With so many characters to choose from, it is going to be hard to separate the good from the bad in Star Wars: Hunters, but fortunately we\u2019ve had plenty of time with the game to guide you.<\/p>\n

Star Wars: Hunters is finally upon us, as the competitive arena shooter has now launched on iOS, Android and Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n

It pits teams of players against each other, with various characters inspired by fan favourite Star Wars personas being available to choose from.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t expect Luke Skywalker or Darth Maul in Hunters, but instead there are plenty of original names to play as, including a towering Wookiee called Grozz and a tech whizz named Sprocket.<\/p>\n

So, where do you begin when selecting your character of choice in Star Wars: Hunters? Read on for our guide on the best of the best.<\/p>\n

How many Star Wars: Hunters characters are in the game at launch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are 12 different characters<\/strong> to choose from in Star Wars: Hunters at launch.<\/p>\n

They are all originally designed but some are reminiscent of fan favourites already featured in the franchise, such as Zaina, who is a Rebel war hero not unlike Han Solo.<\/p>\n

Players will also have three character classes to choose from, including Tank<\/strong>, Support<\/strong> and Damage<\/strong>, which all have different perks and abilities.<\/p>\n

A Mandalorian called Aran Tal is also coming to the game eventually, once an Arena Pass has been released, but at launch he is unavailable. We\u2019ll update you once more information has been published.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s the best Star Wars: Hunters character?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our Gaming Editor, Rob Leane, went along to a Star Wars: Hunters event recently, and here are his thoughts on the best characters in the game.<\/p>\n

From my time playing all the different modes across multiple matches at the preview event, regularly switching between characters while the other players also mixed it up, I would argue that Sentinel<\/strong> is the most consistently reliable character.<\/p>\n

His shield ability comes in handy at any time you need to defend or protect anything, while his Ultimate move (which calls in temporary support from multiple other stormtroopers) is arguably unbeatable.<\/p>\n

That being said, the character Slingshot<\/strong> was quite overpowered in the Rocket League-like Hutt Ball mode, as its round shape comes in useful when trying to traverse the pitch.<\/p>

Star Wars: Hunters tier list<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This will change over time (Rob Leane writes), but based on my time in the preview event, I\u2019d say this tier list is fair:<\/p>\n
