Prioritize Archers

If you decide to break stealth and fight head on, it would be best to prioritize killing the archers first. These enemies can aggressively harass you from afar with their poisoned arrows.

Switch Stances For Different Enemies

Aside from archers, you will also need to deal with other enemies. These include swordsmen and heavily armored enemies. Make sure to use the appropriate stance for the type of enemy to quickly finish them off!

Use Resolve To Aid You

Your resolve is useful especially when facing a large crowd of enemies. Use it to heal yourself if you are low on health, or use it to bring down difficult targets quickly!

Fire At Barrels To Deal AoE Damage

Battle Progression

During Courtyard Phase

Parry Then Attack To Deal Massive Damage

Khotun Khan's normal & blue-icon attacks are easy to parry, letting you parry his attacks to get Resolve gauge and make a counterattack. Be patient and let Khotun Khan create openings for you to counter.

Uses 2 Types Of Unblockable Attacks

Khotun Khan will use 2 types of unblockable attacks for both close and long distance. These attacks will be indicated by a red cross mark, which you may find him bashing you or trying to stab you with his spear. His attack cue comes quite early giving you plenty to dash back to avoid his attacks. His spear attacks comes in chains of 3 strikes.

Heavenly Strikes Effective

A powerful move called Heavenly Strikes cuts through Khotun Khan's defenses and can stop his red-icon attacks. This powerful move must be acquired by completing 'The Heavenly Strike' Mystic tale.

During Warship Phase

Do Crowd Control & Kill Archers First

Archers will cause havoc if not dealt with quickly, but don't charge into swarms of enemies to get to them - instead, use items like Smoke Bombs, Kunai & other items to stagger swarms so you can rush to the back and kill the archers first.

Change Stances Often Based on Enemies You're Fighting

You'll need to clear out swarms of enemies fast or you'll get overrun. The most efficient ways to do so is to switch to different stance based on enemies you're fighting, like switching to Moon Stance to deal with tough brutes quickly.

Shoot At Barrels If They're Around

Barrels can be a quick way to deal with archers on balconies. Shoot the barrels to get rid of archers at the high ground quickly.
