Nioh 2 · Stance

Low Stance

Low Stance favors fast attacks, quick combos, and more effective dodging, while using the least Ki per move. Its attacks deal the least damage among the three stances.

How it works

The wiki describes Low Stance attacks as the fastest, suitable for stringing quick combos, and says the stance typically allows quicker, more effective dodges. It also says Low Stance consumes the least Ki per move and deals the least damage. Stances can be switched during combat, giving players another way to change a weapon’s moveset.

When it helps

Consider Low Stance when quick combos, dodging, or lower Ki use matter more to you than stronger individual attacks. The passage does not claim it is best for every weapon or encounter.

The tradeoff

Its listed advantages in speed, dodging, and Ki economy come with the lowest attack damage of the three stances.

Your next step

Try Low Stance with your chosen weapon and compare its dodges, Ki use, and attack damage against another stance.
