How to change your stance in Lords of the Fallen
Here is everything you need to know about changing your stance in Lords of the Fallen so you can be prepared for every enemy and scenario in the game.
Every weapon in Lords of the Fallen allows you to use it with two different stances - either one-handed or two-handed, and we are here to explain how to change between them. When deciding which one is best at any given time, one-handed is often faster but does less damage, whereas two-handed does more damage but takes a little more time.
Switching up your stance in the game can go a long way to helping you against certain enemies or against hordes. A sweeping attack when using your weapon one-handed may become a stab when it’s two-handed - so it will constantly keep you on your toes and switching can offer great advantages overall.
So, here is all you need to know about switching your stance in Lords of the Fallen, regardless of your weapon.
How to switch your stance
In order to change stance in Lords of the Fallen, you just need to press Triangle / Y on your gamepad, or '1' on keyboard. It's pretty simple to do, but with so many different buttons and mechanics, you will absolutely be juggling to keep on top of your enemies.
Personally, I would suggest opting for the single-handed stance when perusing the world in order to have more speed against multiple enemies - although it can depend on the weapon you're using. A sweeping move will always be useful against hordes. When fighting bosses, though, going for a two-handed stance will help you make sure you're dealing maximum damage where it counts.
