Stellar Blade All New Outfits: Why You’re Still Missing The Best Ones

Stellar Blade All New Outfits: Why You’re Still Missing The Best Ones

Honestly, if you thought you’d seen everything Eve has to offer in the base game, you’re in for a massive shock. Shift Up has been busy. They didn't just stop at the 70-ish suits we had at launch. No, they basically turned the game into a high-stakes fashion show with the latest updates. We’re talking over 125 outfits now. That’s a lot of Polymer Material to grind, but let’s be real, we’re all going to do it anyway.

Most people get overwhelmed by the checklist. It’s messy. You’ve got New Game Plus (NG+) variants, specific photo mode challenges, and then the big heavy hitters like the NieR: Automata and Nikke collaborations. If you aren't paying attention, you’ll miss the best stuff.

The Post-Launch Explosion: What’s Actually New?

Since the 1.009 patch and the big 2024/2025 updates, the wardrobe has tripled in size. It sort of feels like the devs are just showing off at this point. The biggest additions came through the Photo Mode update and the specialized DLCs.

You’ve likely heard about the FourSeconds series. These aren't just handed to you. You have to work for them. To get the FourSeconds Everyday Wear, you need to engage with the Photography Club quest at the bulletin board in Xion. It sounds simple, but some of the photo requests are a total pain.

The Photo Mode Outfits

The 1.009 update wasn't just about filters. It added:

  • FourSeconds Black Denim
  • FourSeconds Everyday Wear
  • Neurolink Skin
  • War Dress

The Neurolink Skin is particularly cool, but tracking down all those "Cat Photo" locations in Xion is a slog. You’re looking for cats on top of fridges, tucked into alleyways near the hair salon, and even one hanging out by the Wasteland entrance cave. It’s a scavenger hunt that actually rewards you with something better than a trophy.


Stellar Blade All New Outfits: The Collaboration Heavyweights

Let's talk about the elephant in the room. The NieR: Automata DLC.

For about ten bucks, you get access to Emil’s shop. This isn't just Eve playing dress-up; it's a full-on aesthetic overhaul. You can finally run around as 2B or A2. But it’s the YoRHa Uniform 1—the Japanese-style dress that was originally a Switch exclusive in NieR—that really stands out.

It’s not just Eve getting the love either.

  1. Lily gets a 9S-inspired look.
  2. Adam gets the Emil head (which is hilarious and terrifying).
  3. The Drone turns into Pod 042.

Then there’s the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE crossover. This one brought in outfits like the Wandering Swordfighter and the Elysion Combat Uniform. These are flashy. They fit the high-octane combat of Stellar Blade perfectly. If you haven't fought Scarlet yet to unlock some of these, you're missing out on the best boss-reward loop in the game.

The NG+ Trap and "Secret" Variants

Here is where most players get confused. You see a suit online, go to the chest, and it’s not there. Or worse, it’s a different color.

Stellar Blade uses a "Variant" system for New Game Plus. If you already own the base version of a suit, the chest in NG+ will contain a different colorway. For example, the Sky Ace outfit from the "Encounter" side quest becomes the Air Ace in NG+. The Black Rose becomes the Angelic Rose.

The Most Coveted New Suits

The sheer variety is wild. You’ve got the Royal Guard Suit, which looks like something out of a futuristic palace, and the Black Lotus, which is a fan favorite for its sleek silhouette.

If you’re hunting for the Prototype Sensate Suit, head to the Great Desert. You’ll need to find a specific building near a supply camp, blow up a wall, and do some light platforming with a movable box. It’s these little environmental puzzles that make the hunt feel earned.


Technical Updates You Might Have Missed

Shift Up added a "No Ponytail" option. Finally.

This might seem small, but for some outfits, that long ponytail was a clipping nightmare. Now you can toggle it off in the settings. They also added the Symbol of Legacy accessory. This is a game-changer because it actually changes the appearance of Tachy Mode.

How to Actually Get Them All

If you want the full 125-suit collection, you basically have to commit to three playthroughs. It’s a grind. No way around it.

  • Playthrough 1: Get every base chest and complete all side quests (especially the "Recruit Passcode Specialists" one for the La Vie en Rose suit).
  • Playthrough 2 (NG+): Collect the color variants. These replace the base suits in the same chests.
  • Playthrough 3 (NG++): Some players report third-tier variants like the Planet Diving Suit (6th) V3.

Don't forget the vendors. Roxanne and Lyle in Xion are your best friends. Raise their affinity levels by buying their stock, and they’ll eventually start selling high-tier designs like the Cybernetic Dress or the Keyhole Dress.

Actionable Checklist for the Completionist

  1. Check the Bulletin Board: Always look for new quests after an update. The Photo Mode and Nikke quests start here.
  2. Max Out Affinity: Buy everything from Roxanne and Lyle early. It unlocks the better recipes later.
  3. The "Can" Hunt: Collecting all 49 cans is still the only way to get the Black Pearl (and its variants). It’s tedious, but the suit is arguably the most detailed in the game.
  4. Boss Challenge: You have to beat the Boss Challenge mode on Normal or higher to get the Neurolink Suit. It’s a test of skill, not just a scavenger hunt.

Honestly, the best part about the Stellar Blade all new outfits isn't just the looks. It’s that they actually give you a reason to keep exploring those desolate, beautiful maps long after the credits roll.

To wrap this up, focus on the Xion vendors first. They hold the keys to the most designs. Once you've cleared their shops, start the Photo Mode requests to snag the FourSeconds gear. That will give you a solid foundation before you dive into the specialized DLC content or the NG+ color variants.
