Ion Weapons vs Separatist Droids
EA recommends Ion weapons as a direct answer to Separatist droid forces.
Setup
Use this as a faction-preparation clue, not as a complete damage chart before launch.
Read the battlefield state first: objective, remaining actions, target order, line of sight and the next Operator's options all affect whether the tactic creates value.
Execution check
- Identify the specific problem this tactic solves.
- Confirm that the required unit, item or position is available.
- Sequence the enabling action before the payoff.
- Leave a safe end position or objective path.
Confirmed example, not a universal best build
EA presented this as an example of the game's tactical flexibility. The page therefore explains the interaction without inventing damage, range, cooldown or drop-rate values. A tactic can be valid while still depending on map geometry, enemy faction and mission objective.
What launch testing will measure
After release, testing will add exact action costs, valid targets, line-of-sight rules, failure conditions and representative screenshots. Any ranking will be based on repeatable results rather than trailer impressions.
Source and evidence boundary
The direct answer on this page is grounded in a first-party publication. It does not convert unreleased values, inferred story beats or marketing footage into confirmed gameplay data. Any development-stage value will be checked again against the launch build.
