Skills
Water Wheel
Water Wheel requires Water Mastery 27 and nine skill points. A quick press goes directly into the wheel, while holding the move adds two sword slashes before the wheel. Use the short input for the immediate attack and practice the longer sequence when you can stay near the target.

Meet both Water Wheel requirements
Water Mastery 27 is a branch-specific counter, not character level 27. Enough mastery also does not pay the nine-point cost.
- Progress through Urokodaki's Water Breathing training and connected Water nodes.
- Raise Water Mastery to 27 and keep nine unspent skill points.
- Select Water Wheel, read any remaining condition, unlock it and verify its combat-bar input.
Compare a quick press with a held press
These are two inputs for one Water Wheel skill, not separate purchases. Check your current bindings and test both against an ordinary target to recognize the transition.
| Input | Attack sequence | Practical use |
|---|---|---|
| Quick press | The wheel attack begins without the extra opening slashes. | Use when you want the move to start immediately. |
| Hold | Two sword slashes precede the wheel finish. | Practice when you can remain close enough for the longer sequence. |
Recheck position after the wheel
Follow the target visually through the full animation. If the initial slashes or final wheel miss, reset your spacing before spending another cooldown. Compare the short and long versions in a safe fight rather than assuming either one always holds a moving boss in place.
