Understand Balanced Posture
Useful when…
- Equip on Claws when free companion behavior and movement-based staggering are useful.
Behavior and stagger
Balanced Posture says the companion acts freely as they see fit and staggers enemies within 0.5 m at rank 0, 1.5 m at rank 2, and 2 m at rank 3. The stagger effect is listed while the companion is moving.
Mod details and ranking
Balanced Posture is a Claws mod with Penjaga polarity, maximum rank 3, and base drain -2. Listed fusion examples cost 10 Endo and 483 Credits from rank 0 to 1, and 40 Endo and 1,932 Credits from rank 2 to 3.
Other Claws stance effects
Protector Posture prioritizes enemies within 15 m of the Warframe and lists Puncture status effects on attacks. Assassin Posture prioritizes Eximus and other high-ranking enemies and grants +300% Overguard Damage. Balanced Posture instead lists free companion behavior and movement-based staggering.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The stagger effect is limited to nearby enemies while the companion moves.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the listed stagger effect while the companion is stationary.
- Confusing its free-action behavior with the target priorities listed for other stances.
