— In-game description

Crushing Guilt is an effect applied to the player character in Shining Blade Secrets by visions of their allies. The Manifestation will have stacks of Guilt Exploitation applied to it equal to the number of stacks of Crushing Guilt applied. However, after the player reaches 25 stacks the Manifestation's stacks will be reduced to one and will no longer increase.

Notes

• All stacks of Crushing Guilt and Guilt Exploitation will be removed by using Minor Breakthrough.
• Each stack gives the player an increasingly ghostly effect until they resemble the Manifestation at 25 stacks.
• The Warrior minor talent Fast Hands in the Discipline tree overwrites the weapon swap cooldown, setting it to 5 seconds regardless of how many stacks of Crushing Guilt the player has.
• Items and skills that regenerate health passively such as Mango Pie or Healing Signet can tremendously help you survive the fight if you're struggling to survive.
