Star Wars Jedi Survivor Best Skills: The Survival Skills can be seen

Survival Skills

The Survival Skills, all three tiers of them should be some of your first upgrades in the game. There is a reason they are the best skills in Star Wars Jedi Survivor – that is because they increase Cal’s health. What more could you want, especially if you are on a tougher Star Wars Jedi Survivor difficulty level?

Star Wars Jedi Survivor Best Skills: The Stim Formula skill can be seen

Improved and Perfected Stim Formula

The Improved and Perfected Stim Formula are some of the top skills you can get early in the game. They allow Cal to heal more from each Stim he uses, prolonging your life and ensuring you can survive much longer. You can find more of these throughout the game, so be sure to check out all the Star Wars Jedi Survivor Stim locations.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor Best Skills: The Dash Strike skill can be seen

Dash Strike

Dash Strike is an advanced move for your single Lightsaber stance. But, that means it is really effective, allowing you to dodge out of the way and then jump close to enemies you wouldn’t normally be able to attack. It gives Cal some much needed mobility and you’d be silly not to buy it.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor Best Skills: The Precision Skills can be seen

Precision Release

Precision Release is for the Dual Wield stance, which is one of the best stances in Star Wars Jedi Survivor. This will allow you to release the automatic parry button in the stance at the right time to perform an enhanced, devastating combo that can dramatically weaken your opponents and stun them.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor Best Skills: The attunement skills can be seen

Attunement Skills

A lot like the Survival skills, Attunement Skills in Star Wars Jedi Survivor increase Cal’s maximum Force, which means in combat and out of it he can perform more force moves to keep enemies guessing and utilise their weapons and the environment against them.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor Best Skills: The Hold skills are seen

Hold skills

Our penultimate best skill is the selection of Hold skills in the Jedi Concentration tree. These extend the time of Cal’s slow ability, which is one of his most useful tools to either escape danger, or catch up to a foe and dispatch them if they are particularly problematic in a larger group.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor Best Skills: The Greater Reflexes skill is seen

Greater Reflexes

Finally, on this list, we have Greater Reflexes. Quite a deep upgrade in the Resilience tree. This will allow Cal’s block meter to regenerate faster, which is a great bonus, especially when fighting tougher enemies in the game or taking on multiple foes at once.

That covers the best skills in Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Despite a pretty long list, around a half a dozen really stand out and are worth prioritising right from the get-go. While you are playing and upgrading Cal, you can also increase health in Star Wars Jedi Survivor in a number of ways, alongside increasing your Force in Star Wars Jedi Survivor too, beyond just these skills.
