GENERAL GRIEVOUS - Updated Hero Guide (2021) - STAR WARS Battlefront 2 

The most important tip for Grievous, don’t block blasters

Honestly when clicking on this video i expected it to be some small low quality star wars fan page video, but i was pleasantly surprised when i saw that it was actually really well done and high quality. I'll definitely be checking out more of your channel!

As a grevious main my number 1 tip is to always be jumping and dodging

The flesh is weak card bumps grievous’s health from 800 to 1042, so an extra 242 health for anyone curious how much it gives you

Yes, my man, still dutifully pumping out content when we are in sort of a sad state for star wars games. It means a lot. seriously. It does.

The nostalgia is amazing, thanks for still constantly uploading for the past few years bro

I'm one of those strange beings that play mostly hero showdown and the claw rush damage reduction is important in higher play because its an easy parry and sabers do lock onto it. Its a good advantage as u recover stamina while they lose it.

3:07 bb8’s cable spin and Chewbacca’s bow caster also go through

Dude my heart skips a beat every time you update a guide Bc I’m so hyped for them. Love you man♥️

Something i recommend with the Claw Rush is to try cancelling the ability at the very moment that it hit with the Rush, and also remember that the Rush can hit the same enemy twice, so if you hit an enemy, try to turn around and hit them again. Another Star Card I recommend on the large scale game modes specially in very compact areas (like the corridors of the Death Star) is Deadly Slashes as that extra damage with Unrelenting Advance can be very helpful when dealing with tight groups of enemies

Beating heart, flesh is weak, and the extended thrust is the best universal set up I find - the extended thrust allows you to close distance rapidly, so the issue he has with blasters is mitigated more.

Btw quick tip for ga or suprem. Greivous's blocking blaster bolts changes depending on range. If think this is either unique or a bug. At colse range he blocks five blaster bolts, but at range, for me at least it seems he can block 12. However this only works on infantry, not heroes. That is what makes me think its a bug. Also greivous cannot defect back to where blasters are being shot, making him the only saber hero who cannot reflect blasters at troops

I think Obi-Wan is a character to beware of cuz grievous heavily relies on his abilities and Obi-Wan's middle ability has only 1 use and that's to kill a grievous

Ceaseless assault is really underrated for heroes vs villains, 40% damage reduction while in unrelenting advance makes is very usable in those modes if you know what you're doing, essentially let's you drain the enemies stamina for free and if they do dodge around and land a hit, it's minimal and gives you time to turn on them again

I really like using Jedi Killer, Deadly Slashes, and Line Up Weaklings for trooper modes. It turns all his abilities into one hit kills on anything smaller than a heavy. Also the added 50% to thrust surge range really throws people off, and can give you another way to slip out of a bad spot by yeeting yourself across the theed throne room

Just as an example of Grievous’ super low block stam, blocking Lando’s Sharp Shot or whatever it’s called will drain your entire stamina bar.

Thanks for still doing these! BF2 still going strong... I would just wish that EA would allow dice devs to utilizes ready made mods and old assets to make more content for Battlefront after Battlefield 6 is released

Thanks for the guides bro I just got into battlefront and was struggling a bit but practiced and followed you’re advice and tips you gave in these guide videos and now I’m doing really well thanks for having us noobs backs subscribed 😎

A little tip for grevious I picked up is that unrelenting advance is a great way to approach an enemy shooting at you. Activate it, walk forward, cancel it, and then kill the enemy without taking much damage. Works quite well against a lot of enemies in front of you as well

I have played grievous a heck ton of a lot and one thing I find overlooked in this video is the starcard that improves the range of the saber leap(forgot the name). Since its a bit buggy it will nearly always get you to the enemy even around corners, also the leap is very fast so you are almost unhittable while using the ability, and another great thing about it, if you use this ability instead of clawrush to get into the fight, then you will always have an easy way out if you ever get out of stamina. Not to forget that if you hit a hero with the ability they will get knocked down and you can get a couple free hits on them

This will make a fine addition to my battlefront 2 collection

Not to overwhelm or ruin your schedule but I’ve been asking for about a week for a palps guide thanks keep up the good work.

