Once you start playingย Stellar Blade, you’ll be inundated with many gameplay details like combos, skills, and upgradeable gear. Unlocking skills plays a core part in improving your build in Stellar Blade.ย Andย there’sย a hefty number of skills across three separate pagesย that you can upgradeย early in the game.ย However, the resources are scarce, and youย need toย focus on which skill you’d need to unlock first.

Ambush

The first skillย that’s super handy to upgrade is the one that allows you to finish off your opponents with one hit inย Stellar Blade.ย The Ambush isย anย Attacking skill, and youย won’t need more than one SP to unlock it.ย Once unlocked,ย you’ll be able toย attack targets from behind whileย unnoticed,ย and finish them off by pressing the Triangle button.

Counter

You’ll learn how to parry the opponent’s attacks right at the beginning of the game. If you block, you’ll still be hit with chip damage. But if you parry, you’ll not lose health, while throwing the opponent off balance. However, there’s a skill in the Survival section called Counter, which allows you to immediately attack after you’ve performed a perfect parry. This is very useful for stopping the foes from continuing their attacks even after you’ve perfectly parried their first strike.

Reflection

Besides the parry, Eve also has the dodging ability. Pressing the circle button right when the opponent wants to hit you with a fatal attack activates the perfect dodge sequence. This is life-saving, but it won’t open the enemy’s guard for attacks. For that, you’d need the Reflection. After a perfect dodge, press and hold the Square button to attack and stun the target after you’ve unlocked the Reflection skill in Stellar Blade.

Double Dodge

You have the dodge right off the bat inย Stellar Blade. What Eve doesn’t know is that she can dodge twice with a skill called the Double Dodge.ย Thisย is a Survival skill inย Stellar Blade, and unlocking it allows you to gain a higher chance of perfectly dodging the opponent’s fatal attack. Combine this skill with Reflection, and slay anyย type ofย Naytiba you face in the game.

Beta Energy Recharge Skills

Eve has some sort of special attacking powers that are charged by an element called Beta. These attacks are performed by the combination of L1 + Square, Circle, X, and Triangle. However, your Beta meter isn’t infinite. It needs to be recharged by attacking enemies. But, if you unlock the Beta Recharge skills in both the Attacking and Survival pages, you’ll always have the upper hand in combat in Stellar Blade.

Remember that you can gain more SP by exploring the areas and fighting the enemies. So don’t just run away from the targets to pass on the story; stand tall, fight back, and kill them to earn SP and unlock more skills in Stellar Blade.

Stellar Blade is currently available to play on PS5.
