Custom Class & Hero Loadouts/Builds Revisited [Pt. 2] (6/14/2018)

Dash · June 15, 2018 3:10AM

Here we are again people. New Guide, More Builds, and my First time Sharing my Hero Loadouts!!! I hope those reading this get nothing but the Best experiences from what we're going to cover today. As usual at the end I will link all previous guides with previous builds to keep stacking ALL my Custom builds for you all. Lets get into it.

Let's first cover the New Class Loadouts/Builds:

Assault Builds:

Loadout Name: "Perfect Point"

Weapon: CR-2
Attachments: Reduced Recoil Alone, OR also add Night Vision. Up to your preference.

Star Cards: Assault Training, Marksman, Toughen Up.

This build is another Aggressive type build. Meant for enemy unit disruption and pressure building against enemy movements/emplacements. This is simple, Engage, Aim for the Head, Spray and Pray, Use Toughen Up when you break LOS, and Engage again, Rinse and Repeat. This build allows you to recklessly fire and scare down enemies while being targeted by multiple enemies while being alone. You heal Per kill, you never overheat if you aim for the head (No reloading required if done right/aiming right for the head), and you have your own medical aid a finger tip away in case things get salty. Practice this until you fear nothing.

Loadout Name: "Cobalt"

Weapon: A280/EL-16 or CR-2
Attachments: A280 (Improved Cooling & Range), EL-16 (Reduced Recoil & Improved Range), & CR-2 (Reduced Recoil Alone, OR also add Night Vision).

Star Cards: Smart Ion Grenade, Bounty Hunter or Recharge Vanguard, Improved Scan Dart.

This is the Jack of all Trades Assault build. Your Ion grenades are useful in all situations/all phases/engagements, you earn more points for all you do if you choose BH/Can use abilities more often if you choose RCV, and you are more aware/make your team more aware of enemy movements with ISD. Just PTO, it all comes naturally with this build by just playing.

Heavy Builds:

Loadout Name: "Give me my Credits Jabba"

Weapon: DC-15LE or TL-50
Attachments: DC-15LE (Reduced Recoil & Exploding Shot) or TL-50 (Improved Cooling & Reduced Spread).

Star Cards: Ion Torpedo, Bounty Hunter, Ion Turret.

With this build it's all about Anti Vehicle, and Jabba paying up those Credits!
Just focus on taking out the enemy Ground Vehicles, Focus on the enemy Air vehicles, Just Focus on them alone. Defend the location you turtle at while you defend your team from Strafe runs and Tanks over running your team.
You will reap the rewards for all your hard work and diligence. Not kidding. After last patch, this is a MUST per side in battle. Need at least 1-2 guys running this to wreak havoc and protect your squads. Good luck!

Loadout Name: "Demagogue"

Weapon: DC-15LE or TL-50
Attachments: DC-15LE (Reduced Recoil & Exploding Shot) or TL-50 (Improved Cooling & Reduced Spread).

Star Cards: Marksman, Bodyguard, Improved Combat Shield.

This is similar to the "Perfect Point" Assault build. Basically do the same, Aim for the head ALWAYS, you wont have healing, but you have a shield instead, More Health, and Less damage from explosions and toxins/gas. Identical play style, but more of a Tanky DPS build. Practice makes Perfect!

Officer Builds:

Loadout Name: "Dissident"

Weapon: Blurrg or SE-44C
Attachments: Blurrg (Reduced Recoil & Improved Burst) & SE-44C (Improved Cooling & Rapid Fire).

Star Cards: Improved Flash Grenade, Marksman, Defuser.

This build is a run and gun, buff your allies, and deter enemy pushes Build. Do what you gotta do, help your team mates out. Support and defend positions. Assist in pushes towards Objectives. You need to focus on headshots, that's the bread and butter of this build. If you can train yourself to just aim for the head all the time you will Only aim for the head from here on out. Rarely over heat your pistols, and be Aggressive without penalty for the most part. Nothing scarier than an enemy that can fire endlessly and chunk health out of you. Even after the patch Officers are Not to be trifled with.

