How to beat Yuding, No.12, Crescent Blade Puppet
Our strategy, built from the fight's numbers, followed by the game's own codex entry.
- Parry the blue flashes: 2 of Yuding, No.12, Crescent Blade Puppet's 12 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 Glaive Windmill Combo: only 0.35s from the flash to the hit, so react to the flash, not the swing.
- Bring Lightning: it deals 16% more damage to Yuding, No.12, Crescent Blade Puppet.
- Shock builds up 16% faster on Yuding, No.12, Crescent Blade Puppet.
- Yuding, No.12, Crescent Blade Puppet'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.
Lightning is Yuding's lone weakness, dealing 16% more damage with Shock building 16% faster. She is immune to Poison, Bleed and Blood Burst, while Frost and Water are cut by 30%, so a Lightning weapon is the obvious choice.
This Vessel-class puppet is durable, with 11,000 base HP and 2,400 base Sha-Chi: about 170,720 HP and 27,930 Sha-Chi at level 23 before difficulty. Parries drain 30% less Sha-Chi than usual.
The codex describes an extremely heavy, long-handled blade carved with Loong motifs, used to cleave, sweep, block, lift, twist and thrust. Once she catches an opening she locks the blade around her opponent's neck and circles them before a gust of blue light crashes down, so avoid giving her one. She guards the Mirage Estate training ground between Qiu Feng and Lei Dang, the Tiger Cannon, and is worth 90,000 Remnant Dust.

Yuding, No.12, Crescent Blade Puppet lore
The codex entry the game unlocks for Yuding, No.12, Crescent Blade Puppet.
In-game codexA "Vessel-class" Crescent Blade Puppet guarding the training ground at Mirage Estate. Tall and imposing in ornate armor, with white hair streaming behind her, she wields an extremely heavy, long-handled blade carved with Loong motifs. Her techniques combine cleaving, sweeping, blocking, lifting, twisting, and thrusting. Once she catches an opening, she locks the blade around her opponent’s neck and circles them. Blue light whirls along the blade, gathering into a powerful gust as the shaft swings behind her before crashing down.
Before the Herald turned her into a puppet, she possessed exceptional martial talent and was fascinated by the heroic generals of the stage. Her master placed the blade in her hands: the back of the blade was Heaven, the edge Earth, the tip the sovereign, and the shaft the master. From then on, the weapon became her whole life. Her skill continued to grow until, eventually, no one could give her a worthy fight.
When the Herald turned her into a puppet, she felt little pain, and afterward, little seemed to have changed. It was as though those falling beneath her blade had simply changed from people to puppets. She still cannot understand the anger of those on the righteous path. Why do they condemn her for cruel slaughter, when few condemn the Maskwalkers for doing the same?
Nor does she care to understand their anger. Only those capable of defeating her are worth understanding.
