The Rolling Charge ability enables it to rush enemies and damage and push them with its head, and the Resistance Backing ability reveals enemies around BB-8, and also causes them to take slightly increased damage.īB-9E, the BB-8's First Order doppelgänger (you can tell it's bad because it's black) is a "cold, calculating" ( it's a machine) support hero. BB-8 wields a Shock Prod that does damage over time to enemies hit with it, and also has a "Cable Spin" ability, in which it extends three tow cables while rotating rapidly, doing "high damage" to all enemies within range. It's notable first and foremost for speed: The droid moves faster and captures Command Posts more quickly than most other characters. BB-8, "known for his courage" ( it's a machine), will be an offensive hero, helping to balance out the currently supported-oriented Light Side lineup.
