Tell and response
| Attack cue | Response |
|---|---|
| Glinting sword dive | Dodge sideways; track the follow-up crescent waves even after she passes behind you. |
| Dancing slashes | Parry on the landing rhythm or leave range; do not swing into the aerial setup. |
| Sonic blades into red beam | Defend blades first, then R1 the separate red attack. |
| Thrusting sequence | Guard all hits, including the last ranged blade. |
| Red grab | R1 prevents the grab and leaves a punish window. |
| Leaping slam | Time the landing dodge; block only with enough Sha-Chi. |
| Second-phase fissure | Shattered-glass cue means lateral dodge; crescent waves may follow. |
| Three palms | Guard two, dodge the third. |
| Iron/Jade helpers | Track the helper while preserving a view of her; back out of overlapping chop and kick attacks. |
| Close-range pressure | First phase favors her side; second phase needs shorter turns while helpers are active. |
Keep the punish repeatable
Start with a short punish and extend it only after confirming recovery. Stop early when Sha-Chi runs low, and keep tracking hazards, follow-ups and helpers. Unpublished resistance values are not invented.
