Tushita
Tushita is a Legendary sword from the Third Sea. You earn it by finishing a timed torch puzzle on Floating Turtle and then beating the boss Longma. It has two fast moves, a stunning run of stabs (Z) and a dashing double slash (X).
It is a fast, high-damage sword that suits PvP and Raids.

Quick questions about Tushita
What moves does Tushita have?
Tushita moves, mastery and Instinct
Three slashes, then a lunging stab as the fourth hit.
A rapid run of stabs in front of you. Enemies it hits are stunned. Hold the button to make the run last longer. It finishes with one big stab that reaches further, hits harder and knocks enemies away.
You dash and cut several fast red slashes for high damage, leaving a short-lived X mark where you hit. The move has two separate slashes. If your cursor points somewhere else after the first, the second slash goes that way instead of straight on.

How do you get Tushita?
Tushita is a boss drop behind a puzzle. Finish the torch run in order, then fight Longma.
- Be level 2000 or higher. If you try the gate under level 2000 while rip_indra is alive, the game answers "You're not worthy enough to enter this gate."
- Make sure rip_indra True Form is alive. Anyone in the server can summon him with a God's Chalice (see rip_indra True Form). You only need him alive to get through the gate in step 4; after you are inside he does not matter.
- Go to Hydra Island and walk through the bottom of the marked waterfall. A corridor ends in a stone door. Break it with a move that breaks physics objects, such as the Bazooka M1.
- Clear the Secret Temple. Inside the Secret Temple kill the ghosts, since the passage does not open until you do. Then the second waterfall from the right of the entrance fades away. Take the passage behind it to a massive gate, which opens only while rip_indra is alive.
- Light the five torches. The gate sends you to the entrance of Floating Turtle with a Holy Torch and starts a 5-minute timer. Light the five unlit torches in order. The locations are below.
- Fight Longma. After the last torch a door near the Fishman Captains and Fishman Raiders opens with the message "Well done. You may enter my hideout now." Inside is Longma, a level 2000 boss with 80,000 HP. He drops Tushita at a 100% rate.
Equipping Tushita also gives you the "Celestial Swordsman" title. Full guide: Tushita puzzle.

Tushita torch locations
The first torch sits inside the arches of the bridge near the spot where the timer starts. It is the hardest one to find, so learn it well.
The second torch is behind the tree on the arch of a broken bridge, next to the Beautiful Pirate.
The third torch is in the top house of three pineapple houses above a giant leaf, near the Jungle Pirates and some mushrooms.
The fourth torch is on the shipwreck near the Mythological Pirates.
The fifth torch is on a house near the Forest Pirates.

- Stay alive: you can still be killed during the puzzle, so use a private server or turn PvP off.
- Know the route first: the fog from rip_indra makes the torches hard to see, so learn the five spots before you summon him. If you have no Portal, set your home point on Hydra Island, because rip_indra can be defeated before you start.
- Mind the clock: a message appears with 2 minutes left, and when the timer runs out the torch burns out and the puzzle ends.

What are the best Tushita combos?
Easiest first. Each chain pairs Tushita Z and X with a fruit or fighting style.

- Needs: Electric.

- Keys: Sanguine Art X > Sanguine Art Z > Sanguine Art C > Portal Z > Tushita Z (held) > Tushita X
- Needs: Sanguine Art and Portal.
- Tip: Use X quickly after the held Z so the target cannot hit you.

- Tip: Turn around before the last Sanguine Art X; the rest is straightforward.

Tushita strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
General
- Fast moves with high damage, which suit PvP and Raids.
- Higher damage than Yama.
- The attacks are fairly easy to land even without a stun.
Heavenly Lunges (Z)
- A long stun when the early stabs land, a large area and very high damage.
- The big final stab knocks enemies away.
Celestial Ravager (X)
- Great mobility and high damage from fast slashes.
Weaknesses
General
- Cannot damage players using the Blade fruit.
- Hard to get: a timed puzzle, a boss, and ideally a private server.
- The fourth M1 lunges forward, which makes it harder to grind with.
- Weak at long range.
Heavenly Lunges (Z)
- Holding it too long leaves you open to a counter-attack.
- If the early stabs are dodged, the target is not stunned by the rest of the run.
Celestial Ravager (X)
- The second slash is hard to aim, so its damage varies a lot.
Verdict
Pick Tushita if you want a fast, high-damage sword for PvP and Raids, or if you are heading for Cursed Dual Katana. It costs a puzzle to own and it will not hurt Blade fruit users, so be ready for that.
Tushita tips and tricks
- Do not overhold Z: holding it too long lets your opponent land attacks, so hold it only as long as you need.
- Hold Z, then X: each chain above holds Z first and ends the Tushita part with X, because the stab run is the part that stuns.
