If the Feather Priest Lu Bingzhang boss in the Shu Sanctum is literally driving you mad in WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers, here’s a quick guide on how to beat this boss using just a single spell.
Lu Bingzhang is the second boss of WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers. The reason he can be a pain is that all of his attacks deal Corruption build-up, which when triggered will cause you to lose health over time. On top of Lu Bingzhang’s ability to poison you, the Feathered Priest also has a grab which can cost you 50% of your total health.
WUCHANG Boss Guide: How to beat Lu Bingzhang
To easily beat Lu Bingzhang you can spamEcho of Dhutanga, a spell you automatically unlocked (equip it). To cast it you will need two Skyward Might charges. You will also need to be fairly close to Lu Bingzhang for Echo of Dhutanga to hit.
There are two windows to safely use this attack:
Why does it work?
Echo of Dhutanga is effective because it can quickly build upObliterate Valueon Lu Bingzhang. Each enemy in WUCHANG has a different Obliterate Value. If you can keep up the pressure he will be temporarily stunned - a White Feather will appear briefly - allowing you go to behind him to perform a powerful backstab (Obliterate) by pressing light attack.
You can see how much Obliterate Value build-up you dealt so far via the icon at the bottom left of his health bar. (see image above)
