Nien Nunb Hero in Star Wars Battlefront

Nien Nunb grew up on Sullust and is a well-known smuggler in the Star Wars franchise. While he is known by fans for his unique look and Sullustan voice, he actually was a great servant to the Republic. He would assist Princess Leia on a few missions and would become a friend to Lando Calrissian in the fight against the Empire.

It is best to play this hero no different really than a sniper. Nien has an awesome Pulse Cannon which is far superior to the normal weapon, so staying far away is definitely the way to go. Not only that, but you have your turret as well that is very handy at keeping at a distance. Lastly, Nien Nunb can lay a series of Proximity Mines around the perimeter as well that simply adds the barrier that you can surround yourself with.

If you find a good spot to snipe from, lay a turret down for protection, and place mines around your area, then you have yourself a very powerful hero. Even your Electrobinoculars, or Orbital Strike, lets you kill enemies from afar.
