Best early game build in Stellar Blade

The early game build in Stellar Blade will cover the first two to three hours of the title. Both resources and upgrade items will remain scarce until you reach humanity’s last stronghold, Xion - and as such there will not be a whole lot of options on offer. Regardless, you can still find a few chests containing Exospines and material upgrade equipment that should make your early-game journey fairly easy.

A breakdown of the best early game build in Stellar Blade can be found below.

What is the best early game build in Stellar Blade?

The best early game build in Stellar Blade will cover all of EVE's customizable Equipment that can be unlocked a few hours into the game's campaign. This particular build should be enough for brutally forcing your way through the waves of enemies (and bosses) that the game throws at you. As such, a balanced build with a focus on survival will be preferred.

Exospine

The Protection-Type Exospine is recommended for an early game build. It contains the following attributes:

• Lowers damage received from enemies by 10%.
• The Shield's Protection Level increases by a point at its maximum value.
• There is a small chance to restore HP for 5 seconds when guarding or parrying - provided your HP is at 20% or lower.

The official in-game description of the Exospine goes as follows:

In the autumn of 2050, at the Eidos Keynote, CEO Raphael Marks introduced the latest exospine module and praised himself, saying, We have started making our own teachers, who in turn make even better teachers, and adjust and replace them according to our tastes. Mother Sphere? She was watching the scene in real-time through the NETWORK.

This particular Exospine should help with surviving bosses, such as the Corruptor.

Gear

The Protection Gear is a go-to recommendation for an early game build in Stellar Blade. The gear's official description goes as follows:

Abandoned by Mother Sphere, the survivors on Earth had to do whatever they could to survive in the wasteland. They often made unauthorized modifications, such as implanting chips in the gear modules or soldering jumper cables without adequate equipment. Occasionally, the devices made were useful, but very rarely.

The Protection Gear offers a flat 4.5% damage reduction across all types of enemy damage, increasing your odds of survival in the desolate world of Stellar Blade.

Using this equipment combination will greatly increase your odds of survival in Stellar Blade, allowing you to go toe-to-toe with most of the bosses until you get your hands on better gear. It is highly recommended to switch out and experiment with the various equipment the game throws at you.
