Walkthrough

1
Yuki's Attacks:
2
Ice Stomp: Yuki stomps, creating a large ice circle. Get out of the radius quickly. Once the ice goes up, you can safely walk forward into the affected area to get a few hits in before she recovers.
3
Ice Breath: Yuki leans forward and breathes ice. Dodge to the side to avoid ongoing damage and the Water status effect, then counterattack.
4
Ice Shots (3 types):
5
Slow Shots: 3-4 icicles float above Yuki's head and fire one by one. Block or dodge these homing projectiles.
6
Ice Barrage: Three chunks of ice repeatedly shoot at you like a shotgun. Guard the initial shots and then dodge away.
7
Ice Spread: Five icicles appear and shoot out in a spread pattern. Guard or try to walk left/right to avoid this, as dodging sideways is punished.
8
Area Ice: Yuki shoots ice on the ground, creating damaging patches, or creates a circle of ice around herself to trap you. Move out of the ice patches or wait for the circle to dissipate while guarding.
9
Charge Attack: Yuki's halberd disappears, and she charges forward. Back up to make her appear right in front of you, leaving her open for attack. If caught, she will grapple you for moderate and then minor damage.

Tips

Bait out Yuki's Ice Stomp and Charge Attack as these leave her vulnerable.
