Mechanic I - Sword Might: After entering combat, a Sword Might gauge will appear at the bottom of the screen.
Strategy: Taking damage from Karutsuna reduces Sword Might. Parrying his Sword Qi or using Sprint skills to increase Sword Might. When Sword Might reaches 70% or higher, you enter a state of High Sword Might, gaining significant ATK SPD and Movement SPD.

Mechanic III - Resonant Wall: Karutsuna jumps backward, and a yellow shield appears in front of him.
Strategy: Do not attack Karutsuna from the front, as this reduces your Sword Might. Attacking from behind grants a significant amount of Sword Might.

Mechanic I - Sword Dance: When Madam Gongsun performs her sword dance, situations will arise requiring three players to stand in designated circles.
Strategy: Pay attention to the proportion of black and white within the circles. If white dominates black, then 2 players who have picked up white orbs and 1 player who has picked up a black orb should move to the circle. If black dominates white, then 2 players who have picked up black orbs and 1 player who has picked up a white orb should move to the circle.
Mechanic II - World Enchant: Full-screen damage skill.
Strategy: Sylphs should use the skill Heart's Vow, or players can use their own break free skills to resist the DMG. There is no need to dodge this skill.
Mechanic III - Stage 3: When Madam Gongsun's HP falls to 35%, she will enter Stage 3, and the arena will shrink further. When she casts skills, clones will also appear and cast alongside her.
Strategy: Sylphs should use the Heart's Vow to prevent player casualties.

Rumor has it that a skilled craftsman in the martial world unexpectedly discovered a connection among these four upgraded Relics. He is now gathering resources to research the possibility of "Four Blades into One," aiming to craft an ultimate weapon that embodies the "full strength of A Duel of Blades"...
