To clear the 10-player Xiajing raid in Where Winds Meet version 1.7, your group must bring a full 10-player team featuring at least two dedicated healers, kite Tianlu's unblockable slams to the arena perimeter, and use crowd-control skills on Wangyue Chan-yuan whenever her energy gauge flashes.
Boss Mechanics and Response Comparison
| Boss | Core Threat | Telegraph / Signal | Primary Counter | Team Positioning Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tianlu | Unblockable slams and sweeping strikes | Heavy strike sequences and high-mobility charges | Save stamina for emergency dodges; avoid locked cast animations | Bait attacks to arena edges; clear center for melee DPS |
| Wangyue Chan-yuan | Phantom clones and ritual attack buffs | Energy gauge flashes or changes color during tell animations | Apply heavy break-damage or crowd-control skills immediately | Keep camera zoomed out; ping safe zones to prevent stacking |
Defeating Tianlu
Tianlu relies on high-mobility sweeps and unblockable slams that wipe clustered teams.
- Bait Heavy Attacks: Position designated players along the outer perimeter of the arena so Tianlu directs sweeping strikes away from the team.
- Keep the Center Clear: Retain the central arena floor as an open zone so melee DPS can rotate in and out safely without taking stray area-of-effect damage.
- Manage Stamina: Preserve your stamina bar specifically for dodging unblockable slams. Do not cast martial arts with long stationary animations while targeted.
Defeating Wangyue Chan-yuan
Wangyue Chan-yuan alters the encounter pace, shifting focus from constant movement to timed interrupts and crowd control.
- Monitor the Energy Gauge: Assign one or two group members to watch Wangyue Chan-yuan's energy gauge throughout the fight.
- Break Ritual Animations: When the energy gauge flashes or changes color, she will attempt ritual sequences or summon phantom clones. Hit her immediately with your strongest crowd-control or break-damage skills to stagger her before she finishes.
- Prevent Attack Buffs: If the ritual sequence completes uninterrupted, Wangyue Chan-yuan gains a severe attack buff that renders her subsequent strikes nearly unsurvivable.
Team Composition and Role Execution
Because Xiajing scales health pools for a full group regardless of active players, enter with a complete 10-player roster.
- Tanks: Cycle defensive cooldowns continuously on the front line to absorb sustained pressure.
- Secondary DPS: Rotate into attack range only when bosses are locked into long animation frames.
- Healers: Reserve cleanse abilities for phase transitions to remove ticking status debuffs before damage overwhelms the group. Assign at least two players strictly to healing and support.
- Tactical Communication: Keep your camera zoomed out to track floor telegraphs past large boss hitboxes, and use in-game pings to mark clear safe zones.
Managing Phase Transitions and Enrage Timers
As boss health decreases, attack intervals shorten and boss aggression increases.
- Save Burst Skills for Stun Windows: Unleash high-damage martial arts rotations only when a boss is stunned or interrupted to maximize damage output within tight timers.
- Enrage Point: Taking too long to hit health thresholds causes the bosses to enter an enraged state with elevated movement speed and damage output. If your group repeatedly hits the enrage timer, upgrade your gear level and optimize attribute allocations to meet the version 1.7 stat baseline before re-entering.

The tips are practical and easy to follow.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
