To clear the 10-player Level 91 Kaifeng Imperial Palace raid in Where Winds Meet update 1.7, your raid group must assign strict movement roles for ground AoE indicators, send debuffed target players to the outer edges during specific boss phases, and prepare gear stats through the Xiaying progression system.
Handling Tianlu and Wangyue Chanyuan Mechanics
The encounter revolves around two core phase mechanics: Tianlu and Wangyue Chanyuan. Managing spatial awareness during these sequences prevents immediate party wipes.
Executing the Tianlu Phase
During the Tianlu sequence, the boss broadcasts ground visual prompts for area-of-effect (AoE) attacks across the arena.
- Watch Ground Signals: Designate a raid caller to spot indicator patterns on the arena floor as soon as the boss casts the ability.
- Maintain Spacing: Keep distance between party members to avoid chaining overlap damage when the AoE strikes.
- Time Defensive Cooldowns: Trigger defensive abilities immediately after the boss finishes its central broadcast, protecting the group when secondary damage risks are highest.
Managing the Wangyue Chanyuan Phase
The Wangyue Chanyuan phase places targeted debuffs on specific players, shifting the objective from group stacking to controlled kiting.
- Move to Arena Edges: Afflicted players must move outward immediately, keeping secondary damage effects away from healers and primary DPS dealers in the center.
- Sustain Damage Uptime: Targeted players should use long-range skills or mobility attacks while repositioning to keep damage on the boss.
- Assign High-Mobility Kiters: If coordination fails, assign roles specifically to high-mobility classes to keep the middle zone clear.
Raid Requirements and Xiaying Progression
Successfully clearing the Level 91 instance requires proper raid composition and prerequisite progression.
| Focus Area | Requirement or Action | Tactical Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Interrupt Callers | Assign at least 2 players | Monitor animations and interrupt channelled boss attacks |
| Stamina Management | Conserve mobility pools | Ensure active dodges remain available for attacks below 20% boss HP |
| Role Optimization | Critical hit multipliers (DPS) / Defensive stats (Tanks/Targets) | Prevents wiping against late-fight attack speed increases |
| Xiaying System | Run Xiaying (侠境) and Baiye Xiaying (百業俠境) | Upgrades gear and internal power levels before attempting the raid |
Completing introductory tiers of the Xiaying (侠境) system—specifically Baiye Xiaying (百業俠境)—is mandatory for reaching the stat baselines needed to survive late-fight damage spikes in the 10-player Kaifeng Imperial Palace raid.
