Favourite hero to use. Did not know he could block! Can really dominate when you spawn the guards. Your cockroach comparison is accurate. Nice job man!
+Bombastic Gamer Films My fav to use recently as well. His block is actually OP, it works from like all angles when you use it. I always call him the cockroach.
Solid video, Palpatine was always my favorite villain. Many people don't know how to use him properly. I wonder if their feelings on this matter are clear...
Thanks so much for this guide, Otaku! This guy used to be my worst hero, now I'm actually alright with him! You're a really skilled player and thanks for sharing you knowledge with us.
Still say it, very sweet content you offer man. My battlefront experience has improved a LOT since I took your tips into account. Regarding people on how to not suck at Darth Vader is easy: Vader is a short range player so avoid open areas and stick to your teamates. Second, try to take out enemy infantry mostly with the Saber Throw, leave the force choke and the saber rush for desperate situations and for moments when you want to inflict as much damage as possible on heroes and hard to kill targets. Any other stuff I forgot feel free to post down in the comment for others to see, till we get a video on Otaku's tips.
Vader's lack of speed makes him vulnerable in open spaces so it's better to stick in close combat areas in order to offset that. Although, very nice logic into saber throw and force choke ranges, I will give them a try man!
I am 54 and new to gaming. I love Battlefront! But I suck at it. Practice makes perfect and I've made it to rank 28 so far. I have looked at a few tip videos for Battlefront, and there are few that are as comprehensive and actually helpful as yours. I can't wait to practice not sucking when I play the heros. Thank you!
Recently I've found that I like to stick with Greedo when I play as Palpatine. Greedo provides a range advantage that Palpatine doesn't have. If you keep Greedo's health topped up and use chain lightning to stun enemies for Greedo to hammer away at, they can be a deadly duo.
One day, in the very near future I'll be able to say on your 1 million subs video i was their at 3000, don't stop mate your a legend and your videos are amazing. Keep it up!
I've have been subscribing you since I watched your first two videos(because I liked them so much), and now that I have watched the rest of the videos I think it was right to do so. I love your videos, they are really helpful, and I think you should have more subcribers.
Ton pote Gilbert Yeah, you and me both. I will try to figure something out, to help everyone but that kind of video can take a while to get all the footage.
I have never picked any other hero than Palpatine since day one. Not so much because of the playstyle at first, but because of that trollish "Umad?" smile that looks very fitting on killcams. For the reference, you can search the "Let the butthurt fow through you" image macro.
This is not an Emperor Palpatine post but thank you for the tips and everything bro! I have gotten better in a day! Was doing my objectives with a K/D of 45-2!!!!!!!! it felt awesome hahaha
+MyProductions0006 Not fast enough, I spend like 50+ hours a week on youtube and make nothing in return. If I want to keep doing this the same way then I need to grow quick or get more donations.

+OTAKU patience my young padawan. If this acceleration continues you'll have 10k within a week :) not one youtuber made big money from their channel within the first month. you'll get there.
MyProductions0006 Yeah, just a lot of crazy stuff is going on IRL that I'm trying to balance as well, so it's got me a little on edge. I don't need big money, just don't want to be eating from a garbage bin lol!
+OTAKU I really hope you're not actually eating from a garbage bin lol. I really do hope this channel has 100k subs by this summer. You talked about it in one of your previous vids, but playing other games could also help this, like BF4 or something. :)
+OTAKU thats the downside to youtubing. You could spend a whole day working, and only make 30 bucks. In a way, youtube is a gamble. It can pay off more than a regular job, but can put you into some sticky situations.
I love Palpatine in Hero Hunt, I feel that if you try to at least hide a bit, and get them all together and use that chain lightning. Ugh, best feeling when you get like 4 or more kills. He may not be as powerful as Luke and the other heroes, but with a good strategy and technique; he is one of the funnest.
When I play as light Saber wielding hero, I usually stick behind the other two heroes because I know that the enemy is usually going to try to flank and won't expect a strong hero
Palpatine has been my favourite hero/villain since the games' release... Always makes me die a little inside when I see someone misuse him: easiest and best hero/villain.
