Chewbacca

Chewbacca is a playable Rebel and Light Side Hero character in DICE's Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront II.

Star Wars Battlefront

Hero

Overview

Chewbacca made his debut in Star Wars Battlefront in the Death Star expansion pack as a Rebel Alliance hero. He is extremely effective in close-quarters, as his Bowcaster bolts have large splash damage. His hero trait, Furious Firing, increases the amount of bolts he can fire from his Bowcaster at any one time.

Abilities

Chewbacca's trait entails more Bowcaster bolts accumulating with each kill.

• Multi-Bolts: Chewbacca's Bowcaster enables the ability to double his amount of bolts he was shooting for a limited time. For example, if Chewbacca at a given time has 4 Bowcaster bolts when this ability is activated, it will double, giving it 8 bolts. Chewbacca's Bowcaster will initially fire 1 bolt, so the ability will make it fire 2.
• Mighty Roar: Upon activation, Chewie leaves a loud roar that gives players around his radius an increased armor rating, suppressing enemy fire.
• Ground Slam: Releases a ground slam which causes enemy players to die within his radius upon impact. Note that Chewbacca will briefly become immobile, and susceptible to enemy fire.
