How to re-bind ghost stance?

[Smartik1]

I've lost track just how many times I got hit and lost my ghost stance charges while trying to activate it. V+ALT is a horrible key bind that makes you let go of literally all your char controls whenever you want to press it.

Any idea how to change it / what bind do you use?

If I wanted to use controllers, I'd have played this on a console years ago :) I play on PC specifically for kb/mouse. Most games let you rebind keys yourself. This one uses quite a few hard coded shortcuts. I can deal with most of them, but this one is just far too inconvenient.

I am facing the same problem. If you find any solution for this please let me know

If you have a mouse with additional buttons, try binding ALT to mouse 4.

you're stuck to it being special ability key + dodge key
one improvement you can do though is you can assign a secondary key to one or both of these keys that you don't normally use for them (that you don't even use for dodge etc.) and then you can use the combo of those two keys for ghost stance if that somehow makes it easier for your particular config.

Thank you guys both, I havent thought about setting Mouse 4 as secondary keybind. Hopefully it works because V+Alt is very awkward, it doesnt even work with Alt as first key pressed and has to be in that particular order.. Its weird that neither Suckerpunch or Nixxes thought about setting up such simple QoL change as ability to change that keybind.

This wouldnt bother me too if we only had ability to transmog armor but welp, you cant have it all lol

This might help: install autohotkey (google for it, github). This can bind any key on your keyboard to a key sequence. I am still experimenting so not sure if this works.
Create a text file called "valt.ahk" (or any name) I have it on my desktop so its easy to reach. In it put the following text:

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

; Disable Alt+Tab

;!Tab::Return

; Disable Windows Key + Tab

;#Tab::Return

;RWin::return
LWin::return
LWin Up::return
;RWin Up::return

Tab::
{
Send "{v down}" ; Press and hold the "v" key
Send "{LAlt down}" ; Press and hold the "Left Alt" key
KeyWait "y" ; Wait until the "y" key is released
Send "{v up}" ; Release the "v" key
Send "{LAlt up}" ; Release the "Left Alt" key
}

+Esc::ExitApp ; Alt-Esc to Exit script

to activate this simply double click on the file. To disable it, press alt-esc

Step 1: Buy a gaming mouse with side buttons if you don't have one already (I use Logitech G102)
If you're a gamer that doesn't have a gaming mouse, you're not a true gamer

Step 2: Unbind the secondary buttons for "Select Stance" and "Select Quickfire Weapon" (use Backspace to clear). Now you have both side buttons free.

Step 3: Change "Dash or Dodge" secondary button to a side button (doesn't matter which)

Step 4: Change "Special Ability" secondary button to the second side button

And now...
Activate Ghost Stance: Press both side buttons at the same time. You're welcome!

Sorry for being late to the party but I just picked up the game for PC and ran into the same problem. I couldn't find another solution so I used Autohotkey to remap it to the middle mouse button and remapped the focus key.
Here's the macro I used:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe GhostOfTsushima.exe

*MButton::
{
	sendInput {v down}
	sendInput {LAlt down}
	sleep 1
	sendInput {v up}
	sendInput {LAlt up}
}
return
