As players sink their teeth intoStellar Blade, it will soon be clear that it takes more than just fast reflexes to survive the challenge of the Naytiba. As the heroine Eve, players must make sure that their equipment are in the best shape so that they can last the distance and potentially be the savior of Earth.
This means seeking out upgrades for all the tools in Eve’s arsenal. That includes herweapons, herExospines, thegearthat she can equip, as well as thehealing optionsat her disposal. To help players understand just what is required, this guide will contain all the details on just how to upgrade each of the components mentioned above.
All Upgrades in Stellar Blade
As mentioned earlier, there are several items that need to be worked on in order to help Eve in the fight against the Naytiba. Each will require a different resource that can be obtained from exploring the world, completing quests, or even bought from certain vendors inStellar Blade.
How To Upgrade Eve’s Weapons in Stellar Blade
Eve can handle things both up close and from far, with the latter becoming available further into the game. Thus, players will likely rely on theBlood Edge swordfor most of the game. While it is quite powerful at the start,more challenging enemieswill require a keener edge, and the only way to do that is throughWeapon Cores.
These valuable items will onlydrop from beating bosses, including Alpha Naytibas. Each boss, likeAbaddon, will drop a single Weapon Core when defeated. There are also optional bosses that can usually be found on side quests that drop Damaged Weapon Cores. A set of two Damaged Weapon Cores can be exchanged for a single working one at the vendor, D1G-g2r. Players will then need to use the Repair Console at Camps or with Lily to upgrade the Blood Edge, increasing its damage.
As forthe droneand ranged damage, it is affected by the type of ammunition. This includes normal slugs, explosive rounds, shotgun rounds, Stinger missiles, and the Blaster Rail. By usingDrone Upgrade Modules, players can unlock more options for ranged combat, as well as expanded ammo capacity.
How to Upgrade Eve’s Exospines in Stellar Blade
As for Exospines, which provide a bunch of benefits that can further enhance your chosen way to play, it is all down to the Nano Elements. This resource is split into three tiers, and each upgrade of the Exospine requires varying number of thethree different Nano Elements.
While there is often a healthy source of these Nano Elements thatcan be found in boxesor fromdestroying environmental objects, the easiest way is to use gold to purchase them from vendors. This way, you will always have enough to upgrade your Exospine to the max tier, reaping the maximum benefits.
How To Upgrade Eve’s Gear in Stellar Blade
Gear cannot be upgraded in the normal sense, as players will continually find the same gear but of a higher star rank. The base starts at one star, with the highest tier being three stars. Naturally, the benefits will only increase if you use three-star gears, but at the beginning, Eve is only capable of equipping one Gear.
With the help ofOmnibolts, her capacity will eventually reach a maximum of four, giving players more options to play around with bonuses. Omnibolts are commonly found bydestroying small carrier robotsthat like to run away when approached and, on occasions,drop fromdefeated bossesand fromopening boxes. These are valuable resources, so don’t miss out on them, so you may upgrade Eve when the opportunity arises.
How To Upgrade Eve’s Rechargeable Tumbler in Stellar Blade
When it comes to fighting the Naytiba, chances are, Eve is going to get hurt. There are limited options when it comes to healing, even in the endgame, but the best way to counter this is to upgrade the rechargeable tumbler. With only three uses at the start, by finding and usingTumbler Upgrade Modules, you can eventually reach amaximum of eight.
They provide decent healing, and will recover their uses every time Eve restsat a Camp. The other healing potions can also do the trick, but you are restricted to a very small number of them at any given time. The only way to expand that capacity is tofind the collectible cansaround the world, which will reward players with a +1 increase for Lingering Potions and Highly Concentrated Potions each.
