[@daveyjoneslocker4703]

Single always made the boss fights the most fun. You can be extremely acrobatic, do pretty good stagger and close the gap really efficiently. I had so much fun Jedi flipping over boss attacks, coming down with the overhead slam, flipping away and gap closing with thrust and overhead slash.

Double stance sometimes gets me hit due to being locked in an animations but I really love how it feels like you’re dancing around the battle so I can live with that

[@valravnsshadow9422]

You can just swap stance mid attack to change movesets.

[@calebhigham7750]

I’m the complete opposite. I primarily used crossguard and would swap to double bladed for some bosses. Expect for Spawn of ogdo in which I used crossguard to defeat.

[@thehollow2936]

I do something similar but i just use double blade to mow down weaker enemies decently fast before whipping out cross guard to take care of any tough enemies

[@snappy7225]

A tip for dual wielders like me! When you throw one of your saber while dual wielding, you get access to some of the single sabers special moves for a couple of secs if you got it leveled up in the skill tree. Like the L1 + square or Jump + L1 + square. Another reason the dual wield is the best stance. It’s the best of both worlds!

[@joelb1299]

This isn't completely accurate. You can combo with any of the stances by manually swapping to the other stance you have selected. Dual wield is fine if you're playing below master level difficulty, but if you're playing on higher difficulty, some of the other stances have significantly more value.

[@moe18777]

If you play on pc nexus mods already has a mod for that

[@dizzyMongoose]

I disagree; restricting what you use is a conscious design choice that makes you strategize what you want and what you _give up,_ which is underappreciated. If you give everyone access to everything at once, what tends to happen is that players will use less of everything, because they'll optimize to only use the best parts of every style, and every further addition gets mined for just the best pieces and the rest ignored. Having just two styles forces you to use more of each style and think more about which styles complement each other, which is something you don't get if you have access to all of them at once. There's some interesting analysis from the Magic: The Gathering CCG about this very idea in card game design and why they set up their Modern format to rotate sets out to prevent stagnation from being able to use every card in existence.

Blaster is just light-years above everything else, honestly. When you get your health back, it will also reload your ammo gauge, and there's a perk that increases your blaster's damage. Landing blaster shots increases force gauge too. So, you can approach a fight, unload all your shots, use all your force gauge, then pick up your bloodstain, unload everything again. I cheesed through the first phase of the Rayvis in like 10 seconds with this strategy.

[@brunomatassini9879]

Blaster has quickly become my favorite for both bosses and crowd encounters. Being able to combo string bosses with point blank is insane damage and speed, sometimes better than crossguard. And then in crowds you can pick off little enemies at range and then take care of stronger enemies with point blank and combos, or pull them all in and do a sweep with crossguard stance which is my favorite secondary due to charged deflect and huge damage.

[@Yo_Velly]

You can dash strike in the air with the single bladed stance. It's much faster than the grounded version. For instance you can jump in any direction and dodge and still fly towards enemies after using the ability. As long as you in the air. It also helps against some huge bosses if you want to use a hit-and-run type of style.

[@Mooonn69699]

I go for dual wield and cross guard, Dual wield is the best for combat overall and once I break the guard of the opponent, immediately go to cross guard for big damage, it deals big damage especially with the perk that gives temporary boost to damage after switching stances. Dual wield is so fun to use, you can pair it up with any of the stances basically. Best ranking vid so far, all of the other ranking vids just doesn't get the usefulness of the dual wield.

[@TheJinnobi]

Dual Wield is my go-to: animation cancelling and a strong auto-parry is awesome against melee opponents.

[@cargopilotguy305]

They should have updated Cal’s animations with single blade to reflect a more experienced Jedi. He still looks like a goofy unsure of himself kid with it which, for me, makes single blade less enjoyable to play with. He looks like he’s scared when he’s holding the single blade imo. I used crossguard for basically all of the game

[@Zakori]

Single blade has some of the cleanest animations in the game and seeing the moves he’s using to their real world sword style it’s actually the moves of a very experienced swordsman

[@magus13131]

The only time I don't use Dual Wield is for specific enemies; Crossguard is excellent if you want to break the big claw of those giant desert scorpion enemies (then swap back to Dual Wield lol) Blaster (with the Stun upgrade) can stunlock certain very annoying enemies, particularly the Raiders with the big 2-handed hammers

