Strategies to beat them
Pick the one that fits your playstyle. We only recommend gear you can have by the time you reach Meigu Lake.
Fast weapon strategy (one-handed and dual)
He is a fast opponent: do not chase the long combo. Land two or three hits and back off before he responds. The best options here are Parting Hooks and Sundering Dual Axes. Punish after his ice combos and keep your other weapon in reserve: switching restores all your Sha-Chi.
Heavy weapon strategy (two-handed)
Against such a fast opponent, use heavy hits only after a parry or a perfect dodge. Try Outlaw Warblade or Armybreaker. The Outlaw Warblade restores health on hit, ideal if you struggle to survive.
Elemental strategy (exploit their weaknesses)
They are weak to fire, ice and water (wet). Equip:
- Fire: Fire Meteor (Blaze’s Phantom Edge, in Pangzhen); Flaming Mane (Phantom Edge Lei Dang repairs after you beat Flame); Goldblaze (fire Phantom Edge Zhang gives you for the Pangzhen relics); Blazing Edge (tempering of Sanguine Reach with half of the Flaming Grip).
- Ice: you will not have gear of this element yet; if you come back later, use Whiteshadow (two-handed weapon from the Blizzard Blademaster, in the Phantom Illusionist Ruins).
- Water (Wet): You Loong’s Deluge (You Loong’s Phantom Edge in Pangzhen); Loong Trident (Phantom Edge from the frenzied You Loong).
Recommended combo: the Wet status (You Loong’s Deluge) also increases ice damage.
Defensive strategy (parries and dodges)
The most dangerous attacks are the Blizzard Blademaster’s freezes: learn their animation and always dodge them. Parry every blue flash to drain his Sha-Chi without spending yours, and execute as soon as he is stunned. If you are struggling, the Counterstrike Bracers accessory (first Long Pillar) rewards parries.
Phantom Edge strategy
Bring the Bashpole to break his guard or defenses and, if the summon icon glows in the arena, Swordsman’s Summon so someone distracts him while you heal. Remember that sparks recharge when you rest at a bell: spend them freely on the boss.
If you get stuck
- Upgrade your two main weapons before coming back (the boss is level 23).
- Level up your medicines with the healer at the Green Serpent House once you have him.
- Drop to Wayfarer: it does not affect any trophy and you can raise the difficulty again later.
Recommended gear
- Your two main weapons upgraded as far as possible.
- A guard-breaking Phantom Edge (Dread Axe, Iron Gauntlets or Bashpole).
- Upgraded medicines and, if the boss is weak to an element, the gear from the elemental strategy.
Rewards
Whiteshadow, Embroidered Shoes and Scorching Flames.
