Level gates and upgrade effects
Temper: guard while broken by paying HP; 5: hold Triangle charged heavy; 10: cheaper blocking; 15: Square after Triangle fires waves; 25: timed L1 special block then Triangle counter.
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.
