Best Stance You Should Be Using In Star Wars Jedi Survivor (Star Wars Jedi Survivor Best Stance)

[@JorRaptor]

What is your favorite lightsaber stance in Star Wars Jedi Survivor?👀

[@siddu4563]

Crossguard

[@Hearshotkid_2113]

Personally, my preferred stances in order are Single, Crossguard, Dual, Blaster, Double-sided.

[@toadking1006]

Blaster

[@oni1608]

Crossguard

[@csm4204308]

So far duel wield is my favorite but I only have double sided,single and duel wield stances unlocked I’m sure dual will stay as my favorite

[@chaost4544]

I really like Crossguard against bosses and single opponents. It's probably the hardest style to master in this game but when you become proficient in it you can melt enemies pretty quickly. Crossguard is a high risk/high reward type stance.

[@JorRaptor]

For sure that's why I love it too!

[@thegreatpiginthesky3904]

Crossgaurd is definitely the best in the game. Just hardest to use. Also, that drop kick is awesome lol

[@mikeanthony999]

@@thegreatpiginthesky3904 I don't think any stance is the best necessarily, they are all good in their own way.

[@Ho0pxr]

I honestly thought it was one of the easier ones. The defense is so high you don't take nearly as much dmg. Allowing it to be a lot more forgiving than messing up with dbl sabers

[@thegreatpiginthesky3904]

@Michael Sartori sure but for pure damage and shield breaking its the best. That's all that matters in boss fights.

[@trunglerfevr]

Something great about dual wield is being able to cancel all your attacks with a block. It's really, really good.

[@magus13131]

Yeah, that alone makes Dual Wield the *best* stance, imo. You're able to be incredibly aggressive and NOT get punished for it, ultimately giving you the best offense AND best defense of any stance.

[@martyblackmore516]

Dual wield makes me feel like I'm starkiller 2.0

[@appetizingly]

​@@magus13131I'd say that Blaster is just as good as dual blades for its reach, versatility, the shot parry - which can be used while blocking - and the charged shot stagger. But yeah, those two are clearly the strongest stances in the game for different reasons.

[@bradypless7465]

I always main Dual Wield because of the double saber throw and because the attack speed is fast.

[@JayCR33D]

@@martyblackmore516 i use dual wield along with Starkillers fit lmao

[@IsraTheBlack]

Dual blade is the only stance that lets you block/parry cancel during your attacks whereas the other stances you are stuck in animation.

[@DannoHung]

Yep. Makes it a much more aggressive game. Just wail on guys and react instead of anticipate.

[@BenyaminLorit]

Agreed, and it's fairly good at stun locking enemies

[@HunchoxPlays]

Facts. I’ve been using them as my main for the whole game so far with the twin blade as my second

[@jacktheripper7735]

Dual wield allowed me to beat the Rancors in the Coruscant Force Fracture

[@dumsum19able]

Best stance for aggressive play. It's my favorite stance. However I'm trying to branch out since it makes the game to easy

[@ea.fitz216]

I love the blaster stance because you can clearly see a little bit of form II in how he swings the lightsaber. Works great with a duelist character.

I have no knowledge of the different forms but it reminds me of a fencing style and also on Doku

[@kathleensarkeesian8506]

@@wifiboo Makashi is the the form Dooku uses, so ur spot on there. He would despise the use of a blaster however 😂

[@natekaplowitz]

In my opinion, the dual sabers are the very best. You can cancel out of attack animations which no other stance can do, plus I usually parry all of the attacks coming my way anyways so the lowered block meter doesn’t make much of a difference.

[@DanielRamos-el2qr]

Well said.

[@tsugikuniyoriichi22]

Same , is my main form and blaster as my second one. In a game like this where parries are essential and rewarding this stance is a must use.

[@sumoathelstan]

I find dual wield pretty limited but it is the best for high pressure style combat

What do you mean "cancel out of attack animation"? Do you mean parry?

[@darkmatter9643]

@ no it means that midway into a swing you can press the block/dodge key and it will immediately do that thing instead of waiting till the end of the swing

[@AvengerAF]

That's why you pair the cross guard with the double-bladed! Perfect combination 😁

[@drippy_jetski3097]

That’s what I do works like a treat

[@magic7993]

Great saber and the pistol on are also good

[@budgesosa2897]

Same bro

[@keyblademasterclark]

I do that too

[@choppedandbobbed9729]

In the event that you are partial to novelties

[@duncanfriend3766]

I was forced to use the double bladed stance for one of the Force Challenges, and I was immediately impressed. It's way better then it was in the first game. Nice to see it put near the top of your list also.

