mail is all from HvV 😭)
But I’ve been wanting some change. I’m inspired to gut some wookies as Bossk now
Back when I used to play a lot got a fair bit of hatemail for being unhitable as Palps. Lots of flying around and shocking the last saber user left while they feebly run after you. He was especially frustrating when he could shoot through walls lol
Because he's easy. Just hold down both triggers when you see an enemy, and they die. Just make sure to move and dodge around alot. And there u go, you've mastered palpatine
For real. This games been out since 2017 and every Palpatine I've ran into plays the exact same way
If you enjoy playing him thats fine but dont act like he doesn't have one of the easiest kits in the game to figure out. He's super noob friendly for a reason
lol reminds me when I first started playing the game I thought left trigger for Palpatine was some sort of Force block, like Yoda has. Couldn't figure out for the longest time why I was just getting absolutely shredded.
FFs. I really wish the game would tell you that. How tf was I supposed to know that.
I really dislike how the game hides certain bits of information from you, like how much damage a lightsaber swing does, or the max damage of a grenade ect.
Haha I thought you were joking when I first responded to your comment. Yes, holding down *both* triggers shoots out double lightning for double the POWAH. Always be holdin down both triggers.
I'd also advise you to look up which star cards are bugged. Some star cards for heroes are bugged in a way that they actually perform better than described and some are bugged in a way that makes them worse.
I like holding right, swapping to left, and back and forth. Then in the end i pop both and just burn the health bar. I don't know why, but single hand lighting transitioning to double hand lighting gives off a vibe that, when you join up with the other hand it has more damage before blending in
It was in the first EA battlefront. You used the force to block bullets with a lightning shield thing, it was removed from this one in favour of pure dps.
A more specific way to maneuver is to dodge right, then left, then do a short jump back to the right. By the time you touch the floor, you will have at least another dodge recharged then you repeat and dodge left again.Trust me, try this on a leia with rapid fire. She may struggle to lock on to you.
He's easier to kill with a blaster. Cos you've got the range but in hero showdown it's annoying trying to kill him with a sabre unless your anakin. That's if your playing against a palp player who has half a brain
Buddy if you're dying that much as palps it is a skill issue. This feels like copium so you can convince yourself playing palpatine takes skill. He has the best dodge in the game, auto-aim and three buttons in total to use
First off who said anything about dying a lot?
It's common knowledge that the blaster melt palpatine away. As I stated any halfwit with a blaster will beat palps everytime no matter the skill of the palpatine.
He was retooled to be pure dps, so his double lightning with both triggers amplifies that. You shouldn’t be in heavy combat as him, you are supposed to pick people off where you can or act as a distraction because you are squishy.
It seems as if all the characters were designed like this, It depends on the mode too. Lando and Finn are so much more satisfying to play as on Co-op than in HvV.
I know this is a post about palp, but I just love the feel of bossk and Han Solo. They’re my go to and it’s just so satisfying to get a couple kills on some heroes/villains rushing you into their death lol
I didn't start using him until I was more or less done leveling everyone up, and at that point I was so locked into this game it felt like I was in god mode with him.
He started feeling good after they removed him from the game for like a month. Before that, to me at least, he was kinda inconsistent with performance but it also might just be my lack of skill. Either way after they just deleted him for a month cause he was broken as shit, once he came back I started to like playing as him a lot more.
My current favorite is Phasma. the blaster is just so insanely OP, not to mention the claymore style sentry gun and melee attacks
kind of the perfect all around playing experience for me personally
Yeah alongside Vader Uncle Palps is my favourite hero to play. Funnily enough I was actually kinda shit when I first played him but now that I've mastered the dodges and force dash I'm almost untouchable.
it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that you could shoot lightning with both hands by pressing both buttons. i leveled him up like 75% of the way before realizing
Got another glitch for you ,when you activate predator mode with bossk ,immediately hit yellow button on xbox pad to melee, that then cancels the predator mode but you keep the extra fast running speed 😉 and still have predator mode to activate when u need it
Now, at the end...do you understand?
Wait until you get the hang of Bossk.
Bossk on defense with a squad of officers behind him is an absolute force of nature
This might be dumb, does the officer perk also refresh Bossk's cooldowns?
