Entering Powerstance
Equip two weapons—one in your main hand and one in your offhand. You'll automatically enter powerstance, unlocking synchronized dual-wield attack chains designed for speed and multi-target damage.
Combo Flow
Powerstance combos flow differently than two-handed attacks. Your strikes alternate between weapons in smooth sequences. Each weapon type pairs differently; experiment with matching weapon classes (two katanas, two axes) or mixing them for varied attack patterns.
Stamina Management
Dual-wielding burns stamina faster than other stances. Track your stamina bar carefully—running out leaves you defenseless. Use lighter weapons or the Refined affinity (Diamond) to stretch your stamina pool further.
Heavy Attacks in Powerstance
Charged heavy attacks in dual-wield mode hit with both weapons. If both weapons have projectile affinities (Holy or Magic), you'll fire multiple arcs. This makes powerstance excellent for burst damage against groups.
Positioning
Since dual-wield combos are fast but stamina-intensive, use dash strikes to close gaps and reposition. Jump attacks let you escape when surrounded. Combine movement with your attack chains for maximum effectiveness.
