Leia Organa Solo: Non-Force

Playing Leia in non force is very similar to playing Leia in force. Most servers these days do not allow gunners in non force anyway, but some do, and some allow gunners in duels. Most of the tips for Leia can be found in the force guide, so this is just a short reminder guide.

You'll want to be well practiced in sprint jumps. Using her sprint jumps to reach more places makes it easier for you to survive. Sprint jump also helps when an enemy is dashing you. There are many cases where you can sprint at someone and jump just before they reach you with their dash. You may take some damage but sometimes the game pushes you a ways further than a normal sprint jump due to them hitting you. This is a good escape tool.

Remember to use a rhythm with her blaster shots, if you fire off too many at once it will overheat quicker than if you pace yourself. Don't forget that lag is a big factor while sniping. Sometimes it will look like you are hitting them because they will slightly move, but no damage is done. Generally when I see this I move my shot up and to the right slightly and then it does damage.

If you are on a non force server that allows gunners and allows gunners right clicks, then be sure to use your regen to survive longer. If it's an FFA server it's almost pointless to use it, because you have to get next to a Hero to do so, and since they are your enemy they'll likely attack.

Use evasion tactics that I've mentioned for all gunners (e.g. change directions often).

If you're dueling with Leia be sure to not mess up. You have to be nearly perfect when dueling with a gunner. It is all open ground so if you roll-shoot-roll-shoot, it becomes very predictable and makes it easy for you to die.

Personally I don't like gunners in No Force, but if you like dying then go for it :)
