Crimson Dervish is a Stance for swords, specializing in strong spinning attacks that can hit adjacent enemies or deal multiple strikes against a single foe, sacrificing mobility and speed. Combos executed in this stance are notable for their high damage multiplier.

Can be equipped on:

*Denotes weapon with matching stance polarity

Template:StanceCombos

Notes

The first three combos deal 200% bonus damage on the three initial attacks, for a total of 300% total damage.
The final strike of Coiling Impale will prompt a Counterattack finisher, effectively adding one more hit to the combo.
Counterattack finishers from the front also have the additional effect of knockdown, prompting a ground finisher.
The combos for this Stance slow the weapon's attack speed greatly. This does not affect quick-melee.

Tips

Twisting Flurry and Coiling Impale can be initiated by holding down their respective combo buttons first - Back and RMB respectively - then pressing E repeatedly. This makes them easier to initiate than many other combos.
The final strike of Coiling Impale has a very small hit box and as such it is recommended to use melee auto-targeting to ensure a hit.

Trivia

The name of the mod is probably a reference to the Turkish dance of the Whirling Dervishes.
Crimson Dervish was a reward on a 24-hour alert on Friday, 12 September 2014 as part of the "Back To School" Special Alerts Week.
