Do some of Eve’s attacks remind you of similar Combat Arts like Mortal Draw, Ashina Cross or others from Sekiro? Well, the ones you use in Stellar Blade are Beta Skills. You can use them to deal more damage than you normally would with regular attacks. They are also useful for breaking their attack chains or combos. You can’t just spam them though, as they require energy to be used. So here’s a quick guide on how to use them, recharge that energy and the skills to replenish them quickly.
Stellar Blade All Beta Skills Tested – Highest Damage Best Beta Skills to Use
To use Beta Skills, you need to press L1 and then press the button of the equipped skill you want to use when you have enough Beta Energy. For example, if you want to use Slash, you can press L1 (Block) and then Triangle.
You can even charge up some of the Beta Skills to make them more powerful. To do this, you have to hold down the skill buttons. So if you want to use a more powerful variant of Slash, hold down L1 along with Triangle. When you release them, Eve will use a charged up and more powerful variant of Slash.
The best way to charge up Beta Energy early in the game is to use Perfect Parry. When done correctly, it will fill two smaller boxes of Beta Energy, represented by BE, above Eve's HP bar.
