Covert Stance

Covert Stance is one of 's aura s in Xenoblade Chronicles. It reduces Sharla's current aggro and prevents her from gaining more during its effect.

Overview
The initial drop in aggro provided is good as a "get off me" manoeuvre, but the aura's real power is in giving Sharla a chance to do whatever without generating any aggro at all. It takes a bit to set up, so if someone badly needs healing right now it's probably not a good idea to wait until this activates, but if it can be pulled off it makes for a great way to avoid attention. It's probably better-used before a chain attack to hide from the aggro generated from damage.

Note that Cool Off will interrupt aruas, so it is not a good idea to use this one if heat is high, unless Sharla really badly needs to hide right now.
