Chapter 5 · Difficulty 4/5

Red Boy / Yaksha King

Two identities, one resource plan

The short answer: Do not over-spend against Red Boy. The Yaksha phase has wider blade coverage and needs your strongest control tools.

01 · PREPARE

Before the attempt

  • Stack burn resistance.
  • Bring Cloud Step for large blade patterns.
  • Reserve vessel and spirit for phase two.

02 · READ

Three rules that solve the fight

  1. Use short punishes after spear dives.
  2. In Yaksha phase, move through gaps instead of away from the whole pattern.
  3. Heal behind Cloud Step.

03 · PUNISH

Reliable punish windows

  • End of the fire clone sequence.
  • Yaksha blade plant recovery.
  • After the long aerial dive.

04 · RESET

Most common run killers

  • Emptying the gourd before phase two.
  • Running straight back from expanding blades.
  • Committing during fire clone pressure.
Note: patches can change numbers, while move recognition, punish windows, and resource planning usually remain useful.
