Prompt (original, unmodified)
The female elf warrior has platinum-blonde hair, a gothic-inspired outfit. Keep one identical female elf warrior throughout. She holds one glowing katana in her right hand. Exactly 8 armored robots enter over time. Every stroke hits exactly one target. Electric spark and debris releases, and individual defeats. No multi-target cut; shockwaves move dust only. Each next robot actively attacks, guards, evades, or intercepts. The camera stays close, following with smooth handheld sidesteps, retreats, arcs, drops, rises, and pivots. It travels toward each flash destination without snapping, resetting, teleporting, or hiding a cut. Keep warrior, robots, background, debris, hair, cloth, fluid, and particles sharply resolved. SEQUENCE: ONE CONTINUOUS SHOT Beat 1 / 0-3s: Rear 3/4 WS, follow behind the female warrior into a sunlit battle already in progress. The robots occupy successive depth pockets, not one flat crowd; only nearby attackers are readable. Robot 1 charges while she forms the opening anticipation pose. Beat 2 / 3-10s: CONTINUE SAME SHOT through Robots 1-4. Follow attacks from alternating sides with physical sidesteps and arcs. Perform four fast but separate vanish, follow, reappear, single-target cycles using different techniques. Preserve each crisp contact, green-fluid release, recoil, and fall before the next attack. End with four defeated as 3 more robots attacks from behind. Beat 3 / 11-15s: CONTINUE SAME SHOT through robots 5-8. Pivot around the female warrior to catch the rear attack, move ahead, backpedal while leading, then arc around as threats enter from different directions. Show four more individual attacks and one-robot punches in a changed order. She appears only in sharp anticipation, contact, and finishing poses. End with 8 defeated robots.

How this prompt compares
The techniques this prompt uses are more common in fantasy prompts than in the library overall:
| Technique | In fantasy | Library average | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| orbit | 22% | 14% | 1.59x |
| wide shot | 34% | 26% | 1.3x |
Across all 5,926 prompts, the techniques used here appear at: tracking 41%, natural light 29%, wide shot 26%, handheld 24%.
The 15s duration is not arbitrary: 71% of the prompts in this library that state a duration ask for exactly 15 seconds — Seedance 2.0 accepts clips up to 15 seconds, so 15s is the model's ceiling and the most common choice.
