This isn't pointed at the OP who made this video. They're just doing a fun comparison between the factions. But, this was during a time where people played video games for fun. The whole meta bs came along from MMOs, where they try to get every decimal point advantage out of whatever they are working on. Which makes sense for THOSE games. However! Then it started to bleed into other games, such as shooters. Like if you weren't using a specific gun in CoD that had a 0.002% faster kill rate. And that's when it got to a point where people would shit on someone and bully them (and sometimes grief them ingame) because they weren't playing the game the way they think the person should have to.

@chataclysm2112 CS is different, in that it has a purposefully tiered structure. The weapons are unbalanced in performance intentionally. More expensive weapons are more expensive, because they are better in about every way on purpose. No one is going to be using the uzi when they are sitting on 15k cash. They are going to be using an AK or awp. Because those weapons do more damage, more accurate, etc. The most recent example of what I'm talking about is a meta crowd in Helldivers 2. Most weapons have been pretty well balanced in performing in what way they were built to function. Rifles at long range, shotguns are close range, etc. But Helldivers 2 is a PvE coop game and yet you can go on the Steam forums and people have reported being team-killed or kicked out of the match, because they aren't using specifically the Breaker shotgun, because that's the "meta".

I kinda agree Darth Maul was just always s beast when you were using him. Also CIS had the best bomber out of all the factions. I loved it so much.

IMO 1. CIS 2 Empire 3. Republic 4. Rebels The CIS and Empire have some of the best vehicles in the game. That the developers put ATRTs up against AATs is laughable to say the least. Plus the rebels only tank has rockets that go basically everywhere except where you are aiming. Maul and Jango are the best heroes in the game in my experience. Jango’s hitscan pistol is slept on, plus with his jetpack he can escape from bad situations easier than any other blaster hero besides his son. I don’t think Palpatine is quite as bad as you give him credit for being. His lightning slam explosion thing is beastly in small rooms like you see on Jedi Temple. I’d give worst hero to Chewbacca. The remote control rockets are cool but using it is just asking to slowly lose all your health while trying to find a target. Or dying because the enemy found you while you can’t defend yourself.

@Dankakin-SkyWalker-

4 ай бұрын

That's fair, I do also think jango is pretty underrated, his pistol is a one shot kill if you land a head shot, and his time bombs are great for tanks and turrets, the empire also definitely have awesome vehicles, but yeah Chewbacca is definitely the worst hero, played the emperor a bit more recently, with his lightning and ground slam, he is pretty usable, just different

Maul is also the best saber hero in the game with his throw hitbox being so wide as it is.

Id rank them like this: 1. CIS: SBD is super accurate but blaster fires too slow for my liking. Droideka is the single best unit in the game. Darth Maul is the best Force user by far, Dooku is the worst (even worse than Palpatine imo) but only appears in one map. 2. Republic: the hero’s do a lot of lifting here. Every single Jedi is at minimum an average hero. There are no bad Jedi hero’s. Jet trooper is based. Clone trooper has the best rifle imo, fires faster than the SBD, but is less accurate. Sacrifice I’m willing to make for rate of fire. 3. Rebels: tough decision to put them below the republic for me. The Republic and Rebels would be 2A and 2B, but the reason they aren’t, is that they stand around shooting dead bodies and that the republic’s Jedi are all so good. That’s why I’m giving the edge to the Republic. 4. Empire: Stormtrooper has the fastest ROF blaster among standard infantry units but is very inaccurate. Works best in close quarters maps such as the Death Star, Tantive IV and Jabba’s Palace. Dark trooper is really good. Vader, Anakin, Emperor, and Boba Fett are the worst lineup of hero’s for any faction by far. Anakin is the only average or above hero.

The Emperor is an absolutely devastating hero if you know how to use him. Force choke is unblockable and completely disables any unit it catches, including other heroes, for the duration of the grip and a few seconds afterwards, allowing you to close the distance and get free hits with your lightsaber (his dash attack alone is enough to almost one-shot Luke). Force Lightning is a very powerful mid-range attack that damages multiple units without the cost of losing access to your saber, allowing you to switch between offence and defence safely and easily. Oh, and his jumping attack can also nuke an entire room of enemies.

Palpatine certainly isn't the greatest at fighting opposing force users like luke in regular saber combat, but his lightning attack chains, and can drop very large groups of enemies really quickly, especially for how quickly you can fire off that lightning and for how little energy. Also, his groundslam attack is one of the best hero attacks mid-jump, since it can OHKO a lot of enemies at once within an area, and it's pretty spammable.