Movie: Unrelenting advance Game: Unrelenting defence Movie: Clawrush escape Game: Clawrush killstreak

Tip if you're going against a blaster hero thrust surge into basic attack into claw rush into another basic swing. If they don't dodge the initial thrust surge they're almost guaranteed to die bc the rush will hit through their dodge after your first swing knocking them down and giving you an almost guaranteed follow up hit

In GA I do switch the sith trained star card for the ‘flesh is weak’ star card.

Most important few tips with grevious is you shouldn’t be blocking unles you are against another saver hero and you should be constantly jumping and dashing when in the open because it makes him impossible to hit. Also just look to get into tight areas/corridors and use claw rush it is so easy to rack up kills that way.

This was uploaded on my birthday!!! A hero guide for my favorite villain

I love using Jedi Killer in HvV. The extended range on thrust surge really helps close the gap and catch fleeing heroes

Also I’ve got veteran greivouis but I’ll never know how much this takes thank you for your content.

Finally a grievous guide

Grievous actually blocks better against sabers and if you timing is right 1v1 fights can be plenty victorious that's just what I've noticed once I got the hang of using him

I use Gevious just so I can say, *.“your lightsaber will make a fine addition to my collection”.*

Yeah I wouldn't recommend using unrelenting advance, even without the glitch, it's still bad it only works a bit against new/braindead players, because with old/normal ones it's so easy to counter it. If it's against troopers, you'll probably get spammed by explosions or get behind you (i think it doesn't have a damage reduction without the ceaseless assault star card) if it's against heroes, with blaster ones pretty much the same as troopers, with lightsaber heroes they'll retreat, spam their push abilities or the rush/dash ones which can damage through your ability's block. The funniest part about it is the many times it's mentioned this ability works pretty well in close hallways spots. Even in this situation, the enemy can just roll/dash through your character's ability and get behind you already, which is really bad and I said this by experience because there was a time I wanted to give this ability a use, sacrificing 2 star cards slots just to upgrade it. I wish this ability could get his 2 star cards attributes as default (with this I mean having the +40% damage reduction and +40 damage without having the 2 star cards on) it would make it a bit more worth to use Good guide by the way.

Thanks for the tips, I just started playing( ik I’m hella late) and there is clearly a huge skill gape between me and my opponent. Thanks again and hopefully these tips can help me close that gape 😄

I know this is a guide for kindof beginners but his bunny hop jump attacks make his swing speed insane which nobody that’s good with him doesn’t really use his regular attacks also in hvv and hero showdown always equip the cowardly retreat card because a lot of players with keep partying your claw rush to take some peri mins at health away and having that 90% damage reduction stops them from doing that.

I know you covered this but I love the flesh is weak star card as it saves me from dying in situations I would never survive or leave me with so much more health, combos really well with Beating Heart as well.

something i like to do with unrelenting advance at least in hero modes is only use it for a brief moment then cancel it just to do a little damage and kinda disorient my enemy

Be careful of thrust surge against lightsaber hero’s, they can parry and get 2 hits in before your animation is over

What I like to use for hvv is Jedi killer, momentum, and betting heart because I just feel like thrust surge is really good with these cards but this is just my opinion because I try to play really aggressive with grievous and I likely will end up having to chase down a hero and honestly I find it so funny when grievous is just flying through the air 😂

I agree, staying mobile is the best way to play Grievous in my experience

YES! I've been waiting for this hero guide!

Grievous's star cards are very situational but good overall. I would use Sith-trained in trooper modes because then you do more damage to them. Line up weaklings is also a good card for trooper modes. For the last card, you can do whatever. For hero modes, I usually go beating heart, Flesh is weak, and cowardly retreat. It might be a surprise, but it's useful to get away, and maximize the beating heart card, so you can regen and stay safe. But these are what I prefer.

These videos are extremely helpful. Thanks for making them. You got a sub.

