How to Beat Perfect Bride Fang Ling

Defeating Perfect Bride Fang Ling requires a mix of preparation, the right equipment, and understanding her attack patterns. Follow these steps to claim victory.

1. Follow Our Recommended Build Guide

   We recommend specific builds that are highly effective against Fang Ling. Clashes are the most effective technique against her, as she doesn’t stagger from Deflects like Honglan does. A successful Clash lessens her damage and allows you to continue your combo without flinching. The Clash Dual Blades Build is particularly strong for this fight. Other viable builds include the Stagger Longsword, Flame Spear, Immortal Axe, and Magic Shortsword.

2. Equip the Dracolich Pendant

   Fang Ling roars at the start of both of her phases, which will cause you to flinch if you are within the radius. Equip the Dracolich Pendant, obtained from the Mercury Workshop, to prevent this. This will grant you a crucial window to stay close and deal damage while she is locked in the roar animation.

3. Wear Armor with High Slash, Stab, and Poise Resistance

   In her first phase, Fang Ling primarily uses her dual blades for slash and stab attacks. To mitigate this damage, we recommend the North General Armor set. To unlock it, you must first defeat Ai Nengqi to get the Seven Treasure Rosary, which you can then give to Tao Qing. Other excellent alternatives include the Ming Armor set and the Centipede Armor set.

4. Utilize Skills that Deflect and Clash

   Focus on clashing with Fang Ling’s blade strikes rather than just dodging. Clashing reduces incoming damage and allows you to maintain your offensive pressure. This will gradually break her Poise, opening her up for powerful Obliterate Strikes.

   Weapon Type	Moves with Clashes and Deflect
   Longswords	• Sword Counter (Discipline) • Sword Savant (Passive)
   One-Handed Swords	• Phantom Flurry (Weapon Skill) • Swift Lunge (Discipline Variant II) • Flickering Blade (Discipline - Pseudo-Deflect)
   Axes	• Axe and Hook (Passive) • Chop and Weave (Passive)
   Dual Blades	• Fearless Cleave (Weapon Skill) • Block (Weapon Skill) • Blade Dance (Discipline Variant I) • Sudden Strike (Discipline Variant I) • Whirling Flurry (Discipline Variant I) • Feather Chaser (Passive) • Leaf Slasher (Passive) • Wave Breaker (Passive) • Deadly Shadow (Passive)
   Spears	• Ebb and Flow (Weapon Skill) • Vortex Thrust (Weapon Skill) • Spear Flurry (Discipline) • Spearveil (Discipline)

5. Use Her Opening Attack to Stack Skyborn Might

   At the start of the fight, Fang Ling hangs from the ceiling and fires projectiles. You can perform Perfect Dodges on these shots to gain up to four stacks of Skyborn Might. Keep your distance to encourage her to continue firing before she drops down, allowing you to build up this powerful buff.

Perfect Bride Fang Ling Moveset

Fang Ling has two distinct phases, each with a unique set of attacks.

Phase 1

During her first phase, Fang Ling attacks primarily with her dual blades, which inflict significant Poise Break buildup. She will also occasionally strike with the monstrous extension on her shoulders.

Move	Details
Hanging Blood Shots	Her opening attack. She hangs from the ceiling, fires four blood shots, then drops down. Dodge the projectiles and stay clear of the center of the arena to avoid her landing.
Aerial Arc Spin	Fang Ling performs a multi-hit spinning attack in the air. Dodge to the side to avoid the entire sequence.
Dashing Stab	She readies her blade, which shines before she dashes forward with a stab. Dodge forward to get behind her for a counterattack.
Charged Stab	Similar to the Dashing Stab, but she readies both blades and has a longer charge time. Dodge forward just as the light flashes.
Blade Strikes	Fang Ling enters a semi-crouching stance before unleashing a blade combo. This is a good opportunity to deflect or you can dodge away.
Triple Stabs	She builds momentum and delivers three consecutive stabs. The timing between stabs matches your dodge interval, making them easy to evade.
Scissor Cuts	She readies her blades for three quick scissor-like snaps, followed by a final slash. Focus on dodging backward with each attack.
Blood Shot	The monster on her back charges briefly before firing a blood projectile. Dodge in any direction to avoid it.
Blood Beam	The monster fires a beam of blood along the ground that explodes shortly after. Dodge to the side to avoid both the beam and the subsequent explosion.

Phase 2

Upon entering phase two, Fang Ling transforms into a monstrous chimera, losing her blades and adopting a completely new moveset.

Move	Details
Beastly Roar	Her opening attack in Phase 2. The Dracolich Pendant negates the flinch, allowing you to attack freely. Alternatively, keep your distance and use Spells or Throwables.
Ground Pound	The chimera raises a hand and slams it down. Dodge to the side or backward. Be prepared for follow-up attacks.
Ferocious Bites	A sequence of bites: a lunge, two quick bites, and a final charged bite. Dodge to the side to create an opening for your own attacks.
Side Claw Strikes	A claw strike from her side to the front. Watch which side the attack originates from. This is often followed by a Tail Whip.
Tail Whip	A follow-up attack after a Side Claw Strike. Dodge in any direction to avoid it.
Relentless Strikes	The chimera pounds the ground multiple times, ending with a two-handed slam. Stay near its side to avoid the initial pounds, then dodge the final leap attack.
Forward Charge	A quick charge across the arena. Dodge to either side as it gets close.
Lunge Attack	The chimera lunges its entire body towards you. Dodge to the side or forward to avoid the attack; dodging backward is not recommended.
Spinning Beams	The chimera spins while firing a blood beam that explodes on contact with the ground. You can safely stay close to the boss during this attack to land a few hits.
Falling Crimson	The chimera roars (this one does not cause a flinch) and summons falling debris with a crimson glow. The debris has a splash radius. Keep moving continuously to avoid being hit.
