• Upon activation, the user will hold their armament (weapon) in a horizontal sword stance.

  • Stamina regeneration is reduced by approximately 80% while this stance is active.
• Inputting a light attack while in the stance will cause your character to do a upward swing in front of them.
  • This attack inflicts a large amount of stance damage (30), and heavily damages stamina to enemies that are blocking, usually breaking their guard.
    • The attack is effective at making blocking enemies susceptible to guard breaks. The player can capitalize on this with different talisman loadouts if they wish.
      
      
• Inputting a heavy attack while in the stance will cause your character to do a running forward thrust in a single direction.
  • This attack deals a considerable amount of damage, almost equivalent to two heavy attacks while two handing from the same weapon.
    • Be wary of the windup and tracking, as it can be hard to land to enemies extremely close to you. The player does not stop moving until the actual thrust is made.
  • The attack also heavily damages stance(40), making stance breaking enemies extremely easy and effective.
  • As it counts as a thrust attack, this attack benefits from the Spear Talisman.
  • This can also catch people rolling away after a riposte if timed well in PVP.
