Evergreen Mastery Fight help (Chenghuang Trial)

[Dage1387]

Hello people,

I've just finished the Southern chronicles DLC and I've hit a road block. I'm trying to get the evergreen Mastery cultivation but I can't beat the fight at the statue to get it. I am in extreme difficulty btw.

Any builds/guides/walkthroughs I could use?

My team comp is Yan Weihuan, Di zui, Shang (herbal saint) and Xun Yaoyao.

Currently running a sword MC, (Has cloudform Taichi, Muscle changing scripture, Infinite 4 symbols and 5 immortals sutra).

Kinda stuck on this part, I don't know if I should progress the story a little more, but my dear is that I'll progress too far to the point where itll be unavailable to me. Or I lose out story plot because I can't recruit the twins.

Any help would be appreciated 🙏🙏

I personally don't have any experience on extreme difficulty yet, however, I heard that the 5 immortals sutra isn't that good on extreme because of hard bosses being able to just cleanse the poison. If you don't have every skill maxed out on the entire party including yourself, you should definitely go do that to gain more mastery or even meridian points. In terms of team comp, I actually suggest that you use someone with polearm, it's among the strongest and most useful with its massive AOE (perfect for the Chenghuang Trial) and by this point in the game, you should have 3 red tier polearm manuals which all give +25 mastery at the lvl 10 passive.

I don't know if you're doing the first or second part of the trial but, I also read somewhere that you actually want to prioritize the boss in the second part.

I hope this was remotely useful to you.

If you don't have legacy use wuxian sword unique or pull bai away and wait for him to get countered with cloudform (start with infinite to activate counters).

It is needed for statue fights and bai, once you're done with southern you can swap it.

it really depends on what your gear and skill setup is like, and how much additional effort you want to put into this fight
the easiest way to win this fight, while still taking forever to prepare for it, is to go fish for an hour and get the +qi next turn foods and feed them to your active team
your first move in the fight is to isolate/murder Bai Weiyi or use the weird giant suction cultivation that the doll face hidden weapon girl yaoyao has. if this is your second run, i ussually bring that cultivation on my mc cause of how insanely strong it is for stacking aoe attacks
essentially, either isolate bai weiyi and use all your biggest damage BUT LOW NUMBER OF HITS, if you are using ANY skill with multiple hits, DONT
Bai Weiyi comes with a weird qi stacker, every time he gets hit, it builds his qi and makes him do things. once he activates his weird seasonal cultivation (generally turn 5 for him?) he will poison your entire team and will boost all his allies
the point of the +qi next turn is four your team to assinate him before he pulls it off

if you use the yaoyao suction cultivation, you can then aoe blast the frick out of his team. they all still hit like trucks, and that one new NPC that looks like a pirate is still pretty strong, but its totally manageable imo. without Bai Weiyi's seasonal cultivation, your Main Character should be able to win if you have max equipment and alchemy
if you had enough inheritance points and got the blazing cultivation, it works really well with yaoyaos suction cultivation, cause its massive aoe and adds chance to crit agaisnt them as well

you need the vitality cultivation to complete the story correctly later, but you can also comeback later too
also i'm not sure what your build is and if you have any intention to change your team for this fight

if you are using Yan, and might want to change your MC to a fist user as well? the dragon move set that fist users have, proudly dragon repents in particular, is INSANELY strong throughout the game
your main character and the beggar fist guy can nearly ohko most bosses with it if you get luck on the crits, cause the dragon hits 3 times when empowered
you might be asking why im saying use a multi hit skill after saying up above dont, the proud dragon repents are full damage hits, its literally 3 times stronger then other similar skills

if you want to substitute out shang herbal fairy, ive heard people use her for her weird heal and detoxy skills, but personally i dont find her useful? the wheelchair detective or frosty condor is generally my pick,
the wheelchair detective will give you a second user who can use ensnaring nails if you have it(massive aoe skill that reduces the enemies movement range) and the onefinger move is great for wiping out the rest of the enemies once youve killed Bai Weiyi
as much as i like frosty condor though, she doesnt get proud dragon repents, and instead has to use soaring dragon, which just isnt as good, so thats just a me thing
if you have beat the game already and have the bodihama saber skills from inheritance, its honestly amazing overpower skill set. make sure your du zhi is using it, and maybe have the saber girl join your team to use it as well for this fight
