      2. Study moveset and parry skills.
      3. Interrupt longer combos with weapon skills (e.g., Nameless Sword's grab, Dual Blades' spinning dash).
      4. Perfect parry red glowing tip attacks for CC and openings.
      5. Save Meridian Touch for her big super attack.

      3. Master perfect parrying or use stamina for running, jumping, and dashing.
      4. Perfect dodge her quick attacks after stealth to slow time for openings.
      5. For her crash down skill, use ranged attacks or a bow with fire affinity.

Strategy:

• In Phase 1, let Yi Dao tank and focus on parrying red attacks and perfect dodging her spinning blade. Use Meridian Touch to counter her jump.
• In Phase 2 (Red Form), prioritize learning her scythe moveset for parries. Use weapon skills to stagger her and interrupt long chains. Exploit openings after perfect parries.
• In Phase 2 (White Form), focus on dodging and evasion. Perfect dodge her attacks after she reappears from stealth to create attack windows. Use ranged attacks when she performs her crash down skill.
• Conserve healing items and be patient. Transitioning between forms can be dangerous.
• Repeat dodging and parrying until the boss is defeated.
