Lightsaber Combat

Use in the Character Sheets

Upon reaching the rank of Protector, members gain access to their first Lightsaber Form: Form Zero. It is not until Dark Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight where a member will gain access to the Core Forms. Furthermore, Equites also have access to a secondary lightsaber form.

While the Lightsaber Guide is under construction, this page has been designed as a quick reference to each form's prerequisite rank. Please note that the Guide is still in progress and as such any information presented here is subject to change.

Basic Form

Form Zero

Prerequisite: Minimum rank of Protector

Form Zero is the basic training form of the Dark Brotherhood, compromised of basic attacks and defensive movements.

Core Forms

Shii-Cho

Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight

Brutal and deceptively direct, this most ancient lightsaber form is a favorite of those who prefer a more direct solution to combat.

Makashi

Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight

Elegant and svelte, the "Duelist's Form" focuses definitively on saber on saber combat.

Soresu

Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight

Quick and reflexive, Soresu's defenses are intensely effective and is often referred to as the reason so many jedi survived as long as they did.

Ataru

Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight

Ataru is known for overwhelming aggressive barrages and wildly kinetic positioning.

Djem So

Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight

Aggression used in defense, Djem So seeks to use an opponents own weapons against them.

Niman

Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight

Diversity in defense and offense, Niman uses maneuvers from many forms in striving for perfection.

Advanced Forms

Vapaad

Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Equite 2

Teetering on the edge of malevolence, Vaapad uses emotion as fuel for its unpredictability.

Dun Moch

Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Equite 2

Using vulgar displays of the Force in tandem with the saber, Dun Moch users seeks to dominate the spirit.

Elite Forms

Shien

Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Equite 3

The reverse grip, violent strikes, and diverse weapons of Shien lends itself well to the more warlike users.

Jar'Kai Niman

Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Equite 3

Blindingly quick, those who master the two sabers of Jar'Kai Niman can unleash flurries of precise strikes.

Sokan

Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Equite 3

Maddeningly dynamic, this acrobatic throwback to ancient times uses unorthodox angles of attack and impassable defense.

Juyo

Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Equite 3

Purely virulent, Juyo chains raw aggression into brutally acrobatic attacks.

Elder Forms

Trakata

Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Side Adept/Force Adept

Unpredictable and abrupt, Trakata is reviled by those uncomfortable with its murderous style.
