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.
