He Yuezhi appears as the mini-boss of the Lost Chapter quest Twelve Years of Feuds at the Town Academy. This guide breaks down his abilities, phases, weaknesses, and the best approach to defeat him efficiently.
Who is He Yuezhi in Where Winds Meet
He Yuezhi is a large-frame melee boss who fights with a heavy greatsword and relies on powerful forward pressure.
His attacks are slower than elite swordsmen but hit extremely hard, and nearly all of them have wide arcs or ground-impact shockwaves. He serves as one of the major combat encounters in the Twelve Years of Feuds quest.
How to defeat He Yuezhi
Your strategy must revolve around precise deflects, avoiding her charged slashes, and exploiting her post-combo recovery windows. Patience wins this fight. Here is how you can defeat him easily:
Step 1: Clear nearby mobs
You approach the arena with henchmen around He Yuezhi. Clearing 1–2 closest ones reduces interruption and lets you focus entirely on him.

Step 2: Watch his first overhead attack
His opener is a massive overhead vertical smash. This is slow but lethal.
Dodge sideways (never backward) — the hitbox is wide and slams the ground.

Step 3: Move around him in tight side circles
He does not pivot quickly. Staying slightly to his left side gives you consistent punish windows after each heavy swing.

Step 4: Punish the drag-sweep
When he drags his sword across the ground and swings in a wide arc, he has one of the longest recovery windows. Use this moment to land:
- 2–3 quick attacks, or
- A charged skill like Dragon’s Breath.

Step 5: Avoid trading during his lunge-cleave
He sometimes steps forward and swings diagonally downward. This hits earlier than his other moves — do not counterattack until he fully resets his stance. Mid-fight, he becomes more aggressive with:
- Faster sweeping combos
- Shorter recovery
- Double swings instead of singles
Focus on single-hit punishments instead of long combos.

Once his patterns stabilize, maintain side movement and punish only the biggest telegraphs until he drops.
He Yuezhi Tips
- Always dodge sideways, never backwards — his swings travel forward and cover distance.
- His vertical smash is the safest punish window; hit him right after the sword lands.
- Circle around his left side; he rarely adjusts his aim mid-swing.
- Do not get greedy in enraged mode — one punish hit per swing is enough.
