An official postoutlining Anakin’s abilities and statsdescribed him as “one of the strongest” heroes in the game. “Anakin’s ability to unleash a barrage of fast, devastating attacks is unlike any other Jedi and set him on another level.” To compensate, he’s not as powerful as other characters defensively.
He has four main abilities to channel his rage:
The blog post also goes into his various voice lines (yep, they got the one about sand), and his outfits, including a standard Jedi Knight look and his robed appearance fromRevenge of the Sith.
Along with the 501st Battalion, Anakin Skywalker will go live on Feb. 27 for 35,000 credits.
As DICE notes, “The 501st Battalion clone legion armours will individually be available for 20,000 credits/500 Crystals (Phase II) or 5,000 credits/100 Crystals (Phase I). They can also be purchased in a Phase II bundle for 60,000 credits or 1,500 crystals.” Hope you’ve been saving.
