How do you get Qi?

[MidnightMist]

I unlocked the ability to consume Spirits, and I got the headbutt move that costs a crap ton of Qi...how do I get Qi though? I cleared two areas since that point and the bar is only half filled.

By attacking enemies or resting at shrines.

as mentioned attacking enemies should help you with that as resting but 1 more thing is you can add some transformations makes you gain more QI

Attacking and resting... another option is upgrading the spirit, upgrades reduces the Qi consumption, making it charge faster. As well as increasing the dmg and the passive stat boost. Eventually you will get more options like using an item that refills it.

resting in shrine will get u full qi to begin with.

during the fight

ur attack/s will generate qi for spirite and also ur focus points

i believe it generates same amount each hit. so "multiple hits move" speed up generation. the more hits u able to do the higher possibility to use them more often in fights

Qi is generated per hit so Mobile Spin is very good for it. As others have stated there are drinks and maybe medicines that can help with it. Upgrading spirits also reduces their cost so you can refill them faster.

I beat the game ages ago and still couldn't ever really generate Qi consistently lol. Thanks for the responses though.

Qi is charged per bonk.

there is gear, drinks and maybe soaks not sure for soaks later in the game for it
