LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga features 9 distinct classes of characters, where everyone has a role to play in uncovering secrets, whilst also acting as unique fighters in the iconic Star Wars battles that await. If players want to maximize their efficiency and have the best characters in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, then they might want to know what to spend their Studs and Kyber Bricks on.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga‘s 9 classes can be upgraded with new skills and abilities, and found below, are the very best of these upgrades for each of the 9 classes to better help new players jump into the galaxy far, far away without worrying about wasting those precious Studs and Kyber Bricks.

How to Purchase Skill Upgrades

In order to unlock upgrades for each character class, players will need to acquire Kyber Bricks and Studs. Each upgrade and further tier of upgrade will require more studs and Kyber Bricks than the last, but they will provide a bonus to stats, such as damage, speed, and other assortments of goodies. Studs can be acquired by destroying items, following paths, and completing missions, whereas Kyber Bricks are found in free mode planet exploration areas through puzzles.

9 Jedi – Jedi Reflexes

Stronger Combat Counters That Damage Nearby Enemies

• Level 1 – 50% damage increase, affecting a small radius (10,000 Studs, 4 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 2 – 100% damage increase, affecting a moderate radius (25,000 Studs, 10 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 3 – 200% damage increase, affecting a large radius (50,000 Studs, 12 Kyber Bricks)

Lightsabers have become more complex in recent Star Wars games, and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga allows players to indulge in a flurry of combos instead of just button-mashing the attack button. With Jedi Reflexes, players can use a successful Combat Counter (Press Triangle/Y when ! appears) which will deal more damage and a stronger effect, which is great against melee bosses and overwhelming enemies.

8 Hero – Improved Shield Generator

Increase Shields for Ships Piloted by Player Characters

• Level 1 – increases shields by 25% (10,000 Studs, 4 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 2 – increases shields by 50% (25,000 Studs, 10 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 3 – increases shields by 100% (50,000 Studs, 12 Kyber Bricks)

Wearing disguises to gain armor points, Heroes aren’t just iconic for their stature, but for their mechanics and abilities. However, Heroes are best used for space exploration, as the Improved Shield Generator upgrade allows them to have more shields when piloting ships, meaning those hostiles out in space are going to have a hard time penetrating those durable shields.

7 Scavenger – Better Breaker Blaster

Increase the Explosive Range and Damage of the Breaker Blaster

• Level 1 – Slightly increases explosion size and damage (10,000 Studs, 4 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 2 – Moderately increases explosion size and damage (25,000 Studs, 10 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 3 – Greatly increases explosion size and damage (50,000 Studs, 12 Kyber Bricks)

Scavengers, like Rey, are one of the more unique classes, as they do not have lightsabers, and instead rely on scrap to build an assortment of useful devices. Perhaps the most useful in terms of survival and combat is the Breaker Blaster, and upgrading it with the Better Breaker Blaster upgrade will increase its explosive range and damage against enemies and cracked walls.

6 Scoundrel – Charged Shot

Hold the Fire Button for Powerful Shots That Cause 25% More Damage

• Level 1 – Charged shots will bounce off 1 surface (10,000 Studs, 4 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 2 – Charged shots will bounce off 2 surfaces (25,000 Studs, 10 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 3 – Charged shots will bounce off 3 surfaces (50,000 Studs, 12 Kyber Bricks)

Scoundrels won’t let the Empire deter them from making a profit, and these rag-tag group of anti-heroes can use their blasters and their fists to get the job done. Since Scoundrels harbor iconic characters like Han Solo, many might want to play as this class, and what makes them even better is Charged Shot, an ability that will allow for stronger shots once charged with the R2/RT button, and can bounce off of surfaces in case players miss.

5 Bounty Hunter – Shock Grenade

Stun Enemies and Disable Energy Shields

• Level 1 – Stuns enemies within a small range of the blast (10,000 Studs, 4 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 2 – Stuns enemies within a moderate range of the blast (25,000 Studs, 10 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 3 – Stuns enemies within a large range of the blast (50,000 Studs, 12 Kyber Bricks)

With rapid-fire weapons and the ability to hunt down enemies and do the dirty work that the Empire tends to avoid, Bounty Hunters are a lot of fun. After all, it involves the likes of Boba Fett. With a Bounty Hunter on the job, players will want to select the Shock Grenade upgrade, as deactivating droids, stunning enemies, and removing energy shields is an easy way to be the best at combat.

4 Villain – Defense Droid

Summon a Defensive Droid that Attacks Enemies

• Level 1 – Training remote attacks will cause a small amount of damage (10,000 Studs, 4 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 2 – Training remote attacks will cause a moderate amount of damage (25,000 Studs, 10 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 3 – Training remote attacks will cause a large amount of damage (50,000 Studs, 12 Kyber Bricks)

The wretched scum of the galaxy, Villains aid in the Empire and First Order’s rule, and they can access doors and terminals associated with their status. Villains are not just useful for opening doors, as they are capable of an arsenal of destruction, and with the Defense Droid perk, players will be able to use a training remote that provides additional damage, supporting players when they are overwhelmed with enemies.

3 Dark Side – Dark Rise

Increases the Power and Capabilities of the Force Lift

• Level 1 – Non-droid enemies can also be lifted (10,000 Studs, 4 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 2 – Non-droid enemies can also be thrown (25,000 Studs, 10 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 3 – Force-lifted enemies can be thrown much further (50,000 Studs, 12 Kyber Bricks)

The Sith always have the best powers due to their indulgence in the Dark Side of the Force. As such, it’s best to upgrade the Dark Rise ability, as this will allow players to lift up enemies with the Force. Further upgrades of this skill will allow players to throw their foes, and this can cause some devastation, with enemies being thrown into each other or even off of cliffs.

2 Astromech Droid – Super-Charged

Stun Prod Enemies to Damage Them

• Level 1 – Damages enemies within a small range (10,000 Studs, 4 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 2 – Damages enemies within a moderate range (25,000 Studs, 10 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 3 – Damages enemies within a large range (50,000 Studs, 12 Kyber Bricks)

Hacking an assortment of devices, the Astromech Droids can be greatly useful when it comes to getting into areas players shouldn’t. Yet, when Astromech Droids get into combat, they might struggle a bit since they just have a stun prod in their arsenal. With the Super-Charged upgrade, players can deal a significant amount of damage instead of just a pesky stun.

1 Protocol Droid – Polished Plating

Become Invulnerable to Enemy Blaster Fire

• Level 1 – 50% chance of deflecting bolts (10,000 Studs, 4 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 2 – 75% chance of deflecting bolts (25,000 Studs, 10 Kyber Bricks)
• Level 3 – Deflects all enemy bolts (50,000 Studs, 12 Kyber Bricks)

Protocol Droids are great for accessing Protocol Terminals and translating alien languages, but when it comes to battle, they are pretty useless. Luckily, their uselessness doesn’t have to be a crux, for if players fully upgrade the Polished Plating upgrade, they will boost their defensive capabilities, and they will be able to deflect blaster bolts, allowing them to keep their health, whilst enemies might get hit with a rogue shot from their own bolts.
