if you dont have [Primed Reach] and not using the Naramon focus tree you can swap it for [Drifting Contact] by moving [Quickening] to the V polarty and placing Drfiting contact where [Quickening] was before.

I prefer using [Twirling Spire] stance because each of the initial combo will have a 100% chance to apply an extra status which useful for Condition Overload and Healing Return. This stance also causes to do multiple chain hits for only a few key pressed.
