Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Which Force Powers to Upgrade First

Lightning

Players are advised to put their first Force Points toward Lightning, a deadly attack that is executed by holding down the A button. Indeed, Lightning is a very useful Force Power, acting as both a damage dealer and a crowd controller, and increasing its efficacy is a huge boon. Notably, Lightning is also good for building combo multipliers, and Star Wars fans that upgrade it first should earn the Force Points that they invested in this Force Power back quickly.

Force Push

Force Push, which is performed by pressing X, is another Force Power that is worth upgrading early. One of the reasons for this recommendation is that players are incentivized to spam Force Push wherever they go, as doing so will unearth collectibles like Crystals, Hilts, and Holocrons in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Since fans should already be using this ability so frequently, they might as well maximize its power against the enemies it may come into contact with.

Repulse

After upgrading Lightning and Force Push, players should consider putting their Force Points toward Repulse. This Force Power is executed by holding L and tapping X, and it is another great source of crowd control for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed’s main character. As is the case with Push, Repulse is also useful for finding collectibles, and again players that are on the hunt for those items should not shy away from using this power as much as possible.

To note, Force Points come quite easily, and players that dispatch every enemy that they encounter should ultimately be able to fully upgrade most of the Force Powers that they are interested in. Additionally, there are always Star Wars: The Force Unleashed cheat codes, one of which bumps all Force Powers to maximum. As such, players need not be too concerned about how they spend their initial Force Points, though the recommendations in this guide should definitely help them get started on their journeys.
