How to Beat Wu Xuan
[1] Use weapons with high Guard Break
Weapons to use:
Phantom Edges to use:
Wu Xuan is heavily armored; most of the fight Soul will be focusing on breaking his defense before dealing damage. Weapons that have low Guard Break will make the fight much harder than it needs to be.
Dread Axe is essential to this fight, as Dread Axe deals a ton of Guard Break Damage, easily breaking Wu Xuan's defenses. The downside is you have to find the perfect moment to use Dread Axe, as it has a long charge animation to fully maximize the effect.
Once his defense has been broken, Soul can switch to weapons like Jagged Steel that attack with status effects for extra damage.
[2] Wait for his Combo to End
Most of Wu Xuan's attacks are combos, so patience is the key during this fight. Wait for him to finish his combo, since that will leave him in a vulnerable state for a moment. Use that window to counterattack and break his defense to deal damage.
[3] Beware of the Ghostflame
After breaking his defense, Wu Xuan will immediately enter phase 2, where he will be engulfed in Ghostflames (Purple Flames). Be wary of them, as they can interrupt your movements when hit, disrupting you and opening you to an attack. Avoid committing to long combos, since a single Ghostflame can interrupt you mid combo and break your rhythm.
[4] Don't immediately press the Critical Strike button.
Once you've broken Wu Xuan's defense, a prompt will appear to critically strike him. Before pressing the button, keep attacking and wait until the last second before he regains his Sha-Chi to critically strike him to get the most out of his vulnerability window.
