Charge Attacks in Stances

[RedRockRun]

I don't understand the input mechanics. For the sake of example, I'm using a Nikana for the first time with Blind Justice. Like other stances, there is the, "Hold __ momentarily and release," note. Holding attack does not initiate a charge. Per the wiki, I have initiated a charge attack after performing a regular attack that is not part of a combo. If I hold attack then I'll perform a charged move, but is that the actual charged move which is part of the stance or just a regular charged attack? The, "Hold momentarily," distinction is what has me confused. If I release the attack at the right moment, will I perform a different attack? Otherwise, why, "Momentarily," and not just, "Hold"?

If you are "charging" a swing for around one full second, that's almost definitely the proper charge attack (also there is a slight audio "whoosh" while charging). Pretty sure releasing it early will cancel the charge attack.

"momentarily" might just mean longer than you'd expect

A moment is a medieval unit of time roughly equal to 90 seconds

If you've timed the "hold" input properly, it will automatically initiate the next move in the combo, no charging involved. For the Blind Justice example, you press the button once, then press and hold the button.
