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.

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.

-
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.
Still the permadeath backbone. Morale Boost is the cleanest Advantage dump on long maps.
Precision Shot ignores the launch-week LOS lottery. Elevation still wins maps.
Tel-Rea’s Force kit creates turns nobody else can. Protect her like a unique weapon.
Cover denial for the sniper. Bull Rush into voids remains an instant-kill tech.
Ambush is feast-or-famine; information is never wasted.
Bulwark holds open tiles. Hungry for Medic support.
Open Fire shines after Stim or a Scoundrel mark. Positioning-heavy.
Combat Jump is unique mobility. The rest of the kit is “good Cly,” not a generic S-tier.
Easy Mark is a multiplier for someone else’s gun.
Rocket Strike is honest AOE. Specialists still out-scale the generalist.
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.
