Character Abilities

• Abilities – All Characters
  • Ship Acceleration/Boost – Hold [Spacebar] while Piloting a ship to speed up and get around more quickly. You can also boost to go even faster by quickly tapping [Spacebar] twice, then holding it!
  • Ship Combat – When piloting a ship, press the Left Mouse Button (LMB) to shoot its primary weapon.
    You can also hold the Right Mouse Button (RMB) to slow down slightly, for more precise aiming before shooting.
    If you have a Proton Torpedo dropped by certain enemies, press Q to launch it directly ahead. Target an enemy until the cursor fills up before pressing Q for a more accurate homing attack!
  • Ship Manoeuvres – Ships can pull off evasive manoeuvres that not only look cool but also allow you to dodge attacks or snake an enemy that’s locked onto your tail!
    • Roll Left: Left Ctrl
    • Roll Right: Right Ctrl
    • Loop-de-loop: Left Ctrl + Right Ctrl
    • Quick Turn: Hold (W), then press Left Ctrl + Left Alt together
      Use (S) for Quick Turn if the vertical flight has been inverted in the options menu.
  • Countering Attacks – Press (F) when (!) appears during combat to counter your enemy’s attack. Use this to turn the tables and cause massive damage to your opponent!
  • Blocking Enemies – If you repeat the same attack move too often, enemies may learn your technique and block you. When “BLOCKED!” appears above an enemy’s head, use a different attack move to throw them off and break through their block! A good tip is to mix up your combos with (Q), (Space Bar), and (E) to always keep the enemy guessing!
  • Climb Bars – Look out for orange Climb Bars on the walls as you explore. Any character with suitable appendages can grab onto these to shimmy or climb to new areas! 
  • Plugs and Sockets – Sockets require the correct Plug Item to activate them. When you find one, try using the map to locate its partner!
  • Class Acceptance – While exploring the galaxy, combat can occasionally be avoided by carefully choosing your class. Characters in the opposing Hero and Villain classes will attack each other on sight but will be friendly to characters in their own class. Characters in the AAstromech Droid and Protocol Droid classes are considered neutral, so won’t be attacked unless they start trouble!
• Abilities – Astromech Droid

When you’re done, press (Spacebar) to lock the rings into place and complete the sequence!
  • Droid Stealth – If you prefer to take the stealthy approach, consider using an  Astromech Droid or Protocol Droid character!

Be warned, though – even a droid can get in someone’s bad books if they start a fight!
