(PSN)Spooky_Intention Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I recently acquired Blind Justice and i think Tranquil Cleave. I enjoy the animation style of Blind Justice(the reverse grip is really interesting) but i just want to know what everyones opinions are on the different stances and which they prefer! Also, if you have the time please list why you list this or that stance. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storchenbein Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Blind Justice is the best in my opinion. Quick strikes with the ability of a miniature slash dash in one of the combos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoof310 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I like decisive judgment. You have the spammy quick-hits when not having the nikana equipped and I generally consider DJ a better stance than TQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Spooky_Intention Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I think i may need to pick up Decisive Judgement to try it out. Thats the only one i dont have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--Q--WaffleZ Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I love a dashing combo of Blind Justice, very fun to use. But Decisive Judgement is the best for me. It's combo is slow, but easily to use and short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khawz Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Blind Justice slide attack and normal combo are really slow, it has the better animations but i still prefer Decisive Judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snydrex Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) TRANQUIL CLLLLEEEEAAAAVVEEE. This stance uses reverse-grip, one handed, and two handed swings, has a 100% bleed proc combo, can stun the heavies for a melee finisher with another combo, and has a tri-stab that surpasses all the others in DPS. In terms of utility, it far surpasses BJ and DJ, in my opinion. And yes, I've used all three. Thoroughly.

jmulet4297 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) I personally love the Blind Justice Stance out of all of em the most. But every single stance is just as good as each other, they all do same damage, it is all then on preferences. want quick stabs and long left to right slashes? Get Tranquil Cleave. You like focused strikes with medium speed, over head strike, and large area attacks, get Decisive Judgment. If you like to do a bit of everything, have foucsed strikes at close range with quick slashes but also slow attack with over head strikes, + different slide animations, then Blind Justice is for you. As you can see, it is your preferance. Depending on what you like then you can be the best with any of these 3 stances. EDIT: But i can definetly say if you switch to blind justice between other stances, get ready for a completly different fighting style XD. Does take time to get used to and if not mastered well then it will not be fully effective. Edited February 18, 2015 by jmulet4297 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NyxCrab Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Blind Justice, because it makes the Nikana berserker viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swihart91 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Blind justice because who doesnt like getting a head shot with a katana. But my honest favorite is tranquil cleave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Spooky_Intention Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 thanks guys! i guess i just need to try them all out, at the moment i prefer blind justice. Thank you all for weighing in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROSING Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Blind justice looks pretty flashy so if you like that kind of thing go for it. Plus that dash attack is pretty satisfying to carve into an enemy or a line of enemies . But there's just this allure about decisive judgment for me...it's so methodical and conveys a lot of strength in it's attacks. Plus one of it's moves opens up enemies for finisher attacks if you land it right, so utility wise I like a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTaro Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I've got all 3 stances and I can tell you that Dragon Nikana is the most efficient without a stance. The one-two slash of the default (no-stance) is its best combo. Made a video demonstrating Dragon Nikana without a stance: It's fast, accurate without unnecessary mobility combo's and you don't get queued in a combo, having to wait for it to finish before moving on to your next target.

ArkNeither Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I like Blind Justice, I don't have any raw data comparing the stances, but it feels like Blind Justice does the most hits per unit time the fastest. Like that Slash Dash does a lot of hits and if you do the Slash Dash in a tight circle around a big target like a Bombard, or Ancient, or something... that's a lot of hits in a short amount of time... In addition to just being able to use the Slash Dash in a normal AoE fashion. That Slash Dash move is like the only move out of any melee attack in the game I deliberately enjoy Channeling with.

Made a video demonstrating Dragon Nikana without a stance: It's fast, accurate without unnecessary mobility combo's and you don't get queued in a combo, having to wait for it to finish before moving on to your next target. It's extremely boring to play. As soon as targets get a little resiliant, your 1-2 combo won't be enough and you'll want to have those "unnecessary combos" which actually do quite good against crowds. All stances have simple 1-2-3-4 combos you can execute without any difficulty and being stuck in a combo. I don't consider fighting lvl 13 chargers is a proper demonstration of why people should forgoe stances on Nikana, especially when you factor in the additional mod capacity. On the topic, I like blind justice a lot but you'll have to move with directional melee and the dash combo, which by the way looks classy as F***, instead of coptering. Otherwise, if you really can't live without the coptering, I'd say Tranquil Cleave is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMHowler Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Decisive judgement for a wide AOEs where there are many enemies that need to be killed fast (like infested) Blind Justice for more focused approach and fewer, but stronger enemies.

Efficient people pick Dakra Prime or Dual Ichor or scindo prime too Edited February 18, 2015 by Sygnano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlakAttack Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Efficient people pick Dakra Prime or Dual Ichor Pretty much my feelings on the subject. If I actually took my Nikana out and used the combos I'd consider Blind Justice, but BJ nukes mobility and I usually only use quick attacks anyway. For quick attacks your best bet is Decisive Judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absens Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Blind justice is not a good stance, people are blinded by its flashy combos. It awkwardly misses most targets, makes sliding slash extremely hard because of the reverse grip.It feels fast but you dont hit enemies most of the time. Even tho i use blind justice and decisive judgement. I have to admit the most reliable one is the Tranquil Cleave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
