Phantom Blade Zero: Skill issue here (Workarounds)
Short answer
Suggested fix (unconfirmed): Parry her red attacks to deal heavy damage to her guard, and use your dodge for everything else. Keep your distance to trigger her predictable charges, and switch weapons if your guard is about to break.
The problem
How dyou defead Mu Xiaokuis second phase? I keep dying! Do I parry or wait for the red dodge? its so amazing and overwhelming at the same time
What players suggest
Just, timing. Think parrying her red attacks is most important as they do the most damage to you and her guard. So you can mostly try to use dodge. EDIT: Ideally you use both dodge and parry, which is doable, but you need to "study" her a couple of attempts. EDIT 2: Did you check your healing items for some that might work better? There's one that gives you a good chunk of health and damage…
Did this work for you?
