[1] Dodge to the Side

dodge to the side
Wan Jun has lots of smash and forward attacks, which can easily be dodged by moving sideways. Except when he does sweeps and spinning attacks, always dodge to his side to avoid being hit by his strong attacks.

[2] Watch Out for Blinding Sand

sand
Like most other bosses in the game, Wan Jun can throw sand that can temporarily obscure your vision. He can then set up devastating attacks from your blindspot, ending the fight immediately. Be on your guard and dodge the sand. If you get hit, start playing defensively until the blindness wears off.

[3] Stay Close

stay close
Wan Jun has lots of openings, either in the middle of his slow combos, or at the end when he falls and stumbles. Use this to your advantage by staying close, and dishing out massive damage whenever the opportunity presents itself.
