Super Battle Droid

**Super Battle Droids** are *Villain* ultra-heavy gunners. They correspond very roughly to *Hero* Wookiees.

## Overview

The SBD is a very powerful class when played right but have inherent weaknesses, the player loses the ability to jump or move while crouching while playing as the SBD and has to manage the Battery resource. The Battery effects everything the SBD can do, from firepower to damage reduction provided by its special armours. You need to make sure you walk to keep this as high as possible and not get trapped out in the open while playing the slow moving SBD. But for all of the above weakness the SBD is a very tanky class that can shoot almost as Fast as the clone and be built to counter different enemies, from Explosives, to Guns, to Jedi. An important button for the SBD is Low Power Mode (toggled using Special 1) while in Low Power Mode you cannot shoot but regenerate Battery very quickly.

The SBD requires its internal battery to be fully charged to operate at peak efficiency. Damage taken is reduced, firing rate is increased and knockdowns can be resisted when the battery power is high. Battery power is drained by firing and running.

* In normal mode (TOGGLE): Zoom view. (Requires Advanced Targeting)
* In low power mode (HOLD): Ammo to battery. Allows you to transfer power from your arm blaster clip to your battery.

* Super Battle Droids move significantly slower than other MB2 classes.
* SBD can't jump.
