Force Grip is a powerful force power used by Sith and other Dark beings. A favourite power of Darth Vader. Grip is used to choke enemies. At higher levels it can be used to lift enemies from the ground and move them around at your will.
In order to use grip, you must target an enemy and hold the grip button for a certain period of time. During this time a small red 'gripping' hand will appear on your target. Being shot while attempting to grip delays your progress.
If you are gripped as a saberist, your lightsaber will be shut off, leading to an easy kill. Grip can be countered with Force Push, Force Pull, or Force Mind Trick.

Grip Daze[]
To secure a kill on an opponent with grip, the player has to grip the enemy for ~3 seconds. After that the opponent becomes dazed. Until they are dazed, letting the opponent go will allow them to instantly regain control and shoot or turn on their saber. Also, in this period saberists can use force powers to attempt to break the player's grip. The dazed opponent cannot take any offensive action for a short period after being let go, but they can move around. This allows a successful grip user to strike down saberists while they are defenseless.
Tips[]
- Gripping can make gunners run, making them easy push or pull targets.
- Grip 1 is best used to scare the opponent, as it is only good at stunning opponents for easy 1v2s.
- Grip 3 can be used to throw around opponents with good camera movement, and this tactic can even be used to deal fall damage!
- Spinning around a saberist with grip 3 is a very effective tactic against pull and somewhat effective against push.
- Grip deals damage directly to HP, ignoring armor.
- Grip does no direct damage to saberists with force block active.
