YODA - Updated Hero Guide (2021) - STAR WARS Battlefront 2 

Yoda should’ve been given a 4th ability since he is the grand master

Yoda should really be the most overpowered light side hero as he represents the Light Side. Size matters not

One very important thing to realize about Yoda is some side effects of his block. Yoda blocks using the force instead of his lightsaber. Blaster Bolt absorption has already been discussed in the video *BUT* when Yoda blocks _Force Abilities_ the charged energy *stays.* This effect is considerably pronounced in duels against Palpatine. His regular lightning attacks count as force abilities as well and thus charge up his force push permanently. What is _very_ important to note is that Yoda can block Palpatine's lightning *indefinitely.* It does *_not_* drain his stamina.

The timelines of this is just perfect. Someone plz hand over a virtual tissue I have tears of joy

Bonus tip: Palpatine's lightning is absorbed permanently by Yoda's unleash. Blaster damage fades till you use the ability or absorb more damage but Palpatine's lightning will keep the ability permanently charged until you choose to use it.

I dont care what others think of yoda, hes my favorite lightsaber hero and i use him all the time! I ignore the bad stats they are still good for me. And his star cards are awesome.

Epic string if takedowns yoda has.

For HvV I run Jedi Mentor, Feel The Force, and Opposing The Dark Side. Jedi Mentor and Opposing The Dark Side combined actually gives him a base stat advantage over other saber heros unless they activate an ability (like Dooku's Duelist), in which case you should be defensive anyways. Agility is probably his most overrated card. If you have a team, and you employ a strategy where you need to be extra fast and mobile, by all means I guess. However, you already get two dashes which you shouldn't be using recklessly. He can still be hit when he uses it and it doesn't do nearly the damage of a regular swing. Two is more than enough to stop their health regen and/or finish off a low health opponent, plus you don't take the (albeit small) hit to it's regen time. I replace agility with Feel The Force. It's a no brainer, especially with the "weaker" heros. Finn, BB-8, and Leia all have cards/abilities which decrease cool down times and damage received, which stack perfectly. It really comes in handy if you're in a decent lobby, teams are sticking together and you're in a 3v4 or 2v3, etc, and your teammates are making their way back from a spawn. Or when you know you and your team are about to engage.

I think Yoda is a criminally underrated duelist. He’s probably my number one light side duelist pick for HVV and hero showdown.

Has anyone else noticed if you tap jump just before you swing, it seems to be a little faster? (At least I think so). The lock on mechanic seems to be a bit farther in the air too, both seem to fit the Ataru style.

Pro tip: You cab actually use yoda's presence mid-air and skip the animation

Tip for ketamime yoda - yoda actually has the only instant jump on the game th minute you land, yoda can jump straight away, slightly faster than other heroes. He also has the best jump swing animation

Only major tip I think that was missed is to activate presence while swinging in the air but overall def a good guide, also Knight solo if u see this, dash using circle of whatever it is on ps after ur last attack to cut out the long swing animation or jump swing and save presence for when in action or else u could get caught without it especially against a Kylo or Vader 👍 I saw u had a nice streak going though

Nice video Sammy! Even though I am a veteran player I just watch for your commentary! Keep up the great vids! My Yoda load out for large scale modes are 1. Feel the Force 2. Earned it I Have 3. Size Matters Not For hero modes 1. Opposing the Dark Side 2. Agility 3. Feel the force

I literally just started my Yoda grind. Dope.

Watched your Palpatine video, now this one. These 2 are gonna be my mains for their respective sides.

Thanks for sharing. Your videos are so cool, very proffesional, I'm inspired

What an amazing editing en expiation style, hope I’ll get better with Yoda with these tips and tricks ❤

I love these guides

I prefer cutting the extra dash (as your recharge is increased) and adding the damage vs heros card. I run the presence boosting card and the overall damage reduction card and find it strikes the best balance.. the extra dash is okay but i find I would rather take the extra damage to heros with saber swings, partly because the extra dash is parry-able and predictable and i find spamming it doesn't net me better results, plus your already mobile enough with the two dashes and dodges..

Yoda can take a lot of fight with his damage reduction card, aditational health card and his ability to heal himself in every 20 seconds.

This is really helpful, thank you!

Thank you. Yoda and grievous are my worst heroes, so this helpful.

Activating Presence to successfully buff your teammates is so tricky, plus his slow swing speed, definitely makes him one of the weaker saber heroes imo, but he can still be a beast in the right situations.

Last time to bother you but palps guide? Thank you love your vids

They really overnerfed the Unleash when they got rid of the more you charge Yoda ‘s Unleash the more damage it did. I remember when it used to do 220 damage When fully charged with the right star card. That’s when Yoda was A tier. Now I will put him in a C+.

