Only a few days left until the multiplayer battles in the online shooter Star Wars: Battlefront. Now the characters, weapons, and Star Cards of the game have been introduced.
The factions of the Rebel Alliance and the Empire consist of various characters. The Rebels include standard Rebel Troopers, the green-skinned Rodians, as well as the Snow and Heavy Troopers. Also part of the Alliance are the alien Ishi Tib, the fish-like Quarren, the horned Zabrak, the Sullustans, and the Duros.
In contrast, the Empire mostly consists of humans. Besides the standard Stormtroopers, there are the Biker or Scout Troopers, who are primarily used for reconnaissance, and the Snowtroopers, who are deployed in cold areas like the ice planet Hoth due to their warming armor. Shadow Troopers are equipped with cloaking devices, making them particularly suitable as snipers.
Sandtroopers have cooling armor and are therefore deployed on desert planets like Tatooine and Jakku. Shock Troopers use special blasters with a lot of stopping power and have particularly resilient armor.

You need good cards
Various blasters, thermal detonators, bowcasters, and pistols are used as weapons. Rebels can temporarily use shields to protect themselves from an AT-ST’s attacks, and it is possible to call in an airstrike, where ships in orbit bombard the entire area. Turrets, stationary cannons, and rocket launchers can of course also be used.
Particularly interesting are the Star Cards. You create a special deck from three cards and can then use the attributes and weapons or items on the cards in a specific combination. By leveling up, you gain new cards to assemble additional card decks. These decks can decide life or death in critical situations.
Additionally, you will find power-ups on the battlefields that allow you to obtain a special weapon or transform into one of the heroes like Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader.
In the official Star Wars: Battlefront News Blog, you will find more information about the star cards, trophies, and blasters. And starting on November 19th, you can try it out yourself when Star Wars: Battlefront releases for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
