Understand Pointed Wind
Useful when…
- Equip it in the stance slot of a dagger.
- Choose it when spiral strikes and lifting combos suit your melee handling preference.
What the stance offers
The supplied description identifies spiral strikes and lifting combos. It is a standard Rare stance mod for Daggers, with Madurai polarity, base drain -2, and a maximum rank of 3. No individual attack sequences or numeric attack properties are specified here.
Stance slot and rank investment
Pointed Wind goes in a stance slot, not an ordinary weapon-mod slot. Its listed base drain is negative two, and the maximum rank is 3. The final listed step from rank 2 to 3 costs 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits. Rank it further when you value the stance progression; its listed drops include Shockwave Moa variants, Sedna/Undine Arena, and Duviri/Endless Normal tiers 4 and 6.
Other dagger choices
Homing Fang is another dagger stance described as fast strikes with many hits, so it presents a different stated combo character. Heartseeker is a Conclave standard mod that locks onto targets within 1m but reduces damage block by 50%; it is not a substitute stance. Piercing Fury is a Conclave dagger stance, which is a different variant from this standard stance.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its stated handling is specific to spiral strikes and lifting combos; no numeric attack performance is supplied.
- A stance slot is required.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not confuse Pointed Wind with the Conclave dagger stance Piercing Fury.
- Do not infer attack multipliers or exact combo sequences from the short stance description.