OscarGaming You can get an external capture device that you just connect to your console and to a computer. It actually gives you much higher quality then the default capture functions. As for motivation...I started this to help the community but I also do love making videos and cutting together bad-ass gameplay with cool animations and stuff. I guess, if you don't want to do it then just don't, RU-vid isn't for everyone.
I have avoided him for the most part but given he and Leia more of a go recently with a different mindset as you recommend. You can afford to be much more aggressive with Leia given her offensive abilities but not so much with Palpatine. His attacks are just too slow and the range is too limited. so I just tried to, as you said, slink around and pick off enemies where I can but continually drop off pick ups for the supporting players. Certainly lived longer this way, can't tell exactly how much stronger it made my team but I guess that's the best way to play him.
+CSD 1409 Sounds like you did it right. I know it may not feel like you are being the most productive, but think of it like this. Just staying alive while their heroes die off is giving your team the advantage and possibly the win. It's not about getting tons of kills and taking on heroes, it's just about not dying.
Hey could you do a video on Bodyguards? After all, protecting your heroes/villains is the main goal of Heroes Vs Villains. Just suggesting. Love your content, keep up the good work! (You're almost at 4,000 subscribers, too!)
+Imperial Pizzaservice Thanks bro, and I usually order from Pizza Hut or Boston pizza, everywhere else in my city tastes like I'm eating plastic cheese and leftover toppings. All pizza from them is good.
+OTAKU I have another question but before I'm sorry for my bad english because I'm swiss So the quesrion is : do you used the bowcaster before the patch ? I used it and i was the happiest Battlefront player in the galaxy but no EA has destroid it 😥😢😥😢😭😭
My absolute favourite villain. Self heals in hero vs villains. Can fly and scare enemies by 'jumping'. Chain lighting and guards. God his laugh is creepy
Hey man! Really appreciate your videos. Finaly a guy not yelling silly stuff into his camera but giving out worthy information! Since I saw you using scan pulse very often how usefull do you think it is with the new patch? I have the feeling they reduced the duration of seeing you oponents. What do you think?
+Fett_Li Hey, thanks a lot...I do try to make sure my videos have value and substance, none of that 13 year old behavior. I do use scan pulse in a lot of my videos but that's just coincidental, I actually use explosive shot and other things much more often. I think it's still usable but the is a huge difference. You can no long use it to track down and take out multiple opponents, now it's more of a "use in dangerous situations to know enemy positioning" type use.
I always pick Palpatine or Leia in Walker Assault. It's the best choice for making your team win. First, Shocktroopers and Honour Guards are a real advantage, and if you play well enough with those heroes, you can get a lot of kills and stay alive much longer than with Luke or Darth. Plus you can give your team mates power ups. Personnaly I prefer a slightly lower K/D rate and a win than a high rate and a loss. I just hate to lose ;p
Think about it, as Otaku said, cockroaching around, in the movies how did Palpatine manouver himself into power? By cockroaching around.. In that regard DICE did a splendid job fighting style/persona-wise, credit where it's due
+Nick Lopez Actually that very first match is an example video from the battlefront site. I use them on my hero videos for the part where the hero talks in the intro, because it's nice and clear.
Wasn't he 80-something and wielded a cane by this time, as shown in Return of the Jedi? He would never dispatch himself to do dirty work, and his red guards would be near him at all times. But don't get me wrong it's no excuse for having him as playable character, as he was badass but always overlooked/under appreciated. Would be cool to see an old Palpatine using a lightsaber though despite whatever he said about them, or doing something other than lightning. Also off-topic the Revenge of the Sith's Palpatine looked less scrawny (more bulky) than the Return of the Jedi Palpatine, but again probably due to him being decades younger than in ROTJ, that or different makeup & costume choices during the film making. (ep 3 Palpatine looked like he was wearing a full face mask, while ep 6 Palpatine looked like he had white paint with glued on ridges/wrinkles).
I'm usually playing Battlefront alone, it's hard to catch all my friends online at the same time. So what advice do you have for those of us who are often flying Solo?! I would love to see a vid from you on the subject sometime!
