When a set number of charges accumulate, she responds by upgrading her fundamental attack. Furthermore, based on her Shifu’s (teacher’s) Path, her assaults may acquire additional perks. For example, those following the Destruction, Erudition, or The Hunt paths can amplify certain attacks to inflict extra damage. In contrast, Shifus adhering to the Nihility, Harmony, Preservation, or Abundance paths can intensify the vulnerability reduction of specific attacks.