Idk why but I actually get great results from the Imperial officer’s Sonic blaster. It’s really good for bunched up troops in tight spaces like mustafar and Tantive. I tend to treat it like a magnum type pistol. High damage but unwieldy and slow. At mid range it shines and is one of my preferred weapons to use on the Wookies. His grenade launcher outshines it in my mind but I think the sonic blaster gets a bad rap

Edit: Just my opinion 4 = Rebels because of missions where vehicle advantage for Empire is numerous (Endor) allow to be pinned down very early in game. Y-Wing copilot has a minigun? 3 = Clones because they are easy to spot from distance and droid sniper has better range. LAAT is good but not better than droids. 2 = Droids for they are hard to spot from distance and droidekas can solo checkpoints. Space battles are very easy for them. 1 = Empire for multiple missions where they get clear vehicle advantage, allowing very aggressive early game rushes. ATAT only vehicle in game requiring dedicated teamwork to bring down. Jawas can heal them allowing them to hold positions longer. ATST has only threats in the form of dedicated rocket teams from Rebels and traps on Endor and no way to be killed at Mos Eisley (very hard to obtain and I forget which game). In maps where vehicles don't exist, dark trooper and Palps don't need grenades to squad kill with lightning and rebel sniper doesn't get many locations to hold positions. TIE Bomber can single-handedly crush positions with bombs and fighter primary hits hardest and has fastest fire rate. Some vehicles like ATST get homing missiles for copilot. Now if teams could fight each other in what-ifs like rebels v droids defending on Hoth: 4 = Rebels 3 = Clones 2 = Empire 1 = Droids

Glad you like it,I think it goes well over the gameplay tbh, want my viewers to be relaxed innit

If you use the E-11 properly then shot for shot it can be incredibly deadly. I find myself tapping for single shots and doing short bursts with it. Once you get yourself into a habit of shooting like that you rarely ever miss.

Man wish they just supplied the imperial officer with a pistol that'll take longer to overheat rather than it made in geonosis for some odd reason.

For standard units: The empire has the highest rate of fire, With both the rebels and the clones being on roughly equal footing, with the cis being the slowest. This means in tight spaces the empire has an advantage, but lose it when they have to do sustained fire at range. Magazine size is also a huge factor, with the empire and clones getting 50 shots before a reload, and with the rebels as well as the cis getting 100. The slow rate of fire and mag size makes it feel like the sbd can shoot forever. The sbd can partially overcome its slow rate of fire at close range with the tri-shot, which does kill very quickly, but also overheats quickly too. So the sbd can quickly dispatch a few troops that get too close, but can struggle if overwhelmed. I say can because the wrist rocket is also the best ''grenade'' in the game. The sbd is by far the best overall standard unit in the game, with the storm troopers being more niche than the clones or rebels..

2:45 I actually think Jango Fett is the best blaster hero in the game, not Han Solo (yay, more points for the CIS). Jango's pistol is essentially the OP award pistol. You can zoom in with it, and I think a headshot is an instant kill on anything except other heroes. And you can spam fire it SUPER quickly if you're fighting another hero or if you're dealing with a lot of enemies. I would also much rather have an ammo weapon than a cooldown-based weapon. Granted, if you're playing with the Award weapons enabled, then all the pistol units have access to this OP pistol, but still. And Jango's Time Bombs are the strongest tank buster in the game, even if they're harder to use.

Luke as the “best force user” in the game is kinda crazy to me. Especially with Maul in the exact same video, who I believe outshines Luke completely. Maul’s sprint rush can kill a lot more soldiers at once than Luke’s. And his primary attack finish has larger range of knock back than Luke’s; making for a far deadlier combatant against other force users. Force ability wise they’re the same, but dueling wise Maul takes it. Also, Han most def isn’t the best blaster user in the game 😂 Boba Fett outclasses him completely. At close range he can light you up with his flamethrower which slowly eats away at your health. At long range he and Han both have burst rounds in their guns (Han with a slightly faster fire rate), but Boba also has rockets with a small AOE. He’s instantly more versatile than Han at range and at close combat. Close range, Han only has detpacks, and considering Boba has a jet pack, the distance can be expanded very quickly to avoid any damage from it. Not to mention with the jet pack he just automatically has way better mobility than Han.

