Usage

In combat, Tai Chi pulls and whirls an enemy, lets you aim with the camera, then hurls them for damage. The longer the target stays lifted, the more damage it does, up to 300%. Against Shield-Bearing Enemies, which are protected from the front, it removes their shield and deals a large bonus hit, so it is the answer to enemies your normal attacks can't get through.

Out of combat it doubles as a world tool: it gathers fallen leaves in certain areas, makes fish leap when used on water, and in Hexi a shortcut key reverses resonating objects to their former state. You learn it during the main quest A Bear of a Time by using Skill Theft on the Bear.

Hold the lift for longer before throwing to push the damage toward the 300% cap. Upgrading Tai Chi uses Vicious Fruit, so stock up if you plan to level it.
