EA The Chosen One remains the best.
The Chosen One update is almost here in Star Wars Battlefront 2 and with it is coming the long-awaited Jedi Anakin Skywalker.
A community transmission went out today, February 22, detailing all of his moves, voices and outfits, as we’ve seen with the additions of heroes before.
A lot of people might remember Anakin’s line about hating sand in Attack of the Clones and it appears DICE has embraced the meme and added it into the game.
A few months ago the community asked for a “I hate sand” voice line. I talked with our (awesome) Narrative Director and we agreed that if the community gets 5k Signatures we’d do it.
You can read more about Anakin Skywalker in the transmission below.
Abilities
Passionate Strike
Anakin unleashes a heavy strike, breaking his opponent’s guard and dealing high damage.
Heroic Impact
Anakin is more resistant to attack while holding the ability. When released, he pushes enemies away from him, the range and strength of his attack being multiplied by the damage he would typically be susceptible to.
Pull Dominance
Anakin pulls enemies in front of him to a center point, leaving them open for attacks.
Retribution
Anakin’s powers intensify whenever he and any nearby allies are attacked, building towards the ultimate punishment of a swift and inescapable grip seizing all enemies around him.
