Unlike their predecessors, the First Order Stormtroopers are skillful soldiers, being very good at aiming and shooting for their targets, and have been trained in hand-to-hand and melee combat. Despite this, like Finn, most of them have a sense of justice, honor, good morals and principles. The First Order Stormtroopers are also very merciless in battle, killing their enemies or innocent civilians without any hesitation, guilt, or remorse. The First Order Stormtroopers are loyal and obedient, and they follow orders without question from high-ranking officials such as Captain Phasma and Armitage Hux, and Snoke's apprentice, Kylo Ren.

They are also indoctrinated and trained since birth to support the First Order's cause and beliefs, willingly serving the First Order with fervor and zeal. Stormtroopers of the First Order are much more formidable than their Imperial counterparts in the Galactic Empire, and are more skilled, more versatile, better equipped and much more accurate in shooting.
