How To Beat Raiden Shogun Puppet In Genshin Impact
The highlight against thisGenshin Impactweekly bossis when she enters theBaleful Shadowlordform.This happens when the Raiden Shogun Puppet hits the players enough time to fill her Ominous Destiny. In this form, active characters will periodically lose Elemental Energy. The puppet will deal more fatal attacks and gain a shield that increases Resistance.
Note thatTravelers can win the battle without the boss entering this form.
Starting The Fight
The Puppet will have two stances in this boss fight;Musou IsshinandEngulfing Lightningmode. Each stance has different moves, so knowing whichweapon Raiden Shogun is wieldingcan greatly help with the battle.
Musou Isshin Special Move
Illusions: Split into four illusions that launch blades at the player. Hitting the copy thrice will destroy it. Among the four,one illusion will launch X-shaped slashes to attack. This is the “real” Shogun Puppet.Defeat it to temporarily stun the boss. The first time players do this, they will earn theImpeccable JudgmentGenshin Impactachievement.
Musou no Hitotachi: Deals Electro damage in a massive AoE.Run to the edge of the domainto avoid getting damaged.
Engulfing Lightning Special Move
Magatsu Electroculi: Deploys Magatsu Electroculi that will explode if not destroyed. It has two versions; normal (one Electroculus) or enhanced (three summons). To destroy the Electroculi, simply attack it a few times.
In the normal version, doing this will temporarily stun the Raiden Shogun puppet.
Baleful Shadowlord Form
The Raiden Shogun Puppet will gain an Electro shield that bumps her Resistance from 10% to 210%. The boss will continuously drain players’ Energy in this state, but Travelers can easily regain them by triggeringGenshin ImpactElemental Reactions. It’s best toutilize Cryo and Pyroattacks to break the shield quickly.
