Understand Rising Steel
Useful when…
- Confirming that Rising Steel is a Conclave stance for Swords.
- Checking its polarity, base drain, maximum rank, and fusion costs.
Identity and stance fit
Rising Steel is a Conclave stance for Swords. It has Unairu polarity, base drain −2, and a maximum rank of 3. Its description calls it a fighting form devised for Conclave but does not specify attacks, combos, or stance bonuses.
Fusion costs
The listed fusion steps cost 20 Endo and 966 Credits to reach rank 1, 40 Endo and 1,932 Credits to reach rank 2, and 80 Endo and 3,864 Credits to reach rank 3. No rank-based combat benefit is specified.
How its description compares
The supplied descriptions for standard sword stances name different styles: Crimson Dervish has strong whirlwind attacks, Iron Phoenix has fast cutting attacks with a puncture finish, and Swooping Falcon has quick slashes with spinning lunges. These descriptions do not establish Rising Steel’s moves or show that any of those stances is a substitute for it.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Its Conclave Sword stance fit and fusion costs are listed, but no attack pattern or rank-based combat benefit is supplied.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming other sword stance descriptions also describe Rising Steel’s attacks.
- Treating fusion costs as evidence of a rank-based combat benefit.
