Key Tips
Speedrun build: Zhanxue Blade + Qingshan Brush can one-phase the boss in ~1m49s. Golden Jade Hand for control after charges is highly effective.
Phase P1
Overall Strategy
Maintain ~3 body-lengths distance. Boss uses fan as main weapon in P1, relatively easy to control. Look for openings after his combos.
