In the grand scheme of Star Wars Battlefront 2 combat, think of the Heavy as the tank. Combat Shield can be used in tandem with the Heavy's second ability, Sentry, where the Heavy can pull out a large repeating blaster that lays waste at medium-range.

The Heavy's skill-set is straight forward, designed to empower the player to either hold a position or lay down cover fire for more mobile teammates.