[@jvd3339]

I'm using the Dual Sabers and Double Saber. - The parry for the Dual Sabers has saved me a ton. - The double Saber seems Very Strong to me. And the added defense is a life saver.

[@JokerThePancake]

Thats just the best combo

[@Sayitaintjay]

Me too.

[@ordenax]

Same here. Helps me fight multiple enemies in a mob and single enemies. The first giving Ranged defense and the second giving Melee defence

[@JoeFanik]

I grew to love cross guard after using it against Rayvis. The form really is best for one-on-one combat and once you get the party timing down it becomes a force of nature

[@ryanyu102]

Blaster stance is also my go to stance in jedi survivor. Both in gameplay and aesthetics. Cal's handling of blaster stance reminds me a lot of count dooku's makashi. My only gripe in the stance is it is difficult to cut things with it like seeds for Pili since it is more of a thrust than a slash stance

[@jacktheripper7735]

I realized if you place yourself right on the seed, you can click in the interact key and it grabs the seeds without having to cut them.

[@johnnyroche138]

Considering that Cal uses the same hybrid lightsaber for all stances, I don’t see why we can’t have all stances at once

[@maksuzbrojony8221]

Thankfully there's a mod for it but it should've been in the base game

[@theprodigalsun__]

I think it’s so it forces you to use stances long enough to really give them a chance and get used to them, but late game or next game yeah you should be able to at least pause to change the two and not have to go back to a workbench or meditation point

[@BenyaminLorit]

Blaster + dual and you can pretty much clear the game comfortably against all enemy types as long as you have a good sense of how the game works and spatial awareness. For beginners and players who are prone to mashing and just rushing into fights, the good old single blade + double blade combo will do. I feel like those are designed to be the most approachable and do not need a lot of strategy to work.

[@JellyJman]

Based. I’m running the same combo and it rocks on Jedi Master.

[@redviper5s150]

I’ve been running the double blade and cross guard since I acquired it. I’ll use the double blade to parry and break the guard, then switch to cross guard to sundering swipe. Been working really well for me so far. I’ve beaten several bosses with that combo

[@tylerwilson3507]

Duel wield has been my go to stance throughout the entire game.

[@kuhlbeans]

doublesided blade is slept on. you can melt the enemies with fast attacks. and the blocking all ranged attacks back on a parry is super good.

[@Flamma_Dreemurr]

Plus double blade just looks so clean and elegant. I love it

[@Hop3.]

You didn't mention the best part about dual wielding. They are the only stance that can cancel any attack at any time into a block/parry. This alone makes it probably the best stance if you've mastered it. The opposite of that is the double bladed stance. Each attack animation is really long and that leaves you open if you fight againsta quick target.

[@hammo4168]

100 percent agree with you. This stance is my go to for those quick succession attacks in boss battles

[@WiseOakDakota]

Great observations, I’ve been running double bladed and dual wield as my stances for those reasons

[@Whisdom.]

This is why I still love my single blade for tough enemies and double bladed for groups. I just couldn't let the single blade go, because of all of the movie vibes

[@WiseOakDakota]

Pretty disappointed you can’t switch freely between the 5 styles though… like just a radial menu

[@dylancooper4993]

[@maxtopliss1552]

You know they did a good job with these stances. As every video I’ve seen on this subject is different and all correct for different reasons. Perfection.

[@creaturecore13]

I played with all of the stances, but ended up using the original stances from the first game. They upgraded the double sided blade a good amount and its by far my favorite stance for multiple targets and for using gun fire to take down all the enemies. The single blade is great for bosses or 2 tough enemies. The blaster stance is my 3rd favorite.

[@danysavin812]

Love doublesided and dual wielding. Mostly because the animation of switching between the two is pretty cool. Lol

[@alanendresen7637]

Same bro lol

[@bqpceagle2005]

If anyone ever played the Jedi Knight Series Cross Guard is very reminiscent of "Strong" stance where your planning and timing needs to be much better so you are not overwhelmed. I've mastered and maxed out Cross guard first. It was either that or the OG single blade. I am a fan of doing more damage per strike so you need the strikes to count. The range and versatility is insane and a lot of fun. Getting the light saber throw at the top of the tree can make a great combo finisher as well since you can throw it instantly without charging it. Charging it would make it do more damage but without charging, it does good damage on its own and more powerful than a normal lightsaber throw.

