After years of covering Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, the Star Wars gaming universe finally has solid, new content in the form of Star Wars Hunters. Today I profile the female Dark Side Assassin Rieve, one of these new, unique characters introduced to us in Star Wars Hunters.
Rieve is described as a “menacing assassin adorned in gear that inspires the fear and malice of a Sith Lord.” She is sarcastic and is the natural rival to J-3DI in Star Wars Hunters, and her red lightsaber is a high damage melee weapon. Her talent is a Vicious Leap that allows her to leap forward toward and enemy to attack, and her Crushing Will ultimate uses the power of the Force to stun enemies around her and pull them toward her for attacks. She has an effective Lightsaber Throw, can deflect blaster bolts and block melee attacks with Wild Defense, and her Ruthless Pursuit dashes forward to strike an opponent.
Rieve is considered a difficult character to use in Star Wars Hunters and when I have faced a well-practiced enemy Rieve, it has not gone well. The use of he abilities to complement one another is key as she can be quite a menace to face in any game mode.
