best lightsaber stance

[Kirilla]

the best one is double sided lightsaber. Each strike staggers the enemy and i think does more strikes than dual saber (even though game says dual lightsabers has the best speed)

[Leslian Lexter]

Blasterstance is #1

[Derivat949]

Crossguard is based

Cross guard is like playing A souls game with a 500lb sledge hammer. I'd like to see a video of the droid tear and someone beating it on jedi master or higher without using force push. Dual wield all the way!

Single blade.

I typically don't like the big heavy melee weapons in games, but the crossguard stance does it for me in Jedi Survivor. I also put skill points into resilience skills for improved health and better stims in the survival tree. Force attunement skills in the concentration tree for more force, and the mind control ones for controlling more humanoids and the bigger beasts in the confusion tree. All around I am pretty tanky and the crossguard saber can chunk away the block bar on tougher enemies pretty fast.

Crossguard is my favorite stance so far and then the dual blade followed by the double blade for larger crowds is nice as well. I tried the blaster stance for a bit, but it wasn't doing it for me.

Edit: It should be noted that I play on the default normal jedi knight difficulty and have no idea how good my build would fare on the harder settings.

Blaster Stance with Marksman and Ambidexterity perks is ridiculously powerful.
Crossguard hits hard, but is so slow that it easily gets overwhelmed by multiple enemies.
Double-bladed and Dual Wield are both great and felt good to play.
Single blade seems generic (and it is) but it works as advertised, a well rounded weapon that is good in any situation.

Overall, if you only had one stance, Blaster is probably the strongest. You could beat the game with any stance, but Crossguard would be the most challenging without having a backup weapon to fall back on when you're heavily outnumbered.

I personally went Blaster/Dual Blades.

I like it when my Jedi uses Gun to defeat Stormtroopers; I like to think some of them are going "wait that's cheating" when I blast them from a cliff top. Some of the beast enemies are also way easier to deal with the liberal application of Gun. And I used dual blades as my second stance because of the raw speed you get.

I tried the other stances, but I've always been a Speed > Power person, so Crossguard didn't gel with me. I also like the single blade stance a lot, but Gun was still more fun - and different. And although Double-bladed was supposed to be good for hordes, with a few upgrades, dual blades was just as good - ricocheting sabers are amazing at mowing down hordes. About the only thing the saberstaff stance had going for it was the ability to return volleys of gun fire rather than single bolts.

For blaster defense, I prefer double-bladed since, with the appropriate skill, you can redirect blaster bolts at multiple enemies. Double-bladed is also best for large groups of enemies. I also like double-bladed when fighting boss enemies since I think it's faster than a single blade, allowing you to get in multiple hits in a short time frame, although dual-wield might be just as effective in that regard.

When exploring wide open areas, I prefer to use a blaster, attacking enemies with it at distance before using my lightsaber when they close in to melee range.

For me, my fav stance was Dual Wield. A great all round tree and in games like this a good offense is the best way to beat a boss, just keep on the pressure.

My second saber was cross guard, with the charged reflection perk this was tons better than the saber staff. In combat it did require using vulnerability windows as its so slow but the combination of these two got me through the whole game on master.

Just starting my NG+ now and have switched to blaster and the staff, going to play on Grand Master from this point on and will master them or die ( a lot ) trying :)

[LazyAmerican]

single blade is best...in a game where timing is king it's the easier to attack and block/dodge with. Blaster stance technically might be better but I simply have no interest in blasters as a jedi.

[LoveTruffle]

Dual Wield is pretty good for being able to cancel your attacks to block mid swing. Crossguard is probably "the best" once you master it and I'd also argue it's the best to learn how to play a souls-like game since you really have to have your timing down, but when you do it's a beast.

I usually played with Dual Wield and Blaster though. It's satisfying shooting people who are near dead, but still ready to go a few more exchanges with your saber.

[Dessolos]

I dont think there is a "best stance" i find them all good in their own way but here is my take on the stances

Blaster saber feels kinda op at times when fighting tougher enemies especially the frog boss since the charged shot can stun the frog boss or just interrupted other enemies red attacks

Crossguard blaster skill deflect is so good especially cause the saber already does alot of damage

Single saber i find the skills easier to pull off and not get interrupted in combat overall really balanced

DW parry king + speed ftw don't like the skills other than the deflect and i guess throw

staff moves are flashy but tough to pull off without getting interrupted however it is still really good tho i personally think it's the worst one unless you are fighting alot of easy to kill enemies. However i found VS alot of enemies DW worked just as well or better at times especially with the upgraded deflect. To me this one just doesnt feel as good as the rest when it's just a few enemies. Tho id still use for it's cool factor.

[FuiyohMSG]

I always had Double blade and changed my secondary between Blaster and Dual but it in the end i felt dual was the best against Daren and most bosses, and double for everything else.

[Railgun]

Blaster is literally OP with bouncing bullet for multiple ennemies and very good far engage for safe hit vs animals. My best second choice is cross guard, stagger stagger stagger stagger... vs solo ennemies it's too strong and hit hard.
