In the galaxy where Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes place, the pursuit of balance is an important one. After all, with both the Dark and Light side of the Force capable of impressive feats, it may leave some wondering just how to resist the temptation from the other side. The hero that is Cal Kestis will undergo a similar journey of sorts and come face to face with the many threats of the Empire.
Faced with such odds, it is no surprise that the Jedi Knight is well-versed in the art of lightsaber combat. Blessed with the learnings of various stances, it is perhaps most fitting that the most balanced one of them all is a good choice for all situations. Players hoping to have an accessible approach to combat will do well to absorb all the knowledge in this guide to all the Single Lightsaber Stance skills in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
Single Lightsaber Stance in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
As the beginning stance that players start with, the Single lightsaber stance still retains plenty of use down the road since it is good for all aspects of combat, including power, speed, range, and defense. By not over-committing to one area, it allows Cal to be equally adept at everything and a good starting point for all players against the might of the Galactic Empire.