Specialist Builds:

Not gonna cover this as I personally feel there is no one Better than @GenxDarchi to cover this class in it's entirety. Respect to that man and his dedication to pushing for Specialist to be improved/buffed. Months upon months dedicated to get a good start in the right direction with this latest patches buffs for Specialist. If you have Any questions about that class, Ask him.

Now onto my Hero Guides. This will be plain and simple. I could show you a Multitude of Guides for Heroes/Villains. Instead, I will show you How I play and what Star Cards I personally use that give me success in HVV/GA/(Conquest in the Near Future ). Just take note of the Star Cards, and Play to the Characters/Star Cards Strengths. No Commentary needed for this part. Good Luck!

Heroes/Villains Builds:

Villains:

Boba Fett Star Cards: Acute Concussion, Extended Exposure, Intense Barrage.

Bossk Star Cards: Multi-Traps, Predatory Resilience, Trap Arming Speed.

Darth Vader Star Cards: Intensified Lightsaber Throw, Furious Reslience, Dark Lord.

Emperor Palpatine Star Cards: Lightning Reach, Surge of Lightning, Lightning Absorption.

Iden Versio Star Cards: Droid Batteries, Friend In Battle, Cooled Blaster.

Kylo Ren Star Cards: Harsh Pull, Power Reach, Berserking Tantrum.

Darth Maul Star Cards: Lightsaber Defense, Accelerated Throw, Unrolled Grip.

Captain Phasma Star Cards: The More The Better, Easy Shots, Not Hard Enough.

Heroes:

Chewbacca Star Cards: Wookiee Berserker, Slammed, Furious Resilience.

Han Solo Star Cards: Sharpshooter's Calm, Air Burst, Heavily Modified Blaster.

Lando Star Cards: Hot & Cold, Maximized Efficiency, Wide Eyed.

Leia Organa Star Cards: Rebel Heart, For The Rebellion, Relentless Firing.

Luke Skywalker Star Cards: Cleansing The Darkness, Extended Push Reach, Strong Repulse.

Rey Star Cards: Survivor, Street Fighter, Resilient Dash.

Yoda Star Cards: Unleashed, Jedi Mentor, Master Of The Force.

Finn Star Cards: No More Running, I Can Do This, Raised To Do One Thing.

Again, these are the Loadouts I personally use for GA/HVV without adjustments, and they work Wonders. Just set the cards, and play. They work for ME Universally without issue.

Thanks for reading guys. I hope these builds provide you with some new Insight and FUN to be had! Have a good time everyone.
May the Force be with You, Always.

Stealth, hardened infiltration, personal shield is the way to go for the specialist, as for more specific builds at the moment it's too early in the patch to say.

weapons: a280-cfe close quarters-mid range, burst mode always on, double scope not needed, ion shot depends on the context.
nt-242 long range fights, all mods are good, play the ones you prefer; just be aware that you can't one shot headshot or 2 body shot heavies with disruptor shot.
iqa11 is dead.

good topic dash.

Sooo looking forward to it. Can’t WAIT to get home and see how the aspects of the class are. Sucks that the patch came out these weeks instead of earlier or later, but oh well.

Elusive_DJ · June 15, 2018 4:19AM

Very insightful thread, will definitely give those load outs a try in extraction later today.

Dash · June 15, 2018 4:22AM

Thank you sir! I hope you kick Gluteus Maximus!!!

It's stupid now, you can rambo if you just look at your radar, snipping is harder now though.
The class is better at close quarter/mid range now than snipping. You can play cfe anywhere anytime even hoth first phase and not feeling less useful than the others specialists snipping.
The snipping changed from a reaction gameplay to a more precision gameplay.

