What is Collapse (Qingxian) in NTE? How to trigger Break?

Collapse (Qingxian) is a core combat mechanic in NTE, similar to a "break gauge" or "stagger meter" in other games. Every enemy has a hidden Collapse gauge that fills as you attack. How to build: 1) Normal attacks and skills fill the gauge; 2) Perfect Dodge boosts accelerate gauge filling; 3) Attribute-counter attacks fill the gauge faster. When fully charged, enemies enter a "Break" state — taking significantly increased damage and unable to act. Exploiting the Collapse mechanic combined with attribute counters is key to efficient combat.
