I love the blaster stance. Good for panicy moments to get out of a rough area. Also blaster parry is satisfying AF
And is awesome to use makashi (form 2)
@@fakecrusaderfrom1096 oh yeah that to. Passed my mind
He just isn't playing it right. You use Marsman perk with the blaster it becomes way more powerful.
What makes the blaster stance so good is how quickly you can recover out of a blaster shot into a dodge or parry, you can really keep up the aggression if you know when to shoot
@@fakecrusaderfrom1096 that’s why i exclusively use blaster form lol, love fighting like dooku
Blaster stance is dank as long as you pair it with the force powers. Suspend a group and use lock on. Force push a group and shoot multiple. Force pull one person in, use it’s triple thrust ability to reload, force push, rinse and repeat. Fun when played right
Don't forget perks.
it’s also far weaker than the others when you only have a couple upgrades, being really discouraging to stick with. once you figure it out though it feels amazing
Once I unlocked the Jedi Claymore, I found it hard to use anything else. It is so satisfying to break enemies’ block meters with it
I actually think the crossgard stance is the worst because of it slow swings
@@jonvance3527 It's the worst in outnumbered fights, but the best in 1v1's.
@@alfamari7675 not really
@@jonvance3527 Most damage, most stamina damage, highest defense. Provided you are matching the tempo of the fight parrying/dodging then attacking during your openings and not being greedy with it, it's able to shutdown 1v1's the fastest due to it's damage.
Especially if you consider the "turns" for attacking and defending are based on stamina damage, and because it does the most, this moves the fight towards your attack "turn" faster and more frequently while following up with the highest damage. And because of this "turn"/counterattack system the slowness of the weapon doesn't come into effect in 1v1's, only while outnumbered.
@@alfamari7675 your still wrong blaster stance is the beast stance the blaster parry can actually parry red attack and a charged shot can knock enemies out of a red attack
After mastering the blaster stance parry, most enemies can't even fight back and melee red attacks no longer have to be dodged. Just free damage
Wait, it can parry unblockable attacks?
double bladed can also be extremely damaging in single target. hold square and L1 + Square do massive damage. and the moves of double bladed flow really well into each other. In my opinion it is overall the best stance.
This is how I beat the rancor.
I use double blade the same way and has been effective for me too.
Have been using double the same as well its basically the only one I use now
the blaster is underrated, it has a selection of extra shots and you can pair it with saber and blaster to melt enemies (i took out a DT security droid with minimal effort)
I came here just to say this. Out of the box the kit feels a little weak but it breaks gard almost as fast as claymore and the blaster shots can significantly change your style of play. The stun shot is kinda insane for cc
There's a perk that can increase the damage of the blaster and Add the perk to break enemy guard than you have a blaster that is equal to your sabers damage.
@@deadspace6256 and throw in shatter perk too
Yeah the perks really help and it helps that it reminds me of Hollow Knight.
I swapped between double bladed and cross guard, the double for groups and high fire rate blasters, and the cross guard for single combat
Same here
Same!
I love that respawn were able to make each stance feel useful in one way or another and you had to actually master them to be effective. I personally love the double bladed saber especially when dealing with the blaster enemies and large groups so I could jump in and just hack away at high speed and then when it gets to more 1-1 duels and bosses I while out the dual wield 😍
Damn I feel the opposite about Double Bladed. It's useful in so many scenarios for me and is pretty much my old reliable.
Yeah I like it as well, especially going up against a lot of enemies. One clanker is easy, but a whole horde can make the double bladed a life saver.
Agreed
Nice to see you branching into other games that interest you! Single does seem like the best stance, especially since it's always been an iconic pose across the Star Wars franchise. Have a fun Tuesday, Azhy. 😁
Single is definitely best simply coz it has that abusable Dash Attack which covers great distance on the ground and ignores physics in air AND lets you get in a heavy slash immediately after the air one hits. Because the entire game has no real answer for when you jump, you can literally beat the entire game by jumping left/right and airdashing away from attacks then using air Dash Attack to reverse trajectory and instantly counterattack AND get in a heavy air slash and just lather rinse repeat. The entire game falls to this pattern simply coz the game is another Elden Ring where the AI isn't designed to handle jumping attacks.
