Kebast Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Since quick melee is no more, I’ve been looking for stances with good flow and mobility. Sadly, most of my high forma count weapons have none. Any recommendations on weapons to play with? My GoTo was polearms, but none of the stances are that great. Stave isn’t bad, and I’ve found myself enjoying galatine again recently. would love to hear there are more fun, good flowing melee stances I’ve not found yet.

RobWasHere Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Final Harbinger with good sword & shield weapon, like Silva prime or Sigma Octantis, nothing beats it's mobility imo. Staff Zaw with Clashing Forest is not bad too, if you forget that forward combo exist by holding aim button and E mashing. Nicely propels forward with good reach.

WindigoTG Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Blind Justice. THE best for mobility as it does not restrict mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldain Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Just now, WindigoTG said: Blind Justice. Tranquil Cleave is also good, really both Nikana stances except Decisive Judgment are good at keeping you mobile, and the pause combo can deal some good quick damage for minimal slowdown.

so_many_watermelons Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Cleaving Whirlwind if you get the timing for the spin swing chain down, since you can still throw slides in there between spins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtHotPepper Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Tempo royale is very cool especially with the final smash that give you some relief in large mobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind Justice is my favorite Nikana stance, but sometimes the mobility can be a little too good. It's very easy end up dashing places I really don't want to be, or off of a small map completely.

0_The_F00l Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Final harbinger with s&s, Tempo Royale with greatsword (needs decent speed though) One of the staff stances I can't remember right now. One of the scythe (though scythe themselves tend to be underwhelming) can't remember. Will update this post if I can find which stances they were.

Aldain Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Oh for 1 Hand swords you can also get mileage out of Swooping Falcon, its quick and none of its moves lock you in place for more than a single moment (block combo has a long last hit animation).

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 nobody mentioned Crushing Ruin? literally a Stance that made the Wolf of Saturn Six go "I should totally do that with my hammer!" the pause combo can pretty much fling you across the room! Blind Justice is good too, if you can do the pause combo well enough that dashing attack is great, and looks badass. 3 hours ago, 0_The_F00l said: Will update this post if I can find which stances they were. Staff Stances are Bleeding Willow and Clashing Forest, scythe Stances are Reaping Spiral and Stalking Fan. not a fan of Reaping Spiral as it's too showy for my liking, but it is pretty mobile.

Kebast Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Maybe I'll just build a Zaw for every strike I haven't used yet that fits this list! I have at least 3 more for MR left anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
