Finding Tian Ying’s Location
You only need to complete some prerequisites in the Qinghe region before you can face Tian Ying. One of these is to accumulate 6,000 Qinghe Exploration points through exploring the area and completing activities. After teaching the threshold, go to Wayfarer in Sundara Land to accept the side quest, The Promised Light.
The boss fight will take place at the bottom of the area upon arriving at the quests. Once you defeat Tian Ying during the story mission, you may start playing his Campaign version on your map. This will let you challenge him again at different difficulty levels by spending 20 Energy Points per attempt.
Essential Preparation and Strategy
However, you have to prepare thoroughly before you engage with Tian Ying. These are some preparations you can do to ensure you win against Tian Ying in Where Winds Meet:
-
- Stock up on your healing items through visiting the Clinic or crafting your own supplies.
- Then, upgrade your healing capabilities as much as possible.
- The fight may take several minutes, or longer, which may lead you to running out of healing resources.
- Bring an excellent companion during this encounter like Yuan Jin’gang for his Qi damage.
- Alternatively, you can bring another Healer, Damage Dealer, or Qi Breaking NPC.
- Make sure you have Meridian Touch Mystic skill during the fights to cancel Tian Ying’s Golden Pulse attack during Phase 1.
Phase 1: The Staff Master
During the opening phase, Tian Ying relies heavily on his staff and golden energy attacks. So, watch out for his Golden Pulse that occurs when his staff glows gold before hitting the ground. Then, use Meridian Touch to interrupt this channeling and knock him down.
Retreat immediately or use your Umbrella to hover above the danger zone while your skill is on cooldown. Also, focus on defensive play to avoid his staff combos that can ultimately eliminate you. Keep your distance as well when facing Tian Ying in Qinghe region, using the Spring Sorrow Attack.
Phase 2: The Sand Golem Emerges
Onto the next phase, Tian Ying’s Sand Golem increases the complexity of their fight. His attack style shifts to martial arts combination, launching devastating AoE attacks. Be wary during this phase as Tian Ying floats in the air due to his Planetary Devastation attack.
Immediately head towards the sides of the arena which serves as the blind spots for massive incoming damage. Also, the Asura Rush is the only red-glowing attack during this phase. So prepare to dodge after seeing the red glow to avoid being grabbed.
Phase 3: Shadow Clones
In its final phase, Tian Ying will highlight its assassin techniques by summoning sand clones. These clones will aggressively pursue you while trying to strike from unexpected angles. Also, make sure to ignore those clones entirely and rather focus on his attacks.
Do not get disturbed by his teleportation abilities and instead wait for Tian Ying to come to you. You have to rely on wearing down his Qi Meter if you do not have the red acts for perfect parry.
Conclusion
Tian Ying serves as the final boss in the Qinghe region of Where Winds Meet. This assassin boss challenges players, especially their dodging skills, across varying attacks. Make sure to prepare extensively to guarantee success in your encounter!
