There are ten stances in all, each based on one of the [[Ten Essences]]. A stance describes a general fighting style and tactics, rather than specific sword movements.{{book ref|sa2|14}}

 

An ancient [[Knight Radiant]] from one of [[Dalinar's visions]] remarks that [[Dalinar]]'s stances are unfamiliar to her, so the stances have likely evolved over time.{{book ref|sa1|19}}

 

Windstance uses sweeping, broad strokes that flow from one attack to the next. It is a two-handed stance with the body turned sideways, elbows bent and the tip pointed up and back over the head. The sweeps are majestic, and come from multiple sides. Sometimes they are small, quick blows that are meant to unnerve their opponent; other times, the sweeps are wide.{{book ref|sa1|58}}{{book ref|sa1|19}} Windstance is the best stance to use against multiple opponents{{book ref|sa2|56}} and can cause many casualties on battle field with its wide sweeps; it is very poor at parrying,{{book ref|sa1|68}} though it does have some defined sweeps for doing so.{{book ref|sa2|53}}{{book ref|sa2|57}} This is [[Adolin Kholin]]'s favored stance{{book ref|sa2|14}} and the most familiar one for Dalinar as well.{{book ref|sa1|19}} Since it relies on mobility more than strength, Adolin plans to teach it to [[Shallan]] early on when he is teaching her swordfighting.{{book ref|sa3|15}} It is very popular among the Alethi in general.{{wob ref|4358}}

 

Smokestance is a fluid, one-handed stance that has the blade forward, tip pointed at the heart of their opponent, and one foot placed ahead of the other. Smokestance is better than Windstance for fighting with an imperfect weapon. The key in this stance is to stay in motion at all times. While the blade may move in a whirlwind, it focuses on thrusts rather than sweeps and slashes. One variant of Smokestance is a sword and dagger stance, which uses the dagger primarily as a second line of defense.{{book ref|sa1|19}}

 

Flamestance is an aggressive, sometimes frantic one-handed stance. Unlike other stances, the posture of Flamestance involves squared-off feet. The blade is held in one hand, with the other hand resting on the blade. The stance is favored by those with shorter Shardblades. It is defined by furious constant attacks, but is weak to disarming as a result of the one-handed grip.{{book ref|sa2|14}}{{book ref|sa2|84}}

 

Vinestance is a defensive stance that focuses on defensive footwork and flexibility.{{book ref|sa2|57}} It is slow and steady, but has sudden, quick lunges.{{book ref|sa2|56}} [[Relis Ruthar]], the former Alethi dueling champion,{{book ref|sa2|37}} prefers this stance.{{book ref|sa2|56}}

 

Ironstance is a strong stance with a two-handed grip, sword held next to the head, and uses strong overhead blows.{{book ref|sa2|14}}

 

Stonestance is a form that relies on raw power. The stance involves holding the sword in front, arms fully extended, tip pointing straight up. On offense, the focus is on delivering as much momentum as possible in each blow; a characteristic strike, for example, involves jumping up, lifting the blade behind the head, and making a diagonal downward cut. When on defense, the stance relies on staying immobile and is one of the few that uses parrying. Since it doesn't require much strength to cut most things with Shardblades, this stance is largely impractical when not fighting a Shardbearer.{{book ref|sa1|58}} Stonestance is considered the immovable stance and provides solid footing in combat.{{book ref|sa3|26}}{{book ref|sa3|120}}

 

Bloodstance is a stance in which the wielder doesn't care about getting hit, mostly used in desperate circumstances.{{book ref|sa3|26}}
