Seven Stars Sword Formation

What happens in Seven Stars Sword Formation?

Seven Stars Sword Formation is the opening phase of the Seven Stars boss encounter. S-GAME describes seven swordsmen acting as one unit, alternating coordinated group assaults with individual strikes. The official explanation also says their tactics adapt in real time.

This page does not turn that description into an unsupported move list. The source does not provide attack names, damage values, timing windows, weaknesses, or a guaranteed sequence. “Adapt in real time” is best treated as an official description of variable tactics, not evidence for a specific hidden system.

How many phases are officially described?

The complete Seven Stars encounter has two officially described phases. Seven Stars Sword Formation is phase one. String Puppet is explicitly introduced as phase two, when surviving disciples manipulate their leader on crimson threads.

That structure matters for roster accuracy: Seven Stars is the encounter, while Sword Formation and String Puppet are its two named phases. They should not be added together as three unrelated full bosses.

What does “seven swordsmen move as one” confirm?

The phrase confirms a multi-opponent formation and coordinated behavior. S-GAME specifically contrasts group assaults with individual strikes, so the opening phase is not described as seven isolated one-on-one fights. It also says tactics adapt in real time, which supports variability but does not reveal how the game chooses an attacker or whether a fixed rotation exists.

The mechanic is clear enough to describe; the frame data is not published and does not appear here.

What is still unknown?

S-GAME has not published phase-one health, weaknesses, resistances, location, recommended level, drops, or a formal strategy. The combat systems guide explains the confirmed dodge, deflect, counter, and strike loop without pretending it is a phase-specific solution. The official content status tracks the larger disclosure boundary.

The official article presents the footage as an unedited, complete combat sequence. That makes it a strong source for phase order and visible encounter structure, but it still does not substitute for a released-game strategy guide. Post-launch testing can add timings and repeatable counters once those observations can be clearly labeled as testing rather than developer statements.
