I’m not even joking I was just looking for this yesterday

If you are good with Anakin and you feel you don’t need the extra 100 health then use the card that makes pull dominance bigger, it’s SOOOO good

Hidden ability: 50% cooler if you swing your saber when you jump

I think that in Trooper modes, the star card "massive strikes," which gives anakin more damage and less stamina, is more than worth it, because normally with his 12 swings that means about 6 potential troopers killed because it takes 2 hits, however with this star card it costs 25% more stamina, yes, but it only takes 1 swing to take out most troopers, which with the added stamina cost comes out to about 9 potential kills

I generally agree with you however I would use steamroll instead of tenacious. Anakin doesn’t need the extra help he’s already plenty tanky but his stamina is terrible so that’s how I justify that. The three cards in trooper modes I choose would be Steamroll, Raw Strength, and All of Them. Making two out of three abilities become instant one hit kills is just impossible to turn down. Also getting a up to 40% stamina buff on attack and on defense gives him basically like a suit of armor. In Hero modes strangely enough I would recommend Massive strikes. Let me explain, 130×5 is only 650. The average health of the dark side is 750. This means you will need six swings to the front at minimum in order to kill an enemy. With massive strikes 150×5 = 750! Basically you’re reducing the amount of swings you need to kill. That extra 20 damage really really adds up! I will go Massive Strikes Attraction and Steamroll. The 25 increased stamina drain is a non-issue when you get a few kills if you have steamroll equipped.

Love these videos! I can't wait for one for an updated Palpatine (who's been my favorite villain since launch). His ability to absolutely clear a hallway and make the enemy run in terror off a position is unmatched and once you get down that you have to abuse is corkscrew dodge and weird jumps to maneuver around the opponent, he becomes super fun. I also love that you can use the chain lightning while attacking which will momentarily boost his dps to something insane.

Playing my favorite character in all of fiction were some of the best memories of my life, especially when I was able to lead my capital supremacy team from near defeat to total victory with Anakin leading the charge. It was nice while it lasted before his place in Star Wars became... soured due to JJ's last handiwork.

I've got a maxed Anakin that's very rarely defeated fairly or skill wise. For HvV I almost always use Attraction, Massive Strikes, and Steamroll; if I'm getting ganged up alot and need the extra stamina to defend myself I swap out Massive Strikes for Raw Strength and basically spam my abilities and run away a few times to build up my stamina first. For trooper modes Attraction, All of Them, and Raw Strength; basically want to primarily rely on abilities.

There's no way Anakin swings faster than Luke, right?

Another happy landing

Yay my light side main!

I like to make Anakin a one hit kill beast with all forms of damage using raw strength, massive strikes and all of them

I like to build Anakin with Attraction + All At Once because he one hit regular troopers except heavy with less risk and lower cooldown than heroic might

What about his stamina per kill card

Have you done an updated Iden guide?

Hero definitely needs a rework. Anakin's main ability in cw and rots was him breaking his opponents stamina and defences. According to movie his stamina is greater than Dooku's but slightly weaker than Obi Wan's and also he focused more on combat rather than using the Force. Game does the opposite - he has a Force based abilities and shit stamina.

He doesn't need a "rework" he just needs his bugs fixed. He can do a chain of 3 knockdowns back to back with a 4th ability that's a block breaker, plus he hits like a truck with his swings. If you want 'lore Anakin' then you need to use Steamroll, it fixes his stamina issue.

I love his clone wars costume.

for anyone wondering, the starcards he listed for GA are not the way to go about it. 100 extra hp quite literally only benefits you if your health drops below 100. That means for most of the game it does nothing, and if you play well enough you never really need it. Second, while the other two are fine, the much better choice is the two pull dominance cards (extra range + extra dmg when hitting 2 opponents) because this enables you to more easily catch heroes, troopers (and with the extra range you will almost always get onehit kills and set up your heroic might. With the bonus dmg star card for heroic might you then have even more dmg and can jump into stuff and just slam everybody. The extra range on heroic might starcard is nice, but how often are you surrounded by too many people for pull to make sense, and the extra range would have actually benefitted you?

When you do the math, you save stamina by using massive strikes because 2 strikes take 200% stamina and 1 strike with the star card will take 150%. That's why Anakin sweats use this card, it's not about time

It's important to note that, although the card states his saber attacks now drain more stamina, the stamina penalty actually applies to all stamina related costs. So when using this card, Anakin's Saber Attacks, Saber/Melee Blocks and Bolts Deflected all consume more of his stamina than without using the card.

Yes!!M YESSSSSS

If you recommend the health increase for every hero/villain, that recommendation is meaningless. IF all players choose to increase the health by 100, that increase is meaningless. The reason behind that selection is also unwise. The star cards should be changed based on the opponent's star cards (at least in hvv modes).
