Beast of Reincarnation: Where the Guides Contradict Each Other
11 questions about this game that published sources answer incompatibly — the skill route, the boss order, how long it takes, whether the first boss has a second phase. Both sides, dated, with what would settle each one.
Nothing on this page is resolved by picking whichever source sounds more confident. Where one position is better evidenced, the reading under each record says which and why — and leaves the other one standing so you can disagree with us.

Why this page exists
Two wikis outrank this site and neither can publish a page like this
The two sites that dominate search for this game both publish confident single answers with no per-claim provenance and no build stamp — one built its corpus by extracting game assets before release, the other bylines every page to an organisation rather than a person. Neither is shaped to say “two people who played this game disagree, here is both, and here is the clip that would settle it”, because that requires knowing where each claim came from. So when the guides for this game contradict each other — and on the questions below they badly do — the contradiction simply disappears, and whichever page you happened to open reads as settled fact.
Every position below is dated and links to the exact source. Several are creators contradicting themselves or each other after finishing the game, which is the most useful evidence in the set and the easiest to lose.

While Emma is airborne "enemies simply don’t have the solution for it". Scopes a shortened version to regular enemies and the full aerial chain to elites and bosses. Stated at 05:00.
Helm Splitter is "awesome against groups of mobs, and most normal enemies will struggle to hit you while you’re in the air above them, so it’s actually a really safe move to use". Says normal enemies and groups of mobs; does not extend the safety claim to bosses. Stated at 06:00.
Recommends investing heavily in Helm Splitter for "heavy damage to both groups of enemies and bosses", and describes the whole sprout-and-slam style as a good one to commit to. Says nothing about the risk of being in the air. Stated at 03:30–04:00.
Ambitious aerial play "often is more trouble than it’s worth because enemies track you in the air really effectively and their overhead attacks can smack you while you’re up there because you can’t block or parry in the air. It’s actually much safer to stay on the ground all of the time, especially against bosses." Stated at 16:00, after finishing the game.
This record exists because both builds published on this page are arranged around getting Emma into the air, and one source who finished the game says that is the wrong place to be. It matters more than a usual disagreement for that reason: it is not a dispute about which node to take first, it is a dispute about whether our own two build pages are good advice. Reading the four positions against each other narrows it a long way, though, and the narrowing is the useful part. Arekkz and Skill Up are probably not contradicting each other at all. Arekkz scopes his safety claim to "groups of mobs" and "most normal enemies"; Skill Up scopes his danger claim to bosses and says so twice. Both can be true, and if they are, the rule is that height is a crowd-control tool that stops working on the fights it is most tempting to use it in. That leaves the real conflict as RPG Division against Skill Up, because RPG Division is the one who extends the full aerial chain to elites and bosses. On provenance, Skill Up is the stronger of those two: he is describing a completed playthrough including late bosses, where RPG Division scopes his own build to the start of the game and states his own expiry condition at 05:00 — "maybe later on there are going to be other type enemies that will invalidate this combination altogether". That is close to conceding the point in advance, and it is the reason this read leans without resolving. IGN is the position with the least behind it: it recommends the aerial style for bosses and never addresses whether you can be hit up there. One mechanical claim underneath all of this is checkable and unchecked: that Emma can neither block nor parry while airborne. Only Skill Up asserts it. If it is true, the aerial builds carry a cost none of their authors priced; if it is false, his boss argument mostly collapses. Nobody has published a clip of a parry attempt in mid-air, and that clip settles this whole record.
About this register
Because on most of these there is no way to pick correctly yet, and a confident single answer would be a guess wearing the clothes of a fact. Where the evidence does lean one way, the reading here says so and says why — it just does not delete the losing position, so you can check the reasoning rather than trust it.
