Evidence: 3 community-reported · Last verified: 2026-11-14 · Sources: 1
Tachi is a sword used in a community guide to climb Akayuki’s bamboo parkour course after repeated attempts with the EI sword proved difficult. The guide reports switching to Tachi for its greater poise recovery, making it an option to try if managing poise is disrupting your climb.
When to Use Tachi
Consider trying Tachi if you are struggling with the bamboo course while using the EI sword. The guide specifically describes the EI sword’s dash as very long and difficult to use for this parkour, then switches to Tachi after repeated unsuccessful attempts. This is a reported experience with that course, not evidence that Tachi is universally better for movement or combat. [src-356d0a0244]
The stated reason for choosing Tachi is its greater poise recovery. No numerical recovery value is provided, so use this as a practical equipment suggestion rather than a precise stat comparison.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1. Switch to Tachi if the EI sword is causing problems
If you are attempting the bamboo climb with the EI sword and its long dash is making movement difficult, try switching to Tachi. This follows the adjustment demonstrated in the guide rather than continuing to repeat the same approach with the EI sword. [src-356d0a0244]
The available evidence does not establish that Tachi is required to complete the course. It supports Tachi as an alternative used successfully during the demonstrated climb.
2. Try unequipping your sword to reduce jumping costs
The guide also recommends unequipping your sword to make jumping consume substantially less poise. This is a separate adjustment from selecting Tachi: switching swords is presented as a way to improve poise recovery, while unequipping is presented as a way to reduce the poise spent on jumps. [src-356d0a0244]
No exact reduction or required timing is supplied. The excerpt does not explain whether you should unequip before every jump or only during particular sections, so it does not support a more detailed equipment-swapping sequence.
3. Continue climbing toward the top of the bamboo
After explaining the switch to Tachi and the unequipping tip, the guide shows the player nearing and then reaching the top of the bamboo. Use those equipment adjustments as options for continuing your own attempt, rather than as a complete route description. [src-356d0a0244]
The excerpt does not identify individual platforms, jump directions, dash timings, or checkpoints. It therefore cannot support a jump-by-jump solution to the course.
Tips for Managing Poise
- Distinguish recovery from spending. Tachi is chosen for its reported poise recovery; unequipping a sword is recommended to lower the poise cost of jumping. These address different parts of poise management. [src-356d0a0244]
- Treat the recommendation as course-specific. The comparison concerns difficulties with the EI sword during bamboo parkour, not a general ranking of Akayuki’s swords. [src-356d0a0244]
- Do not assume Tachi changes every movement property. The guide explains why the player switches, but provides no Tachi dash distance, jump-height bonus, or other movement statistics.
Skin and Reward Context
The demonstration appears in a guide about obtaining the “Shoots and Leaves” skin. After reaching the top, the creator displays the skin and describes its appearance as green and jade-like. This is context for the parkour demonstration, not an explanation of how to obtain Tachi itself. [src-356d0a0244]
The creator also reports receiving “250” on return visits to the top after obtaining the skin, but is unsure whether this happens every time or every other time. The excerpt does not identify what the 250 represents or establish a reliable payout schedule, so do not treat it as a confirmed farming reward. [src-356d0a0244]
Evidence Limits
This Tachi recommendation comes from a community guide. The supplied information does not explain where to acquire Tachi, its price, its requirements, or its combat stats. Its supported use here is narrower: try it as an alternative for bamboo parkour when the EI sword’s long dash is proving difficult, with greater poise recovery as the guide’s stated reason for switching.
