Star Wars Zero Company Heavy Class Guide

Heavy is a close-range standard kit. EA calls it a frontline combatant, heavily armored and tough as nails. It is the only standard class with a third passive, so five slots instead of four.

What is confirmed

  • Ultimate Bulwark is an area taunt with Defense that turn, once each turn, 4 Advantage.
  • Intimidating Posture makes primary blaster hits Taunt without spending an ability.
  • A March 2026 preview wrongly treated the Heavy ultimate as a rocket. That rocket is Soldier’s Rocket Strike.
