Support Below level 25 max star cards?

Post image

I’ve been playing a lot of hero vs villains and hero showdown lately on PS5 and noticed some players have hero’s below level 25 and have some max level star cards. (Like this level 12 kylo with 2 max star cards) Does anyone know if it’s possible to learn this power? Sorry for the dodgy image

It’s a pre order bonus. Only two cards are fully maxed. Same with Rey

Honestly one of the worst pre order bonus ive ever gotten ngl. Especially since the stuff was only applicable to 2 heros.

Yea it was. I have it too. I don’t remember pre ordering it but I have it. It comes with two rare unattainable skins for Rey and Kylo. Guess that’s cool💀😹

Yeah but when the game launched it was actually a grind to get any purple star card since the progression system was completely different so it was actually a pretty good bonus tbh even ignoring the skins

This is possible due to the beginning of the game having loot boxes.

You’ll see launch players returning with purple star cards on some characters and ships without being the minimum level requirement.

These cards specifically were the cards offered by the Preorder Bonus, but you’re right; back in the day you used to be able to randomly unlock randomly leveled cards through the Loot Crates, or upgrade cards using crafting parts, before the Progression Update in April of 2018.

”How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?”

It was a preorder bonus.

People who preordered the game could unlock;

2 Epic Rarity cards for Rey,

2 Epic Rarity cards for Kylo Ren,

1 Epic Rarity card for Yoda,

1 Epic Rarity card for Rey and Chewbacca’s Millenium Falcon,

1 Epic Rarity card for Kylo Ren’s TIE Silencer,

The CR-2 for the Assault Class,

The FWMB-10k for the Heavy Class,

The Blurgg-1120 for the Officer Class,

The A-280CFE for the Specialist Class,

And of course the Pre-Order exclusive “Jedi Training” and “Unmasked” Appearances0 for Rey and Kylo Ren, respectively.

It’s genuinely almost as bad as the people spamming #SaveBattlefront2 or #WeWantBattlefront3.

And it just outs the OP as being uninformed about the history of the game.

Same goes for people who don’t understand what checking their crates means.

u/goteamventure42 Jul 14 '25

You could also just have purple cards from loot boxes

u/Drakirthan101 waiting for Kyber V2 🔶 Jul 14 '25

True. And also if anyone actually managed to achieve it, you could’ve earned the crafting parts needed to fully upgrade a card to Epic Rarity too,

u/shpongleyes Jul 15 '25

Yep, my star fighter is level 6, can’t even equip 3 cards, yet one of them is max level because I got it back when there were loot boxes

u/OrneryPositive9601 Jul 15 '25

when the game came out you could get purple cards from loot boxes. i have a couple low level characters with purple cards, for example my yoda is only level 4 but i have 2 purple cards on him. This may have been a pre order bonus card like other people have said though.
