Understand Dividing Blades
Useful when…
- Equip a Conclave stance on Dual Swords.
Use and equipment
Dividing Blades is an Uncommon Conclave stance for Dual Swords, with Naramon polarity and a listed base drain of -2. Its description identifies it as a fighting form devised for Conclave but supplies no attack sequence details. The listed acquisition is Conclave, Mistral.
Rank investment
The stance reaches rank 3. The listed fusion steps cost 20, 40, and 80 Endo, with corresponding Credits costs of 966, 1,932, and 3,864. Rank it according to the capacity and stance rank needs of the Dual Swords setup; no separate rank-based attack effect is specified here.
Other listed Dual Swords stances
The comparison candidates are standard stances: Carving Mantis is described as strong slashes and quick stabs that keep forward momentum; Crossing Snakes uses multi-angle strikes and thrusts; Swirling Tiger has fanning, multi-hit strikes. Those descriptions distinguish their stated attack styles, but do not establish that they share Dividing Blades' Conclave variant.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The entry identifies its Conclave role but gives no detailed attack sequence to compare.
- Its listed Conclave variant is distinct from the standard variants of the comparison stances.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the standard stance descriptions apply to Dividing Blades.
- Inferring unlisted combo attacks or stance effects from its name.
