How to Beat Acolyte Yanru
[1] Close the distance
Acolyte Yanru's attacks all rely on range to force the fight on her terms. Avoid the mines by walking towards them and then dodging the last minute. Once you're close, be aggressive. Some of her attacks leave her vulnerable, such as her flamethrower attack.
[2] Keep Moving
Her attacks cover a relatively large area, like her Flame Blast, Eruption, and especially Rain of Flame. Dodge laterally so that you can close in on her once she lands since she will constantly teleport around the area.
[3] Parry the Fireballs
Parry Acolyte Yanru's Fireball barrage back at her to deplete her Sha-Chi bar. However, it's important that you have enough of your own to parry as it could inflict Burn damage. Acolyte Yanru tends to follow up with Eruption so perfect dodge it for an instant gap close.
