Not that I am claiming to be a master of lightsaber wielding, I
figure
I needed to atleast start the thread.
When battling the Dark Jedi, movement is the key. When I
lose a
battle, it's usually because they got me with force
powers than
because they sliced me up.
When I am fighting, I stay a bit away from my opponent, usually
30 ft.
Then hopping up and down, I move towards them. Just
I am getting to
them, I attack with the secondary swing. I
usually get a piece of my
opponent on the second swing.
Then I hop off into the distance.
Never stop hopping.
The hardest opponent to beat was Boc and that's
because he
never sat still. I fought him for about 15 minutes before
I finally got him. Movement will win the day.
Standing in front of
an opponent and swapping swipes won't
work very well, mostly because
they'll fry you with Force
powers.
If you do find yourself standing in front of a
Jedi, wait until he
swings. As soon as the swing is block,
attack and jump up. You can
get a hit and then dodge his
next attack. Then bounce away.
One thing that may be difficult to get use to but will help you
in the
long run is that you don't need to be toe-to-toe with an
adversary.
In fact. give yourself about 3 ft of space before
making an attack.
If you have chased a disarmed StormTrooper
around for 5 minutes,
you'll know what I am talking about.
BTW, the best way to kill a laser turrent. Stand in front
of it with
lightsaber drawn. Then when it starts fire,
continue to stand there.
And then keep standing there until it
is dead.
Once you start earning force stars, put a one or two with jump
and
maybe one or two with speed. But save up four stars.
As soon as the
force Pull becomes available, get four
stars worth. A lightsaber and
Pull are the best weapons
available. I went through level 10, I think
it was, the
one right before Gorc and Pic, and I had to only kill 5
people.
And one of those was actually crushed by a lift. I was
trying to earn some Light points for not killing anyone.
But I didn't
seem to get any more points than if I had
wiped out all the bad guys.
PS. What is the point of Max (or is it Sam). Why does
he have a gun.
Why doesn't he fire back. Why can't you
kill him. Just curious
