In the last part of our series on Star Wars: Force Arena we’re going to look at some hints and tips for the meat of the game - the battles.
If you’ve not checked out the other parts of our guide, well now is as good a time as any to do it. But if you’re only interested in getting some help winning fights, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
So with a little bit more ado, here’s how to make sure you’re always kicking ass and taking names in this excellent Star Wars-themed MOBA. Don’t all thank us at once, y’hear?
Wait
It’s tempting to splurge out a unit and charge out onto the field of battle. You might make a bit of progress, but it’s much smarter to take a few seconds to let your energy reserves build up.
That means you’re going to have more units when you stride out, making you a much more formidable challenge.
Sit and split
If you’ve got units that are in groups of more than two, there’s a sneaky way to use them to attack both sides of the map. Stand where your hero spawns and call out the units.
Half will go up one track, half will go up the other track. It’s a good way to keep your enemy guessing about where to send their own forces.
Think about your hero
Your hero is the most mobile of the units at your disposal, which means they’re going to have the most to do on the battlefield.
To begin with it’s a good idea to keep them in your half of the battlefield, making the most of the cover that the turrets give and utilising the health boosts behind them.
When you see a gap in the enemy forces though, it’s worth sprinting forwards to attack. Learn which units compliment your hero as well. Melee heroes need support from ranged units, and ranged heroes need support from melee units.
Charge in
Sometimes towards the end of a battle it’s worth throwing caution to the wind and diving in with your hero. They can take out a tower quickly if they’re supported, and then can change the thrust of the battle.
If you’re planning on doing that make sure the health boost near the tower is still available and you should be able to take down one tower and do some damage to another as well.
