Holotactics in Star Wars Jedi Survivor provides players with a tactical tabletop minigame located on the second floor of Pyloon's Saloon on Koboh. Players deploy virtual representations of scanned enemy units to battle against various opponents across multiple challenging waves. Mastering this strategic game requires a strong grasp of enemy aggro mechanics, unit synergies, and battle point management.
Unlocking the Holotactics Table and Opponents
To gain access to Holotactics, players must first complete the rumor side quest called The Odd Pair in Boiling Bluff. After rescuing Bhima and Tulli from a hostile Mogu, the duo will relocate to Pyloon's Saloon and establish the gaming table. Additional opponents become available as players progress through the main storyline and recruit key characters across the galaxy.
Expanding your roster of playable units depends entirely on scanning defeated enemies using BD-1 during your adventures. Finding new adversaries across Koboh and Jedha unlocks powerful options that can drastically improve your odds in tougher matches.
Core Strategies for Tabletop Victory
Understanding unit targeting and aggression is essential for setting up a winning board formation. Units generally attack the closest threat at the start of a round, making frontline placement vital for protecting high-damage ranged combatants. Positioning heavy ranged attackers in the back corners keeps them safe while they deal continuous damage to incoming waves.
Managing Battle Points effectively across multiple rounds ensures you have enough resources for late-game waves. Unspent points carry over to subsequent rounds, allowing players to save up for massive units like Droidekas or AT-STs. Balancing cheap frontline distractions with high-value backline units often leads to consistent victories.
Top Tier Units and Composition Tips
Certain scanned units stand out as reliable powerhouses across almost every Holotactics match. Droidekas excel at sweeping through enemy ranks from a distance, while sturdy units like Skritons offer excellent defense against incoming blaster fire. Combining resilient frontline defenders with heavy firepower creates a balanced setup capable of handling complex enemy waves.
Unusual picks like Rawkas, often referred to as murder chickens, can disrupt enemy lines with fast, high-damage charges. However, players should remain cautious when deploying units armed with explosives, as friendly fire can quickly turn a winning battle into a defeat. Adapting your lineup to exploit specific enemy weaknesses remains the ultimate key to conquering every opponent.