[@Eesh_]

Aesthetically I love the blaster and dual wield saber so that’s what I use. I use the stun shot for the blaster because people say it’s the best, but I feel like charge shot or even ricochet might be better

[@izzyworld8655]

Charge shot is most Def better 🙏🏾

[@Raianmicch90]

[@117darksonic]

Ricochet is also pretty fun

[@SaariumDeta]

[@mikeb53]

Dual wield and double blade were my go to's for the entire game, the switch stance between the two really complemented both

[@wandered_rogue22]

Same… my favorite way to use them was for bosses by breaking their guard with the dual wield, get a couple hits and then immediately switch mid combo and use vortex dive… the dps is off the charts with it… (I also found that if you throw one of your sabers in dual wield, you can use the single blade skills as well… like throw the saber and then do the dash strike…. The potential is limitless)

fully 100% agree with this break down. as soon as i unlocked blaster stance... i went the whole game with the dule bladed saber and blaster stance. can be super aggressive with the blaster stance.

[@Daniel-fj3vt]

I loved the single blade stance, because it provides and overall balanced experience and also gives you windows to evade attacks the crossguard simply does not. I don’t like the latter because it’s two-handed, i would have enjoyed a Kylo Ren style a lot more but that’s just my opinion :)

Cross guard was definitely my favorite. Then blaster or don't blades after that. Plus the cross guard sound of the saber is cooler. Pretty cool that they not only have different sounds to the blade colors, but unique sound to the cross guard vents.

[@slashdef]

Currently using dual and cross guard. Was strongly considering blaster for my next playthrough, I'm sold now. Thanks.

[@janpesek4862]

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to stances, single blade and double blade are my stances of choice. They cover both single and multi-target encounters and play as expected. Maybe my next new playthrough will use other stances, but for now, I stick with good and tried onse.

[@MelancholyWindow]

I’m an og with single and crossguard. Single is reliable when dealing with weak and mid level enemies. While you have crossguard for the beefier enemies. Also single and cross guard have an amazing look on your belt.

[@CRIMSON-FLAME1]

Put the perk shatter on and the enemies don't stand a chance especially with cross guard.

[@nickpeebles7541]

Noone seems to mention anywhere that the blaster and blade work independently of each other. You can shoot while doing your lightsaber hits and it seemlessly combos in making the bonus damage to lightsaber after shooting just free damage. You can also hold block and tap the shoot key to activate pointblank and if you miss it you still block since you can block without lowering your guard. Point blank makes you lower your guard however so be wary of a second attack hitting you while you do this. Also with the duel sabers you cannot dodge cancel your attacks, but you can block cancel your attacks and after you block cancel you are free and open to dodge so in effect you can dodge cancel your attacks if you quickly tap block first.

[@Annie-hb8ob]

I'm a crossguard and double ended lighstaber gal. I love the tankiness of the crossguard. But i can switch to the double ended for groups and for speed. The best of both worlds

[@Im_Blitz]

The marksman and ambidextrous perks make the blaster stance MUCH better. I also HIGHLY recommend never repeatedly pressing square once you equip these perks. The combo that is fastest plus deals the most damage is alternating square and triangle back and forth (lightsaber and blaster). This also has the highest chance to stun lock enemies and with a fully upgraded tree plus the right perks, you'll find yourself rarely out of ammo.

[@5lim.0]

Blaster stance and duel weild are the two I’m using for my run

[@somethingclever3846]

Although I disagree with a lot of what you said I still enjoyed hearing your opinion; it was very insightful. As always great video man!

[@Jurellmusic]

I love that there's so much debate regarding which saber stance is best. There are videos arguing that each stance is better than the rest; credit to the developers for refining each stance so tightly that everyone finds their own playstyle. That being said, I would love to see a video from you @jorraptor about which saber stance combinations are best. Talking about the stances in isolation leads to different conclusions than discussing the stances as one-of-two equipped. I agree with your comments about the cross guard, however, equipped alongside the doublesaber stance I firmly believe it is the most deadly stance in the game. You almost always fight enemy groups in this game. Doublesaber allows you to clear out the weak enemies in a group - you can then switch to the crossguard and obliterate the stronger enemies in a one-on-one duel. Some may argue the blaster stance is better alongside the cross-guard but I just find that stance so... uncivilized...

