Which Saber Form Should Corvus Master Next?
It's still a little ways out, but one of the Shadow Master rewards is a Mastery Token granting Mastery in one of thr saber forms. 1st place wins the token, 2nd place is what Corvus will train on his own.

I feel like Makashi is the perfect balance for his Juyo. Powerful unpredictablity vs pure precision
Niman, so there's an excuse for why he needs to master all other forms 😆
Maybe Corvus should go for Form V: Shien and Djem So it help him with incorporating his force powers and abilities into his lightsaber combat what starkiller and Galen marek where able to achieve
Let’s do form 4. No one in a fic ever uses Ataru. If it’s good enough for Liam Neeson it’s good enough for Corvus!
Actually, if you want a link, I know a story where they use Ataru. The MC is Kaleesh but the story is on Akun.
U going to get shot at a lot more go the obi way defense to the extreme then work on offense. Plus if teach soresu to the rest of the jedi they defense and life chances goes up just a thought. Ps where is obi at in soresu cause if Mc get better then obi then teachs him some not a bad deal
Using the Mastery Token to instantly master Makashi is not only the right move, but the smart move since his New Order doesn't have a true Master of the 2nd Form anymore. Dooku only lost because he wasn't seeking to kill Anakin (so he held back) and because of his old age finally catching up like others said. The 2nd Form is invaluable against Elite Master-tier opponents in 1v1's, especially since he doesn't have the time to properly learn it. However, the 3rd Lightsaber Form he should train to master should absolutely be Soresu since he has Obi-Wan around and in his prime. It is a good time to learn the Defensive Form from him while he can as he has someone to teach him. The 2nd Form, Makashi, however no longer has anyone that could teach him. And Niman should only be learned once every other Form has been Mastered for you to get the Complete and Unstoppable benefits of Niman. Learning it before that is actively detrimental to the user, as seen with the Jedi during the early Clone Wars.
The main reason I choose form 2 is because corvus spams shadow hop, against anakin who already fought him? It's predictable by now, facing him directly and forcing anakin to give inches of ground while using shadow hope to reset his stance is better
I have to go with Niman because 1. It's heavily slept on and 2. It fits so perfectly with Corvus's mentality and fighting style he already has. I mean 2 of its core principles of integrated Force powers and Duel wielding might as well beg him to learn it. And Characters like Exar Kun, Jaina Solo, and Krayt have proven that mastery of Niman turns it from an extremely balanced style into a highly randomized and aggressive one that allows switching tactics as needed rather than focusing down on particular method. All of which fits perfectly into Corvus's methodology both as a duelist and a leader.
Niman only works if you're a master of ALL the other forms to supplement and *Complete* it. Otherwise, Niman is actively detrimental, pretty sure. Don't you remember how it got so many jedi killed in the early Clone Wars? Niman is trash without mastering all the other Forms first, but mastering all other Forms is what makes Niman so unstoppable. Otherwise it is simply a defanged and declawed predator asking to die.
I think form three so he has something more defensive then maybe learn Makashi as it's the stance all the flexers love
How will he learn Makashi? The best user of it is dead, we have MULTIPLE other form 3 users, he should use it to instantly master it as to counter anakin
Guys come on, we already have many masters on planet that could teach him form 3, but who can teach him form 2? The best form 2 user dooku died, come on
Form 3 is amazing, but Corvus already has healing, barriers, Shadow Hop, speed buffs, and Juyo for pressure. Form 2 gives him something none of those do: control of elite 1v1s. Let him master Makashi instantly, then train Soresu with Obi-Wan.
Form 3 in my opinion, he needs to absolutely stand toe to toe with Obi-Wan. When perfected it is unshakeable.
Form 3 is good... but form 2 put absolutely hands on obi wan, we literally saw him get knocked out by dooku with it
THE ONLY REASON HE LOST WAS HIS OLD AGE AND SIDOUS TELLING HIM NOT TO KILL SKYWALKER!
PLEASE IT HAS TO BE FORM 2! DOOKU WAS A MONSTER WITH IT ALONE
Let's not forget there isn't ANY other form 2 master to actually teach him if form 3 wins