I can't even begin to count the amount of people I've seen die because they don't use the shield against Luke's lightsaber attacks. A combination of stunning and shield really gets him good.
No, he uses the force, by exemple look Valkorion when he is attacked by Arcann, Valkorion blocks the attacks of Arcann but it is not a sith lord. So Palpatine uses the force.
+daaf punk Palpatine Does Not Use The Light Side Of The Force. He Uses The Dark Side Of The Force But You Don't Have To Be A Sith To Use The Dark Side. Jedi Who Wield Purple Lightsabers Are In Touch With Both Sides Of The Force And Will Use Both.
Apparently my strategy being a hero is killing 1 person then having a bad connection to the Playstation Network coming back in time to get killed. Having said that....when I got to be Boba Fett it was a glorious 30 seconds of fun..
Same here man I used to think like oh he fuckin sucks he useless than I finally figured out how to fight and kill using his powers carefully one of my top favorite heros now
+Francisco Magarino I do it once in a while when I know for sure that my view is going to be obstructed in some tunnels, but I never seem to show it in my videos lol.
Ok i have some issues with this video for one iv noticed that none of these videos included any standard troops using the bacta bomb to their advantage another thing i noticed was that no one you was fighting had explosive shot combined with beserker trait another thing is that his lightning is way to weak how is he support if he takes an entire meter to kill one honor guard? another thing is that his healing ability only gives you 16 points of health back another issue is he has slow cool down times another thing is that his lightning has a very limited range and another thing i hated hearing was the emperor being compared to a cock roach were talking about the most feared villain in the galaxy having to be used with a cock roach play style we are talking about the guy lord vader calls master bows down to and serves that to me kills the joy of being the emperor not only that all the new heroes coming out seem to be making him pointless to play as i love the emperor but right now he sucks i have 2 videos uploaded in my personal opinions play list for emperor palpatine about why i think he sucks as a villain i mean were tallking about the guy who fought darth maul and his brother at the same time and beat them both they turned my fav villain from a bad ass into a human vibrator and honestly dude i can do more damage as a standard troop when i use explosive shot combined with the beserker trait using a A280C or a DH-17 with Jet Pack and Bacta Bomb it is the most OP set up in this game on my video it shows how much you have to do to kill one standard troop who uses this set up this video kinda feels a bit out of date or something because these tactics are barely usable anymore unless your playing against terrible players in the game.
#1 For someone that "noticed" so many things, you failed to notice that this video was made well before Berserker trait or Bacta bomb even existed. #2 Learn to structure your fucking sentences into proper coherent paragraphs if you want people to actually read them.
OTAKU #3 People will read them anyway. #4 I "understand" that this video was made before the Bacta Bomb existed. And you did point out some good things in your video, I love playing as the emperor just because it is the emperor, but as far as gameplay his damage, cool down times, block and his abilities all just suck now. He has became an out of date character now, that is not worth using anymore. Why would i want to bust my ass for every kill when i can just choose Vader , or Greedo and kill an entire enemy team by myself without help from anyone? Han Solo can do it as well, and so can Nin Numb or how ever his name is spelt. He has just became a pointless character to use now, and please for the love of god do not use that BS line on saying that i am probably just bad with the Emperor. I have been using the Emperor since the launch of the game, and i know how to play as him he is just so weak compared to everyone else now that he has became pointless to play as.
Awesome videos and tips, but I have to ask. What was up with that badass opening intro scene with the honor guards and Palpy against the wave of rebels? I saw that they were all legitimate players, yet they didn't act like real players at all. They didn't focus any of their shots on you and they ALL missed the honor guards they were shooting at completely... It was honestly really cool to watch and looked extremely cinematic, like something you would actually see in a star wars film, but it just bugged me how unrealistic that was for how this game normally plays out. Was it staged with friends to make a cool intro or were you just playing LITERALLY the worst gamers in all of battlefront's player base, somehow confined to a tiny area in front of Palpy just awaiting their impending doom? I'm not flaming you if you staged this (it honestly looked really cool), I'm just really interested how this actually played out because I've never seen this shit in game.