[@darksting77]

I agree that the Saber/Gun Stance is my number one, really love the mobility, combination with ranged and up close attacks. So here we go , I would say 5. cross guard 4. single saber 3. double bladed 2. dual and 1. gun/saber stance. Dual is just too good with groups and the mobility is insane, thats my holy sh*t red button in boss fights lol. Currently in New Game Plus, loving this game so far.

[@davidsimmons4731]

I really enjoyed the blaster stance in conjunction with the dualblade. I used the blaster stance for its range and ability to press enemies and break thier posture, and use the dualblade when dealing with groups.

[@dissonant_beats6430]

Me too but I also used doubleblade for large single targets like Oggdo and the Rancor, and for story based duels for my immersion. feels like cal would fight another jedi with saber only. Also feels the most cannon because the story pushes you to use the blaster as it’s always in your holster whether you use it or not, and on top of that it’s well documented Cal prefers double bladed saber like his master Tapal

[@Maximo-p6k]

crossguard stance is my favorite because it's so satisfying to use.

I absolutely love the addition of the darth maul esque whirl wind attack or whatever it’s called, where he flies forward twirling the dual blade thru enemies . They did an amazing job of keeping the old technique,and adding complimentary attacks .

[@nevasoba5953]

I haven’t experimented with the blaster stance much. I used it to kill a flying Bounty hunter so far but thatsnit

[@kasper_429]

My usual go-to combo is Dual Wield and Blaster (I use this when I'm just out exploring), but for crowds I switch dual wield with double blade, and for bosses I switch blaster with cross guard.

[@Badwatermagic]

completely agree with your video. My top two stances are blaster and double bladed. Double bladed comes in clutch for any fights with a ton of range. Blaster just dominates any boss fights. I play on jedi grandmaster so its crazy important to play safer.

[@JonJukebox]

Been using the blaster & double blade stance since I unlocked it definitely the best combination

[@Cosmos_Gypsy]

The Blaster and Double Bladed stances are my favourite because between them you feel like you have a fully equipped tool set ready to take on anything

[@ttv_restile_yt545]

I personally love every single stance and cannot decide on which one to use. Currently I’m using single because I love the long dash attacks and it’s a classic. I love crossguard, but if it’s going to be so slow, they should at least make it able to block those heavy attacks, after all, the crossguard is meant for defense

[@just_a_guy_who_likes_dogs]

The thing abt crossguard is that its meant to be a weapon you suppose to parry with which is why it has great defense, people mistake crossguard for being an offensive weapon because of its damage but your actually suppose to parry your enemy to leave them open for you to attack unlike the dual saber which is purely for offence bc of how fast it is.

[@CRIMSON-FLAME1]

Exactly you get it my friend. Crossguard is it's about predicting your enemies movements and attacks and then you parry and once your successful bring their guard down with that mean uppercut or left slash.

[@Ace0Spades17]

What I do is I use the blaster as my main stance and the cross guard as a secondary stance. I use the blaster for normal enemies and for running around and dodging bosses. I use the blaster to get in close to the bosses and then switch to cross guard and use the slow to get off some big damage and when I need to switch back to blaster to get some distance. Might experiment with other stances as a secondary but the blaster stance feels the best for how I play. (Also I was able to do the 150 droid challenge with the blaster stance fairly easily)

[@PH3NOM246]

Crossguard is hands down the best for bosses and small groups. Using the wrench pull and then combined with the spin attack you can get some fun crowd control too. Def my fav in the game. And it’s just looks so damn cool

[@hedgehog3362]

I feel like the charged shot return is slept on, easiest way to take out droideka, staggers enemies and deals some high dmg. Not to mention taking out enemy block meters in 2 hits then slamming them down with an overhead swing is very satisfying.

