How to Beat Tian Ying in Where Winds Meet
For defeating Where Winds Meet Tian Ying, there are multiple ways. However, there some techniques which you can perform in order to beat the boss in easier ways.
Phase 1: Meridian Touch
When Tian Ying lifts his staff and it glows gold, he is about to unleash a powerful shockwave that can deal massive damage. Using the Meridian Touch mystic art is highly recommended. It can interrupt the shockwave while he is channeling and knock him down for a few seconds.
Keep in mind that Meridian Touch has a 10-second cooldown. Therefore, if it is not ready, make sure to stay at a safe distance when he performs the shockwave.
Phase 2: Statue Attack
In Tian Ying’s second phase, he will eventually float into the air and use the Buddha statue behind him to launch a series of wide AoE attacks across the arena. Staying on the sides of the arena puts you in a blind spot. This strategy helps you to avoid these attacks.
From the side, you can also safely use ranged attacks. Just be careful not to move toward the center because the Buddha statue can still reach you there.
Phase 3: Clones
In the third and final phase, Tian Ying can summon three clones that attack you at the same time. He occasionally strikes from your blind spot. The best strategy is to ignore the clones and focus on parrying Tian Ying’s attacks. Each successful parry will eliminate one clone from the field.
