Trooper Classes
This section will give a breif overview of the trooper classes available to play in starwars battlefront II including the weapons available to them and their best star cards.
Assault Class
The assault class is the most diverse class and is the best all out slayer of the classes having guns that can be used at all ranges and situations and a great set of star cards to compliment this. With 150 hit points the have the default amount of health for a trooper class.
Weapons
The best weapon on the assault class and infact the the game is the A280, it has great range and damage however, if you don't get along with that a great alternative is the EL-16HFE which does massive damage but has a very slow fire rate making it difficult to use. The CR-2 should only be used on close quarters maps as it has a very low range stat but at those close ranges it can shred through enemies.The default gun should only be used to unlock the others as it is out classed by all the other guns in the class.
Star Cards
There is one essential card for this class and that is the health on kill card allowing you to gain up to 40 hit points back upon killing an enemy this essential for staying alive and allows you to take on multiple enemies at once. The other choices will be personal preferance but I would recomend the card that gives you the abiliy to heal for a few seconds even if you are taking damage this allows you get out of sticky situations far more easily.
Heavy Class
The Heavy class is great at close to medium ranges and having some great weapons to compliment this. Their choice of star cards allows them to have a diverse set up that can allow you to rack up the kills. On top of this they have the highest health of any trooper class in the game with 200 which helps them to more easily win those one on ones.
Weapons
The best weapon for the heavy class is the TL-50 this gun thrives in close to medium ranges having a fast fire rate and solid damage to accompany it this gun is perfect for how you should play the heavy class. The DL-15LE is great alternative to the TL-50 however it is more of an all rounder having a average fire rate and damage for the guns in the class. The FWMB-10K is a slow firing weapon and can be used at longer ranges however its damage leaves a lot to be desired and the two previous options are far better alternatives. The default gun should only be used to unlock the others as it is out classed by all the other guns in the class.
Star Cards
There are no cards that could be deemed essential for this class however I would highly recomend these two cards. The improved impact grenade is not only powerful, allowing you to one hit kill a trooper with a direct impact, but is also incredibly fun and satisfying when you get that one hit kill. The other card I would recommend is the barrage abilty which allows you're trooper to pull out a grenade launcher that shoots 3 pelets this is great to fire down a hallway or onto an objective to deal huge damage and potentially securing some kills.
Specialist Class
The specialist class thrives at long range having a choice of 4 sniper rifles which makes them great at picking off enemies from a distance. This classes abilities copliment their play style well and with some great star cards to compliment these. The specialist has the default 150 hit points bringing them inline with the assault and officer classes.
Weapons
The best weapon for the specialist is the NT-242 being the only trooper class weapon in the game able to one shot any tooper in the game this gun is very powerful one shot to the head or two to the body is all it takes. A great alternative to that is the IQA-11 able to kill in one head shot followed by a body shot it is also very powerful boasting a higher fire rate than NT-242 allowing for a quicker follow up shot. The A280-CFE isn't a great choice unless your willing to unlock the three burst attachment for the weapon which turns this gun into a monster at medium to close ranges dealing very high damage if you can hit all three shots of the burst. The default gun should only be used to unlock the others as it is out classed by all the other guns in the class.
Star Cards
There are no cards that could be deemed essential for this class however i will recomend some of the cards I beleive to be very effective firstly the stealth card which allows you to remain hidden from the mini-map when firing your weapon allowing you to be harder to detect and kill. The next star card I recomend is marksman card which allows your rifle to be cooled by up to 40% when landing a headshot allowing you to kill multiple enemies more easily. The other card choice is more personal preferance so just choose whatever you feel works for you.
Officer Class
The officer class is the support class of the game and has some great abilities to help out your team. Not only this but the officer class also has some great weapons which really pack a punch which allows the officer to be a real threat. The officer also has the best battlepoint earning set up in the game and is able to earn over 700 battlepoints off spawn which is un-matched by any other class in the game. The officer also has the default 150 hit points putting it on par with the assault and specialist classes.
Weapons
The best weapon for the officer is the SC-44C this gun is in the top 3 guns in the game especially when you unlock the rapid fire attachment allowing this gun to fired at an extremely fast rate and able to melt enemies at close to medium ranges. A great alternative is the S-5 having very high damage and range with a slower fire rate meaning this gun can be used more easily at longer ranges. The BLURRG-1120 isn't a bad choice but is only really any good at close ranges so only use this on smaller maps. The default gun should only be used to unlock the others as it is out classed by all the other guns in the class.
Star Cards
There are no cards that could be deemed essential for this class however i will recomend some of the cards I beleive to be very effective and can earn you a stupid amount of battlepoints firstly, the officers presence card allowing team mates to have a faster health regen whilst banking you battlepoints in the process. The next star card i recomend is improved battle command which gives you 25 battle points when you buff a team mate meaning at the start of the game you can earn up to 500 battlepoints with no other buffs applied. Finally the bounty hunter card to earn even more battlepoints more quickly making the officer the best way to be the to a hero.