@@shirakanihow about u don’t use cheap and boring combos and just have fun and play the game with a bit more variety?
@@ConzyWonzy1 It's called part of learning the game. First you work out how shit works and the holes in the AI, then you win/clear by 'any means necessary' first. Once you achieve that, then you can dial shit up and have fun with sub-optimal play.
But if we're talking what is 'optimal and best' then what I said holds water.
Pathetic, everyone knows the best stance is the high ground
crossguard is my favorite as well, it melts mini-bosses on grandmaster. the learning curve was definitely kind of steep, especially since you don’t get it for a while and get used to other stances, but it’s totally worth it. the insane block stamina allows you to learn boss moves quicker imo, then capitalize the most when you do have a second.
Not a single one of the stances is bad honestly. They just had to give them all their own strengths and weaknesses for balance. One that I really enjoy using is dual wield. It’s my go-to. Absolutely love how quick it is, I find it can rival the double-bladed when going against large groups. Plus it has higher damage than double-bladed. I want to like the crossblade because it’s almost a bit OP. But it’s so slow I barely use it. It can be very good against bosses though. I just think it’s a bad option against big groups. And this game’s hardest fights are often against large groups of enemies. Blaster can be good, if used right. For me it feels way too awkward to use. All stances just feel natural especially single stance, the only one that feels a bit awkward imo is blaster stance. And I’m usually too busy getting parries and just doing normal lightsaber attacks, that I often forget about using the blaster. And it feels like it could do higher damage. I think the range is cool. But at the same time, when enemies shoot at you from afar it’s just easier to deflect it, rather than trying to shoot them. Just can’t get used to using it.
I find the doubled bladed one to be the best overall. It can easily stun lock most enemies.
Every stance if for a different play style, most lists will end up being different from eachother because of that, I also recommend taking 3 perk slots minimum into consideration with them, like marksmanship makes blaster stance way stronger, and the classic combo of resilience and shattered works amazing with all but dual wield from my testing
let’s go! i didn’t even know i wanted this video
Two lightsabers is the best. The fact that you can spam attack and not worry about not being able to party seems op. The attack cancelling on them has saved me a million times. Playing on Jedi grandmaster difficulty too.
I agree I feel like I'm starkill 2.0
Blaster parry gods when the enemy tries to do a unblockable: its free real estate
I found the blaster stance incredibly useful for breaking enemy defenses and leading it up with lightsaber hits. Or just lifting everyone and blasting em all at the same time
I found that the Crossguard stance, though somewhat hard to get used to, is probably my favorite. It takes care of block meters pretty reliably, does chunky damage, and can deal with single and multiple targets effectively.
Really great review of all the stances regardless of ranking! Thank you for this!
