Did some extensive testing for this stance in regards to special effects:

If equipped -> The two basic strikes trigger the melee-mini-stagger (great for stunlocking).

True Kiss -> The third (and final) strike always procs Impact

The remaining combos -> ALL -added- attacks proc Impact, with the exception of the forward combo's last hit, which ragdolls instead.

Quick melee with this stance -> It does the 2 strikes right after the pause in the pause combo, which also means 100% impact-proc on both attacks. HOWEVER, since they do not trigger the melee-mini-stagger, and since impact-procs are animation-locked + have a tiny re-application cooldown, your enemy is almost always gonna NOT be stunlocked with the quickmelee, and thus almost ALWAYS retaliate with a melee weaponbash (if they are humanoid that is). If you are looking for a dual dagger to stunlocking with in quickmelee, Gnashing Payara's quickmelee is vastly safer against singular targets.

So, for the safest stunlocking procedures with this stance: EQUIP the weapon so you get the mini-melee-staggers from the basic combo constantly going on the enemy.

Further: The ground finisher and chargeattack guarantees slash-procs, but that goes for all dual dagger stances.
