To choose lightsaber upgrades in Star Wars™: KOTOR II, compare the stat changes shown at a workbench and prioritize the stats your character needs. Check the final values before committing to a setup, especially if a part’s benefits come with a drawback.
Compare parts at a workbench
Select your lightsaber at a workbench and review its available upgrade slots: a color crystal, a power crystal, an emitter, a lens, and an energy cell. The draft describes the color crystal and a second power crystal as the two crystal choices.
Use the displayed stat changes to compare parts rather than relying on a general claim that one type is best. For example, if a part increases damage but lowers attack, decide whether that trade-off suits your current priorities.
- Check the stats on your current lightsaber.
- Compare the changes from an available part.
- Install parts that support your priorities, then review the resulting stats.
Prioritize the stats you need
If you want to improve accuracy, favor parts whose displayed changes increase attack. If you want more damage, compare the damage values—but check whether the part also reduces another stat you care about. With limited crystal choices, the draft recommends focusing on a priority instead of trying to improve every stat at once.
The supplied material does not establish which specific crystal or component is best for a given build. Use the workbench’s displayed values to make that comparison with the parts you have.
