If you’re here, you’re probably wondering about something in relation to Combos & Stances in Bless Online. We will also be talking about “combos” (Stance-chain Skills) as well as upgrading them.
Leveling up? Check our Bless Online Leveling Guide!
What are the various effects of Stances in Bless Online? They basically each have a passive, a “conversion” effect, as well as determining various attacks available to you.
Passive: Each stance grants considerable passive effects while in use.
Conversion Effect: Switching to a stance, you gain a temporary buff as well.
But for the MOST PART, Stances determine your “basic attacks”. Each stance has Stance-Chain Skills, and each Stance-Chain Skill branches out into further combos. It’s kinda hard to explain in words but this picture about sums it up.
How many Stances can I equip? Two. Which means you will have 6 possible “basic attacks”, that branch into at least 12 possible combo chains. You unlock more stances and combos as you level up.
I know you’re curious at this point so let’s have a look a quick look at the Class Stances.
Bless Online: Stance Summary for all Classes
Here’s a rundown of all the classes Stances. We will do “the best we can” for now.
NOTE FOR ALL TABLES
I will “retranslate” these into legit text since the current translation is horrible. Also, we will improve the formatting on some of these. Any info on them would be nice.
Also, some are outright WRONG or buggy/duplicate tooltips. Help us out, man.

Stance & Skill Combo Upgrades w/ Sapphire
You can upgrade any stance or skill with Sapphires. Click on any skill to see the “left” tree, and the “right” tree. YOU CANNOT INVEST IN BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SKILL TREES. You gotta go all in to one of ‘em.
“What skill tree upgrade is better for my skill?” Well, I can’t really help you there. It really depends on the totality of your build, and your goals of the build. While some trees might have an “obvious” pick, others are a little more nuanced.
“Where do I get Sapphire?” You’re given a small amount to start out with in the early quests, but after that I’m gonna have to get back to you on that one.
Summary and Closing
With the stance and combo system alone, there is quite a bit of character customization going on already – and I love it when a game allows me to make a build suitable to my goals. I hope that answers any questions you have right now about Combos and Stances in Bless Online!
Good Information, Thank you. I was looking for where to get more Sapphires when I found your page.
