Star Wars Battlefront II: Count Dooku’s Abilities Revealed

Count Dooku is set to come to Star Wars Battlefront II tomorrow, and though we haven't gotten a trailer yet, we have an official update on his moves list plus a bunch of other extras.

According to the official update, Dooku will come with three moves:

Lightning Stun- Dooku unleashes a very quick lightning stun that throws all nearby opponents to the ground. The damage is reduced for each extra target, up to a maximum of 5 targets.

Expose Weakness -This ability targets a single opponent and causes them to become affected by a number of detrimental effects. Anyone targeted by Expose Weakness will have their movement slowed down, will receive increased damage from all attacks, and they will become highlighted for Dooku throughout the duration of the ability. Should the target be defeated by one of Dooku's attacks while Expose Weakness is active, the cooldown is instantly refreshed.

Duelist- This ability begins by Dooku raising his lightsaber up to his face and then down to his side, readying himself for combat. Once activated, Duelist will improve his lightsaber attack speed and damage for a short time. While active, Dooku will change his attack sequence, now dueling with one hand behind his back.

There's also a lot of emphasis on Dooku being a master dueler since his dodges have a shorter cooldown compared to the other lightsaber wielders.

It may come as bad news for some fans, but it looks like Dooku's other skin (Dark Ritual) will be available in February. It also looks like we won't be getting those Coruscant guard skins for the clones tomorrow as well.

If it makes up for anything, Geonosis is arriving in other game modes including Heroes v Villains, Blast, and Custom Arcade.

A lot of people were also expecting at least a screenshot of Dooku or at least a community update video, but it looks like that's still in the works. If we're lucky, maybe EA will drop it sometime later today. For now, we'll just have to wait.
