Tian Ying Best Companion

The best companion to bring with against Tian Ying would be Yuan Jin'gang due to his ability to deal huge Qi damage from a far with his Bow. He can also knock down and stagger Tian Ying at long range to give you openings for burst damage and eventually exhaust him for an Execute attack.

The Promised Light Walkthrough and Rewards

How to Beat Tian Ying



Use Meridian Touch to Cancel His Shockwave Move

When Tian Ying raises his staff with a gold glow, he will release a shockwave attack that can deal huge damage. We highly recommend using the Meridian Touch mystic art, as this can easily cancel his shockwave attack while he is channeling to knock him down for a few seconds.

Take note that Meridian Touch has a 10-second cooldown, so make sure to keep your distance from Tian Ying when he does the shockwave attack in case your mystic art is still on cooldown.

List of All Mystic Skills

Stay on the Side During His Statue Attack

During Tian Ying's 2nd phase, he will eventually float in the air and use the Buddha statue behind him to deal a series of wide AoE attacks throughout the arena. Make sure to stay on the side of the arena as this is a blind spot to help avoid all the Buddha statue attacks.

Additionally, you can also perform ranged attacks from a far while you are stationed at the side. Make sure to avoid getting closer to the center as the Buddha statue can still hit you.

Ignore the Minions and Parry the Original

On the third and last phase, he is capable of summoning 3 clones that will simultaneously attack you, while Tian Ying will hide away and attack you from your blind spot every now and then. We recommend ignoring all 3 clones and focus on parrying Tian Ying whenever he attacks you, as each successful parry will remove a clone in the field.