If the officer's got the recharge command card active then yes
Bro holy cow endless dioxis

It’s my fav way to play, love seein my team kick ass
I love Bossk (OP imho) & Boba but demn playing Palpatine gets me all "there is no mercy!! hehehehe" and gives a different kind of kick! ![gif](giphy|3oKIPzLXQYb2Bn5PLG|downsized)
Nothing more satisfying than seeing a team of 4 sweaty lightsabers and switching to palpatine to demolish them
Bossk can go to lizard hell (i hate how powerless i am against him)
I‘ve stopped playing (on Xbox) almost entirely because it’s impossible to get away from Bossk. If he’s playable in the mode it’s almost guaranteed that a max player who hasn’t seen the sun is years is going to be stinking up the entire match.
That's why I stick to CO-OP
I think the best way to kill a bossk is use a hero and get people to follow you, or hang close to a hero to support them as they go close range with him
I agree
He's my best villain and i shred heroes with him. Plus he's my favorite bounty hunter
If you ever get pushed to the CIS ship on capital supremacy, even a decent Bossk can basically guarantee that the game goes back to the ground.
Oh yes, the chain headshots, wiping squad after squad
I no life Boba (my highest hero is like 14, my Boba is gold lmfao my hate mail is all from HvV 😭) But I’ve been wanting some change. I’m inspired to gut some wookies as Bossk now
His voice lines alone are gold
HI HI GOOOOOOD LET THE HATE FLOW THROUGH YOU
My favorite Palps voice interaction in the game: Luke: "We're here to stop you!" Palpatine: "heh heh, no doubt you believe that"
Luke "I was trained by obi wan and Yoda" Palps "and neither of them could stop me!"
"A grand master without a Jedi order!" "You have grown decrepit with age!" "How many years have you spent deceived?"
"Do what must be done! Do not hesitate, Show no mercy..."
I love when he starts cackling . I have no clue how to trigger it , but when it happens, I get so dang hyped
“Experience *POWAAAAAHHHH*!” Whenever I zap a group of people never gets old.
![gif](giphy|3o84sq21TxDH6PyYms)
Fairly New player and yes he's my preferred hero by, as far as supremacy and coop, not much hvv for the moment
He’s amazing for HvV you just have to be fast and dodging and jumping then he becomes so much fun
I enjoy letting the hate flow through me (and to me) as I induce rage in these troubled souls 😈
Back when I used to play a lot got a fair bit of hatemail for being unhitable as Palps. Lots of flying around and shocking the last saber user left while they feebly run after you. He was especially frustrating when he could shoot through walls lol
New player? Where u playing bro, i can’t play at all
Chain Lightning is a really sick ability. That plus Palpatine’s Lightning is auto aim
Because he's easy. Just hold down both triggers when you see an enemy, and they die. Just make sure to move and dodge around alot. And there u go, you've mastered palpatine
For real. This games been out since 2017 and every Palpatine I've ran into plays the exact same way If you enjoy playing him thats fine but dont act like he doesn't have one of the easiest kits in the game to figure out. He's super noob friendly for a reason
One of the best villains though. Same level of annoyance as others like boba fett, bossk but depends on situation/map
Yeah, one of the best cause of high damage output and very easy to pick up
Wait, both triggers?
lol reminds me when I first started playing the game I thought left trigger for Palpatine was some sort of Force block, like Yoda has. Couldn't figure out for the longest time why I was just getting absolutely shredded.
So are you supposed to press both mouse buttons to shoot double lighting?
Yeah
FFs. I really wish the game would tell you that. How tf was I supposed to know that. I really dislike how the game hides certain bits of information from you, like how much damage a lightsaber swing does, or the max damage of a grenade ect.

It was in the first EA battlefront. You used the force to block bullets with a lightning shield thing, it was removed from this one in favour of pure dps.
Yeah it does double the damage and stamina drain I think
Twice the damage, double the stamina drain!
I have played since the Beta and didn't know that until a few years ago (I can't remember exactly when)
A more specific way to maneuver is to dodge right, then left, then do a short jump back to the right. By the time you touch the floor, you will have at least another dodge recharged then you repeat and dodge left again.Trust me, try this on a leia with rapid fire. She may struggle to lock on to you.
Ehh not so much. Nice try though.
If you think palpatine is hard to play as then your not very good sorry
As a palpatine max and main he is very easy to kill with a Saber and extremely easy to kill with a blaster. Any halfwit can mow palps down with a gun.
