1. **What are Stances?**
   * Different **Stances** have strengths and weaknesses against certain other stances.
   * The stance hierarchy is as follows:

     * **Counter Master > Stamina Burner > Stunner Hunter > Lucky Puncher > Counter Master**

2. **Upgrading Stances**

   * Players can use **Skill Points** to **Upgrade** their Stance.
   * Upgrading the Stance will increase its overall power and improve its effectiveness against specific stances.

3. **Skill Synergy**
   * Matching a **Stance** and **Attack/Special Skills** of the same color will increase the effectiveness of the **Attack/Special Skills**.
