Panel and recorded level

Inputs and core loop

Standard Square route: ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢

Sha-Chi Triangle route: △ △ △

Swap-in or blue parry summons a golden sword. Triangle summons a delayed sword after 3s; unblocked swords lodge 20s; five lodged swords explode. L2 spends one Essence.

Level gates and upgrade effects

Temper empowers the next stance summon after sword burst: 5 guns/flaming hammer/dart umbrella. 5: L1+Triangle stance dodges a timed hit; holding drains Sha-Chi, being hit spends all to evade; Square summons 3 guns. 10: embedded enemies take more damage; 15: stance Triangle hammer; 25: stance Circle umbrella. Each summon once per stance.

Practice order

Start with a short Square chain to judge reach and recovery, then add Sha-Chi attacks and finally the special state or timed input. Swapping restores Sha-Chi but has a cooldown; executions may add a separate 15-second swap lock. Compare matching upgrade levels and change your damage plan when the target is immune.
