Best Lightsabers for Dueling
Lightsaber enthusiasts have diverse preferences, from those who appreciate the visual aesthetics for maneuvers like Obi-Ani spins to those who seek the best lightsabers for dueling. If you’re interested in actual combat, consider dueling lightsabers that are durable and balanced for precision. For the most intense enthusiasts, full contact lightsabers provide a realistic option for sparring. Whether you’re looking for a custom dueling saber or character inspired combat lightsabers, there are countless choices for you.
Some really adventurous collectors go for full-contact sparring (with appropriate safety precautions, of course). If you’re interested in this kind of activity, you’ve probably been wondering which would provide the best combat experience. We can answer that by exploring the various features that go into the best combat lightsabers.
Dueling with Ultrasabers Combat Lightsabers
One of the things we take pride in at Ultrasabers is our ability to produce a wide range of battle-ready lightsabers. Our gear isn’t just for show. Every saber that comes out of our shop is fit for combat.
Unlike some cheap sabers you may find on the Internet, our sabers do not use easily damaged LED strings to light up the blade. Instead, our sabers’ light source is in the hilt. That means you can flail away with your Ultrasabers blade (within reason) without fear of harming its ability to remain properly illuminated.
Dueling Lightsaber Blade Considerations
While all lightsabers might look similar, their combat capabilities can differ significantly. For those involved in rigorous dueling, the blade type is crucial.
Ultrasabers offers four blade types tailored to various levels of dueling intensity:
Midgrade: Ideal for light, casual dueling, these blades are lightweight and designed to bend without breaking, ensuring longevity and superior brightness.
Ultraedge Midgrade: Similar to Midgrade but includes white polycarbonate for a fuller, brighter blade illumination.
Heavy Grade: Double the thickness and weight of Midgrade blades, these are highly durable and suitable for more intense dueling scenarios.
Ultraedge Heavy Grade: Combines the durability of Heavy Grade blades with enhanced illumination, perfect for those who need a battle-ready saber.
Heavy Grade and Ultraedge Heavy Grade blades are recommended for those seeking a full contact lightsaber experience.
Additional Considerations
Making a custom dueling lightsaber is more than just picking a blade. It involves considering the hilt’s ergonomics to ensure it complements your dueling style. The right fit can significantly impact your control and comfort during a duel.
Personal Fit: Choosing the best lightsaber for dueling often depends on personal characteristics. For those with smaller hands, a hilt that fits well is crucial for effective dueling. Our V2 series, with its skinny hilts, has proven valuable for diminutive yet dangerous duelers.
Tip Comfort: Both pointed and rounded tips perform similarly during combat. However, some duelists find pointed tips uncomfortable for opponents in thrust maneuvers.
Wide Selection: At Ultrasabers, our extensive range of high-quality dueling lightsabers ensures that you can find the perfect model for your needs. Feel free to reach out with any questions about our custom, battle-ready lightsabers.
