Whom to take in a squad to fight the Aeonblight Drake

In one of the stages, he will also begin to switch between ground and air forms, constantly attacking - this will come in handy catalysts и high damage heroes.

It is important to note that the boss is given additional resistance to the elements from which he receives damage. Therefore, the more diverse the elements the squad gathers, the faster it will be possible to defeat it.

Boss attacks and abilities

The Aeonblight Drake in its skills resembles a cross between Ruin Grader. His abilities spread over a fairly wide area, making him a potentially difficult boss to fight. Next, we will analyze in more detail the skills of the Aeonblight Drake in its two states.

Attacks in ground form

While the mechanism is on the ground, it uses the following techniques:

Leans forward and makes a sharp headbutt towards the hero.

It makes circular movements with its tail, and also stretches its wings, striking them on the ground.

Periodically, the automaton fires a large number of projectiles around itself. Before that, the enemy opens a weak spot in the front and begins to rotate its wings, generating an energy ball.

Starts running at the player point-blank. This move is called "furious attack" and has an achievement associated with it.

Air Form Attacks

After the boss enters a floating state, he gains the following abilities:

Uses a limb of its tail and rolls towards the character, dealing damage and knocking them down.

Lean back and fire two fire blasts at an area in front of him.

Just like in ground form, it collects energy and releases a lot of projectiles - in this case, they are aimed at the nearest hero.

How to defeat the Aeonblight Drake in Genshin Impact

In this paragraph, we will analyze in more detail the main mechanics of the boss, his weak points and how to defeat him more efficiently.

Attack the boss in weak spots with a bow

The main tactic in the battle with the Aeonblight Drake is to wait for conditions when the enemy opens the core (weak spots) and attack them to briefly paralyze him and eliminate his elemental resistance. The easiest way to do this is with charged bow shots. In a weakened state, the boss looks like this:

Keep your distance or activate shields to avoid damage

The mechanism is not very agile, but is capable of inflicting fatal damage. Try to stay away to avoid getting hit, or use shields.

Use different elements to fight

Opponent gains a boost resistance to the type of damage received. The resistance can be removed by hitting weak spots, but if this is difficult, it is recommended to use as many different elements as possible in the squad.

Use food for buffs and defense before the fight

To make battles easier, it is better to use potion buffs that will increase the damage of the characters. They can be crafted at any alchemy table with a small amount of materials. When choosing a potion, you should rely on the heroes of which elements are present in the squad. For example, if the team consists of Pyro and Electro characters, then it is worth getting Pyro and Electro potions. Please note that you cannot strengthen the heroes playing from physical. damage.

flame oil	Increases the Pyro damage of all party by 25% for 300 seconds.	1 frog + 1 fiery flower (stamen) + 100 pestilence.
