Stances is are a type of battle enhancement in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Future Redeemed.
Overview
Stance effects are temporary positive or negative effects applied to players or enemies. Certain Arts can apply Stance and a few Accessories grant Stance duration extension. They are somewhat similar to Status Effects.
Unlike Buffs, Stance effects remain active even when the character gets Incapacitated. Enemies can also have Stances, in addition to a unique Stance type known as their Enraged state.
