Black Wind King Boss Fight and Guide
The Black Wind King is a formidable opponent with a diverse fighting style, he has 2 combat phases.
In phase 1, the Black Wind King will mainly use his spear to attack. His attacks include:
Jumping Spear Thrust: He jumps up, gathers power into his spear, and thrusts straight down to the ground. Three-piece Combo: A series of consecutive attacks, usually ending with a sweep or a strong thrust.
Fire Breath: He drinks wine from his gourd, then breathes out a large stream of fire in front of him. Kick and Charge: He kicks you, then charges with his spear, causing continuous damage. Twirl three-piece bomb: he spins and launches three consecutive attacks, the last one is a strong slam. Super high knee seven hit combo: launches a high kick, then hits 7 times in a row.
The strategy in phase 1 is to keep a medium distance, not too close and not too far. Take advantage of Resolute Strike opportunities. This is an important skill, allowing you to block the opponent’s attack and counterattack immediately. Use skills and spells wisely, don’t waste them. Always pay attention to your stamina bar. Don’t run out of stamina when you need to dodge.
In this phase 2, the Black Wind King will become more “magical”, as he begins to use his Black Wind power frequently. This makes him more unpredictable and dangerous.
Black Wind Form: He turns into a black whirlwind, moves quickly around, and attacks you. Teleport Combo: He disappears, then reappears instantly in a different location and attacks you with a chain of combos.
Length Combo: A complex chain of attacks, including pushing, spear thrusting, jumping up, slashing down, and finally slamming down to the ground, creating an explosion. Shoulder charge: He will gather force and charge straight at you with his shoulder. Spear overhead drama: An overhead attack with the spear.
Projectile: Fires a stream of energy from the spear.
The strategy in phase 2 is to be more careful, concentrate more and react faster. The Black Wind King‘s attacks in this phase are much more unpredictable. Take advantage of the Red Tides Transformation Spell (if you have it). This spell helps you deal massive damage when the Black Wind King reappears after transforming. Attack immediately after he finishes his attacks and reappears. Don’t miss any opportunity.
When you have defeated the Black Wind King, he will temporarily retreat and leave behind a part of his power. You will receive a new spell: Cloud Step.
