Arguably Leia’s most powerful move is her Trooper Bane ability. For a limited amount of time, her E-11 blaster is powered up to instantly kill any infantry she hits. Granted, her regular E-11 without Trooper Bane will still do an insane amount of damage. With Trooper Bane, her blaster fire comes in a little slower, but can easily wreck an entire platoon of infantry, or put the hurt on enemy heroes.
If you’re accurate with your blaster, Trooper Bane can be used almost as a sniper rifle. By far the best scenario for Princess Leia to be in (or any infantry, for that matter) is to have the high ground on her opponents. This way, it’s incredibly easy for the princess to unleash devastating blaster bolts to hapless foes.

A problem that she shares with Darth Vader is that she lacks any real escape abilities. Her Enhanced Squad Shield can help with a full retreat, but its cool down is long. This is where Emperor Palpatine has the advantage over Leia. The Emperor can easily close the gap between enemies with his Force Dash ability, Leia lacks a speedy getaway.
Remember, the best plan of attack with Leia is to stay back, supply your team, and use Trooper Bane as often as possible. With limited defensive capabilities, Leia is a hero best used in conjunction with her teammates. Do not underestimate her abilities because she lacks a jetpack or Lightsaber.
