Why pick this faction

  • Very flavorful, very punishing.
  • Injury and recovery planning are mandatory.
  • Save for a later run unless you love chaos.

Who this faction is for

Pick it only on a later run, once you can read recovery and pacing. Avoid it as a first faction; injury and recovery planning are mandatory and it is very punishing.

Sanguine Sect route notes

  • Sanguine Sect is strongest when you commit first to fist or finger instead of sampling every attractive manual at once.
  • Use Sanguine Devouring (血食功) as the first comparison point, then add the other representative arts only when they reinforce the same combat plan.
  • 35/100 beginner fit means the faction is better after you understand range, recovery, relationships, or another supporting system.
