Anakin Skywalker’s brute force and abilities with the Force itself make him a cunning warrior and a good friend, one that players will need to learn if they are to create the best Anakin Skywalker build in Battlefront 2, aided further by his vast selection of powerful Star Cards.

9 Control the Force

Increase the Radius for Heroic Might

Increased Radius	2	3	4	5
Tiers	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic

The base radius of HEROIC MIGHT is larger.

Heroic Might can be charged to have a larger radius and force all enemies inside to fall over and take damage, but sometimes the radius isn’t as good as players want. With Control the Force, the base radius of Heroic Might is increased to a maximum of 5, leaving room for a large area for Anakin to use the Force and topple his enemies. While somewhat useless in duels, this becomes great in game modes like Supremacy, where enemies are aplenty, allowing Anakin to make a charge for his Clone Trooper allies.

8 Attraction

Further Range of Anakin’s Force Pull Ability

Increased Range	2	3	4	5
Tiers	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic

PULL DOMINANCE has a greater range.

Anakin’s Force Pull ability, Pull Dominance, is great for dealing with pesky characters with blasters. Whether it’s Palpatine or Captain Phasma, Anakin can pull them towards him and slash them into ribbons before they can dodge away – but what if they are too far away, or what if Boba Fett is a flying menace with his jetpack? Luckily, Attraction will increase the range of Anakin’s Pull Dominance ability, ensuring that nobody can escape his heroic Force Pull to bring them into the jaws of his attacks.

7 All of Them

More Damage for Pull Dominance if Fewer Enemies Are Affected

Enemies Affected	5	4	3	2
Tiers	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic

PULL DOMINANCE deals fifty more damage if a minimum number of targets are affected.

Pull Dominance is great for bringing enemies towards Anakin by pulling even the most defensive of blaster heroes out of their safety nets and into Anakin’s lightsaber swings. With All of Them, Pull Dominance will deal 50 more damage if Anakin manages to snag a few enemies with the same ability, meaning that’s a 50+ damage boost for Anakin’s best ability if 2 enemies (or more) are captured, leaving them weak and vulnerable for a follow-up lightsbaer lunge and swing, but the fact it needs a few enemies means this ability is only really going to shine in Supremacy where there are multiple Battle Droids.

6 Raw Strength

More Damage for Heroic Might

Increased Damage	20	30	40	50
Tiers	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic

HEROIC MIGHT deals more base damage.

Heroic Might is a decent ability for Anakin that can be charged up to deal more damage with a greater radius of effect that can knock enemies down to the ground, and Raw Strength will further increase the damage dealt by this ability. The damage bonus is pretty nice, and goes to show why Anakin was nerfed in the first place. With Raw Strength, players can get a quick charge of damage off against the hordes of Battle Droids or in a 1v1, provided the opponent hasn’t dodged or blocked the attack.

5 Pressure

More Damage for Passionate Strike’s Final Hit

Increased Damage	10	15	20	25
Tiers	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic

PASSIONATE STRIKE's final hit deals more damage.

With Passionate Strike acting as Anakin’s offense ability that will see him break an enemy’s guard by using a heavy attack through their block, it might benefit players to keep the pressure on enemies that won’t stop trying to parry or block their attacks by using the Pressure Star Card, which will always keep the pressure on. Pressure increases the final hit damage of Passionate Strike, which is always unblockable, and requires players to try and dodge out of the way, making for a great Star Card specific to dueling other lightsaber characters.

4 Fierce Fighter

Reduce the Cooldown of Passionate Strike

Reduced Cooldown	1	2	3	4
Tiers	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic

The cooldown time of PASSIONATE STRIKE is reduced.

Passionate Strike is one of Anakin’s best abilities, as the final hit of Passionate Strike will cut through the enemy’s defenses, even if they are blocking. With that in mind, players might want to try out Fierce Fighter because it means that they can use Passionate Strike quicker as the cooldown will be reduced, which gives players an opportunity to constantly use Passionate Strike to stop their opponents from blocking by opening them up to a heavy attack that cannot be countered.

3 Steamroll

Increase Anakin’s Stamina for Damaging Enemies

Maximum Stamina Cost Reduction	25%	30%	35%	40%
Tiers	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic

Every enemy trooper defeated or 200 damage to villains decreases all of Anakin Skywalker's stamina costs by 2% to a maximum. This effect resets when Anakin is defeated.

Steamroll is a great Star Card for players who intend to stay alive as Anakin Skywalker, as it will increase Anakin’s stamina based on the damage that Anakin deals to enemy troopers and villains. For every trooper kill and every 200 damage to a Dark Side Hero, Anakin’s stamina increases by 2%, to a maximum of 40%. This is a huge increase in stamina that will benefit the most patient of players who intend to fight for a long time, pairing perfectly with Massive Strikes to counter the loss of stamina in the first place with each lightsaber swing. If players intend to dominate the battlefront, then Steamroll might be the Star Card they are looking for to provide Anakin with an aggressive demand for kills, and the patience to block and parry attacks.

2 Massive Strikes

Deal More Damage, But Have Less Stamina

Increased Lightsaber Damage	5	10	15	20
Increased Stamina Cost	35%	35%	25%	25%
Tiers	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic

Anakin Skywalker deals more damage with his lightsaber attacks, but they drain more stamina.

The best strategy for Anakin is to ignore Obi-Wan’s plea about how the strongest defense is a swift and decisive offense, and instead, rely solely on rage and aggression. As such, Massive Strikes might benefit players, especially in duels, as it will provide Anakin’s lightsaber with bonus damage of up to 20 damage per swing. However, this does come at an increased stamina cost, but it’s nothing too drastic, and just means players have to be more careful and precise when they decide to land a few blows with their laser sword.

1 Tenacious

Increase Anakin’s Total Health

Increased Health	25	50	75	100
Tiers	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic

Anakin Skywalker has increased maximum health.

More health is always a good idea when it comes to playing as a hero, especially a lightsaber-wielder like Anakin Skywalker, who will constantly be on the frontlines during duels and against Battle Droids. While an extra 100 health might not seem like a sizable chunk, it will make Anakin absorb more damage thanks to his already generous health pool, and that extra health might be the difference between an extra lightsaber swing and certain death, allowing Anakin to heal back what was lost and overwhelm his enemies.
