Summary
Zynga, the studio behind popular mobile games likeWords With Friends 2andToon Blast, is going in a completely new direction with the upcoming release of free-to-play shooterStar Wars: Hunters. In the game, players will battle in teams in a variety of game modes across a number of familiar environments from theStar Warsuniverse.
In preparation for its Jul 15, 2025, release, players are able to sample what is to come by taking a look at the roster, which features over 12 characters across three distinct classes. For those wanting to knowall the characters inStar Wars: Hunters, this list has you covered.
1Diago
A Pinpoint-Accurate Threat From Distance
Despite his appearance, which indicates that he does not have use of his eyes, Diago is one of the best sharpshooters in the galaxy. As a Miraluka, he was born without sight, but he still manages to find the target every time, with many speculating whether it isdue to Force powersor some other special ability.
Diago is a Damage-class character who makes use of his Slugthrower Rifle as a primary weapon. His gun has a slow fire-rate, but does high damage, so expect to make use of this character in long-range situations, as players will not likely have as much success in close-quarter encounters.
2Charr
A Close-Quarters Expert
Trandoshans are renowned forbeing excellent hunters, and the reptilian humanoid Charr is no exception to this. As a member of the Tank class inStar Wars: Hunters, players can expect to make use of Charr’s expertise in hunting, tracking, and trapping opponents to pick up all-important kills on the battlefield.
Charr excels at close-range encounters, which is evident in his weapon and abilities. Using his Scatter Gun, he will blast opponents who get too close, and can use abilities like Laser Tether to ensure targets don’t fall outside the range of his arsenal.
3Sprocket
Brains Over Brawn
While he may not appear intimidating in any sense of the word, Sprocket is a quick thinker, relying heavily on his intelligence for a tactical advantage in the arena. This does not only apply to his own survival in battle, butas a Support character, his various gadgets will protect and heal allies, giving his team an edge in close fights.
While Sprocket sits comfortably on his floating chair, his Blaster Remotes will be doing all the dirty work for him in combat. He complements these with turrets and drones, which can provide additional firepower, some well-needed health regeneration, or a crucial damage reduction for himself and any nearby teammates.
4Sentinel
A Nod To Star Wars' Stormtroopers
Sporting the iconic helmet and armor of his army, Sentinel is a brash and arrogant surviving member ofStar Wars’Stormtrooper legion, and takes great pride in both his identity and the Empire. With his E-Web Heavy Repeater, this Tank class character will take out foes with the sheer volume of firepower in his arsenal.
Sentinel is the ideal character choice for players who like to play with tank builds that use heavy weaponry. Many of his abilities enable an aggressive playstyle, including one that summons two other Stormtroopers to reign down a barrage of fire on unsuspecting targets.
5Skora
A Resourceful Ally and Fearsome Adversary
Fancying herself as somewhat of a space chemist, Skora uses her scientific mind to craft concoctions that will help allies and greatly hinder enemies. With her Dart Gun in hand, she can distribute her elixirs and poisons to their intended targets to swing the momentum of a battle in her favor.
Skora is a character that will be popular for players who prefer agility to power, as one of her abilities temporarily increases her movement speed. This combines well with her passive ability, which may be the most valuable in the game, allowing Skora to automatically heal herself when not engaged in combat.
6Grozz
Pure Strength and Brute Force
Much like the beloved Chewbacca from the movie franchise, Grozz is anotherWookie from theStar Warsuniverse that is not to be meddled with. This juggernaut towers over all other characters inStar Wars: Hunters, even the fellow Tanks on the roster.
Unlike most other playable characters in the game, Grozz relies on his brute strength in melee combat by using his Improvised Clubs to batter his opponents within arms reach. Most of his abilities enable him to close the gap on rivals that are at a distance, but players will primarily want to keep as close as possible if they are to have success with this character.
7Imara Vex
An Agile and Deadly Bounty Hunter
Similarly to iconicStar Warscharacters like Boba Fett, Imara Vex is a ruthless bounty hunter who has nothing in mind except eliminating the next target. She manages to do this with the use of her Blaster Rifle, making her an excellent choice for players looking for a Damage-class character.
Imara Vex’s arsenal is a bounty hunter’s dream, with homing missiles and a grapple gun to help her avoid danger and inflict as much damage as needed to get the job done. To give her an even greater advantage, Vex also has a passive ability that enables her to easily locate enemies that are low on health and vulnerable to being picked-off.
8Zaina
A Proud Rebel Veteran
The third member of the Support class cast ofStar Wars: Hunters, Zaina is a long-timeveteran of the Rebel Alliance. Given this affiliation, Zaina is a natural enemy of Sentinel, and tries to take him down, along with any others in her way, by using her Blaster Pistol and by supporting her allies through buffs and healing.
Zaina is an evasive character who has a number of abilities that will help keep her team alive. Alongside her dodge ability, which gets her out of harm’s way, she also has a healing grenade, known as a Bacta Bomb, and a Rallying Cry, both of which will give teammates a welcome boost to their health.
9Rieve
An Assassin From The Dark Side
Fans of the manygreat Sith characters inStar Warswill be eager to sink their teeth into the Dark Side assassin that is Rieve. This Force user wields an iconic Lightsaber as her primary weapon, with its menacing red glow to indicate her affiliation with the more sinister side of the Force.
Naturally, given Rieve uses a Lightsaber as her weapon of choice, this Damage-class character will primarily showcase her skills from a short range. However, her abilities, which include being able to throw the Lightsaber and deflect blaster bolts to their senders, offer some versatility you would expect to see out of someone of her skillset.
10J-3DI
A Droid With Jedi Wisdom
The pride and joy of Sprocket, J-3DI was hand-built by his fellow roster member to simulate all that isgood about the Jedi Order. With his blue Lightsaber in hand, J-3DI essentially stands for everything that Rieve isn’t, as well as everything she wants to rid the galaxy of.
While he is not a Force wielder, J-3DI has been designed to perform simulated Force abilities to mimic those of a real Jedi. Despite his limitations, the droid has an entire bank of Jedi wisdom uploaded to give him an edge in battle, as well as being able to use his mechanical body to his advantage, evident in his Whirlwind ability.
