[Skywalker_Legacy]

Hello, as a fairly new player to the game, I'd like to know the advantages and disadvantages of a single saber, dual sabers and double bladed.

Don't think that covers against gunners though...
Should add that.

Fear not, in 1.4. the list is going to be fairly simple:

yellow -> used for dueling and against gunners.
red -> used for killing wook in one hit if you can sneak from behind
others -> not used for anything.

Hello, as a fairly new player to the game, I'd like to know the advantages and disadvantages of a single saber, dual sabers and double bladed.

Below are pros and cons of saber styles, they'll pretty much paint you a picture of the strengths of the styles, in a fun manner that is cool for the youngsters.


1.3 in a nutshell (Swingblock to victory)

Cyan (hard counters duals, countered by purple/blue/red):
+ + Excellent for fighting multiple Saberists
+ Skill check against saberists that don't know how to fight it
+ Easy to use
- - Dependent on shadowing and ACM building

Blue (good against everything):
+ + + Best dueling style available if mastered
+ Can shut down an opponent through skillful timing
- - Hard to use
- Weak in open

Duals (decent against everything, hard countered by cyan):
+ High damage for speed
+ Easy to use
+ Can bullshit opponents with command stab/slap.

Staff (counters everything except blue and duals):
+ + + Dat mblock
+ + Dat damage
+ Dat speed
- - - Dat hitbox

Yellow (decent against everything):
+ + Enormous damage, and relatively fast speed
+ If you know how to swing block combos, you gain a huge advantage over those that cannot, and can essentially win through pure spam.
+ Longest reach of any saber style
+ Versatile, good for open and dueling
- It isn't staff (only advantage it has over staff is the enormous reach, which can be quite nice, honestly, especially for open)

Red (hard counters cyan, decent against everything):
+ + + Bullshit
+ + Counter swings
+ + Suddenly makes you unkillable when selected (60% (or was it 70%?) or so damage reduction)
+ Style swap into counter swings
+ Pblock people to death
- Don't swing first against staff

Purple (Counters everything):
+ + + Ultimate bullshit
+ + + Instant ACM in a can
+ + Swingblock combo spamming for the win
+ + W swing speeds up follow up combo hits for some stupid reason
+ Good luck pblocking purple
- Don't swing first against staff


1.4 in a nutshell (bore your enemies to death)

Cyan (countered by yellow):
+ + Excellent for fighting multiple Saberists
+ + Pblock enemies to death
+ + Nudge spam enemies to death
+ Easier to use
- - Takes 10 years to kill skilled opponents with.

Blue (countered by yellow):
+ Still really good
- Not as good
- - Takes 10 years to kill skilled opponents with.

Duals (countered by yellow):
+ + + + + Roflcopter nudge spam from hell. Good luck.
- - - - - Occasional lucky pblocks from opponent ruining your spam-boner.

Staff (countered by everything):
+ + + Dat mblock
- - Dat lack of damage
- - - Dat hitbox

Yellow (The left nut of Wodanaz):
+ + + + Fuck every other style, only yellowers get a place in my patch notes
+ + + Supreme bullshit
+ + + Never worry about opponents with ACM
+ + + Perfect counter your way to victory
+ + + More overpowered than Gaben's chins
+ + + Know how to swingblock? Win.

Red (countered by yellow):
+ + Good counters
+ Good ACM gain (Unless you're fighting yellow, in which case go fuck yourself)
- - Too slow for open without the damage reduction in 1.3

Purple (countered by yellow):
+ + Decent damage
+ + Instant ACM in a can
- - Half swings appear to not work correctly.
