Follow Our Build Guide

LongswordStagger Longsword Spear Flame Spear Axe Immortal Axe
Dual Blades Clash Dual Blades One-Handed Sword Magic Shortsword

These are our recommended builds that we used to defeat Fang Ling. Clashes are the most effective technique against her, making the Clash Dual Blades Build good to use, since she doesn't get staggered from Deflects like Honglan does. Clashes lessen her damage, and allows you to continue your combo while trading attacks with her without getting flinched.

Best Builds

Equip the Dracolich Pendant to Prevent Flinching from Roars

Fang Ling roars on both of her phases, causing you to flich when you get caught in the radius. Equipping the Dracolich Pendant you get from the Mercury Workshop will prevents flinching from roars, allowing you to stay close and deal damage during her roar.

Dracolich Pendant Effects and How to Get

Wear Armor to Resist Slash, Stab, and Poise Break

Equip Armor with High Slash and Stab Mitigation

Fang Ling uses her dual blades for most of her attacks during the first phase, with occasional strikes from the monstrous extension on her shoulders. Defeat Ai Nengqi to obtain the Seven Treasure Rosary, which you can give to Tao Qing to unlock the ability to purchase the North General Armor set. The full set offers the highest combined Stab and Slash mitigation in your current progress. Other good alternatives are the Ming Armor set and the Centipede Armor set.

Use Skills that Deflect and Clash Sword Attacks

It is recommended to deflect or clash against Fang Ling's blade strikes. Clashing your weapons with hers reduces the damage you receive while allowing you to continue your attack combo, gradually breaking her Poise and opening her up for Obliterate Strikes.

Deflect Her Attacks With the Twin Bandits Block

Fang Ling can be briefly staggered if you deflect her blade attacks using the Twin Bandits' block skill, once you've unlocked the Steel Edge node in the Dual Blades skill tree in the Impetus Repository.

This makes it a perfect opportunity to get behind her and do a heavy attack to open her up for Obliterate Strikes.

Steel Edge Node Effects

Use Her Opening Attack to Stack Skyborn Might

Fang Ling hangs from the ceiling and fires projectiles at you, which you can do Perfect Dodges to gain up to five stacks of Skyborn Might. It's best to keep your distance to let her continue firing before she eventually drops down.

Skyborn Might Explained

Chimera Opening During Sideward Beams

The Chimera fires beams starting from its left side to the right, then sweeps back to the left, remaining stationary throughout the attack. Move in and stay near its right side to safely deal damage during this window. If you're having trouble getting some hits, stay on the defensive until it uses this move.

Perfect Bride Fang Ling Movesets

Jump to a Moveset!
Phase 1 Phase 2

Phase 1 Attack Patterns

Fang Ling will mostly use her dual blades that inflict Poise Break buildup during the first phase, with a few attacks from her monstrous extension.

Moves Details
Hanging Blood Shots
Fang Ling's opening attack. She hangs from the ceiling and fires four blood shots at you before dropping down, dealing damage to anyone caught in her landing. Simply dodge the blood shots and stay away from the center of the arena to avoid her landing spot.
Aerial Arc Spin
Fang Ling executes a spinning motion in the air with her two blades to deliver multiple hits. Dodge to the side to avoid getting hit.
Dashing Stab
Fang Ling readies her blade and dashes toward you with a stab after her blade shines. You can dodge forward to get behind her and counterattack, or dodge in any direction if you anticipate a follow-up.
Charged Stab
Similar to the Dashing Stab, but this one readies both of her blades and has a longer charge before executing the stab after the flash of light. This can be dodged the same way with the Dashing Stab.
Blade Strikes
Fang Ling enters a semi-crouching stance, then attacks with her blades. This attack is easy to deflect if you have the skill, or you can dodge in any direction to avoid it.
Triple Stabs
Fang Ling builds momentum and delivers a stab attack. The stab on her left hand has longer reach, but they can easily be dodged, as the timing between them matches the interval between your dodges.
Scissor Cuts
Fang Ling readies her blades, then performs three quick scissor-like snap attacks, followed by a slash at the end. Focus on dodging backward with each attack.
Whip Slash
Fang Ling temporarily floats and spins with her blade, extending its range on the second spin. You can clash or deflect the attack, but it's also possible to dodge behind her to avoid it entirely.
Twirling Blades
Fang Ling spins multiple times while attacking. Dodge each strike backward to keep her in view and pepare for her follow-up attacks.
Monstrous Roar
The monster connected to her lets out a roar. Mitigate its effects using the Dracolich Pendant, or simply move out of rage to avoid the attack.
Blood Shot
The monster on her back charges a bit before shooting blood at you. Dodge in any direction to avoid it.
Blood Beam
The monster fires a beam of blood along the ground toward your location, which explodes after the attack ends. Simply dodge to the sides to avoid both the beam and the explosion.

Phase 2 Attack Patterns

Fang Ling changes her whole moveset during phase two, since she transforms into a monstrous form, losing her blades in the process.

Moves Details
Beastly Roar
This move is her opening attack after entering phase 2. This can be easily mitigated by equipping the Dracolich Pendant, which prevents flinching from roars, as this will allow you to land a few hits before she starts her other moves. You can avoid the move by keeping your distance and using Spells or Throwables instead to deal damage from afar.
Ground Pound
The Chimera raises her hand and slams it into the ground. This is best dodged to the side or backward to maintain distance, but be careful for possible follow-up attacks.
Ferocious Bites
The Chimera builds momentum and lunges its head at you for a bite, followed by two quick bites, and ends a final charged bite. This can be dodged to the side for you to get some attacks during the move.
Side Claw Strikes
The Chimera launches a claw strike from her side to the front. Just be mindful to which side attack is coming from. This is usually followed by a tail whip, so be ready to dodge again after avoiding the claw strike.
Tail Whip
After a side claw strike, the Chimera follows up with a tail attack. Dodge in any direction to avoid it.
Relentless Strikes
The Chimera pounds the ground multiple times, finishing with a combined slam using both hands. Stay near its side to avoid the pounding attacks, then dodge the leap attack at the end.
Forward Carge
The Chimera quickly charges to your location, dealing damage along its path. Dodge when it gets close to either sides to avoid the attack.
Lunge Attack
The Chimera lunges its whole body towards you. Dodge in any direction except backward to avoid the attack.
Spinning Beams
The Chimera lets out a blood beam while it is spinning that explodes upon contact with the ground. It's best to go outside the attack range to avoid the move entirely.
Sideward Beams
The Chimera lets out a beam attack sweeping from her left to right, then right to left, followed by an upward blast. Dodge in the opposite direction of the beam's path to avoid damage. You can sprint to the Chimera's right side and safely deal damage during the duration of this move.
Explosive Blast
The Chimera breathes fire into the ground, concentrating its power before relasing a powerful blast. It's best to run away and create distance from the Chimera to avoid the explosion.
Falling Crimson
The Chimera lets out a roar (without causing flinches) that triggers falling debris with a crimson glow. You can receive damage and be knocked down even if the debris lands near you. Always keep moving while this attack is active to avoid getting hit.
