Which claws stance is better for Garuda Talons?

Finally managed to craft Garuda, but never used any claws weapons before, which of 3 stances is better?

Malicious Raptor got a Finisher combo in there and is what I like to use since it's satisfying to throw people. ( If you do the finisher to humanoid )

The other stances, is kinda preference. I just like Malicious Raptor better.

Check wiki to see which guaranteed procs each stance does and any multipliers. Play with all the stances to see if you can easily string the combos together. Also, so combos make attacking flying enemies easier, which may matter to you.

Or if you rather not, malicious raptor is not a bad choice.

There is no obvious best one there, each has strengths.

Vermillion Storm has multi hit combo that works well with status weapons such as her Talons, do not really feel that weapon needs to force status as you get A LOT of it, and from all 3 ones it has the most forward movement.
Majority of hits in it's combos have multipliers ranging from 110-150% damage per hit
It has forced bleed too.

Malicious Raptor has that forced bleed but apart from that I find combo's quite hard to make use of. Combo with finisher is fun but majority of enemies die before that so....
There is satisfaction moment with finishing Bombard but you do not meet those and it is questionable if you will make it there to kill it or Saryn already skillfully clicked 4 and you are swinging against some air....

Four Riders seems to have highest damage multipliers per hit but executing hits feels slower.
It has highest damage hit of 540% damage.
Worth noting that each combo starts with forced impact proc which will stagger enemies.
Only one who has 200% damage on slide attack, but claws have low range so slide is not really...

I run Vermillion Storm as I find it just fluent with what I want to do, with other two I end up wasting too many swings because movement is very limited. Multihit deals more than enough procs.
That will change with Melee 3.0 tho.
Then it will be time to revisit those choices.

Thank you for your detailed opinions. Try to buy/grind both raptor and storm and test it in action

Four riders, not even any contest tbh.
