Press Shift to morph into eagle form, gaining 0.3 seconds of invulnerability. Dash through a flurry of blades, dodge fatal strikes, seize control of the battlefield like a force of nature, and max out your combat thrill! More than just an escape tool, this mechanic can be combined with combos for mind-blowing maneuvers, adding a new layer of strategy and excitement to close-quarters combat.<h2 class="bb_tag" ><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/5cf142a2ea1267a9abbbb48516954653.poster.avif?t=1770897422" width=1170 height=634 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/5cf142a2ea1267a9abbbb48516954653.webm?t=1770897422" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/5cf142a2ea1267a9abbbb48516954653.mp4?t=1770897422" type="video/mp4"></video><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/c68170c0e9d2ed76231c2fe384180296.webp?t=1770897422" width=1170 height=55 /><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/52f7ca4fa23d2d0988c1db03bb044fb5.poster.avif?t=1770897422" width=1170 height=634 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/52f7ca4fa23d2d0988c1db03bb044fb5.webm?t=1770897422" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/52f7ca4fa23d2d0988c1db03bb044fb5.mp4?t=1770897422" type="video/mp4"></video><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/c68170c0e9d2ed76231c2fe384180296.webp?t=1770897422" width=1170 height=55 /><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/7ea2c6161bd5a530d512f3b523b6e628.poster.avif?t=1770897422" width=1170 height=634 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/7ea2c6161bd5a530d512f3b523b6e628.webm?t=1770897422" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/7ea2c6161bd5a530d512f3b523b6e628.mp4?t=1770897422" type="video/mp4"></video><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/c68170c0e9d2ed76231c2fe384180296.webp?t=1770897422" width=1170 height=55 /><video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/e20b025b4f351f972fe749540a4cb0a2.poster.avif?t=1770897422" width=1170 height=634 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/e20b025b4f351f972fe749540a4cb0a2.webm?t=1770897422" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/e20b025b4f351f972fe749540a4cb0a2.mp4?t=1770897422" type="video/mp4"></video><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/63ee31eb3b4a835cd928a4937bd37678.webp?t=1770897422" width=1170 height=55 />【Demo Accessible Stages】</h2>This demo features 7 core stages:Level 001 (Tutorial) | Level 002 (Horde Challenge) | Level 004 (Horde Challenge) | Level 005 (Boss Battle) | Level 008 (Special Story) | Level 009 (Elite Showdown) | Level 026 (Boss Trial)Diverse scenarios and difficulties deliver an immersive Wulin adventure.<h2 class="bb_tag" ><img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4256700/extras/63ee31eb3b4a835cd928a4937bd37678.webp?t=1770897422" width=1170 height=55 />【Pet System Launch Content】</h2>The demo debuts 1 pet—agile in appearance, it provides combat support (buffs &amp; healing assistance).
