- Scarlet Spin lights up at the Perfect Catch timing — the sound cue helps too.
- Use Flute of the Tides on packs; damage is highest near the edge of the circle.
- Use Charging Stance in downtime to recover HP or Qi.
- Calmwaters heals you on Perfect Dodges — learn the boss dodge timings.
- Song of Tang turns into HP drain below 50% HP, so it doubles as sustain.
