The Sifu age system is a core mechanic that will strongly influence how you fare during a playthrough, by repeatedly bringing you back from the dead but making you older as a cost of using this power. The strategy you take with this process is a balance of risk versus reward, as you want to eliminate as many enemies as you can to maximize your XP earned, but the more fights you enter the greater the chance of your persistent death count increasing. Getting older has both benefits and drawbacks, which aren't exactly obvious when you first experience it, so we're here to explain how the Sifu age system works so you can plan your approach accordingly to avoid reaching your twilight years too soon.
