Best Lightsaber Perks in Star Wars Jedi Survivor¶

Our approach here is that the Fortitude perk is the best perk in Star Wars Jed Survivor for this stance. The reason why is because the Light Saber is the most generic one, having the most average range, speed, damage and defense in the game. So, you can opt to specialize it to one particular force move you like for it, or, you can just go generic damage improvement, and not feel the negatives of this perk thanks to some very good defense, range, and speed stats.

Alternatively, you can opt for perks like these instead.

These skills will offer better protection against destroying bosses, or the more sturdy battle droids that the Imperials and Raiders share. Or the more advanced melee units like the Purge Troopers.

Best Dual Wield Perks in Star Wars Jedi Survivor¶

When you have four perk slots, you can take both of these level 2 costing perks. The idea behind this playstyle is that you can use your very fast tracks and flurry of attacks to deal lots of minor damage very fast, which will wrack up easily against an enemy hp bar or stamina meter. Due to the lots of very fast attacks, you can easily diminish a stamina bar, especially if you manage to get the extended Special spin attack off or use the extended light attack combo for an even bigger flurry attack.

Also, one of the benefits of the Dual Wield is that the later game skills allow you to throw both lightsabers at a target. Landing both lightsabers can easily burst a more elite enemy type, which makes killing those harder-to-beat enemies much easier for a relatively small amount of force-spent-to-damage ratio.

Best Double-Bladed Perks in Star Wars Jedi Survivor¶

The Double Bladed Light Saber is a very good AOE weapon, with weaker damage, but solid speed and group encounter destruction. The most ideal situation is to use your skills like the Rising Storm to en-masse nearby enemies below you, ready for some of your spinny ape attacks.

So, to really support that rash destruction playstyle, especially on enemies that are more senior than the basic Battle Droids or feeble-minded Stormtroopers, you will want more damage to burst them. This is why these are the best Star Wars Jedi Survivor Perks for the Double-Bladed Lightsaber.

Best Blaster Perks in Star Wars Jedi Survivor¶

The general idea behind this playstyle is that the player will run out of ammo more often in fights, meaning you will need to use your lightsaber to get ammo back. So, when you spend ammo, you increase your lightsaber damage, this will make your bossing easier in this stance, along with mopping up lower HP enemies with your lightsaber. It also lets you weave your bullets into a lightsaber and play a hybrid range and melee playstyle much easier.

Then, you tale Unflinching, which allows you a free hit with your blaster, which is handy in case you do get and then chain combo’d by your electric staff-wielding trooper, or magma droids get a grip of you.

• Honorable mention: Marksman Perk: This allows you to increase your blaster damage, so, if you like sniping more elite units, like the orange shoulder guard stormtroopers, or picking off annoying droids for BD to hack later on in the story, this will work better for that strategy.

Best Crossguard Perks in Star Wars Jedi Survivor¶

The playstyle that the Crossguard offers is a very, slow, paced, yet tanky playstyle, with lots of burst damage on their slower, yet heavier swings. In addition, this playstyle comes with the highest defense stance in the game. So, you don’t need to really buff the playstyle all too much.

However, what you will notice is that the Crossguard’s aerial special move sends forth a very strong stamina-destroying blast wave, and the held basic attack also deals high damage and stamina destruction. So, the Equilibrium perk is generally really good for nuking stamina, and an enemy’s HP bar, especially when you use Force.

Also, if you like this high-force spending stamina nuking playstyle, you can take Flux. This will allow you to regenerate your Force meter over time, which is handy for returning to the Crossguard to nuke stamina on a boss or another very strong melee character for those very exposed moments.

• Honorable Mentions: If you prefer a build that is more upfront with the damage you deal with, you can use these perks instead. This makes you a proper monster when it comes to utilizing that high defense, and calculating your parry windows to destroy someone’s guard and then destroy their health bar. Again, the Crossguard is all about proper timings thanks to its slow attacks, so, the high defense allows you to time those retaliation windows, hence why these perks work just as well.

Best Perks for Harder Difficulties¶

The general purpose of this perk setup is to offer the player better sustain during the harder encounters of the game. Taking these perks will offer better health regeneration, you’re going to need it if you take even the slightest hit. Take too many hits in a sequence between the meditation spots to rest, and you may actually straight up die. You won’t need these on lower difficulties, but on the max difficulty, these perks will come in handy when you’re trying new encounters out and want some safety and reassurance until you learn attack patterns, allowing you to swap back to preferred weapon stance perks rather than use these.

This is very good if you need the extra stim and you’re struggling in the main story progression, especially on more gauntlet areas of the mission after you’ve done the research Tanalorr sessions of the map. It’s also very good if you missed some of the early game stim upgrade locations, like the ones on Coruscant and Basalt Forest on Koboh.

Best Jedi Survivor Perks for Force Skills¶

If you want to be more of a mage character, utilizing those Jedi mind tricks to your advantage, then you may consider buffing your confusion spells.

Due to the limited nature of pure force upgrades, and Perplexity being a two-cost, you are sort of forced to take Persistence as the second. It should make you tankier in close range, while also allowing your mind-controlled target to do more damage and take more enemies out.

This concludes the best perks in star wars Jedi Survivor. Hopefully, you now have a few build ideas in mind for those stances you like to use. If there’s a particular combo you like to use, then feel free to let us know in the comments.
