Tips for defeating the Void King in Where Winds Meet

  • Staying close to the Void King limits his ranged attacks and opens more parry opportunities.​​
  • Timing perfect parries will instantly exhaust his Qi bar and stagger him.
  • Always dodge the Ice Storm move rather try to parry and hit perfect shots.
  • Focus on breaking his Qi meter to trigger exhaustion and extended damage windows.