First game I topped the scoreboard of my team on death star 2 trying to do stupid stuff (going 1v4)/spawn killing out of bounds/fight heavies and officers close range buffed after 1 week of no gaming. I was only outscored by 2 ennemies officers that rushed points, I even 1v1d Iden close range at the end lol.
It's basically the assault less rambo with an unleashed A280, a worse grenade but with the positions of the enemies indicated.

Thanks Dash, I appreciate this kind of input and guidance. I bought the game at launch but have only played it more in the past month or so, so I’m well behind in having characters or classes leveled up. I only have Leia and Maul at max level, but that’s just from playing HvV mostly. So its nice to have info out there not only on useful load outs for classes, but how to use them. It may seem like it’s something that should be obvious or intuitive, but I’ve found that’s not always the case. Thanks.

No problem! And thanks for the kind words. This is why I write these guides. Every little bit of information helps. Glad it can be of good use

The 2015 game was the first game I ever played online, despite being a 43 year old who has played video games since the 80’s. So needless to say there was a learning curve and I got destroyed at first. But eventually I ended up with a K/D of 1.4 (after being at 0.4 after three months of playing) and a win percentage of around 65%. Not spectacular, but not bad for an old fart. Because this games progression is structured differently, I likely won’t get everything leveled up. And that’s why I come on this forum (aside from commenting on Ahsoka), to be more “efficient” with my time playing. And precisely the reason I like getting advice from people like yourself who are well versed and knowledgeable about the game. So thanks for taking the time and doing these guides.

No worries! I enjoy talking in here and helping. I’m 33 myself and I enjoy anything Star Wars related. Feel free to ask me anything whenever you need to know.

Still going strong. One of my favs still

MyLittleGreenFriend · June 18, 2018 4:34PM

Nice! I like your hero loadouts a lot. One thing I will say, Frantic Strikes for Maul? My personal build is Lightsaber Defence, Fool me Once, and Flow Motion. You actually used my "unleash charge" Yoda loadout (never named this before now and feels very dumb compared to your names LOL.) as you can OHK Heavies with Master of the Force. I use this on hallway maps like Death Star 2, but on open maps I use a more mobile loadout (Agility, Feel the Force, and Enduring Presence/ Opposing the Dark Side depending on HvV or GA). Anyway, great guide! I definitely need help with Phasma, i'm terrible with her LOL.

Try the frantic strikes out. You’ll see a difference

. I have a video of it here:

Great vid, I definitely noticed a difference. I will try it out, my Maul is maxed anyway. @Dash_Gaming could claim that Phasma's staff strikes were the best ability in game (even if they were before Patch 1.2) and that her staff cards would give the ability UNLIMITED POWER!!! and I would still use Phasma to try out the staff for 30 minutes straight LOL. Your welcome! Excellent guide.

Bump for awareness.

Dash · September 15, 2018 2:39PM

Leaving this on for New players that need the builds in the coming months/future.

Dash · September 17, 2018 4:21AM

If anyone is interested in seeing all of the builds in use in live different scenarios/experiences, I have a Massive video collection that is updated weekly by 8+ videos weekly here: [That is My YT Channel]. Everything I’ve covered from launch in these guides till now, is all showcased within those videos themselves in action.

If anyone has questions on loadouts or good team make ups with classes for GA/Conquest upcoming, Upcoming Squad system, or HVV/HS synergy group builds/character synergies, feel free to DM me or ask me here. Have a great week everyone!

May the Force be with Us, Always.

starwarsgamer999 · September 17, 2018 6:37AM

LOL no point using Frantic Strikes on Darth Maul it is useless. Darth Maul doesnt even have stamina! Yoda Master Of The Force doesnt even work.

It’s been updated.

Also, this guide is for new players, and veteran players looking for different styles of play. Hence why there are alternate links to previous builds going back to the launch of the game itself.

Next time leave input, or additional information preferably on this post. It’s not a commentary.

By Popular request, Here's a video of the Leia build to showcase how well it works:

Some Vader Footage of Defensive tactics with countering at the right moment in mind. Also a great way to gauge the aggression of enemies to feel them out and catch them at every slip up. Enjoy.