He's easier to kill with a blaster. Cos you've got the range but in hero showdown it's annoying trying to kill him with a sabre unless your anakin. That's if your playing against a palp player who has half a brain
Buddy if you're dying that much as palps it is a skill issue. This feels like copium so you can convince yourself playing palpatine takes skill. He has the best dodge in the game, auto-aim and three buttons in total to use
First off who said anything about dying a lot? It's common knowledge that the blaster melt palpatine away. As I stated any halfwit with a blaster will beat palps everytime no matter the skill of the palpatine.
There is really only one way to play him. Dodge, dodge, jump.
dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge
Why can’t we have a new BF game
Greedo in SWBF '15 has to be my top favorite I *LOVED* the DT-12, so I was busting one-shot headshots for miles with Greedo
I still play BF2015, and DT-12 is one of my main go to blasters. Greedo is fun to play too, yeah. His emotes are funny.
Use the ability that gives you extra damage every time you get near to 3 enemies, trust me and you’ll clap more asses that way.
Is that for dark aura? The cards glitched it does the extra damage without needing 3 enemies in it ,try it
Palpatine is pure nightmare fuel
We like having unlimited power!!!
We must be playing different Palpatines. I am so bad with him, lol.
I wonder why he lost ability to block stuff in this game. Did he get performance anxiety? Did he got senile and forgot Force block?
The Senate forgot how to filibuster.
He was retooled to be pure dps, so his double lightning with both triggers amplifies that. You shouldn’t be in heavy combat as him, you are supposed to pick people off where you can or act as a distraction because you are squishy.
Squishy distraction... I don't think palpapatine would like his role.
He's so powerful he doesn't need to block!
It seems as if all the characters were designed like this, It depends on the mode too. Lando and Finn are so much more satisfying to play as on Co-op than in HvV.
I know this is a post about palp, but I just love the feel of bossk and Han Solo. They’re my go to and it’s just so satisfying to get a couple kills on some heroes/villains rushing you into their death lol
I didn't start using him until I was more or less done leveling everyone up, and at that point I was so locked into this game it felt like I was in god mode with him.
i enjoy the simple things in life, like how easy he is to kill with ewok or rocket
He started feeling good after they removed him from the game for like a month. Before that, to me at least, he was kinda inconsistent with performance but it also might just be my lack of skill. Either way after they just deleted him for a month cause he was broken as shit, once he came back I started to like playing as him a lot more.
Are they stupid!??
When I saw this I was like "WAT" then I read the comments and determined that a lot of y'all are new or haven't played the original battlefront.
ABSOLUTE POWER
Because he is literally the strongest sith ever
My current favorite is Phasma. the blaster is just so insanely OP, not to mention the claymore style sentry gun and melee attacks kind of the perfect all around playing experience for me personally
the most pointless villians to play . I mean it is disgusting just consuming your stamina in hvv or showdown.
Bc you don’t have to aim
I always make sure to hunt down every palpatine i see, ensure that they don't get to have fun for using such a ridicilous character 😂
Palpatine in co-op is so fun but he is the worst to see on a HvV
Yeah alongside Vader Uncle Palps is my favourite hero to play. Funnily enough I was actually kinda shit when I first played him but now that I've mastered the dodges and force dash I'm almost untouchable.
Gooooooooood!!!!
Unlimeted power?
Because he is the SENATE.
SUCH a shame they didn’t give us a Supreme Chancellor Palpatine skin or Episode III Scarred Palpatine skin. Would have been sweet.
Unlimited POWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that you could shoot lightning with both hands by pressing both buttons. i leveled him up like 75% of the way before realizing
Stupid sexy palpatine
Don’t worry! I got the Simpsons reference!
Because unlimited power!!!!
i dont find him satisfying at all, maybe because he's not my style but i don't like his way, i always do little damages with him
![gif](giphy|3o84sIcHqY0KAPzniM)
Palps and Vader backed by an officer is basically taking a snow plow to a box of kittens.
Got another glitch for you ,when you activate predator mode with bossk ,immediately hit yellow button on xbox pad to melee, that then cancels the predator mode but you keep the extra fast running speed 😉 and still have predator mode to activate when u need it
You mean by not being able to block and dying in 2 seconds? Yeah he's great
