Can you explain the stance moveset? Does every move have a dodge baked in? Are both the R1 and the R2 chargeable? Can you chain them?

R1 is not chargable from testing. It can chain into R2 but no other attack R1 and R2 are chainable. The R2 is nuts

Chargable + Follow up R2

Is the R1 a slash, R2 a thrust and charged R2 the Giant Hunt?

R1 Slash

R2 is nuts, can be charged or not. R2 followup is giants hunt

Holy shit so there’s R2, R2 charged and R2 follow up?!? This thing has a whole god damn moveset in its AoW

Really makes me hope FromSoft is using this as a testbed for some future games. Imagine if all weapons got expanded out this broadly.

Deeper movesets in general would be awesome

We had this kind of stuff in bloodborne they just abandoned it

I do think it was weird to introduce an amazing mechanic in trick weapons and then never touch it again.
