Whilst a fun mini-game in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, unlocking Holotactics and beating every opponent can be a challenge. So, in this Holotactics walkthrough guide, I'll take  how to unlock the game and the best teams needed to beat every opponent. 

How to unlock Holotactics

To unlock Holotactics in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, you need to acquire the "Locate the Odd Pair" Rumor side mission by talking to Moran in Pioneer's Saloon - after the Forest Array story mission in the game

Travel to the quest's marker, save Bhimi and Tulli and you'll recruit them to the Saloon, where you can find them and their Holotactics table on the second floor.

There, you can start playing to beat all Holotactics opponents and reap the rewards that come with each victory against the virtual opponents.

To beat every opponent in Holotactics in Jedi: Survivor, simply use each build laid out for every opponent below. Keep in mind, however, that the AI in Holotactics matches can be random - making some result in losses even with the right build.

If this happens, merely replay with the same build until you get a winning outcome.
