Ki Pulse
Ki Pulse can recover part of the Ki spent on combat actions when used during a brief post-attack window. The source describes it as central to managing combat flow.
How it works
The wiki says attacking, blocking, dodging, and sprinting drain Ki, which otherwise refills automatically based on stats. After attacks, a brief window marked by swirling blue light allows a Ki Pulse to regain part of the expended Ki. It also describes skills that can extend Ki Pulse to actions such as dodging or switching stances.
When it helps
If Ki use limits your follow-up actions, learn to recognize the Ki Pulse window and consider skills that let you pulse during actions you already use. The source does not promise a fixed recovery amount for every move.
The tradeoff
Ki Pulse requires acting within a brief window after combat actions, and the passage says timing varies by move.
Your next step
Watch for the blue light after an attack and try the Ki Pulse input during its brief window.