[@izzyworld8655]

Duel blades in the blaster has been my go to stance in my first play through.. in general tho it takes time to get to grips with how cal attacks because one tap of the button will have 3 moves locked to it so spaming is not something anybody should do lol leave a lil time before pressing buttons to continue your combo's

[@crimsondemon8892]

dual wielding when there is a minigunner is music to my ears when I deflect all the blasts back to the enemies and cross guard just does so much damage and is so fun to use

[@geri0412]

It was a good video! My top 5 is: 5. Crossguard 4. Blaster 3. Single 2. Dual Wield 1. Dual bladed 😅

[@WildWolfGod]

I actually really appreciate that you put the Single Blade at number 3 because a lot of people are disappointed it's not really anything new from Fallen Order and placing it at 4 or 5. It's actually incredibky useful and like the stats, it's really balanced. It has range and enough damage to be a solid option and imo it feels faster than in Fallen Order. It's definitely a very solid option and I actually really love it.

[@assassin4life13cole4]

Cal slowly becoming a Saber Warmaster. Hopefully they expand further on his Combat and possible stealth in the next game

[@appetizingly]

On Grandmaster Dual Blades and the Blaster stance are the best by a long shot - the first for attack cancelling and the second because of the ridiculous reach, very fast animations and charged shot stagger. Against bosses and most stronger enemies the other stances - Crossguard especially - often force you into a very defensive playstyle, while the aforementioned two allow you to play extremely aggressive most of the time, once you're comfortable with the movesets. That being said, I just love the animations and overall feel of the Crossguard, so I just combine it with the Blaster stance for a solid mix of playstyles. EDIT: I forgot mentioning the shot parry as a plus for the Blaster stance. Being able to use that while blocking in case you mess up is pretty damn strong.

[@greekstyle5788]

Every video Ive watched has had a different ranking which really shows that they did a good job balancing to give different preferences to playstyle

[@loki76]

The Dual blade saber is listed with low damage. Yet it hits so many times and so fast it's doing tremendous amount of damage in actuality. It's my favorite in that it's loaded with attack animations and you can really deal with single and multiple targets. That deflect skill where is can just send back all bolts fired to multiple enemies is super good. Single blade is also good because it has so many different skills in it. I don't really like the dual wield as much because it feels lacking somehow. Also very weak defense and that's not good. Makes you a glass cannon, but without the cannon part, lol. I don't feel it does more damage.

[@JRGProjects]

I play like Luke used to in the OT. Blaster Stance for free roam and exploriing but for boss fights I go Saber Staff. I think for Cal, the Saber Staff as his heavy hitter is fitting considering Jaro Tapol was his Master. So for narrative and story elements. Thats why I use Saber staff.

[@andray310]

Single and Blaster have definitely been by 2 favorite. Single has aerial abilities and Blaster is jus OP.

[@the_sixxness]

I run Single. It has useful aerial force attacks. Jumping is a defensive tactic that I don't see many using. Single allows a jumping dash attack that adds offense to this defense tactic.

[@WiseOakDakota]

Love the idea of the cross guard, but I’ve been running my double bladed as my main and dual wield as my backup, love the long combo strikes in dual wield and the blocking in double bladed plus the fast attack combo

[@robertmaloney6970]

5. Single 4. Dual wield. 3. Double blade 2. Blaster 1. Crossguard Once you figure out distance, dodge, and counter it's silly op. Especially with the upgraded deflection that sends a charge shot back at them.

[@louisrovegno542]

You seriously underrated the dual saber stance. You didn't mention perhaps its most important feature, that you can animation cancel into a block to protect yourself against an unexpected attack.

[@rodrigonoal]

For Jedi Grandmaster I found Crossguard very good because of the extra defense and punch. It was basically my boss killer. Blaster was very good for keeping pressure from afar too, and the best for bullet sponge enemies. I will now experiment more with dual sabers, because I found out about the animation cancelation somewhat far into my first playthrough, but I think it is climbing up my rank. Dual bladed I tend to use only around groups.

[@hypercriticalbrit]

Cross-guard and dual blade. Cross-guard has great power and blocking abilities so it’s amazing against bosses, the larger drones and for blocking lots of shots fired at you. Dual blade is great for the bots too and most of the npcs you fight with the added benefit that you can cancel attacks. Flip between these and you have the strongest end of both scales. Really powerful styles.

[@TheLuckyShepherd]

I like Dual weild bcuz attack cancel & blaster because distance. Blaster is just nice to mix things up too.