Finally someone else likes the crossgaurd and not just saying it’s bad like most other creators
After completing 100% on Jedi Grandmaster because im a college student who stayed up all night playing star wars instead of studying for finals I will say from best to worst
1. Single Blade
2. Blaster
3. Twin Blade
4. Double blade
5. Crossguard
Single Blade: I like the overall balance to the saber, Cal felt quick and agile and did good damage, i definitely used this saber the most during my playthrough because of the overall effectiveness in all categories
Blaster: i feel like the blaser felt like the single but with a GUN, the blaster stance felt quick and percise while having the advantage of taking out low health or completely one shotting lesser enemy's with a single blaster bolt, also having Ricochet was so fun, only number 2 because Master Tapal doesnt approve
Twin blade: The speed of the twin blade is what made me like it and not like it, how quick Cal was, was fun but also made me feel i could get away with more hits when in reality you can only get maybe 1 if the weather is right (skill issue i guess) but also the variety of attacks also felt lacking just two basic attacks or one basic and the delay hold felt very meh and the auto parry was useless
Double blade: i dont like how defensive this stance was, and when playing aggressive the attacks went on for 3 days which leaves you open for attacks from behind i dont think this style fit the playstyle of the game, although on NG+ i can pretend to be Darth Maul
Cross guard: I was so excited to get this stance and when i finally got it and used it i said "ew" the stance is SO SLOW, cal winds up all the way from Bracca to land one attack when in that time i could have hit 2-3 shots with single blade and do the same damage. I understand many people like it but to me jedi are quick and agile and this stance felt grounded and slow. Its definitely not my playstyle
This has been my ranking of the saber stances in Jedi Survivor be sure to like and subscribe to AZHYMOVS they are one of the best TH-camrs on the platform and deserve all the love and support ❤
Blaster stance is insanely strong... you don't really use the blaster for damage anyway but it can be good for lowering enemy block meters or staggering certain enemies during unblockables. With the marksmanship perk, the blaster actually does really good damage. On the boss battle with two Mogu's, I got the boss down to like 15% health just with blaster damage. And the really long range attacks in that stance with the lightsaber can be a great way to safely deal damage against tough enemies.
I just think it's funny to dropkick a stormtrooper, and blaster is funny cause like, it really makes you feel like a space cowboy.
I’ve used the Dual wield as my primary single target fighting the with the double bladed as my secondary clearing out groups of weaker enemies or heavy blaster deflecting and it’s been doing wonders. i honestly think dual wield is the best stance in the game I find my dps to be much higher in that stance then the crossgaurd stance. I really want to like the crossgaurd stance because it’s very cool but I feel it’s often too slow especially against the enemies you would appreciate the higher damage against
Crossguard is meant to be used as a Punish stance, you are essentialy parrying 80% of the time and finish the enemies with 1-3 hits, feels the most Souls like to me^^
I was wondering when you would make a video. I constantly saw you online on Survivor on steam. The game is very addicting
My favorites stance combo is dual wield as stance 1 and claymore as stance 2, you play super offensively and high-speed with dual weild and when you switch he puts the two lightsabers together into a giant claymore and does nothing but pure damage
While the stances don’t have as much situational viability as I thought; good job on the devs end for scaling the overall viability this well. Double bladed sits easily at number one for me, and here it sits number 5 for you. The results of other videos like this as well just couldn’t be more polarizing. Often in games; most people will just be agree upon an easier way to take down enemies because the devs scale everything poorly, so something just works the best for almost everyone, but everyone has vastly different preferences in this game, so hats off to the devs. Btw; blaster is my secondary stance. I can see how every stance would become someone’s main or secondary ngl. If only the framerate was as optimized as these stances tho…
My prefferd stances are blaster and double blade mainly becouse i like the utility the blaster gives while pritty preforming well outside of the gun part. And the double blade is mainly my go to for groups as it gives a good bit of defence and aoe abillity's
Star Wars and AZHY😮 it's sooooo cool❤
Crossguard’s my personal fav too. The movements reminded me of a Knight wielding a claymore.
What I really like is the amount of people in the comments saying that blaster and double blade are their favorites. Really goes to show that the stances are very balanced and there really isn’t just one that is superior.
Dual blade really takes off once you get the air move and the better the get with it the better it becomes. Particularly strong against bounty hunter who like to keep their distance and shoot a lot. It absolutely turns them into a ground beef.
My favorite stance to pair with it is the blaster stance. Because the catch with blaster stance is combing the blaster with your normal combos and even being able to jump and move while you do it in order to keep good positioning. Since dual blade stance has such short range I prefer blaster stance on enemies that like to move a lot or when there are a lot of ranged enemies around. Blaster gets better with an upgrade that let's you do a stun blast plus it pairs insanely well with the lift skill+quick shot hitting multiple enemies at once.
