How to Beat Yanqing's Ringmaster Challenge

Weakness Break Yanqing's Flying Swords

For the Yangqing Ringmaster Challenge, you can quickly gain Vibes by inflicting Weakness Breaks on Yanqing's Flying Swords. Use Firefly's Enhanced Skill to quickly take them down.

Reach the Last Phase of Yanqing's Fight

Once you've reached the Super Hype state, Yanqing will be Weakness Broken. While he's vulnerable, try to deal as much damage as you can so you can reach the last phase.

This fight is scripted to end early, so your characters won't be able to act after reaching a certain point in Yanqing's last phase.