Perfect work

I just have been looking for tips for my today and this helped

Nice Video!

"I've been looking forward to this."

i dont own the game yet but im thinking about buying it ive done alot of research on all the hero's and apparently yoga is d tier so id probably main him for the challenge, nice gameplay

Thx you

In hvv I run opposing the dark side, feel the force and jedi mentor. I feel no problem in team fights or one on ones with the grandmaster. Favorite light side main (:

For as long as I have played Battlefront II Yoda is one I yet to learn

i just bought the game can't wait to play

The goat himself

Yoda has been my GA main since launch! I also have been trying to get better in duels as him

I like to run the star card that makes the unleash ability have a bigger radius to start off instead of the feel the force.

Subscribed and liked, I did💚

Does the extra 16 lightsaber damage card work on the dash attack too or just the regular swing? EDIT. tested this in hero showdown with a friend. Extra 16 damage does NOT apply to dash attack unfortunately.

subscribed because of this vid

I've always thought he should be the most powerful lightside hero since he was a grandmaster

These videos are so interesting

Thanks

When I play yoda I have 2 builds that I tend to use. Support: where I put all my cards into boosting my team healing, and how long it lasts Attack: mixing the damage reduction, greater saber damage to villains, and stamina cards, to have a decent offensive build. Yoda is usually my last pick for combat, but my first pick for support. He can save a team with the right player.

Very good, thank you for this. Yoda is my main light side. Do you think you could do Phasma next she is very underrated.

My Yoda just can't not take damage. He's so slow and his animations make him really prone to getting hit, while he's floating around and gliding through the air. They went too far with how sluggish he is.

Yoda is definitely underrated in my opinion. He can do well in every mode and in 1v1s

If your in a fight with dooku and he uses his lightning. You can send it back at him required that you hold your block

I literally just started playing this game again, and Yoda has been my go to hero...this couldn’t have come out at a better time

The agility card is good yes, but as a Yoda main for 1v1s, I think that Lightsaber Mastery is overall better when fully maxed out. If you get your stamina drained in a duel, you’re going to have a bad time especially against a foe like Vader or Dooku.

Ya boi yo-he‼️

HEY, idk if maybe I missed when you say it but Yoda can also block the emperor's lighting infinitely

He can pump out damage when parrying he dosent have the animation so has a fast swing speed

I'm SO happy at the video and opinions and comments. Dun know

Force unleash can also deflect your friendly neighboorhood sith lord's force lightning

We need updated Trooper guides

Yoda in my opinion is more of a support hero then a stand by himself hero he’s still good at standing by himself but like I usually use him and follow other heroes and just we demolish everything

yoda is also amazing on geonosis. Due to your size and the limited visivility on the map, if you have your lightsaber disabled up until you use it you re gonna be really hard to see and get hit and you re going to get lots of kills. Also never stop moving

Finally Yoda but still waiting for Chewie

Mmm, good video, it was

Please make a guide of Anakin in 2021 🙏

This tells me everything I personally need to know about Battlefront, and corroborates with other things I’ve heard about this game’s development. They judged the strongest character in the Star Wars universe by his size, and learned nothing from the original material about Yoda. They gave him stats like he’s Oddjob from Goldeneye, but if his character was accurate at all he would be very OP.

Could you please do a obi wan or a dooku one?

Dude Yoda may be the best IMO as of recent experiences for me. I am no killstreaker by any means but I hit 101 the other day with him on Endor. As you mentioned I think that tiny hit box is a total bitch for people

Pretty sure size matters not is yodas best star card for ga/cs. I run agility on open maps like Naboo, and switch it out for Jedi mentor on maps with more cover like Endor. Hope this helps

Hey SammyBoiii i really love your vids. Just a quick question. I've been trying to record Battlefront 2 vids on my PC, however whenever i watch the recording back, it is super laggy. I use OBS Studios to record my videos. Could you please let me know how you manage to record BF 2 without any lag or what sort of program you use, or if you use OBS Studios, what settings you have on it to record with. I would really appreciate it if you replied to this comment to help me, as i have been trying to find a solution to this problem for quite a while now but to no avail, so i decided to ask you. If you do reply to me, then thank you in advance and i really appreciate it.

What mode ru playing in this im new and this seems like a fun mode

Thought of switching to pc bf2 including pc moments/footage?

Awesome vid, but i have a question, who do u think is tje best lightsaber hero (light side)

I like yoda because he's simple and since he's small people attack you less

I like Yoda but I don’t think I have ever played a HvV match where his block wasn’t bugged

Boba is a huge counter as well as vader and dooku

You didn't put that Yoda's unleash ability can counter dooku's lightning stun if used at the right time

im stuck if I want to always use opposing the dark side or also use feel the force

If you use yoda you have to know how to do jump attacks or you will get frustrated when he gets hit twice per swing.

