Boss Mechanics
The Searing Grammar
Zhu Yuan is the lake's exam: sword pressure at Red-tier density, with searing attacks layered in that punish both turtling and panic. His strings assume you own the level-10+ weapon abilities — the fight is where late-game milestones stop being optional reading.
A Finisher's Fight
His Sha-Chi pool is deep and his recovery windows short, which makes the execution economy the whole fight: every guard break you trigger needs to end in a finisher, because raw damage trades favor him.
Step-by-Step Strategy
