Exospines are incredibly useful in Stellar Blade as they can add buffs and passive effects to your build, making Eve stronger overall. Here are all Exospines in Stellar Blade, ranked.
While each Exospine can be useful for a specific playstyle, some make a massive difference in combat performance. From worst to best, here are the best Exospines in Stellar Blade.
The Grenadier-Type Exospine sounds good on paper, increasing the overall effectiveness of consumables such as shock grenades. But the thing is, consumables are already strong enough to begin with. Also, you won’t find yourself using them all the time as they are only really useful to stun a boss in times of struggle. It’s not worth having this Exospine taking up one of the two available slots.
The Camoufalge-Type Exospine is great for players who want to explore the open area of the desert without the hassle of engaging in every fight. It decreases the enemies’ field of view, making it harder for them to spot you and start a battle. Level 2 and Level 3 on the other hand focus on executions, which only really works with a specific playstyle.
Burst skills are the strongest attacks in Stellar Blade by default, dealing high damage, stunning the enemy, and providing great AOE. Some players may want to become overpowered and make their Burst skills even stronger by equipping the Burst-Trance-Type Exospine, but in my opinion, it’s a waste of a spot. Burst skills don’t need a buff. Still, it can help turn the game into easy mode.
In Stellar Blade, each enemy has a shield that must be destroyed first before the player deals damage to its actual health bar. The Suppression-Type Exospine can destroy the shield faster since its level 1 buff provides an 18% Shield Penetration increase. Additionally, you can expect to deal more damage to downed enemies with this Exospine. This is a solid choice.
I didn’t find myself using the gun much in Stellar Blade and I thought it was pointless until I reached the mandatory gun levels. You absolutely need your gun at some points in the game. The Eagle Eye-Type Exospine increases your ranged attack power and max ammo, making Eve into a deadly machine gun. You’ll be thankful for this Exospine towards the end of the game.
Stellar Blade is all about mastering the dodge and parry system, but it can be really hard to do so. The Reflex-Type Exospine makes these combat systems much easier to use. The window for a “perfect dodge” and “perfect parry” will increase, increasing your survivability in combat.
The combos you can pull off in Stellar Blade are pretty incredible and you’ll be showing them off throughout your entire playthrough. The Chain-Type Exospine is one of the most valuable Exospines in the game as it increases attack power of combo attacks and your critical damage. In other words, Eve is just stronger all around without the use of Beta or Burst skills.
Players will constantly be using potions in Stellar Blade, especially during the game’s challenging boss fights. The Recovery-Type Exospine makes all your potions much stronger and even adds passive effects. For example, using potions will decrease the amount of damage you take for a while after you use them. It will also recover Beta Energy when a potion is used.
An Exospine that adds more to your combat toolset is rare, so the Impact-Type Exospine is a great choice. Not only does this Exospine increase Critical Rate, but it also adds an effect to Eve’s combat called “chained damage” which unleashes energy to nearby enemies. This is very helpful with crowd control.
What’s better than taking less damage? The Protection-Type Exospine does exactly that, decreasing the amount of damage you take when getting hit by enemies. There’s also an added bonus of higher shield protection, making it so you have more health overall. I highly recommend equipping this Exospine as soon as possible.
Beta skills are the main way to stun and deal high damage to enemies in Stellar Blade. You will be using them constantly, so this is why the Beta Trance-Type Exospine is the absolute best in the game. Simply put, it speeds up how fast your Beta energy bar fills, the attack power of all beta skills, and adds a new “Trance” mode. When you enter Trance, you won’t consume any Beta energy.
Now that you understand which Exospines are the best in Stellar Blade, it’s time to learn how to make the best Eve build. Head over to our Eve build guide that details the best gear and skills to equip.
