[1] Stay Close
Backing off gives her room to throw daggers and reset her strings. Stay at mid range, block her first swings, and hit back in between.
[2] Read the Flashes
Watch for the flash and not her arm. Parry the blue flash and dodge the red flash.
[3] Back Away When Kui Yanyan's Enraged
When she snaps and attacks everything around her, don't get greedy. Back away, let her whiff, and re-engage when she turns back to you.
