Description

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Calmly assume a right-sided stance. Normal attack triggers a rapid three-slash combination. Strong attack triggers a leaping thrust.

Acquisition

• Can be granted to infusable Light Greatswords with the Ash of War: Wing Stance.

Effect

The user holds their weapon out to their right side and parallel to the ground, assuming a calm and dignified stance. As a result, the user's movement speed decreases to a slow walk, and their Stamina regeneration speed is greatly decreased.

Inputting light attack has the user perform a swift and elegant three-slash combo, dealing 83%, 84%, then 87% of the weapon's Attack Power. If the input for the Skill is still held, then the user immediately returns to the stance, allowing them to repeat the light attack follow-up continuously until the user runs out of FP or Stamina.

Inputting strong attack has the user leap into the air and descend with a far-reaching thrust attack, dealing 251% of the weapon's Attack Power. If the input for the Skill is still held while performing the light attack follow-up, then the user immediately returns to the stance, allowing them to immediately perform the strong attack follow-up.

If performing without the sufficient FP or stat requirements, the light follow-up attack deals only 50% of the weapon's Attack Power for each slash, and the strong follow-up attack deals only 100% of the weapon's Attack Power.

Strategies

• The light attack follow-up can be useful for building up Status Effects.
• Since the heavy attack follow-up jump up it can avoid some groundbound attacks, and also make headshots (causing extra damage) since it attacks from above.
  • This isn't a true jump attacks, and as such does not grant the user Jump Frames
• The Stance can be cancelled without using a follow-up attack.
• If the skill button is held down while the light attack follow-up is performed then the character will return to the stance much quicker than usually.
  • This means that the light attack follow-up can be easily spammed repeatedly or immediately be followed up with the heavy attack follow-up.

Trivia

• Appears to be loosely based off of the Broad Ward stance pioneered by Italian fencing master Giacomo di Grassi, intended to coax opponents into attacking by appearing more exposed than you actually are, allowing you to counter at a moment's notice.
