Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - Single Saber Stance Guide

[@stargatefan10]

For the vast majority of the game, i went with single saber as my primary, and dual wielding as my secondary. Worked really well for me.

[@Dare_To_Game]

I did that for a good chunk of my first playthrough as well.

[@alternative7586]

My 2 most used combos were Dual Wield + Double Bladed, and Dual Wield + Crossguard. I've now went back to Single + Double.

[@carinasmirnoff1780]

Single saber is consistently my favorite.

[@Dare_To_Game]

Mine as well. I like a couple other stances a lot, and i know the various Pros and Cons of them all, but i really like the single saber stance.

At harder levels parrying is a must. You’ll kill enemies much faster by parrying their attacks instead of jumping away from them. And your wrong about the single blade not being able to close the gap remember it has no weaknesses. Your dash attack and your lunge are your gap closers. The single blade has an answer for every situation unlike the other stances. The other stances are easier to use in certain situations but will fall short in one area.

[@maciekprokop3780]

It doesnt really matter that pseudo ability to cancel animation. If you attack after parry when you have time you dont need that and you do more dmg per swing with single blade. Single blade is the best in the game, and double is best for group of enemies. Dual wield is only good if you use that broken parry everything skill.

[@Creshex8]

@@maciekprokop3780The one advantage dual wield has is the ability to block cancel out of your attacks instantly. This is important at maximum difficulty. This is also why I rarely use the double bladed lightsaber, the time at which you can block out of an attack is pretty long.

[@ParryThis]

I would have preferred if the game set you with one or two options, and then let you specialize in a style. Like Soresu or Makashi.

[@Dare_To_Game]

That could have been really cool.

[@AzureExia]

That woulda been cool but all of the forms are used in the game in Cals animations. Makeshi is what he uses when using the blaster

[@mos_tekmusic7285]

One thing i noticed you didnt menion is with the single blade stane you're able to press the diretional stick either left/right or back + attack in mid combo and cal will extend the combo. This is the only stance this can be done with.

[@robertman369]

Single saber with heavy force power usage feels very good. Mass lift and slam makes up for the lack of cc and aoe damage

[@Lexi-vl5eh]

Really good guide. Definitely do more like this.

[@Dare_To_Game]

I plan to do all the stances.

[@paulgraham6134]

I am currently trying to go through all the levels using just one stance at a time. Don't know if that's possible but I'm starting with single blade.

[@Creshex8]

Single blade is very likely the absolute best for this. Dashing attacks, single hit powerful skill attacks that are low commitment, and aerial attacks let you attack from many distances and positions. The second best is probably dual wield. It’s the only stance with an instant cancel out of normal attacks by blocking. The force parry is also excellent against very strong opponents. Try and figure out how to guarantee an incoming attack and activate the parry. The force parry has a small startup delay, so you can’t use it for the very fastest attacks you didn’t see coming.

[@DeutzFarmer96]

I think the single saber one is my favorite because it looks the most like my favorite jedis.

[@Dare_To_Game]

Yeah, that's probably why i like it so much too. All my favorite Jedi were single saber users.

[@HenryKobyla1407]

Awesome video mate. Well done.

[@Dare_To_Game]

Thank you very much.

[@jayhartRIC]

I’m running mainly blaster but I switch to this for some bosses

[@gamingwiththegeek1207]

Great stuff man!

[@Dare_To_Game]

Thank you very much.

[@karagoddess3328]

I've always had the single blade as one of my stances. I don't know why but it just feels wrong to NOT have a single blade and switch into another stance. Lol

[@guitarman0365]

Twofold reflection skill doesnt work 2024. The dual stance one works. The crossgaurd overpowered blaster reflect skill works, and the double saber multireflect skill works. Doesnt seem to do anythinf different then how the game starts getting it for single

[@anismuhaj4495]

Man i cant perform A,B in single saber the B button doesnt work but i can see in the moveset A,B i dont understand . Can you tell me something?

[@MrBrandon]

As soon as you recommended that people jump for all situations instead of parry, I tuned out. That’s bad advice, imo. Cheers for your efforts, though.

[@heroscapewarrior4217]

I agree, jumping has its place but a well timed parry or force evade will lead to well timed combos

[@alternative7586]

The Single Bladed Saber is great for early game, serving as a tutorial stance (along with double bladed), which doesn't get used a lot. But as you get into later game with all of those hard bosses (Double Rancor, Spawn of Oggdo), you depend on Dual Wield and/or Crossguard to get the job done.

[@maciekprokop3780]

It doesnt really matter that pseudo ability to cancel animation. If you attack after parry when you have time you dont need that and you do more dmg per swing with single blade. Single blade is the best in the game, and double is best for group of enemies. Dual wield is only good if you use that broken parry everything skill.
