Burst Skills require using Blink, Repulse or executing Perfect Dodges, compared to Beta Skills charged by damaging enemies
Shift Up’s previous trailer for Stellar Blade highlighted the Beta Skills that Eve could unleash on the Naytiba, but the latest showcases Burst Skills. These are even stronger abilities that require Burst Energy but unleash even more devastating (and impossibly stylish) attacks.
While you get energy for Beta Skills by dealing damage, Burst Skill energy comes from using abilities like Blink and Repulse. Perhaps the best way to build them up is with Perfect Dodge, which also must be unlocked in the skill tree. It’s worth picking up, especially if you’re not confident in your parry skills.
Stellar Blade launches on April 26th for PS5, retailing for $70.
