Swordsmith Villa route notes
Swordsmith Villa is strongest when you commit first to sword or blade instead of sampling every attractive manual at once.
Use Zhanlu Sword Art (湛卢剑法) as the first comparison point, then add the other representative arts only when they reinforce the same combat plan.
82/100 beginner fit means the faction is better after you understand range, recovery, relationships, or another supporting system.
