Level gates and upgrade effects
Temper builds Freeze through blocks; 5: L1+Triangle pommel hit then frost-charged next strike; 10: faster Freeze; 15: frost strike restores Sha-Chi; 25: Triangle dashes to a nearby frozen target.
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.
