Blackclad (Jingniang) - Vlado's WWM DB

Overview

Jingniang in her investigation guise — cinematic sword boss of the Imperial Palace Sealed Treasury arc.

Mechanics

Hybrid sword kit blending Zhao Kuangyin's original teachings with Jingniang's innovations. Encountered during Sealed Treasury infiltration before the Confinement Tower finale. Fast combo strings reward parry-first play.

Strategy

Read her hybrid forms — many attacks extend from imperial sword fundamentals with personal flourishes. Space management inside the vault matters; use parries to create counter windows during longer combo chains.
