CS Guide: Lightsaber Forms
|
Use in the Character Sheets
Upon reaching the rank of Protector, members gain access to their first Lightsaber Form: Banlanth. It is not until Dark Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight where a member will gain access to the Core Forms. Furthermore, Dark Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight’s 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.

Banlanth is the basic training form of the Dark Brotherhood, comprised of basic attacks and defensive movements.

Brutal and deceptively direct, this most ancient lightsaber form is a favorite of those who prefer a more direct solution to combat.
Form II: Makashi
Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight
Elegant and svelte, the "Duelist's Form" focuses definitively on saber on saber combat.
Form III: Soresu

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.
Form IV: Ataru
Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight
Ataru is known for overwhelming aggressive barrages and wildly kinetic positioning.
Form V: Djem So
Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight
Aggression used in defense, Djem So seeks to use an opponent’s own weapons against them.
Form VI: 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.
Form VII: Juyo
Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Jedi Knight/Jedi Knight
Purely virulent, Juyo chains raw aggression into brutally acrobatic attacks.
Advanced Forms
Jar'Kai
Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Side Adept/Force Adept
Blindingly quick, those who master the two sabers of Jar'Kai Niman can unleash flurries of precise strikes.
Vapaad
Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Side Adept/Force Adept
Teetering on the edge of malevolence, Vaapad uses emotion as fuel for its unpredictability.
Trakata
Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Equite 2
Unpredictable and abrupt, Trakata is reviled by those uncomfortable with its murderous style.
Lus Ma
Prerequisites: Mimimum rank of Dark Jedi Master/Jedi Master
Once thought lost, this devastatingly offensive style is known only to the most dedicated and powerful.
Shien
Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Equite 2
The reverse grip, violent strikes, and diverse weapons of Shien lends itself well to the more warlike users.
Sokan
Prerequisites: Minimum rank of Dark Side Adept/Force Adept
Maddeningly dynamic, this acrobatic throwback to ancient times uses unorthodox angles of attack and impassable defense.
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.
Praetoria Twins
Prerequisites: Minimum rank of GMRG Rank VI/Fictional Society Rank VI
