Dawn Warriors have two stances: Falling Moon (unlocked in 2nd job) and Rising Sun (unlocked in 3rd job), which change your attack skills aesthetically and functionally, as well as give you different damage boosts; Falling Moon will reduce your damage while doubling your attack count, as well as increase your critical rate; Rising Sun will increase your damage and attack speed. In 4th job, you will receive the skill Equinox Cycle, which will allow you to use both Falling Moon and Rising Sun skills interchangeably, as well as receive the boosts from both stances at once. These boosts are further enhanced by Master of the Sword.
