Ash of War: Overhead Stance

Overhead Stance puts you in a ready stance with the blade raised high. A normal attack from the stance steps in with a downward slash, while a strong attack unleashes a string of downward slashes. It grants the Keen affinity, so Dexterity players will feel at home.

It is made for great katanas only.

It comes fitted on the Great Katana, which lies in the middle of the lake between Belurat Gaol and the Abandoned Ailing Village in Gravesite Plain. A sleeping Ghostflame Dragon guards it. Smithing Master Hewg can duplicate it for Lost Ashes of War.

Notes & tips

  • Pick normal or strong attack from the stance depending on whether you want one big hit or a flurry.
