Heavy
Overview
The Heavy is one of the eight standard classes (called Specializations in game) available to any operator in Star Wars Zero Company. EA describes it as:
The Heavy is a frontline combatant, heavily armored and tough as nails. These Operators specialize in survivability and soaking up enemy attacks while out in the open.
Abilities
| Ability | Slot | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Bulwark | Ultimate | Taunts all enemies in the target area, forcing them to attack this Operator; also increases Defense by +2 for the rest of this turn |
| Unstoppable | Standard | Gain 2 Stacks of Retaliation; each stack permits a counter against the next incoming attack |
| Conditioning | Passive | Increases this Operator's Max Health by +4 |
| Heavy Armor Training | Passive | Increases this Operator's Defense by +2 |
Bulwark
The Ultimate Taunts all enemies in the target area, forcing them to attack this operator, and increases Defense by +2 for the rest of the turn.
Unstoppable
Grants 2 stacks of Retaliation. Each stack permits a counter against the next incoming attack.
Conditioning
Increases this operator’s Max Health by +4.
Heavy Armor Training
Increases this operator’s Defense by +2.
Confirmed interactions
- Conditioning and Heavy Armor Training are both unconditional, so a Heavy with Bulwark active carries +4 Defense in total for that turn
- The Scoundrel’s Scoundrel’s Instinct passive ignores up to 4 points of Defense
- Taunt also appears as a Universal Talent, available to any operator regardless of class
