Understand Frenzied Posture
Useful when…
- Use on a companion's Claws when you want the stated target-switching preference.
- Consider ranking it for additional Status Duration.
Behavior and effect
Frenzied Posture is a Standard Claws mod with a stance slot. Its description says the companion prefers to change its target after each attack and grants Status Duration. The bonus is 20% at rank 0, 60% at rank 2, and 80% at rank 3. The target preference describes behavior; it does not specify a guaranteed target sequence.
Rank and capacity
It has Penjaga polarity, base drain −2, and maximum rank 3. The listed fusion steps cost 10/483, 20/966, and 40/1,932 Endo/Credits. Raising rank improves the listed Status Duration bonus; weigh that increase against fusion cost and the capacity available for the companion weapon's other mods.
Alternative claw choices
Persistent Posture favors attacking one chosen target relentlessly and adds 40% Impact Damage, so its behavior contrasts with Frenzied Posture's target-switching preference. Magnetic Claws adds Magnetic damage and Status Duration; Cull the Weak lists damage effects tied to target status types and non-critical hits. These mods have different effects and do not duplicate Frenzied Posture's stance behavior.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The stance's behavior favors switching targets rather than persistently focusing one target.
- Higher rank raises Status Duration but requires additional fusion resources.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not expect the target preference to guarantee a specific attack sequence; only a preference to change targets is stated.
- Do not choose Persistent Posture expecting the same target-switching behavior; its description says it attacks one target relentlessly.
