Excellent stance.

I was never really Dual Swords user to begin with. I appreciate very good stats many of them have, but I've never felt comfortable with any of the previous stances. Crossing Snakes is just bad and pause combo has some really awkward hitboxes. I don't like all that fancy waving around Swirling Tiger pause combo (most essential combo of the stance). I've always wanted to slash, chop, stab, not to dance macarena with swords/axes. Carving Mantis finally did that. It may not be as quick as Tiger, but its moveset consists of well paced, methodical strikes and it seems to have quite a lot forced slash procs. It feels right and gave an entirely new life to the lovely Prisma DC.
