Walkthrough

1
Preparation: Bring plenty of healing items, including Elixirs and Regeneration Talismans. Equip Fire Talismans to exploit Yuki's weakness.
2
Arena Advantage: Utilize the icicles scattered around the arena. They can be used to shoot ranged projectiles, aiming for headshots to deal significant damage and stagger Yuki.
3
Combat Strategy:
4
Close Range: After Yuki's basic two-hit Halberd Combo, get in one or two quick hits and be prepared to dodge her follow-up Ice Stomp.
5
Ice Stomp: When Yuki stomps, creating an ice circle, you have a brief window to dodge. Once the ice effect appears, you can safely walk forward into the affected area to land a few attacks before she recovers.
6
Ice Breath: Dodge to the side of her Ice Breath attack to avoid continuous damage and the Water status effect. This creates an opening for counterattacks.
7
Ice Shots: Be aware of Yuki's three variations of Ice Shot. The slowest version fires 3-4 homing icicles. Blocking these can consume significant Ki.
8
Living Weapon: Once Yuki's Stamina bar is depleted or she is below half health, activate your Living Weapon. This is an opportune moment to inflict heavy damage and potentially break her stance.
9
Staggering: String quick attacks together when Yuki is in break mode to further reduce her health.
10
Learning Curve: Yuki's moves, particularly her Ice Charge and various Ice Shot attacks, may require a few attempts to master. Understanding the range of her Ice Charge can turn a dangerous attack into a counter opportunity.
