How to Beat Shiyu Defense 14

Shiyu Defense 14 First Half

Rely on Defensive Assists

The Wanted Enforcer telegraphs all his moves due to his long wind-ups paired with golden attack cues. Be sure to use Defensive Assists as much as you can to knock him off balance and avoid DMG!

Perfect Assist Guide

Shiyu Defense 14 Second Half

Prioritize Offense

Tepes has a lot of predictable moves, and thanks to its size, these moves have very slow wind-ups. Use this to your advantage and rely on Perfect Dodges while keeping on the offensive!
