Classes & tier list

In-game the word is Specialization. Eight standard kits for almost anyone; four exotic kits locked by character or droid chassis. Dual spec is a campaign unlock, not a New Game plus toy.

Standard specializations

  • Assault

    Close-to-mid, grenades and cover breaks. Ultimate: Sweeping Salvo.

  • Heavy

    Open-ground tank. Extra passive Intimidating Posture. Ultimate: Bulwark.

  • Sharpshooter

    Long range, elevation. Ultimate: Precision Shot (always hits).

  • Scoundrel

    Tempo and marks. Ultimate: Easy Mark.

  • Soldier

    Mid-range generalist with rockets. Ultimate: Rocket Strike.

  • Gunslinger

    Multi-target blaster strings. Ultimate: Open Fire.

  • Scout

    Recon and timing. Ultimate: Ambush (dumps the Advantage bar).

  • Medic

    Heals, injury prevention, Morale. Ultimate: Morale Boost.

Exotic specializations

  • Jedi Padawan

    Tel-Rea only. Force Push into Overwatch, Force Pull (Forceful trophy). Lost if she dies.

  • Mandalorian Warrior

    Cly Kullervo only. Jetpack Combat Jump with Burn. Talent stays after a standard respec.

  • Astromech

    Any builder droid. Support and bombs; can fill every slot except Hawks on story maps.

  • Fourth exotic

    Confirmed, still unnamed by Bit Reactor. This page will name it when an official source does.

Launch-week tier list

Ranks reflect review builds and day-one play, not a year of patches. Dual spec will scramble this list once Spec 2 is common in public saves.

S
Medic

Still the permadeath backbone. Morale Boost is the cleanest Advantage dump on long maps.

S
Sharpshooter

Precision Shot ignores the launch-week LOS lottery. Elevation still wins maps.

S
Jedi Padawan

Tel-Rea’s Force kit creates turns nobody else can. Protect her like a unique weapon.

A
Assault

Cover denial for the sniper. Bull Rush into voids remains an instant-kill tech.

A
Scout

Ambush is feast-or-famine; information is never wasted.

A
Heavy

Bulwark holds open tiles. Hungry for Medic support.

B
Gunslinger

Open Fire shines after Stim or a Scoundrel mark. Positioning-heavy.

B
Mandalorian Warrior

Combat Jump is unique mobility. The rest of the kit is “good Cly,” not a generic S-tier.

B
Scoundrel

Easy Mark is a multiplier for someone else’s gun.

B
Soldier

Rocket Strike is honest AOE. Specialists still out-scale the generalist.

B
Astromech

Utility and bombs. Full-droid squads are a meme with a real win rate on easier sliders.

Launch-week tiers — expect movement after dual-spec theorycraft lands.