I also l personally love using the perk that gives more damage shortly after switching stances. Very high skill ceiling as if you can chain the stances right your combos can feel never ending.
I don’t know how but this guy somehow put all the stances in the exact wrong places for me
I use double blade a lot bc it feeds into my fantasy of being a double blade Jedi
Also dark Maul.
Blaster stance can be used to take out enemies extremely fast and interrupt most enemies attacks with the blaster or you can use the blaster during enemies red attacks instead of waiting for it to end so the low damage isn't a problem if keep up that aggressive pressure and constantly keep fishing out damage
You just wait to get in close to actually attack when you could have killed most of the enemies before you got to then and rushed down the rest of them and they'd already be low of health
I used blaster and double for my first playthrough. Blaster I used for the majority of the game, and double was my defense for mini guns and drodikas and to easily kill lots of small animals at once. For ng+ I'm using twin blades and crossguard at my main, however I really hate crossguard it's just so damn slow and im only using it because it looks badass. Single blade is genuinely great but I don't think it's wise to actually equip it because slow mode forces single blade once you unlock the darkness mode, so if you use two different stances you basically get 3 stances.
I also personally played my first playthrough on master, I wanted to do grandmaster, but the parry time is just non existent, so for ng+ I'm doing master with warrior and purity (harder encounters and major increase to Damage given and taken), this way it plays more like star wars ghost of tsushima on lethal+
Cal's hair and beard style reminds me of Ben Stiller's character from dodgeball
Blaster stance is all about the charged shot into lunge. I think most people's mistake is spamming the basic shot.
Once you combine the ambidextrous perk with the guard breaking perk, your charged shot into lunge will break the poise of almost anything in the game.
Outside of the force tear, and the introduction mission I dont think i used single blade not even once lol
the blaster stance is the best stance, but only for utility. The charge stuns a lot of bosses, it's incredibly useful. If it doesn't stun, it's good for easy chip damage. It can clear 1 shot mobs at range extremely easily too. I think it's a must have, though your concerns about dmg is valid, which is why it's only good when used simultaneously with another stance. The synergy of this stance works with any main stance. Think of it as a secondary. Just my thoughts
Dual blade is my favorite, I find it to be the easiest for defense, and I'd argue it has the best upgrade path. Crossguard is a close second for obvious reasons and design, though I think it could use far better upgrades.
The blaster stance is great because you can parry enemy heavy attacks with it, you can bugs bunny meme enemies
Blaster stance is easily the best if you just use it right. When fighting up close, shoot between each hit and you do tons of damage. I pair with double bladed because its blaster bolt reflection is good against large groups of ranged enemies.
Once I unlocked Costco, that’s all I use for the rest of the game and I slaughtered all of my foes
I agree. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Single Blade Force build is the way to go.
Too bad you cant put away the blaster to focus on fencing/Makashi and then bring it out when you want to use it. I think they should expand on it in 3
Just clicked the thumb 'cause I wanted to see this Chuck Norris mod for the game
Blaster & Dual Wield. Wicked Fast. I feel like a Mandalorian Jedi.
Taking guesses as to which type of lightsaber is gonna be in the next game. My guess: the lightsaber pike. Man it would be so cool to be wielding a regular lightsaber, and then Cal just reaches into his pocket and pulls out a 3ft hilt, slaps it onto the lightsaber and just start poking everybody😂
I've seen a ton of lists and while most place dual wield near top, every other stance is in wildly different positions.
Hey AZHY!
hey
Great vid btw you can force pull shields away from enemies
I like to pair dual wield and double blade and cross guard and blaster.
