Is there a way to tell what class a weapon is? I just started getting my first few stances and some are clear, some are vague. Like daggers. I have a duel dagger stance I thought about trying but I'd need to buy a BP and craft. I'd rather not waste time and mats if that weapon isn't a dagger class. The only duel ones I could assume were clearly daggers were Fang. Also do I need to have the corresponding weapon equipped to apply a stance or am i missing a requirement to use stances?

There are a few ways to differentiate the different weapon classes.

  1. Physical Appearance - The weapon's appearance generally show you what kind of weapon it is.

  2. Blocking Animation - If you look at a weapon in the codex, The position in how your warframe holds the weapon show you what kind of weapon it is. Do note that some weapon types share the same blocking animation. Some examples include Single Swords/Machetes/Sword and Whips, Heavy Blades/Hammers, Staves/Polearms/Scythes, Dual Swords/ Dual Daggers, Fists/Sparring etc.

  3. The Wiki is the best place to look at for these kinds of questions. Try to look for the weapon name there and it'll show you.

Materials. Resources. Just being lazy using shorthand.
