Guard Stance Advance doesn't work with IC, unless both I messed up testing and the tutorial prompt about class modifiers not affecting it is lying. The poster above also doesn't want to dispute the actual strength of the PA, regardless of how the first part of his post sounds.

Maybe you and Reilet need to do more testing or be a better Hu but that PA is not trash by any means, it literally shot Hu to the top 3 classes right now

Sword>Partisan>WL

Not Hu main myself but id like to say you basically use sword for everything but id like to say use Partisan for mobbing too. WLs are still an option fot mobbing but currently hearing theyre in a hard place atm

What's your problem? I like the PA and recognize the power, just saying that GSA modifier doesn't affect it.

huuh vantpers only confirmed that guard stance advance doesn't impact the PA damage, he didn't state anything about PA's strength and whatnot. Rellet also closed his post with 'it's a nice burst option", which vantpers wanted to highlight. Tbh I also agree power-wise the PA isn't exactly a revolution altho it's most definitely a significant buff. What seals the deal is the bonkers AoE it has, really. It's so significant in Endless because previously, HU had lots of trouble vs specific spawns that couldn't be dealt with Nifta, and IC just fits very very nicely in those situations

@cluster.
Basically HU weapons are all-rounders, but each has a special field they excel in.
-Sword is a balanced weapon that uses Ignition Parry against agressive bosses. using weapon action during PA animation right as an enemy hits you will significantly power up the PA to reach absurd numbers. The more of them you can churn the more insane your damage becomes.

-Partisan is more bossing oriented but handles mobbing just fine with giant cleaves like slide end and tear grid, as well as sacred skewer 0 being a very decent projectile. Volg is paramount for dishing as much damage as possible against slower bosses or during stuns. You have many possible combos that are listed here (and many more good things, give it a read if you got time https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...xHLB2VFMk/edit)

-WL's bossing is on the lower end, but mobbing is strong, in large part due to Other Cyclone 0 craft making the PA very damaging while covering a large area, while expanding very little PP. Downside is WL is very vulnerable overall so you'll probably need life leech, damage reduction or something similar to not kill your mates at the speed of light. You will typically use this against very resilient mobs or cluster of mini-bosses.

For now I'd say start exploring your favourite weapon and then just try using one weapon at a time until you can reach a state where you can use all three. In the end if you want to be able to tackle every situation you'll kinda need all of them !
