"The Jedi practice many forms, many styles of lightsaber combat. It is good to know them, but not to rely on them....Others may come with time, with experience."      -- Kreia

This Form has the following effect:

• Attack Modifier +1

*Note that Defense bonuses are cumulative, so this Form provides a net +0 Defense against your current target, but +3 Defense against enemies that are not your target.

Makashi

The Contention Form, also known as Makashi or Form II, was specifically developed to combat other lightsaber users.

This Form has the following effect:

This Form has the following effect:

Shien

Perseverance : Form V
The Perseverance Form, also known as Shien or Form V, is an aggressive Form that does not sacrifice protection from blaster fire. It is most effective when facing blaster-wielding opponents or when outnumbered and least effective against a single foe.

This Form has the following effect:

• Attack Modifier +2

This Form has the following effect:
