Understand Crimson Dervish
Useful when…
- Equip on a sword to use the Crimson Dervish stance and its described whirlwind attacks.
- Use its Madurai polarity to match a compatible stance slot.
What does the stance do?
Crimson Dervish is a standard sword stance. Its stated handling feature is strong whirlwind attacks. The input does not enumerate combo sequences, attack speeds, forced status effects, or damage bonuses, so those should not be inferred from the stance description.
Where can it be equipped?
It is a stance-slot mod compatible with Swords. It has Madurai polarity and a base drain of -2.
How should you compare sword stances?
Iron Phoenix is also a standard sword stance; its description emphasizes fast cutting attacks with a puncture finish. Swooping Falcon is another standard sword stance, described as quick slashes with spinning lunges. These descriptions distinguish the stated handling themes, but provide no combo-level numbers for a damage comparison. Rising Steel is marked as a Conclave variant, so its listed description identifies it as a fighting form devised for Conclave rather than a standard stance choice.
Fusion and acquisition
The stance reaches rank 3. Fusion costs rise by rank, with the final step from rank 2 to 3 costing 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits. Rank it if you want to invest in the stance; its stated whirlwind handling does not come with rank-specific effect values in the provided details. Listed acquisition sources include several Bombard variants and the Knave Specter, as well as Sedna arena entries; the snapshot does not guarantee current availability.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its listed identity is a whirlwind-focused stance, but combo inputs and numerical attack properties are not provided.
- It is compatible with swords, not all melee weapon classes.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Installing the stance in a standard mod slot instead of the stance slot.
- Assuming the brief whirlwind description establishes specific combo multipliers or attack speed.
