Entanglement Gauge

Accuracy pass follow-up: caught a remaining FP terminology mismatch in the body.
The 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.
Beast 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.
Entanglement 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.
Fuel Points. Koo's resource, used to spend on commands from Koo's Command System. See Fuel Points for the full breakdown.
Source | Effect |
|---|---|
Successful parry | Primary fill source. Each successful Parry System pushes the gauge upward and stacks with Spirit Stones effects fired on the same exchange. |
Melee aggression | Sustained katana pressure contributes secondary gauge fill, which rewards staying inside the enemy's reach rather than chipping from outside. |
Taking calculated risks | Pre-release framing describes the gauge as filling fastest when the player accepts close exchanges rather than playing defensively from range. |
Aspect | Entanglement Gauge (Emma) | Fuel Points (Koo) |
|---|---|---|
Owner | Emma | Koo, but spent on commands Emma issues. |
Fills from | Parries and melee aggression. | Parries and active engagement; the same actions that drive the Entanglement Gauge also pay into Fuel Points, which is why the parry system anchors the entire economy. |
Spent on | Emma-side amplifications and combat-flow extensions. | Plant-ability commands from Blooming Arts via Koo's Command System. |
Because 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.
Burst pivot. Pair the gauge with Critical-Rate-leaning Spirit Stones and a fast Katanas 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.
Specific gauge values, decay rules between fights, and the exact menu of Emma-side spend options have not been published in detail. What has been shown is that the gauge is the Emma-side of the hybrid economy that Koo's Command System pairs with, and that the parry system is what makes the entire economy run. Expect this article to grow once the launch build exposes the gauge's UI numbers and the spend menu in full.
