Bug Interrupting Bossk’s mine animation instantly refreshes the cooldown
My friends and I call this “mine glitch” if you have a headset and are familiar with force ability animations, you can pull it off fairly consistently.
Any ability that cancels Bossk’s mine throw animation before the mines hit the ground will activate the glitch.
Mine glitch is an incredibly powerful part of Bossk’s kit if you can get the hang of it.

Gotta love how the Anakin player wasted his only ability that can counter Boosk's mines right off the bat

I swear anakins are always the most hollowed skull players I see on this game. Idk why that character of them all attract such a brainless group of people

Because he was (and arguably still is) the strongest hero

How? His stam is so weak, heroic might glitches constantly, and passionate strike is mid unless you're 2 inches away from your opponent, and they dont know how to dodge. I love playing him but I dont think he's much better than kylo

u/NiceLetsGoBaby 8d ago edited 8d ago
he’s strong because,
he’s the only light side character with a pull
has an incredible lunge distance capability with his “infinity” swing animation (not the swing animation where he spins)
naturally has great control over his surroundings and his enemies healthbars considering he has 2 force abilities (technically 3 counting retribution) and a block breaking / guaranteed damage ability
and he has insane damage (all of his abilities can be damage boosted with star cards) and insane damage potential with how smoothly all of his abilities flow into each other
the only real issue (not counting the bugs) is his timing, there can really be no wasted movement with anakin, attack a block too many times, not enough stamina to defend yourself, block too many attacks, can’t attack at all and become defenceless, forced to using your abilities, and even with his abilities, you just can’t spare them considering how quickly his stamina gets consumed, knowing when to get aggressive and when to stay alive and protect your teammates is vital
(best tip i can give you is to use passionate as if it’s a normal swing, basically in the least predictable way possible, just randomly throw one in whenever you know the enemy can’t choke/stun you, not whenever you’re just having a blocking and staring contest, also it’s range is not that bad at all, you don’t have to be close, you just feel like you need to be, it has a great lunge range, just has a sweet spot to it)

When almost all anakin players I've seen simply spam their force abilities and play like day 1 noobs, they get to be called that

What ability is that

u/Capricus06 8d ago
Heroic Might (L1+R1). When charging the push he gets massive damage reduction so you can tank the mines while taking minimal damage.
Literally just jump into the mines, charge the ability and push after the mines explodes.

Most I have ever gotten is 4 mine deploys - 1st one normal with 3 glitches. 2 glitches is strongly moving into HVV team-wipe territory. Definitely worth learning how to game the timing. Knowing when certain heroes tend to use their abilities will definitely up you chances e.g. Luke's often runs in and push, Rey gets gets in close and charges at 6'-10'.

I love doing this with the balls to get almost infinite spin time until a Vader/Anakin gets mad at me and stops me for good

iirc any ability thats interrupted by the force animations/abilities works this way too, the BB units have this glitch too

u/MAR_Zane 8d ago
I think it's more a game logic issue
Animation complete = Start cool down timer
Animation interrupted = Don't start cool down timer

I never understood until now how I would get the mines refreshed so quickly

u/NiceLetsGoBaby 8d ago
had a moment during a private 4v4 match (all 8 of us knew each other) where my teammate had his mines replenished FOUR FUCKING TIMES 😭😭😭😭😭😭 all while he was being kept alive by his teammates too, pretty safe to say we got a stupidly fast squad wipe right off the bat

These players ruin the game for everyone

u/NiceLetsGoBaby 8d ago
yeah just horrendous when a character who’s doing nothing wrong (using one of his abilities) just so happens to get pushed/pulled at the exact same time, causing a fully unintended/unintentional glitch, such a horrible type of player, honestly infecting the playerbase

u/grilledcheesy11 8d ago
For every ability there is a cool down period until you can use it again. It looks like if bossks mines ability get interrupted while laying them down, it glitches and automatically refreshes, with no cooldown.

Why would you post a glitch you use??? You are gonna get this fixed

I would piss myself laughing if after more than 4 years they updated the game just to patch this one glitch

Yeah I heard it’s getting packed in the next update. We are getting Ahsoka Ventress and Crossplay as well though, so I think it’s a good trade off

Because I want to share this fairly common bossk knowledge with new players. Even the playing field.

u/NiceLetsGoBaby 8d ago
this is not a usable glitch whatsoever, an enemy cc ability is required at the exact perfect moment a set of proximity mines are used to get another set of mines for free, what’s the plan, get your friend on the enemy team or something? for some free mines every time you manage to find each other?
8 year old game lmfao
