Where Winds Meet: Level 91 Shadi Jinglei Trial Boss Guide

To clear the Level 91 five-player Sword Trial "Shadi Jinglei" in Where Winds Meet, your team must keep the arena's stone barriers intact to survive the Nameless General's arena-wide lightning wipe mechanics.

Preventing Party Wipes with Stone Management

The primary wipe condition in Shadi Jinglei is the premature destruction of the stone pillars scattered across the arena floor. These stones provide the only line of sight block against the Nameless General's lethal arena-wide thunder charges. If the boss or your squad destroys all available stones before a lightning cast finishes, the entire team wipes instantly.

To preserve stone durability throughout the fight, enforce the following combat rules:

• Face the boss away from cover: The player holding aggro must keep the Nameless General's back turned toward active stones. Normal boss swings and cleaves steadily damage rock durability.
• Direct targeted blasts outward: When red targeting reticles appear on individual players, roll away from stone clusters so splash damage does not chip away barrier health.
• Restrict wide AoE skills near cover: Melee and ranged DPS must avoid using wide-radius attacks that overlap with active boulders.
• Designate a single cover rally point: When the boss initiates an arena-wide charge, call out one specific boulder so all five players shelter behind the same obstacle without collision conflicts.

Nameless General Telegraphs and Counters

The Nameless General relies on heavily telegraphed weapon attacks that punish improper dodges and drain stamina quickly. Track his visual tells to conserve stamina for lightning shelter transitions.

Surviving the Ground Thunder Phase

When the Nameless General points his weapon toward the sky, the arena floor charges with expanding electric circles. Execute the following sequence to survive the burst:

1. Sprint to Cover: Stop attacking immediately and move directly behind the designated surviving stone.
2. Break Line of Sight: Stand close to the base of the rock facing away from the boss without clipping past the edges.
3. Wait Out Residual Static: Do not charge back into melee range immediately after the main blast impacts the rock. Let the floor's electrical discharge completely fade to avoid getting inflicted with paralysis.

Role Responsibilities and the Sub-30% Burn

Coordinate your five-player group around three core responsibilities:

• Aggro Anchor (1 Player): Holds boss threat in the center of the arena, steadily pivoting frontal cleaves away from remaining stone pillars.
• Support and Cleanser (1 Player): Cleanses paralysis and bleed stacks while placing healing fields behind active barriers during thunder phases.
• Burst DPS (3 Players): Depletes the General's poise bar with targeted, single-target skills, reserving wide-area ultimates exclusively for controlled burn windows.

Once the Nameless General drops below 30% health, his attack speed accelerates and the intervals between lightning casts shrink. Hold your high-damage ultimates and poise-breaking tools until this threshold begins. Burn down his remaining health pool rapidly before the boss exhausts your final surviving stone barriers.
