Lore
Anakin was a renowned pilot and compulsive tinkerer. He would frequently modify his personal starfighter and was even warned at times about his possessive attitude toward the craft, but it is rarely disputed that he is the most talented pilot of his time.
Anakin switched to the Eta-2 interceptor shortly after it was introduced to replace the old Delta-7B Jedi Starfighters. Presumably the increased speed and maneuverability suited his edge of the seat flying style. As with his old Delta-7B his Eta-2 was yellow and grey in colour, and was copiloted by his Astromech droid R2-D2.
Farming Locations
Fleet Battles 1-B (Hard)
Frontline or Reinforcement?
Under the Negotiator Eta-2 is best on the frontline, since he gains Undying Loyalty at the start of the match, which adds significantly to his survivability and allows him to put out significant damage from the start of the match.
In any other fleet Eta-2 works best as a reinforcement, since the AI targets him as much as possible and will burst him down if given the chance.
Strengths
High damage output, makes Galactic Republic allies stronger, gains turn meter when allies lose protection or die, can inflict buff immunity and heal immunity, has an AoE attack.
Weaknesses
Low health and protection, has less synergy when not used with Negotiator or Endurance and Galactic Republic allies.
Playstyle
Under Negotiator, put Eta-2 on the frontline and use him to put Buff Immunity on any enemy tanks. Try to keep him hidden behind your own taunting tanks and use his huge damage output to go to town on the enemy.
Utilize Anakin’s Valor distribution under Endurance to make your Capital Ship take turns faster. Put him behind a taunting tank that can regenerate so that he gains full turn meter frequently. Use with Jedi and Clone allies to gain a big offense boost from Valor.
Recommended Reinforcement Ability Level
Under Negotiator, Lv1. Eta-2 should never be a reinforcement under Negotiator.
Under Endurance, Lv3. Exposing enemies is more useful than accuracy up, and while offense up is more powerful long term, the expose can synergise with Executrix and be utilised by many other ships, not just Galactic Republic.
Recommended Omega Upgrade Order
1) Surge All Power (Crew)
2) Impending Assault (Special)
3) Locked On (Basic)
Surge All Power gives the biggest bonuses, doubling Anakin’s turn meter gain and increasing allied Jedi and Clone Damage. Impending Assault is usually the opening move, and due to Eta-2’s frequent turn meter gain it is used often. Ideally however all 3 abilities should be fully upgraded.
Recommended Gear/Relic Level
Relic 4+