Bonus entry: embrace the darkness, op as fuck. Nuff said 😂
Double bladed is my favorite, the damage is one of the highest when all hits connect
I feel like your low ranking of blaster comes from not understanding how to use it. It’s not my favourite either but watching your gameplay it looks like you were just mashing the saber combo while occasionally shooting for range. Once you realize that shooting the blaster actually cancels the animation of the first few saber swings you can weave the blaster shots between each swing. So swing shoot swing shoot swing shoot combo finisher. Pair this with the two perk slots that both directly increase blaster damage and blaster saber damage plus the utility of a stun blast or ricochet and I’ve found blaster stance to be the highest single target DPS stance in the game.
Same haven’t used blaster stance too often i think its just all a matter of getting good with it and mastering it personally i’ve used the crossguard and double blade stances more but thought about switching out one of the 2 for blaster stance for better versatility
Dual wield and claymore are my favorites!
I find it difficult to decide which ones i like best, since it also comes down to my skill level (average at best) i die a lot playing on master. 😅
He really put my top 3 stances at the bottom….
I enjoyed most of the stances, I just wish they let use use three at once instead of two. The game just felt so limiting at certain points, and it kinda got on my nerves.
In spite of that, I loved the game. Cal, Merrin, Greeze and Momma Cere just being awesome as usual.
i do too panic smash buttons like crazy, it´s something i learned from old videogames and i cannot change it. XD Also that´s why too i use the dual blades, but i would prefer they fix balance, dealing a bit more dmg or resistance at least. The blaster mode is only good if you can block it doing a parry and having the force hability. But haven´t tried because is frustrating, and for bosses is kinda stupid, i would prefer to have invisibility tech like other bosses have or a jump rocket jacket or i don´t know, is more nostalgia than other stuff, it would be better if they do like other jedi old games when you can use bigger blasters like the clasic and using too the lightsaber.
Head band making him look like a baby Chuck Norris!
Totally disagree about the double bladed stance. It's proven to be incredibly useful once you unlock the right moves for it. My main use for it is crowd control and since I've so far gotten attacked by groups of enemies several times that's a handy weapon to have.
Omg I've literally already got 24 hours on the game, I feel like the double sabre would have been better with some longer moves, it doesn't feel like I'm doing enough damage to their block and then I'm being punished
Use the charge shot on the blaster for damage lol
Honestly people just need to wait and play the game alot more before ranking all the stances
Because BLASTER IS LITERALLY AMAZING!, EXTREMELY SLEPT ON STANCE
Damn I woulda bought it if they had backhand maybe I just want another star killer game
Canceling your attacks with dual wielding is pretty overpowered, I feel like I do better with two lightsabers but I def feel cooler with the slow claymore
For me the stances are the opposite, Double-bladed is great for attacking groups while maintaining speed and being able to deflect all incoming blaster fire.
I am using blaster stance as a 2nd atm, because it is something new. Before that I used dual-sabers, because the damage output vs a single-opponent is really good.
The crossguard stance makes no sense to me, both lore-wise and play-wise.Lore-wise It is too slow to be considered a Jedi-Weapon, and the weight of the lightsaber doesn't change,
only the length of the blade, so it should not be slower. For gameplay, I haven't used it that much because I didn't like the feel of it, but I hope it has some kind of whirlwind-spin move, or else the combat makes no sense either.
I would rather have seen a small shield, like the mandalarions use, instead of the crossguard stance.
The crossguard itself is cool though.
rn ive played through about 95% of the game and is liking blaster the best by a mile, its so fast which makes it easier to dodge and it has many variations, the only downside i think is croudcontroll, otherwise i recommend it fully
For me the list is quite different, dual wield is the weakest for me, then single, blaster, double blade, crossguard, I play on Jedi Master
Sleeping on blaster heavily
Crossguard is pretty cool for me, has more damage and makes me feel like I'm kylo ren lol
Duel weild has a signficantly less stragering effect then double-blade. As a result Double-blade is actually the most oprressvie form in the game. This became extremely aparent when I had to do the watch tower on Koboh for a second time due to the game not registering it as being complted. I did it once as duel weild and then a second time as double-blade the difrence in the fight due to the animations not allowing the enemy to attack at all made duel weild look like a joke. They should have swapped the stagger times.