[@criscris428]

honestly it depends on how you play and what dificulty it is. but on higher dificulty I'd really prefer crossguard and double blade. I finish in master dificulty all through out... the blaster is ok but building up your bullets would take time and the saber play is not that good I would say but if you are willing to use force abilities then thats ok. single blade is actually pretty good you just need patience like in crossguard. the dual wield is really good though it's not bad engage to build force then dish out those dancing blades. I don't use the precision parry much. if the double blades final skill was not controlled throw something that deals heavy damage it might be the strongest stance.

[@ilovelctr]

Fun fact the dash ability when u use the double bladed lightsaber is actually Darth mauls ability in star wars battlefront 2

[@Pugerino]

A bit different but same concept

[@ZR-cj2fm]

Here's my issue personally. I love lore-accurate lightsabers in my games. So I took the purity perk and slapped that on the moment I got it. When playing with it, since your lightsaber kills almost every enemy except DT droids, heavy mercs, some bounty hunters, and monstrous creatures. There is little point in using slower and higher damage stances. Crossguard basically becomes a liability and purposeful handicap. Imo, once you unlock purity, all that matters is how quickly you can hit the most targets. Which leaves us with 2 options. 1. Blaster stance which has the ability to 1-shot a majority of enemies and the utility stun option. 2. Dual Blade, because it's AOE is great + solid defense against blasters. An argument can of course be made for dual wielding and single but they don't quite stack up since Blaster stance is just single with a gun most of the time and it will never really let you down and the dual blade is just more useful as an alt stance when ya dealing with heavy Blaster fire considering a single shot will kill you if you aren't careful.

[@decepticonsoundwave297]

I really like Crossguard + Blaster, mostly because I find myself using the blaster to finish off tough enemies when its too risky to try and break their block meter all over again

[@tidianesimpson]

Wow finally a tier list I agree with! Honestly dual wield (my main) short range doesn’t matter. While you can attack cancel into guard you can also cancel a dodge into guard and thus “dash cancel”. easy way to close the distance between you and any opponent.

Single blade is the most versatile stance. I dont use it because i use the best stance, blaster blade. And my secondary is cross guard(the actual worst stance) for tanks and bosses.

[@JayFox128]

I really wish that single blade had more combos. Maybe a stutter/pause combo and a longer base combo.

[@BiggieJ4224]

I still think the animation cancel should be for combat across the board, not just duel wield. Reason being it’s a lot more rewarding and engaging for dodging in time, and doesn’t lock you into animations and fits the description of being a Jedi with god-tier reflexes. Also some people might think it would make slower stances like crossguard op, this wouldn’t be the case because the long wind up animation of crossguard still has to connect to actually do damage. So essentially if you animation cancel the whole time you wouldn’t be doing any damage so it’s mainly useful for dodging and defensive purposes, or to create more useful and creative combo strings

dual wield definitely my number 1 too. its my go to for boss fights, the fact that u can parry and enemy while hitting them at the same time is amazing

[@Tyrineal]

- Dual Wield seems brain dead, just mash attack and use the cancel to shave off recovery frames on the final hit of the combo and resume attacking. the skill tree also seems legit useless as well. I didn't like how it felt it feels so wrong I can make myself safe on a bad read or in situations I deserve to be hit - Double Blade I never take off, its CC abilities are so good and has amazing defenses. It's also quite a DPS monster as well, though is rather unsafe in this manner but it can melt a boss health bar shockingly quick by using the hold attack buttons (all of which can combo together BTW) - Single I kept coming back to, just has so many tools for every possible situation making it an all around solid option - Blaster is super fun, chaining stabs and blaster shots together making stylish combos. Charging the blaster shot while attacking with the Lightsaber felt natural as a long time Devil May Cry player, and just as satisfying ending a combo with a charged blaster shot - Crossguard I found great success treating it as a counter attack stance. Also discovered the game has a small jump when you just tap jump, Cal will only jump up about 6 inches off the ground. You can use the air attack during this time and this is actually faster then the normal attack. Very useful for fast enemies. Also yeeting it through dozens of stormtroopers never gets old

[@soulbearer6214]

The single blade has 1 skill thats overpowered. The jump in air an slam down. It does massive dmg to health an gaurd. A lot of things you can 1 shot by jumping over them an slamming em in the back. Every weapon is good. Depends on play style. Double , single , blaster , duel an last cross is my order.

