Shen Yiren is one of the tougher boss fights you face in Where Winds Meet. He is fast, aggressive, and punishes mistakes quickly. If you rush the fight or ignore his patterns, you will lose health very fast. This guide explains how you can defeat Shen Yiren by understanding his attacks, choosing the right approach, and staying patient.
How to Defeat Shen Yiren in Where Winds Meet
Get to Know Shen Yiren’s Attack Patterns
Shen Yiren’s fighting style is characterized by very quick melee combos and rushes. He usually performs two or three attacks and then steps back, changing the direction of engagement. He usually delivers the hardest blows after a brief pause, which is the period of time when you can react.
If you observe his feet and shoulders, you will be able to tell when he will dash or strike hard. Do not try to absorb these blows because they are very powerful and can disrupt your movement.
Maintain a Safe Distance and Set the Tempo
You are advised not to remain close to Shen Yiren for a long period of time. After hitting once or twice, retreat and take the position again.
Moving around him often lowers the likelihood of being hit by his attacks coming straight at you. The moment he misses either a dash or a heavy swing is the safest moment for you to strike. This battle does not tolerate greed, thus, short damage windows are the key.
Dodge and Parry are to be used very carefully.
In this battle, dodging proves to be the better option rather than constantly blocking. Shen Yiren can gradually break your guard if you keep blocking his attacks.
The right moment for dodging is when his weapon has only just started moving towards you, not too soon. If you are parrying with confidence then use it only against his slow strikes, as misjudging the timing for a parry against his quick strikes can leave you vulnerable.
Opening and Saving Skills with it
At no time should your most powerful skills be employed at the very beginning of the battle. The most opportune moment for the enemy is after he has completed a lengthy series of moves or when he has made a failed charge attack.
The high-damage skills should be used then. Also, using the skills randomly often results in wasting the cooldowns, and you will have no skills when he gets aggressive again and is a superb attacker.
Manage Stamina and Healing
Stamina management is the most important thing in this fight. When your stamina is over you can’t dodge or counter and that practically always results in getting hurt. Keep sufficient stamina to avoid at least one blow. Use healing items only when you are far away. Healing very close to Shen Yiren usually leads to him interrupting you with a quick attack.
Tips to Defeat Shen Yiren
Keep your cool and don’t hurry the fight. Shen Yiren is meant to be a challenge to your timing and control instead of a fight of attrition. First, survive, then get to know his rhythm and little by little reduce his health. If you remain patient and understand his attack patterns, it will be possible to defeat Shen Yiren every time without depending on luck.
