Someone explain to me the point to the hero vs hero mode?

Whats the point in playing anybody but ranged heroes?

They are completely OP and even flanking them and attacking them from behind with any of the lightsaber heroes is pointless because they just turn around and blast you to oblivion no matter what you do.

If you spam attack with a lightsaber, chances are a blaster hero will be able to kill you.

Remember that you can block blaster bolts, they can’t block a lightsaber. Lightsaber heroes have a distinct defensive advantage.

Without teamwork, the chances of a blaster hero beating a turtling lightsaber hero are slim

Use your dodge to weave in and out of the line of fire. Deflect bolts when it’s advantageous. Use your force abilities to knock them down or draw them closer.

They can only dodge a maximum of 3 times in a row, if you swing your lightsaber wildly you’ll probably run out of stamina by the time they run out of dodges. Swing once, let them dodge it, do it again until their dodges are spent; after that you can go ham. But be cautious, some blaster heroes have explosives that can eat through your block or knock you down

I realize there is a block, but it doesnt actually seem to do anything. I'm sat there holding block and I'm still getting torn apart by their gun. It doesnt make any sense

That’s because blocking drains stamina, you can only block for so long before they break through. That’s why it’s important to use it sparingly

I know it’s tricky, but the grass isn’t greener on the other side. As a blaster hero you’ll find that dealing with lightsaber heroes is just as frustrating

HvV is just something that takes getting used to in order to understand how characters should be played

Blaster heroes are typically more difficult to play than saber heroes, what with all the lock-on lunging and what-not. Every hero plays differently, so it's a matter of figuring out each of their strengths and weaknesses.

HvV is undoubtedly one of the more 'competitive' modes in Battlefront. Keep practicing, watch what the good players do, and always stay with your teammates.

Boba Fett is insane for kiting and dmg. Leia is insane for burst. The other ranged heroes aren't as good. Han is very circumstantial. Phasma is good for camping

gen grievous and mabye palp are the only ones with no defense
