Since his cunningness wields unlimited raw dark power, the former Senator from Naboo will surely be displaying some of his impressive force-tricks. Palpatine has his area effect attack that is quite handy in close range attacks. Then he has his signature Force lightning abilities to shoot purple-blue bolts of energy blasts, which is his special offense move as well.

The chain lightning of The Emperor is one of the most fearsome moves as one of the bolts strike his opponent, it quickly effects another nearby and so on. Now, this can be used against a pack of enemies to shake the very foundation of their group and set them imbalanced. Also, Emperor Palpatine can summon a dark aura of Force energy that will surround his body and anyone that comes to the close range of it will receive damage firsthand and slowed down.

Below is a clip of Emperor Palpatine from Twitter showing how he rules the battlefield in Star Wars Battlefront II, just like he did to Galactic Empire.



Then he can electrocute groups of enemies, which can actually make them vulnerable for his allies to strike at them as it would have his foes in a choke-point, without any room to move. Well, he didn't just become the undisputed Sith Lord and the founder of the Galactic Empire for nothing, right?

Star Wars Battlefront II will see its worldwide release on November 17, 2017 to play on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Emperor Palpatine joining the battle surely adds more excitement for the fans and new gamers introduced to the franchise. Other popular characters like Boba Fett, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Rey, Yoda and more will be at the disposal of the players to take the fight to the enemies.

    Emperor Palpatine is also locked behind paywalls I guess!

      Most probably. However, most recently EA has announced that they are withdrawing all the in-game paywalls. We are yet not quite assured though.