Seriously man, really appreciate all the work you put into these! They’re great! You’re awesome!

I use jedi killer star card in hvv. It grants more range for theust surge, which is great for closing the distance beetwen you and other heroes

I said do grievous next and you did it, great job man!! 😂😅

I know cinematic tools stopped working for Bf2, but there still is another application called open game camera. its really cool and makes upper the loss of cinematic tools. Just thought i'd let you know.

Brilliant hero guide as usual Sammy!!! I’m always so happy to see your videos! Hopefully not too long before you can get back into the streaming business 👌😁😁

This will help me play as my favorite war criminal

In all honesty I see "cowardly retreat" as a great way to charge up to blaster heroes because of the 90% damage reduction

I don't think or don't remember you mentioning his stamina when blocking blasters so as far as I can tell he can only block 3 blaster bolts before completely being drained of stam .

Hey bro, I respect all the hard work you been doing. Keep up the good work! Earned a new sub.

Bro your video format and editing is so good

I suck as grievous even on co-op, ima definitely used these tips thx

I get what your saying. but for HVV and HS I would choose these cards Beating heart. Flesh Is Weak. And Line up. Weaklings. If that doesn't seem to work then I would use this: Beating Heart. Flesh Is Weak And: Unrelenting Advance. I use unrelenting advance card because it gives damage reduction for well...Unrelenting Advance. I can use it in choke points or in other various situations and it usally gets me out of those tight situations. But after watching this video. Cowerdly retreat could actually be a REALLY solid choice, So thanks for waking me up to this. Anyways thats my opinion And I'll talk to ya soon. Ba - bye!

Quality guide as usual, keep it up! Would love to see you tackle some showdown specific teams of you're interested.

I use line up weaklings , flesh is weak & Jedi Killer (thrust surge from further away) Makes it so much easier to kill those damn rocket troopers when they try to fly off after hitting you with a rocket . Thank me later lol

In my opinion General Grivious is the second best character in the game behind vader. *FOR HERO MODES* He has amazing survivability (3rd best in game) Best damage for a lightsaber without using an ability. An escape card which does too much damage and his jump is springy which makes him able to spam jump attack. His thrust surge is great at chasing fleeing enemies but is buggy. Love Grivious and I want to see someone else opinion.

Cowardly retreat is not a very good card in my opinion. Sure 90% damage reduction is good, but it's only usefull when you're using it to escape. I thinks it's better to use the line up weaklings card, bcs you already have 50% damage reduction when using claw rush and you do 180 damage. Beating heart speaks for itself and flesh is weak makes you very tanky

Hey man thanks ALOT for the content you made for your hero guides

Thanks dad🙌🏻 anakin next?!

I generally lunge in,attack for a bit,Unrelenting Assault if I’m cornered,then Spider out of there.I also think that because of how Gamechanging UA is,Investing into the cards for it are worth while

You should play Grevious like a Guerilla Warrior: Hide, Attack, repeat and youre good. Just like a real General you should never be the Center of the Battle but have a good overview of the Battlefield and only strike when you have a good chance of surviving

That sweaty Luke was probably pissed when you killed him lol😆

Going through watching all your hero updates goes to show how differently people use other characters.

Thanks man great content keep it up you definitely earned a subscriber!!!

He is kinda op, the stamina sucks but the damage is just much

grievous is exposed to all abilities while in unrelenting advantage expect for blaster bolts and basic lightsaber attacks

Maining Grevious I have come to learn a deep hatred for enemy Wookies especially Chewwie. They dish out so much damage so quickly especially if you dont have a block

great video, really helped me! well done amazing

if you drop grievous into capital supremacy defence at some points you just cannot lose, the one guy that was using grievous only died when he had 66,000 points so he just went straight back into him

As someone 3 days in, I've found saber heroes require a finese characters like the Enforcer, or blaster heroes like Iden do not require. I'm not trying to say they are inferior. I'm very used to being literally struck down (FFS DRODIKA), they just seem so much harder. When you see skilled combatants it's very impressive and they absolutely slaughter, but my god it is not something you can learn without many a defeat

This helps out alot as I'm a vet with Grievous. Although it does get more difficult to play with him if you're very aggressive. Any tips with managing him in aggressive plays?

