Understand Brutal Tide
Useful when…

Stance and handling
Brutal Tide is a standard Sparring stance. Its description identifies round-house attacks and leaping fists; no specific combo inputs or attack statistics are supplied here. It has Naramon polarity, maximum rank 3, and base drain -2.
Selecting a stance
Grim Fury is another standard Sparring stance, described as lightning-fast hit chains and hard-hitting combos. Vicious Approach is a Conclave Sparring stance. Their descriptions indicate different styles or mode variants; they are alternatives to consider rather than effects to combine with Brutal Tide.

Limitations and tradeoffs