[@samueldoeswhatever7307]

I like to pair the crossgaurd and the dual blade. they're basically exact opposites of each other, so it makes switching between situations much easier. like when fighting bounty hunters, a some majority of the time there's going to be 1 or so, but have a couple of guys to back them up. being able to stagger and kill off the lesser somewhat, then focusing on the big guy when the distractions are gone with the crossguard.

[@Cypher652]

Single does not get enough credit, with the dash attacks and force push and the aerial dash attack means the single is the most aerial playstyle especially with jumping being the most effective dodge

[@healthylifestyle3427]

I am claymore/hammer guy in Soul's games, I m using the crossguard almost exclusively. Dual blade is super powerful too.

[@frxsy852]

I haven’t played this game yet but I’m already in love

[@PlazDreamweaver]

I really enjoy the dual-wield and double-bladed stances. The double-bladed stance has very quick and extendable combo strings that make it perfect for dealing insane damage during guard breaks. And its gap-closer melts guard and deals a lot of hitstun. The dual-wield stance deals a lot of guard damage and allows you to block-cancel, making it very adaptable. Both stances are great against opponents who move around a lot, which this game has a ton of, and they look the coolest imo. On the contrary, I've found the blaster stance to feel incredibly janky, unfluid, and just sucky all around. And its jab and lunge attacks have the hitbox of a sewing pin, while feeling very awkward to use. Not a fan despite having been a fencer in the past. And I found the cross-guard to actually be the easiest to use 1v1 and 1v2 since it takes advantage of the incredibly long and obvious telegraphs enemy attacks have in this game and just melts them. However, when fighting groups, it's basically useless.

[@ixfeisty]

Cross guard became my 2nd favorite in my 2nd play through. Definitely tough to master but once you get the gist of the stance, can arguably be ranked the best stance.

[@MrNuttelutte]

Switching between Crossguard and blaster has proven to be very effective for me. Yes Crossguard is slow, but so damn effective when you master it.

Yeah, I don't like the blaster stance, either. It seems to janky and un-fluid. The doublebladed and dual-wield stances feel the best and melt enemy shields while giving you insane mobility. Crossguard is probably the easiest to use 1v1, but is absolutely horrid against groups, which you'll most of the time be encountering.

so there are two combos that work very well in this game, first is the dual wield and cross guard which is very good for destroying shields with the offensive style of dual wield then swapping to crossguard for the damage once they’re stunned. also the double blade and blaster, gives you the range and mobility from blaster while the defense and crowd control from the double blade. both are very viable imo

[@ttv_restile_yt545]

I literally do the dual wield and crossguard combo 😂. The only thing I wish, is that the crossguard stance could block those unstoppable attacks, it just makes sense to me that it would be able to because the crossguard is for defense

[@anamamer2600]

I am more of a button masher so for me dual wield is the best. It can cancel the attk and block at any moment. The block can also be useful for parrying. Cancel the attk with block n then parry.

[@hot-_-fries1254]

Cross guard sacrifices speed and agility for more high damaging attacks, it just requires you to be a little more methodical and careful with your hits and helps not getting too greedy when your opponent is open.

[@marty0678]

Recently started trying the Ambidextrous perk with the Blaster stance and the damage is quite impressive. Not as strong as the crossguard stance, but it's faster which almost makes up for it. Shoot an enemy, attack them, get your bullet back, repeat.

My fav is probably the blaster stance. Being able to shoot enemies that are high up is great for clearing out ranged attackers. Quickdraw is also a great skill for what is an instant kill for most enemies

[@The_Jho]

Preach the double blade love, the lunge it has is amazing against bosses and destroying enemy stamina, grandmaster rancor is surprisingly easy with it

[@smoke9047]

Crossguard has been my favorite stance along with dual wielding. It is so fun.

[@Copperbollex]

Crossguard is an awesome stance ever since i got it i havent stopped using it

[@ajclannachan]

@@Copperbollex yeah same. He is right though it’s hard work to use if there is a big group. I’m just going round collecting all the items so I’m going to try other styles.

[@kSwissh007]

i use double blade for groups and duel wield when fighting one on one and when i break someones guard…i use the single blade for the swag kombos…double blade and crossguard stance is perfect against bosses

[@MrCrunchytime]

I see all these guys talking about Dual Wield and dodge-canceling, which is nice and all, but here's my piece. Doubleblade is the best because not only do you need it regularly to deal with heavy gunner troopers and large groups of enemies, it completely shreds enemy defenses, from both the endless amount of hits it deals and through it's easy-mode parrying. I pretty much just used other stances for flavor; when I was serious, it was Whirling Blades of Death time.

