Emperor Palpatine Revealed for Star Wars Battlefront II, Powers and Abilities Detailed
As the release date for Star Wars Battlefront II looms closer, expectant fans are getting more [...]
Powers and Abilities
Emperor Palpatine is a dangerous enemy to go up against, especially at close range. His area effect attacks can take out entire groups of enemies in one go, but it wouldn't be true to character if he didn't have his iconic Force lightning. Harnessing energy from his hands, the outwards push is his most basic attack while also proving to be a solid foundation for more potent special abilities.
He can also summon a dark auro of Force energy to encapsulate him in battle, making contact damage a very real possibility for any foe that comes near him. The auro itself not only deals damage by proximity, but it also slows down opponents as well.
The final most notable ability revealed for Palpatine is that he can effectively control and lock down entire groups of enemies with a powerful electrocution technique. This immobilizes the enemy and makes them incredibly susceptible to taking on mass amounts of damage.
