String Puppet Boss Phase

What is String Puppet?

String Puppet is phase two of the Seven Stars encounter, not a disconnected boss invented from trailer footage. S-GAME says the surviving disciples suspend their leader on crimson threads and manipulate him like a marionette. His aerial movement becomes erratic and his attack patterns harder to anticipate.

The official article frames observation and the use of openings as the answer to this faster duel. It does not name individual attacks or give exact punish windows, so this reference stops at that sourced tactical principle.

How many phases are officially described?

Seven Stars has two officially described phases. Seven Stars Sword Formation is the opening group phase; String Puppet is explicitly the second phase. No third phase is described in the cited source.

Who is the puppet in this phase?

The official wording distinguishes the surviving disciples from their leader. The survivors manipulate their leader, suspending him on crimson threads. “String Puppet” names the phase presentation; the article does not introduce String Puppet as a newly named character with a separate biography.

That distinction prevents two common roster errors: treating the phase label as an additional unrelated person, or treating every surviving disciple as an individually named boss. The confirmed entity remains the Seven Stars encounter, now changed by the losses and transition from its formation phase.

What is confirmed and what is not?

The official phase description covers the crimson threads, the surviving disciples, the suspended leader, erratic aerial motion and the order of the phases. Health, weakness, resistance, arena, recommended level, drops and weapon reward are not in it.

The weapons overview explains the sourced boss-to-weapon structure without assigning an unnamed weapon to String Puppet. The official content status records why such blanks remain visible before launch.

Because the official article calls this a high-speed duel, it supports a change in rhythm from the coordinated group phase. It does not support claims about difficulty settings, damage, or the number of attempts players should expect. Those would require released-game observation and should be labeled separately when available.