Double blade is best for reflecting enemy’s that can shoot multiple shots at once. Overall I prefer it over the blaster stance
bro this guy is like: "crossguard is the best because it does the most damage".
i would like it to cut to him being interupted mid swing 90% of the time lategame
Have to disagree. Blaster is by far the best in my opinion. It even makes the game piss ez on highest difficulty. I found out that it gets to the next lvl when unlocking the air dash. Ziping around poking enemies and shooting others when using the stun ability is so good.
Love seeing other stuff that's not dead by daylight
Damn his fave is the slow and powerful one. Kinda like dbd, cooldowns long, and you two shot people
As for the Blaster Stance. You can get an upgrade for your charged shot from Caij in Pyloon’s
There are 3 upgrades. One that adds splash damage to the regular attack, one I… can’t actually remember off the top of my head. And one that acts like a stun grenade, can stun a tonne of enemies if they’re all grouped. I hadn’t really touched the blaster stance until I completed the story. But my god does it feel super satisfying to use. I love the fencing style/keeping enemies at arms length can be very useful, especially for big enemies (looking at you Rancor)
Though hands down crossguard is my favourite overall. Often run Crossguard and Blaster. Use the blaster to wipe out pesky ranged enemies/weave in Damage while people are swinging at me. And crossguard to mop up the heavy hitters
i leigt use dual 99% of the time and have double for aoe and blaster the other 3 dont feel good to me
Is this the first non-horror game covered on the channel. I think it is
Overwatch was I guess
@@AZHYMOVS oh wait you did a video on overwatch? Never mind then I must have missed that upload
LMAO NO WAY my list is literally the complete OPPOSITE order just swap blaster for crossgaurd.
Well, I think that single bladed is the worst one simply bc I'm tired of it lol
Be serious the double bladed is very good in all enemies for me it is the best light saber
I wish I could play this game lol, I have like 6 fps
Yea the frame dropping is a big issue I hope you can play it some day though because it's great
Wow id almost flip this list upside down i couldnt disagree more lol. I think this is all opinion based though so its all good!
This was more a personal review than overall😂 Double blade is not the same as Fallen Order.. also you never talk about the abilities on the Double blade.. the low damage really doesn't matter because of how many hits you get in rapid succession.. I killed the Oggdo with Double Blades.. and the challenge with both frogs...doubt you doing that with single blade😂
Yeah bro! We want these rankings. Do something with hogwarts legacy too. "sll spells in hogwarts legacy ranked worst to least". We'd all watch it bro
lol this guy isn’t very good.. his lowest ranked stances are two of the best stances blaster stance is great for enemies at a distance, then when they’re up close the saber tears apart dudes refilling your ammo in the process and petty firing the pistol is also sick. Then the doubled blades saber not only is good for Defence and crowd control but with the cyclone and spinning moves you can tear apart bosses and strong enemies. They’re a great combo together
Its called having a preference
Double bladed last??? Your using it wrong lol
I think you’re just trash with double bladed, that thing melts enemies
I don't care about how it plays, I care about aesthetic.
Clearly I know how to play games correctly.
Here's how I would compare the lightsaber stances to various medieval weapons and fighting styles:
Split Saber: Dual Swords
Double Saber: Pole Arm (Spear, Pike, Halberd, etc.)
Single Saber: Longsword
Cross Guard: Claymore or Greatsword (Heavy two handed sword)
bro is onto nothing
The blaster stance is not weak it shreds through everything boss in the game except the scorpion monster and it's gold variant
imagine calling the blaster stance the weakest lmao
entire video is invalid
Yup
Critics Saber stances......then proceeds to show absolutely garbage skill gameplay. With skills like that dude must work for ign
