What this fight tests

Multi-target management. Elite swordsmen in a Big Dipper formation, with a marionette transformation in the second phase.

How to beat Seven Judgments

  1. Kill order and revive priority beat raw damage. Decide who dies first before the fight starts.
  2. The formation is the mechanic. Breaking it — pulling one member out of position — is worth more than any single punish.
  3. Phase two transforms the survivors into a marionette. Re-plan at the transition instead of continuing the phase-one route.

The loop underneath all of it is the same one every boss uses: parry the blue flash, Ghoststep the red one, drain Sha-Chi, then punish the stagger with Power Surge. Phase transitions are invulnerable — heal and reposition instead of swinging into them. And dying in a later phase restarts you at that phase, not at the beginning, so you can throw attempts at the hard half.

The mistake most players make

Treating it as seven duels. It is one fight with seven bodies, and the formation is what kills you.
