Prioritze Killing Huang Long After It Uses Call Allies

Huang Long will start using Call Allies when it is near half health. Using AoE attacks is useful, but focus your attacks on Huang Long—using Dark skills in particular.

Consistently Use Dark Skills

Huang Long is weak to Dark, and capitalizing on the weakness-exploit system will benefit you a lot—effectively attacking Huang Long and securing more turns for your team all at the same time.

Use Phys Attacks

You can deal a lot of damage to Huang Long using Phys attacks as it is not resistant to Phys. It is especially useful to have Yoshitsune on your team as his Phys attacks also deal effects that weaken Huang Long.