[@jfb173jb]

I been thinking this for a bit, but the stances seem to borrow from a few of the different forms. Single blade seems like Form 1 based on the way the blade is held. Double blade feels like Form 4 and some Form 3. Crossguard is like Form 5 given the power counterattack nature. Blaster seems like a mix of Form 2 and 6. While Dual Wield is like Forms 6 and 4. Based on the rapid attacks and use of 2 lightsabers.

[@random-unbreaded-commentor]

Blaster stance L1 + triangle will let you stun lock most human bosses. And it recharges your force meter just enough to keep doing it over and over and over again. It's cheap. It's petty. But it works in a pinch.

[@buzzyb13]

I run dual wield as my main, and bounce back and forth between double blade and crossguard as my secondary. Just defeated Rayvis last night with the crossguard on Jedi Master difficulty, let me tell you it was not an easy task but I wanted to challenge myself. Rayvis is so erratic but once you learn the patterns of his first and second phase, he's not too bad, just gotta avoid the blaster/rocket combo he uses during phase 2 to overwhelm you.

[@sterlingcrawford1218]

Double bladed is basically a must-have IMO. The ability to hold the deflect button to send all blaster shots back for damage is too useful to not have, and the throw it too good at getting you out of pickles when you’re surrounded

Crossguard is great if you aren't button mashing. If will quickly break through defenses and deplete HP if you are attacking at the right moments. Especially bosses, where you only have time for a couple hits after they stagger, or 1 hit if you make them whiff. Crossguard will provide the most damage per hit in those situations and end the fight sooner.

[@Grand_Admiral_Thrawn2630]

I mained double blade for most of my grandmaster play through, it’s ability to reflect so many blaster bolts back at all the enemies regardless of who fired the shot was outstanding. For most of the game I used dual wield as a secondary until my buddy convinced me to give Crossguard another try. I practiced with that for a while and got good with it and still used double blade for most things. I would break out crossguard for heavy enemies or boss fights, and it’s ability to break enemy guard meter with its heavy damage and the shatter perk felt very good in the final boss encounter.

This is so interesting, litteraly watched a video where some guy put dual blade 4 on his list. Shows how versatile this game is in terms of your own preference

[@The_Jho]

I find the focused parry thing that dual wield has as a hindrance and not a positive, you lose more combos and attacks for something that takes a while to use and it’s not extremely power for how long it takes and how much force it can drain

[@AllDayErrDay.]

And on JGM, when AI sees you do that, they hit you with a red attack.

[@NMages20]

I'm 100% the "kill them with mosquito bites" type of player. Which is why the duel Saber style is absolutely perfect for me 👍 fast, automatic deflect, the move where you can lunge at the enemy and then jump back automatically, it's just fantastic and in my opinion over powered when playing on easy. I had to up the difficulty because I never died from an enemy on my first playthrough

[@Gamesnvibes]

I also love the holster animations for the double bladed man it’s too satisfying

[@Michael_Oliver_]

I prefer the single blade and dual wielding stances. IDK why, but parrying is harder for me with any other stance. I can't seem to get the timing down all that great, which I'm best at with the single blade from the previous game.

[@valravnsshadow9422]

Use cross guard or double blade as those have the beat defense and parry windows.

[@Logan-ef8hq]

My personal tier list in order from 1st to last: blaster>crossguard>dual wield>single>double. I'll admit I mostly used blaster and crossguard after getting them, occasionally swapping crossguard for dual wield. The other 2 I've only toyed with a bit, so that's partially why they're lower on the list. Single blade air dash is fun though 😂

[@bullymaguire745]

The fact that the cross guard is so underrated is crazy. I have one shot bosses with the right perk’s combined.

[@gothxm]

I love that the pistol one's attacks look like Count Dooku's lightsaber form : Makashi.

[@tommygodwin609]

I like to think I will do a 2nd playthrough with a different stance but I won't lol I use the duel blade 90% of the time and then use double for a large group.

