Face Top Takes Bottom First
Top Takes Bottom will attack Wukong first. Dodge out of the way when it launches itself and use staff combos to bring its health down.
Once its health is down by a specific threshold, Bottom Takes Top will swap and fight Wukong instead.
Deal Significant Damage to Bottom Takes Top
Dodge Bottom Takes Top's spinning attack and counter using Immobilize and staff combos.
Make sure to hit the boss from the front to deal significant damage, since the shell acts as a shield.
Keep Dodging During Ball Phase
When either of the bosses have less than 50% health, they'll combine and turn into a rolling ball.
This phase will be ongoing for a while so dodge as needed!
Utilize Spells and Staff Combos
Immobilize the boss you're focusing on to stop aggression and open up combo opportunities.
Utilize staff combos to fill up the Staff gauge and execute powerful finishers to take down either boss.
Focus on Taking Down One Boss While They Switch
After the ball phase, both bosses will start switching. One boss will attack Wukong for a fixed period of time and hide under their shield, while the other comes out to attack Wukong.
They will keep switching until one dies, so focus on taking down the boss with lower health first, then take down the remaining boss to win the encounter.
