Added the total capacity Expand Entanglement Gauge grants and the per-rank chance on Instant Entanglement
11The Entanglement Gauge is Emma's combat resource layer in Beast of Reincarnation. It builds as she trades blows and parries in melee, and once filled it unlocks Emma-side combat options that compound the rest of her parry-driven kit.22Role in the Hybrid Combat System44Beast of Reincarnation pairs Emma's real-time katana combat with Koo's command-driven plant abilities. Each side of the duo has its own dedicated resource.66Entanglement Gauge. Emma's gauge. Fills through engagement in melee, especially clean parries and aggressive trades. Sits on the player's side of the screen during combat.FP. Koo's resource, used to spend on commands from Koo's Command System. See the FP page for the full breakdown.88How It Fills1010SourceEffectSuccessful parryPrimary fill source. Each successful Parry System pushes the gauge upward and stacks with Spirit Stones effects fired on the same exchange.Melee aggressionSustained katana pressure contributes secondary gauge fill, which rewards staying inside the enemy's reach rather than chipping from outside.Perfect dodgeA perfect dodge, timed against an attack that flashes red and cannot be parried, also builds the gauge, so the two defensive options both pay into it.1212What the Gauge Is Spent On1313The gauge has three sinks in the shipped game, and traversal is not one of them. A filled gauge pays for Emma's Nushi Skills, for her Blade Arts, and for Entanglement Overdrive.1515Entanglement Overdrive1717Overdrive is the headline spend. It slows time around Emma, and it needs at least one full blue bar to start. It is not available from the beginning: it has to be unlocked in the skills menu, it sits on the Strength attribute, and each of its five levels asks for more Strength, from 7 at level 1 up to 18 at level 5. Reaching level 5 also unlocks Execution Assist, which has Koo execute nearby enemies whenever Emma executes one.1919The duration scales with how much gauge is spent, at roughly 1.8 seconds per bar, and it can be cancelled early with the same input that started it, which is how players bank the remainder for a later opening. On controller the input is both sticks pressed together.2121Skills That Change the Economy2323SkillRequirementEffectExpand Entanglement GaugeEntanglement Overdrive level 1Adds gauge capacity across five ranks, which is uptime rather than raw powerInstant EntanglementEntanglement Overdrive level 2Chance to refill the whole gauge on defeating an enemyEntanglement Gauge RecoveryEntanglement Overdrive level 3Chance for a normal attack to restore 0.3 of a bar, 5 percent per rankRecovery BoostEntanglement Overdrive level 3Chance to restore a full bar for Emma and a point of FP for Koo when a foe dropsEntangled Follow UpTracking Shot level 1Restores 0.3 of a bar whenever Koo lands a follow-up attackEntangled ShotTracking Shot level 5 with Overdrive level 5Ranged attacks trickle the gauge back during Overdrive24+SkillRequirementEffectExpand Entanglement GaugeEntanglement Overdrive level 1Adds gauge capacity across five ranks, seven bars in total, which is uptime rather than raw powerInstant EntanglementEntanglement Overdrive level 2Chance to refill the whole gauge on defeating an enemy, listed at 10 percent per rank across three ranksEntanglement Gauge RecoveryEntanglement Overdrive level 3Chance for a normal attack to restore 0.3 of a bar, 5 percent per rankRecovery BoostEntanglement Overdrive level 3Chance to restore a full bar for Emma and a point of FP for Koo when a foe dropsEntangled Follow UpTracking Shot level 1Restores 0.3 of a bar whenever Koo lands a follow-up attackEntangled ShotTracking Shot level 5 with Overdrive level 5Ranged attacks trickle the gauge back during Overdrive2525Spirit Stones plug into the same economy. Entanglement Increase gives a small chance to return 0.2 of a bar and a point of Koo's FP whenever Emma exploits an elemental weakness, and the Entangled family of stones, Parry, Dodge, Riposte, Combo, Counter, Conquest and Assassination, each hang an effect off the gauge being active.2626Entanglement Versus FP2828AspectEntanglement Gauge (Emma)FP (Koo)OwnerEmmaKoo, but spent on commands Emma issues.Fills fromParries and melee aggression.Parries and active engagement; the same actions that drive the Entanglement Gauge also pay into FP, which is why the parry system anchors the entire economy.Spent onEmma's Nushi Skills, Blade Arts and Entanglement Overdrive.Plant-ability commands from Bloom Arts via Koo's Command System.3030Build Interactions3131Because parries fill both gauges and trigger Spirit Stones effects on the same beat, an Entanglement-focused build is functionally a parry build. The katana's tempo dictates how often the gauge ticks up, and the Spirit Stone slate dictates what each tick is worth.3333Burst pivot. Pair the gauge with Critical-Rate-leaning Spirit Stones and a fast katana so the gauge fills during a damage spike window.Sustain pivot. Pair the gauge with HP/Defense Spirit Stones and a mid-speed katana so the parry rhythm doubles as healing pressure on the trade.Range pivot. A bow/crossbow-led build slows the gauge dramatically; Entanglement-focused players have a strong incentive to stay inside melee range rather than kiting.3535Still Unrecorded3737The gauge's decay rules between fights and its exact numeric ceiling before the Expand upgrades are not stated anywhere in the interface, and no official document covers them. Everything above the skill descriptions themselves is read from play.
