Sha-Chi and Ghoststep

Demo
Updated 2026-07-14Version: Hands-on demo

Summary

Previewed combat resources and counter movement: blue Brutal attacks punish blocking, red Killer attacks demand evasion.

  • ShaChiStamina-like resource

  • RedCueKiller attack
  • GhoststepReward for correct timing

PC Gamer describes Sha-chi as a stamina-like combat resource. Blocking a blue Brutal attack drains a large amount of it, but parrying that attack can trigger Ghoststep behind the enemy.

Red Killer attacks cannot be blocked or parried in that preview build. Dodging them with last-second timing can also trigger Ghoststep, turning defense into repositioning and offense.

Names and tuning may change before release, but the color-cue idea is important for guide writing.