Watched for 13 minutes and 24 seconds, instantly got a 9k game in HvV (as opposed to 3-4)

btw i dont know if you know this but he also knocks down nearby enemies when using thrust surge

The chose one needs an updated guide lmao

I utilise his abilities as a defensive and offensive play for that he is my favourite hero to play as. Love destroying blaster players with him because he fast lol

What sensitivity to use for blaster and saber heroes?

Instead of line up weaklings I use the extra range for thrust surge And I use Flesh is Weak and beating heart

It’s been a while lol, I haven’t been keeping up with the channel recently but I’m back!!

Combine Beating Heart and Flesh is Weak and you literally won’t die unless you’re a fool. Line Up Weaklings for the third of course

Tbh I don’t agree W hvv stuff cauz if u wanna close the distance the extra distance thrust surge card is way better and more felxible. Also he STILL has a block that can stop a blaster hero for 3 seconds and unrelenting advance literally blocks more blaster abilities (aside from leia alt fire and Han detoninte charge) so I think he is really good for shutting down blaster hero’s and his attacking unrelenting advance card is good against new players as the swing into your blade. If anyone wants to comment I’d love to take the discussion further

Perfect timing i rly want to play grievous but im terrible at him

i rip cowardly retreat w/ line up weaklings, turns claw rush into probably the best ability in the game

wonderful video

Mmm A fine addition to my collection

Jedi killer over cowardly retreat is better. You already get a damage reduction with claw rush, and best save that to get away if needed. Jedi killer allows you to instantly jump on top of your target.

The cards that I prefer for general grievous is Jedi killer, smith trained and line up weaklings.

You’re a Legend!!

This is true with the maps Naboo is so fun with grievous

thanks for the gide

I use line up weaklings,cowardly retreat and beating heart.

I get kill streaks so much easier with grievous than any other character… this morning I hopped on, played one whole round with him, I got 17 eliminations, 1 assist 9 kill streak and one death… still came in 5th place…. Ugggh… but grievous is good, mostly because his abilities make him so unpredictable, most people approach him like he is a glass cannon, which yes and no…. I don’t use cowardly retreat anymore, I took up deadly slashes instead… unrelenting advance is one that nobody really uses or expects because it’s so clunky… and when others try to read you, they are only read the rush and surge, they completely forget the advance ability since it’s so rarely used… so I force myself to very low stamina which is easy to do with grievous…. And wait for the spam swingers… back against the wall, activate it, which usually does the job, if not they back off, cancel into claw rush, finish it… or even claw rush cancel into unrelenting advance…. I’ll never use sith trained because he has a stamina problem as is, the extra damage is inconsequential to me as I’d rather have more stamina to parry attackers and bait them into their abilities… but managing his stamina between his abilities is so easy to do, I almost forget how winded he gets very quickly until there’s a goddamn leia or han hiding behind some rock half way across the map n $&*t… point is, grievous is nasty! I love playing the characters that everyone thinks are trash, obi, grievous, yoda, Rey, maul, palp….. I actually find the skywalkers or skywalker players or mains aren’t very good at all, I can’t stand playing as ani or Luke, I feel limited into only one approach to everything…. Ragdoll, ledge, rush, pull, push push push… but in your face, a real duel… I haven’t seen them overcome the handicaps you have to with these other highly underestimated hero’s who are so much more versatile

Idk why but grievous is one of those hero’s that I can pick up without and prior practice for the day and play, the easiest

Can you do an updated kylo guide

Thank you :)

I saw a comment say Jedi killer is actually 35% not 50% so idk But also Jedi killer has a bug where it can hit stuff in an invisible line farther past the first enemy hit

In dark side I always use dooku and kylo and I’m trying to get good with grievous

We Really REALLY need the Grievous With the Cape For BF2 like it’s been too long

I miss this game
