Linghu

Linghu is a story boss in Honor of Kings: World fought during Jixia Chapter 6: When Stars Converge. The encounter takes place inside Huxiao Hall after the underwater puppet-recovery route, the cave entry sequence, and the simplified Yuange Puppet rematch.

Where Linghu Appears

1. Reach Huxiao Hall during Chapter 6.

2. Open the cave-side mechanism door by spending one cloud-energy token.

3. Use Sun Bin for the forced solo section and clear the lighter puppet route.

4. Return to the hall interior, defeat the enemy waves, and trigger the Linghu boss fight.

Fight Identity

Linghu is defined less by spectacle and more by timing discipline. Current walkthrough coverage describes him as a fast attacker with repeated rushes and a clear parry-and-counter habit. The most important rule is to stop attacking when he enters his guard pose.

• When Linghu sets his hands and blade in front of his body, he is preparing to parry incoming attacks.

• If the player keeps swinging into that stance, Linghu can answer with a quick counter.

• The counter is still dodgeable, and Kai can also answer it with his own reaction tools.

Why Xi Shi and Kai Work Well Here

• Xi Shi can keep smaller gaps under control by knocking Linghu up with orb explosions.

• Kai mirrors Linghu's parry game and makes the fight easier to read for players already comfortable with reaction-based combat.

• Because Linghu punishes careless pressure, controlled burst windows are stronger than constant button-mashing.

Role in Chapter 6

Linghu is the real chapter boss of the Huxiao Hall route. The earlier Yuange Puppet encounter in the same chapter is intentionally simplified, so Linghu is the fight that restores real boss pressure before the quieter Jixia Star Team story wrap-up.

Posture and Counter Notes

Linghu rewards reactive play more than aggressive combo extension. The most important rule is to stop attacking when he enters his guard pose. Continuing to swing into that stance triggers his counter, which can be dodged but is more likely to land if the player is mid-animation. The counter is the highest-damage single window in the fight, so trading into it is rarely worth the exchange.

Posture pressure builds gradually rather than from one big window. Each clean dodge into a short combo will chip his white bar. Once the bar breaks, he enters Vulnerable State, which is the safest moment to commit a long combo. The Break Momentum Bar mechanic governs this exchange.
