Star Wars Jedi: Survivor features five lightsaber stances: single-bladed, double-bladed, dual-wield, blaster, and crossguard.
Each stance is designed for a different combat situation. The single blade is versatile, the double blade is effective against groups, and dual-wielding emphasizes fast attacks and evasive movement. The blaster stance combines lightsaber attacks with ranged fire, while the crossguard stance delivers heavy damage more slowly.
Although the game contains five stances, Cal can equip only two at a time. Players switch between their selected pair during gameplay, encouraging different loadouts for crowds, tough enemies, and ranged opponents. Each stance also has its own skill tree and upgrades.
The dual-wield stance is sometimes overlooked because Fallen Order used dual lightsabers only for a special move rather than as a fully developed stance. Survivor expanded that idea, while also introducing blaster and crossguard combat as distinct options.
