Final Fantasy Type-0[]

Swiftwind Stance is an ability initially known by Eight. He shifts to a simple stance and performs combos with / (and optionally by tilting the left analog stick upwards/to the left/to the right).

Swiftwind Special requires 2 AP and is available after learning Swiftwind Stance. Eight will strike the ground during a combo by tilting the left analog stick downwards and pressing /.

Swiftwind Stance: Power ↑ requires 4 AP and is available after learning Swiftwind Stance. It increases the power of the series of punches in Swiftwind Stance.

Swiftwind Stance focuses on quick and fluid attacks that work well with timing and pacing. Their attacks use movement and aerobic activity, and many of them also work to reposition Eight after their execution. While basic and fast to perform, they require accuracy to land and a good eye to estimate their range and trajectory.

• Standing still and pressing its assigned button gets Eight to hold firm to the ground and execute a series of rapid punches. Holding the button continues the assault indefinitely until the button is released or if Eight is hit with a strong attack.
• Holding forward and executing the attack has Eight sprint and leap before using the momentum to perform a sliding kick. While the jump removes the opening framespan before the actual kick registers, the move itself can also be used to help maneuver Eight around the battlefield, making right use of it more effective.
• Holding left or right and executing the attack has Eight jump and perform a spinning roundhouse kick. It is especially useful for closing distance on flying enemies and pushing back foes.
• Holding down while executing the attack has Eight leap up and slam the ground with his fist, sending out a shockwave and a geyser of dust in a wide area. Along with crowd control, it also registers as a strong attack, capable of knocking down enemies and forcing them out of an attack.
