Alt quality[ | ]
In its phantasmal quality: "Creates 0.05 fewer Spikes, Creates 0.1 additional Spikes if you've changed Stance Recently" if you stay between 10-19% quality, you will not get one permanent fewer spikes while still having an additional Spikes if you've changed Stance Recently resulting in an always better case than going for 20% on this alternate quality.
