How to beat You Loong, Leader of the Blackwater Crew
Our strategy, built from the fight's numbers, followed by the game's own codex entry.
- Parry the blue flashes: 1 of You Loong, Leader of the Blackwater Crew's 22 attacks flash blue before they land, and a timed parry stops them.
- Dodge the red flashes: 2 attacks flash red. They can't be parried, so dodge through them instead of blocking.
- The tightest tell is Quick Water Spray: only 0.47s from the flash to the hit, so react to the flash, not the swing.
- Bring Frost: it deals 30% more damage to You Loong, Leader of the Blackwater Crew.
- Shock builds up 30% faster on You Loong, Leader of the Blackwater Crew.
- You Loong, Leader of the Blackwater Crew's Sha-Chi bar is 2,400: perfect parries and Guard Break attacks drain it, and an empty bar opens the boss to a finisher.
Bring Lightning or Frost. You Loong takes 30% more damage from both, Shock builds up 30% faster and Frost lasts 30% longer on him, while Fire and Water are cut by 60% and Burn and Soaked build up 60% slower. Pair that with steady combos.
He has 9,000 base HP and 2,400 base Sha-Chi, about 78,750 HP and 10,708 Sha-Chi at level 14, before difficulty modifiers. Parries drain 30% less of his Sha-Chi than usual, so mix in Standard Combos.
The codex describes a Pangzhen Maskwalker who churns the water into towering waves with a single fishing spear and rises and sinks beneath the surface. He follows Xie Qiudong, the Divine Healer, comes before Acolyte Lei Ting, and returns later as You Loong, the Frenzied Blackwater Crew Leader (boss #56).
Each kill is worth 30,000 Remnant Dust and drops two Phantom Edges, You Loong's Deluge and the Loong Trident, plus a High-power Pump.

You Loong, Leader of the Blackwater Crew lore
The codex entry the game unlocks for You Loong, Leader of the Blackwater Crew.
In-game codexA Maskwalker who hunts the living along Pangzhen's waterways. He wears the Ironclad Loong Helm, is as at home in the water as on land, and with a single fishing spear can churn the waters into towering waves. He uses the water to his advantage, rising and sinking beneath the surface, appearing and vanishing without a trace. Every river, lake, and marsh is his hunting ground.
He was once the leader of the Blackwater Crew. Through sheer valor, he drove off river bandits and guarded the waterways, earning the people's trust and becoming their chosen leader. The crew grew prosperous, with its own docks and waterways that sustained the livelihoods of the surrounding people. Many heroes came to join him, while some elders chose this place as a refuge in their later years.
Later, the Three Pillars of Kunlun came to hunt the Maskwalkers. Eager to aid the Mandate, the Blackwater Crew combined their water arts with Perfect Transcension. Instead, every member of the crew was transformed, lying in wait beneath the water and hunting the living... Yet they were still brothers.
He was no match for Soul, and the Ironclad Loong Helm was badly damaged. The Sha-Chi within him became impossible to suppress, so You Loong fled through the water... He must not die here. Otherwise, the young and old of the village, and his brothers in the crew, would have no one left to depend on...
