Sha-Chi Loop Build

Cycle two primaries so the gauge never runs dry.

The mechanic it is built on

Switching primary weapons fully restores the Sha-Chi gauge, and fast weapons generate Sha-Chi faster than slow ones. So: build the bar on a fast weapon, spend it on a heavy one, then swap to refill.

Strengths

+Turns the weapon swap from a panic button into your refill button.
+Keeps you out of the breached state, which is when bosses punish hardest.
+Scales with Sha-Chi Amber, since a bigger gauge means a longer spending window.

Watch out

−Only works if you actually commit to swapping — sitting on one weapon wastes the whole loop.
−The exact generation rates are not public, so treat the rhythm as a principle, not a rotation.
