Understand Swooping Falcon
Useful when…
- Equip it in a Sword’s stance slot for the described slashing and lunging style.
- Compare its broad style description with other Sword stances before choosing one.
What it does
Swooping Falcon is a standard Sword stance with Madurai polarity, maximum rank 3, and base drain −2. Its description mentions quick slashes and spinning lunges, but gives no combo inputs, reach, or attack values.
Choosing a stance style
Iron Phoenix is described as fast cutting attacks with a puncture finish, while Crimson Dervish is described as strong whirlwind attacks. Those descriptions offer different broad styles for comparison; they do not establish detailed attack behavior. Rising Steel is marked as a Conclave variant, so it is a distinct option from this standard stance.
Rank costs
Fusion costs rise by rank: 0→1 costs 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits; 1→2 costs 60 Endo and 2,898 Credits; 2→3 costs 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits. Rank it when you plan to use the stance and have those materials available; the listed facts give no rank-specific effect values.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The description gives a slashing and lunging style, but no combo inputs or numerical attack properties.
- Each successive fusion step costs more Endo and Credits, and no rank-specific benefits are listed.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the style description specifies range, multipliers, or combo inputs.
- Treating Rising Steel’s Conclave variant as the standard Swooping Falcon stance.