[@Conkers93]

I really need to try and figure out what all the hype around dual wield is cause I DESPISE dual wield. It’s the easiest to break, interrupt, get overwhelmed by two or three good enemies, and no matter my parries or combos I feel like it’s paper. I’m never interrupted with any of the stances, but I realize I could just be lousy with the stance.

[@devildavin]

i been going Blaster and Crossguard. i been enjoying crossguard and its been a reminder to slow down, don't rush it.

[@DrStunJosh]

I never got a lot of usage out of blaster but realy loved switching into crossguard for big hits then switching back to another stance

[@GalaxyXYZ888]

I use manly dual Wield and Doubleblade they are amazing and the most stylish ones

[@ForeveraBoss117]

Single blade and Crossguard are my favorites to run. It reminds me of that Star Wars anime with the kid putting in a rainbow kyber krystal to make his saber more powerful .

[@evalonia]

I use the Blaster and Crossguard. I find it a perfect balance between quick combat with some distance shots with the blaster, and hard blows with the Crossguard against tougher enemies.

[@karimtohme9195]

all game long i didn't use the single blade, but eventually at the end it was the sword that i beat the last boss with, its the most balanced one and its the best one for parrying for me on grandmaster with the minimal parry window

[@TheBurningcage27]

Its hardly relavent especially at higher levels but the trees have different req, crossguard costs the least to max: 11, then double bladed and blaster with with 12, single with 13, and dual with 14. Again minor differences once maxed but a crossguard, blaster/double combo gives 23 skill points to max where single and dual costs 27 a 4 skill gap which at certain levels is a big difference in what those free skills can go to

[@Blessed_Strayder]

single blade at the very bottom is crazy, it literally has a strong tool for every situation and is the swiss army knife of the stances, it has no weaknesses especially when you have all the abilities

[@orionn3246]

blaster is not single target only, against multiple targets use blaster to keep them away and stun them then finish with saber. very easy clearing groups this way, it’s group capabilities are arguably second best. either tied or above dual wield, behind double. this goes to show even more with the blaster modes like stun and ricochet

[@bearimpaler101]

I feel like crossguard is that one pokemon attack that is your best one but does damage to you in return.

[@perckmalice70]

Cross guard n the blaster stance imo is hard to master but oh boy once you do, the experience goes up ten notches.

[@Punchbadguy]

One nice thing about the cross guard is that you can often times just break an enemy's guard by just attacking them. It does so much damage that they can't parry you in time

[@captkalik]

I use dual wield for close small combat offense cause of its ability to cancel an attack and dodge, and then double blade since it’s good for crowd control with weaker enemies since it has lower power but higher defense than dual wield , but boss fights I like dual wield and cross guard cause I use the dual wield to get hard hits in while dodging but once I break their defense I switch to cross guard and start hitting hard with that while the bosses defense is down , don’t use the other too much but I’ll prob try with them again on next play through

[@theyearwas1473]

I saw the snap of him slicing those toads and I clicked.

[@YoutubeGuy-ns9xj]

I love single blade maxed out with every skill. Now I'm using blaster as a complement w ricochet shot. Perfect for taking out droids or if you just want some quick long range damage

[@neilagrawal1561]

As a souls strength build, I love the cross guard. But I guess I gotta play more with the dual wield and blaster

[@J-money201]

I've literally gotten through every obstacle with just my single blade. A lot of people fall asleep on the single blade but it's exceptionally powerful and with the double blade it was just overkill for me.

[@gabecollins5585]

My favorite one so far is the one with the blaster and the one with the cross guard. You get range with the blaster fast strikes with the saber and powerful strikes woth the cross guard and a lot of defense. Perfect for me. Good for all scenarios basically.

[@AshCycle14]

I love using the duel weild snd crossgard, using the duel weild to burn through the enemy's block stam and than dealing heavy damage with the crossguard

[@ianbelletti6241]

The cross guard stance feels more clunky than it aught to be. He swings the sword like it's a heavy sword but instead of flowing to the next swing Cal stops the movement, pauses, and starts a whole new swing. It makes it feel like Cal is massively overextending himself intentionally making the use of the cross guard sword take longer than it has to to come back into play.
