Stances

In addition to the base Stances, available for all warriors (Dodge, Parry, Ambush, Overwatch and Delay) there are other Stances that can be learned when the warrior acquires Skill points as they gain levels. Using these advanced Stances provides a variety of effects including increased Initiative, increased Critical hit Resistance and the ability to attempt to Dodge or Parry after an Ambush attack, or multiple times in a Combat Round.

Not all Stances end the warrior's turn - some Stances, such as Frenzy, provide their bonuses (and negative effects) for the warrior's current turn as well as the rest of the Combat Round.

Friendly warriors with active Stances will have a visual effect around their feet as well as an icon above their heads, representing the Stance they are in. Blue icons and a swirl effect represent defensive Stances while orange icons and a star effects show Stances where the warrior is ready to perform an action. Enemy warriors in Stances will display a red circle visual effect around their feet, but it will not give any indication as to which Stance they are in. Enemies will also not display Stance icons above their heads - so be wary when approaching enemies!