What if you did a updated anakin hero guide

I like playing yoda I just feel like they need to fix his block attack speed and his attack hitbox

Do BB-9E or Palpatine next.

do the Presence actually work on your teammates? i thought it was still bugged?

I think the biggest Yoda issue is he offers no strong counter to any of the dark side BS you have to face. Luke's two knockdowns can have good range for hitting Palps, Boba, Bossk and Iden, and his swing speed means you can do real damage in the brief moments you can. Obi Wan is an absolute tank and can mind trick to shut down abilities, rush to close in on blasters and has a long range push. Anakin pulls the enemy blasters in close and does high damage with his combo chain and basic attacks. Rey is in a similar place to Yoda but her mind trick is really handy for shutting down enemy offense so your blasters can do work. Yoda doesn't have the same useful tricks. Being a small target is incredibly useful I suppose. Boba has a hard time landing shots, Iden is more reliant on blue balls which you can jump and dodge and Yoda is particularly hard to hit with Bossk's blaster. Palp vs Yoda is an interesting fight because you can block him all day, and when he tries to dash through you, you can either dodge backwards with him for a free saber swing or dash attack. I don't think Yoda belongs on an optimised LS team, but in good hands you can be very effective. I tend to stick with the best blaster on my team and play counter attack. A good Chewie is a dream because the enemy are forced to attack. High level Leia and Han are great too.

I’m a beast with Yoda but he should be the strongest character/light side at least in the game makes no sense….

the strangest thing is that you can do parris with yoda i did it and killed dooku wiht no problem and it makes that when you attack dosent make the jumping animation

Yaaaaay

Feel the force, agility*, Jedi mentor,

I like Yoda very much but the only problem i have is that the Presence ability sometimes doesnt heal my teammates.

Ok i will try my best to get a streak

Do obi wan next

How do you turn off a lightsaber!!!

Don’t forget he can absorb and shoot Dokus lightning.

please do an anakin guide, pls pls pls :)

Yoda is good in Supremacy and when there's lot of blaster heroes in HvV. Coop, he is a bit meh.

I like hiding on tatooine (night time) as yoda. It's pretty much impossible to see him without the radar

Hey Sammyboii, I am thinking of setting up a battlefront 2 tournament, would you be interested? If you are, what platform do you play on? ( Xbox, pc or ps4)

I would not use jedi mentor. It just gives u like 60 hp so... I would use one of his unleashed star cards instead. And in hero game modes I would use feel the force instead jedi mentor cause it helps ur team. (my opinion) Btw keep up the great work 👍

Does the card Apposing the dark side affect the dash attack?

New anakin skywalker guide when???

Alright imma say it: Yoda is both hard, and ass. I played Yoda since day 1 and even in competitive duels. I'm nowhere near my prime anymore, but he just has soooo many inconsistencies. The way this game works is by determining if your guard is up, or down. And by determining whether it hits from the front, the side, or behind. Because yoda's block is so small compared to the other heroes, almost all lightsaber hits (unless they are directly in front of you) will either just go through your block for no reason or stagger you so much to the point where you eat 300-400 damage. His swing speed. It sucks ass. While I personally think he has one of the best parry comboes in the game (perfect parry>force push) if you miss even 1 parry, be prepared to eat at least 3 swings. (Little fun fact, Yoda is the only character in the game which every single dark side hero can triple parry COMPLETELY SAFE BTW, except dooku who gets 4-5 SAFE PARRIES) His presence. 90% of the time, it straight up will not heal your team. That devalues it's utility by a considerable margin. It's still good at breaking staggers and regenerating a ton of health, but still. Force push. I personally think his force push isn't horrible, it's more it's hit registration. It works alongside his block, and sometimes you'll force push someone and they'll just completely ignore it and you take 2-3 huts when you should have had a full punish. Now the reason I played Yoda for so long is because some of his best matchups are actually against pretty top tier characters. He does better against Vader than a lot of heroes out there. He can directly open up vader's block, he makes choke much easier to deal with, he can preserve more health, and his hook is imo the third best in the game, falling behind Vader at second and grievous at number 1. His jump swing. If you use the jump swing more thay the regular swing, it's actually much more practical and safe that regular swinging. His parry is good, but if you go along the battlefield playing as a sort of offensive support, his jump swing is actually OD. it's super fast, very little ending lag, fast startup, lingering hit box, the whole shebang. And yeah, you're in the air, but presence negates any negatives if being in the air in the first place. Anywho, this is my experience ad a Yoda player. If you made it this far then you're probably as bored as I am.

His base stats are fair like he’s pretty old

Hmmmm, yes. Good video, this is. HEHEHEHEHE