[@seanclaxton800]

I chose the double bladed lightsaber as my main stance. I find it the most versatile against all enemy types and flows the best for me.

[@katherineB912]

For me, best was double light saber and the one with the blaster. With the double you are fast and have good defense. Especially when you use L1 and square where you spin and attack. It's gotten me through a lot of spots.

[@Drelam]

The double sided saber really is quite incredible. It kinda stun locks enemies with its constant dance of attacks so its good in 1v1 but since its constantly AOEing every thing around you in the process it just clears rooms, double also has the most varied amount of attacks. Every stance is viable and so well done, but after a lot of testing I gotta agree with your list my top three are the same except I might put OG single stance at #1 over blaster based off its jack of all trades versatility. Dual is really fun its ability to cancel attacks is great it makes me feel like I'm playing Sekiro again with its speed and control but I always end up going back to double sided over it mostly for the ranged barrel roll attack, I kinda wish dual had a similar move over its jumping forward and back attack move, there's a move in Jedi Academy that I'm specifically thinking of that I feel this game is missing for dual stance.

[@CRIMSON-FLAME1]

I agree with your saying here. I like all the stances but you can't deny the badassery of the double blade for sure it also good in 1v1 duels because it's defense is the second best under cross guard. I would say that you just need to be careful not to over combo or the enemy will get the advantage for a slight second. But that's why I like double blade because it's good in duels if you know what your doing but it will clear a room if you know which enemies to go after first. Definitely a lethal stance for sure.

[@sparkin05]

I love all the stances and I'm happy the additional stances adding onto what fallen order gave us don't fall short. The blaster stance is my favourite because it's so refreshing to see a jedi use a weapon other than a saber while fighting. I would have liked them to allow us to use all 5 stances in a fight instead of limiting to just two, but I can see how that might be harder to implement than just sticking with fallen order stance controls on the left and right d-pad (sorry pc players idk the controls lol). It definitely would have been cool to be able to switch between all 5 stances in one fight to better play to each of their strengths, like double-bladed multi deflect or blaster range or the powerful strikes of the cross guard, but I guess that defeats the purpose of creativity with environment and force powers in combat.

[@sparkin05]

I should add that I don't want the five saber stances at once for convenience/I'm too lazy to go to a meditation point or workbench, nor do I want them all at once because I think it'd be cool mid fight to use all five in some wacky combo (it would). The main reason I want all five is because I will find two stances I like the best and stick with them, as opposed to using each one equally, and it feels to me at least that I'm missing out on the other three stances that I wouldn't use as often (not that I would absolutely never use them, but it'd just be infrequently)

[@ttv_restile_yt545]

Yea I would like to be able to use all 5 as well. It takes FOREVER to go and change them out especially when you’re out in the middle of nowhere lol. I thought of a way to fix this, let’s say you can customize 2 stances per d-pad side, so on the left one you have single and double bladed, then on the right side you have dual wield and crossguard (stick with me). You can change them just like before, but let’s say you have single on the left side equipped, you can hold the left d-pad to switch that side to the double bladed, and same thing with the other side. What about the blaster stance you may ask? Well when you equip the single lightsaber, maybe you can customize a way to change the single to blaster and back if you want. Idk, just my thoughts and I felt proud of them so I thought I’d share lol

[@Matty80822]

Yeah i was in love with blaster real quick

[@CRIMSON-FLAME1]

You traitor......jk not really. I thought I wouldn't like that stance but I super surprised to say the least. I love the how fast it is and the balance between the the flurry move and the blaster meter.

[@jarmoliebrand2005]

I’ve started liking all of them a lot, but… 5. Single 4. Dual 3. Cross guard 2. Double 1. Blaster

[@The_Jho]

5. Dual wield 4. Single 3. Blaster 2. Double blade 1. Crossguard

[@pelicanhill3251]

I used dual wield and double bladed most of the time. Dual Wield is great at dishing out lots of punishment quickly, while the double bladed stance was great for large groups of enemies since you can attack so fast. Crossguard was fun to use because of the power, but it's just too slow. Single blade is fine. I had some good moments with the blaster stance, but it felt like ammo ran out so quickly. I know you can upgrade, but it's a pain.
