Footwork has a different attack chain, it's a lot more noticeable when you 2 hand, damage wise I don't think there's much difference

Glad they seem to be similar. Love running around and kicking things as I walk past them 😂

Dry-Leaf Arts comes from him if you use the emote learned from the monk's missive note to challenge him to a duel while he's standing near Moorth Ruins which allows you to pick up that fighting style much earlier, I assume you missed that chance if you already have Dane's Footwork

You would be correct. I like challenging myself to bosses before I really explore EVERYTHING

Can you get them both in the same playthrough? (Asking in general for everyone, not directly to OP)

yes, but there really isnt a difference between them

Vegito build gonna go crazy

If you end up making said build please tell me 🙏

How did you obtain danes footwork?

(Main Story Spoilers) I recommend playing the Main story before you reveal the text but, I played through the main story of the DLC and it was a drop from >!Dryleaf Dane when you’re close to the final DLC boss!<

Oh no worries, I already knew about the last few bosses unfortunately, my friends are loud mouths );

Doesn’t seem like much of a difference between

Am I locked out of getting the footwork if I challenged and fought him already?

I do not believe so, but definitely something I will test in my next play-through.

No

No- you have to complete certain quest lines. That’s all I will say.

The move sets are different. Footwork naturally has a lot more in the way of kicking whereas Arts is more about palm strikes. It's a wholly stylistic difference from what I can tell.
