Drinking and combat states
Bottomless Drink uses L1 + Triangle to restore Sha-Chi and enter Tipsy. Hold the input to restore more Sha-Chi. Tipsy changes attacks into Flying Sword attacks, whose damage falls over distance, and normally ends after 15 seconds.
State | Drink Until Dawn input and result |
|---|---|
Sober | L2 spends 1 Sha-Chi Essence for an unblockable Flying Sword Flurry, then enters Tipsy. |
Tipsy | L2 spends 1 Sha-Chi Essence to enter Drunk for 20 seconds. |
Drunk | L2 performs an unblockable Empowered Flying Sword Flurry without spending additional Essence, then returns Soul to Sober. |
While Drunk, Soul has greatly restricted mobility and cannot use ordinary L1 blocking. He automatically dodges incoming attacks, and Flying Sword damage rises substantially. Drunken Counter is a separate timed L1 response to a blockable attack: Soul evades, drinks and counterattacks.
