Strategies to beat them
Pick the one that fits your playstyle. We only recommend gear you can have by the time you reach the Mirage Estate.
Fast weapon strategy (one-handed and dual)
They are fast opponents: do not chase the long combo. Land two or three hits and back off before they respond. The best options here are Sundering Dual Axes and Seamless Death. Punish Yuding from behind after her spins and Qiu Feng after parrying his mask sword, and keep your other weapon in reserve: switching restores all your Sha-Chi.
Heavy weapon strategy (two-handed)
Against such fast opponents, use heavy hits only after a parry or a perfect dodge. Try Juggernaut or Crescent Blade. The Outlaw Warblade restores health on hit, ideal if you struggle to survive.
Elemental strategy (exploit their weaknesses)
They are weak to lightning. Equip:
- Lightning: Thunder Spear (Chang Hong’s Phantom Edge, which also paralyzes); Baishan Stormswords (Yubi’s dual weapons).
Recommended combo: soak the boss first with You Loong’s Deluge and finish with the Thunder Spear. The Wet status increases lightning and ice damage.
Defensive strategy (parries and dodges)
The most dangerous attack is Yuding’s wind push that leaves you suspended in the air: learn its animation and always dodge it. Parry every blue flash to drain their Sha-Chi without spending yours, and execute as soon as they are stunned. If you are struggling, the Counterstrike Bracers accessory (first Long Pillar) rewards parries.
Phantom Edge strategy
Bring the Bashpole to break their guard or defenses and, if the summon icon glows in the arena, Inanis’ Radiant Fan to help you hold out 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
Crescent Blade and Wraith Mask.
