This is unique since one can use one and they have a recharge time similar to Star Cards, if a vehicle is present it should always be used on that vehicle/turret with Homing shot being used on enemy infantry unless grouped together or for a quick and easy kill. Smart Rockets should be used on groups of infantry, enemy heroes or Vehicles such as AT-STs. And instead play as an individual, when in reality, they are supposed to act as a body guard for Leia. It is noted that the Honor Guard is not equipped with a Jump Pack, possibly an attempt by DICE to discourage the player from running off from Leia.

The only way the Hero (Leia.) may dispatch vehicles and turrets quickly and efficiently, is by having a body guard use his Smart Rocket. The player gets a bonus for killing enemies while staying close to Leia. It's also best to stay close to the player controlling Leia, as the bubble shield still protects them. One should be careful in running around so one doesn't die. However, they can heal 10% of their health from a Bacta Bomb. They have superior health compared to a normal player, but cannot regenerate their health. They used to carry A280C Blaster Rifles until that was changed in the update accompanying the season pass release of the Bespin DLC. The Honor Guards are armed with DH-17 Blaster Pistols, Smart Rockets and Homing Shot.

They can be spawned at the re-spawn menu if a position is available (there can only be two at a time). The Alderaan Honor Guard are playable Hero Bodyguards that can only spawn if Princess Leia is present on the battlefield. The Rebel Honor Guards, also called simply Honor Guards are the playable hero bodyguards of the Rebel Alliance in Star Wars Battlefront. They originally were more powerful than the Shock Troopers before an update made them equal.
