The FIVE Lightsaber Combat Stances in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - New Details

Ойын-сауық

This morning Game Informer released a new interview with Star Wars Jedi Survivor game director Stig Asmussen. In it, he provided more details on the new lightsaber fighting stances Cal Kestis will get to use. Each will provide a unique combat advantage for certain situations. The first is the standard, single blade stance from Fallen Order, which is seen throughout the trailer. I expect the double blade stance will also return, which was better against groups of enemies. The separated, dual blade stance is new to Survivor, seemingly favoring speed over power. The article confirms the blaster and lightsaber combination, which adds some range to the player’s arsenal, and Asmussen comments on how it speaks to Cal’s characterization as an unconventional Jedi in unconventional times, using techniques the Jedi Order would have frowned upon. Finally, we have the crossguard stance, which favors power over speed. Asmussen says it’s weighty and the timing windows are longer, so you have to be careful how you use it.

    With all of these combat stances and ability to switch between his weapon’s configurations, I think Cal would stand as an excellent example of a combat-oriented Form VI Niman specialist much like Exar Kun.

    My fellow Jedi Master, while I concur that Cal is a specialist in Form VI Niman, his technique and bladework is far less refined than that of Exar Kun or our Battlemaster forebears such as Kao Cen Dratach. His mindset is an exemplar of of the Form's emphasis on balance and adaptability.

    We have seen a saber-blaster before, actually. Ezra Bridger made one in Star wars: Rebels, and it's honestly one of my favorite sabers in star wars because of the way he used it, or, more specifically, how Kanan used Ezra's lightsaber in his final duel with the Grand Inquisitor when he thought Ezra was dead. I hope it's something like that!
