Shift Up’s action-adventure game, originally released exclusively for PS5, is finally available for PC. In our Stellar Blade tips and tricks, you’ll learn how combat works, how to manage your skill trees, and how to reclaim Earth from the Naytiba.

1) Use the scanner

The scanner is an essential gadget in Stellar Blade that Eve should use repeatedly. With the push of a button, your flying drone emits a pulse that reveals the unique features of the environment. These include enemies, of course, as well as corpses, chests, and other interactive objects. This allows you to obtain upgrades, such as new cores, as well as codes for doors and treasure chests.

Without the scanner, useful loot can easily be overlooked. Additionally, the Naytibas often hide around corners and can surprise you if you run straight into them. Additionally, your drone can be upgraded over time to become more powerful.

2) Combat Tips

We’ve compiled a list of helpful Stellar Blade beginner tips for the combat system. If you follow them, you should find challenging battles much easier.

  • Keep your enemies at bay with sprints. This will help you keep track of what’s going on and give you a chance to heal.
  • Button mashing won’t get you anywhere. Learn to counter your enemies’ attack patterns and adapt your strategy to each enemy individually.
  • The combos require precise timing. If you wait too long between inputs, the next one will be counted as the start of a new combo.
  • With some attacks, you can transition directly into a block or parry after executing them.
  • A well-timed parry will stagger your opponent. However, be careful because not all attacks can be parried.
  • Fill your BE (Beta Energy) bar to perform powerful retaliatory strikes.
  • First, learn the damage combos, and then try the offensive combos.
  • The Tempest ability makes you invulnerable for a short time. While performing an area attack, you can target groups of enemies without taking damage.
  • Keep boss enemies at bay by stunning them with Blade Fury.
  • Not only can melee attacks be parried, but projectiles can be deflected as well.
  • Use shock grenades to disorient Naytiba, rendering them defenseless. You can also use them to detonate explosive canisters or trigger other environmental interactions.

3) Explore the world in detail

If you only follow the main paths, you’ll miss useful loot and interesting locations. Take the time to explore everything. One of our most basic Stellar Blade tips is to put the main quest on hold and complete a few side missions.

You’ll get upgrades, Nano Suits, and Star Tears, and you’ll discover interesting and fun activities, such as fishing. If you focus only on the core story and complete one main mission after another, you’ll finish the game in about 20 hours. However, by completing side quests and activities, you can extend your gameplay to up to 50 hours.

4) Watch out for fall damage

Falls are surprisingly deadly in Stellar Blade, especially at the beginning. Even seemingly harmless heights can seriously injure Eve or kill her instantly. Therefore, always pay close attention to your surroundings. It’s best to unlock the ability to negate fall damage as early as possible. Once you have this ability, all you have to do is press X on the PS controller or A on the Xbox controller at the right moment, and Eve will elegantly spring to safety.

5) Use the training mode

The game’s combat system is complex, with many combos, timings, and abilities. The Naytibas know no mercy. To practice in a safe environment, use the training mode. Select a specific skill in the skill tree to practice at your leisure. This will allow you to master the skill without frustration.

6) More Stellar Blade tips

Finally, here are a few quick tips to make the game more enjoyable and easier.

  • You can reset your skill trees at any time with an SP initializer. This makes it virtually impossible to mess up.
  • You’ll find background information on the story as well as tips on special chests in the documents and memory sticks that you collect in the world. Don’t ignore these items; take a look at them from time to time.
  • You can test a skill in training mode before deciding on it. You can also try out skills with a lock symbol.
  • Side quests don’t expire. You can complete them later and work towards 100% completion without any problems.
  • In theory, you can start a conversation with any NPC. However, only those with a green, flashing circle above their heads have new and helpful information for you.
  • You don’t have to rest in camps. Benches and chairs in the game world also allow you to recharge your HP.
  • Pay attention to the sounds around you. For instance, if you hear a soft ringing sound, then you are near a collectible item.