I think the Republic might belong in the number 2 slot just because every one of their heroes is an honestly really good lightsaber hero, making them an incredible choice for Galactic Conquest. I’d love to see a video where you compare more vehicles than just the dropship though. Because that would be interesting see how it plays into the rankings

Emperor is a monster, if you use him right. Don't rely on the normal attacks, use the lightning slams and sprint attacks. You can also fly and use lightning at the same time. Lastly, I believe he can force choke individuals, which is deadly against other heroes. Unlike Darth Vader though, you don't have to be as precise with the sprint attack to capitalize on it. I will agree that Empire is probably the worst, in terms of infantry. However, their vehicles are awesome. As for CIS, they are the ROFL stomp faction. They are seriously broken. Literally the only way you can win against them normally is because the AI doesn't use their abilities properly. One such ability is to walk around in SPACE, but they RARELY ever use this on Polis Massa...and I think they only do if they abandon their vehicles that are too damaged.

I would have a different order: 1: CIS (simply the best faction, no downside) 2: GaR (second best as the heroes are awesome too, and they are perfectly balanced) 3: Empire (for me, the dark trooper is way too overpowered, able to destroy any unit in seconds (except for vehicules). imperial commander is a useless unit, except if you love to do suicide run with scout droid Last one: Rebels. bothan spy can be good, but their range is way too short, and they can still be killed quite easily by someone that knows how to spot them. wookie warrior is nice, but its reaction time is too big, leaving it exposed to fire too often. even though rebellion has heroes that are awesome, a single dark trooper can stun lock them into a death loop quite easily.

The Emperor has a bit of a different playstyle. One thing the emperor does have that's pretty good is the ability to block instantly while you are doing force lighting. So basically you shock your target once, then block and repeat that process until you are close enough to slash your enemy. I recommend only doing 2 slashes, the third slash is very slow and engineers and wookies can shoot you before you hit them with third swing. Also the sprint is pretty nice, since you can keep moving after a slash. If you encounter a lonely hero, you can choke and lightning them with the glitch.

I think with the Emperor you need to just get good tbh. He's not like most heroes with a focus on saber combat. His strength is in his force capabilities. Really I only use his saber when multiple enemies are present just because of how much of a range he has. You bring valid points though and I respect why the Empire is last. I can tell you really love the game, though. You've found how to skillfully use wookies and clone commandos. That's where I need to get good 😂

I didn’t know the factions have different spread for the main infantry unit, makes me sad the stormtrooper unit has worse accuracy because I really like role playing with the Empire

I think it's neat, but somewhat unbalanced

Here's my ranking 1: Obviously the CIS, they're so overpowered it hurts. Magnaguards are great at destroying stuff and Droidekas are both killing machines and grenade magnets, plus the infamous polis massa bonus, i love playing as Jango and Maul is super OP They also have the best bombers too 2: Empire, probably the worst ships but i love dark troopers which a lot of people underestimates it (his jet is really great for escaping grenades/spies and saving command posts), imperial officer sucks though (if only they replaced that blaster with the "Award Pistol", then maybe he'd be great), Sidious is actually pretty OP if you know what you're doing, though Boba feels like a downgraded Jango Rebels: The bothan spy is a hit or miss, they can be a huge beast or...a disaster, wookie warrior is crazy though. Luke and Han are also pretty great for hero units Republic: Hot take, but the Republic isn't that good, the commander is a bit underwhelmig and honestly i prefer BF1's Jet Trooper (they're pretty much the same, except for the EPM gun, but since BF1 is a more tactical and slow game, Jet Trooper is really handy.)

That's fair tbh, but I agree the dark trooper does give you a huge advantage as the empire, and Boba is just a worse Jango I agree

From a purely statistical standpoint yeah id say this objectively correct. This is especially true in bf1 where the factions are far less balanced.

I agree with your rankings, but Republic is my favorite one to play as.

I question sbd's being the best trooper unit actually. Sure they go hard offensively when they do, but defensively its probably the safest and easiest unit to headshot in the entire game. Their head being in their torso makes it childsplay to hit and thier wristrockets being a linear attack makes them rather predictable and only really good at chokepoints.

A lot of people don’t know that they can double shoot the dark trooper’s arc canister by using the jet pack after the first shot. If you’re on a map with a fairly low ceiling, you can literally shoot>jet pack>shoot and it’s similar to a double pump shotgun in fortnite. You need to know this for the upcoming re release. The Death Star is easily the best map to do this on

The emporer is better in this game than the new one. Basically you use him as an arch trooper lightning crowds the saber is just your shield.
