Level gates and upgrade effects
5: L1+Triangle whirlwind; 10: execution threshold>75%; 15: sweeping clashes build 25s Blade Force; 25: spend full Force for enhanced whirlwind; 30: execution threshold>50%. Executions spend all Sha-Chi and lock swapping 15s.
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.
