Mastering the Crossguard Stance
The Crossguard stance is the slowest but most damaging of all the lightsaber stances in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. It requires a solid grasp of timing to use effectively, as each hit has a significant wind-up animation that leaves you vulnerable. However, the Crossguard stance can deal massive damage in a single blow when used correctly.
To use the Crossguard stance effectively:
- Invest in the Crossguard skill tree to gain extra range, speed, and crowd control potential.
