Parrying attacks, especially the Fatal Strikes, will decrease your enemy’s Spirit Gauge significantly. As such, it is ideal for you to parry as much as possible, then damage them heavily with your Fatal Strike once it is available.

Other than Xiahou Dun’s massive weapons, another thing that players will have to watch out for is the fire from his attacks. Xiahou Dun’s attacks will constantly create patches of fire in the arena. As such, the player must take care not to step on them. It might be a good idea to bring Water spells to this fight. If the player does not have much, then they will have to rely on their dodging and parrying skills.

When the player is not dodging or parrying Xiahou Dun’s telegraphed attacks, they should be looking around and making sure that they are not surrounded by fire. They should then wait for Xiahou Dun to attack, dodge or parry it, then carry out their own counter-attacks before making distance again.
