On some maps, freeze for Harmonic Combos (Forest: Some immune, some not). Straggler: Recharge Chi by stepping forward, hitting twice with Spirit Thief, then repeat. Position the current target between you and other enemies, rather than being flanked. Tumble or jump and stagger them before attacking. Stick to them like glue until dead! Evade while attacking (Leaping Tiger is great for this). Toggling between Spirit Thief and martial, will suffice for toggling and recharge Chi.
