How to beat Maguu Kenki in Genshin Impact Weaknesses and Abilities
To get through the Maguu Kenki boss fight, there are certain things you need to memorize.
Maguu Kenki weakness
Maguu Kenki, however, has no elemental weaknesses. As a result, ranged characters will have no edge in this battle.
As a result, the most effective strategy to combat it is to maintain constant stamina and health. You should also be mindful that once the boss’s health is half depleted, he can become more powerful.
Maguu Kenki abilities
Maguu Kenki’s special mechanic is Oni Mask. During the combat, it employs the Mask for various assaults. Its assaults come in a variety of ways, so don’t forget about all of its talents and how to deal with them.
- Protective Mask: The boss will summon an Oni Mask to secure itself from ranged charges when it’s not in the middle of something else. That’s why you should stick with melee Genshin Impact characters instead of ranged ones (Yoimiya, Venti, Diona, Ganyu…)
- Pushing Mask: The boss summons the Oni Mask and pushes it forward to deal damage to everything in its path. Avoid the damage by dashing to either side of it.
- Exploding Mask: Before exploding the Oni Mask in a vast radius, the boss will summon it atop you and deal Cryo damage. Run away from the boss when it begins summoning the mask.
- Slash: Maguu Kenki Genshin will roll out three successive slices. Post each slice, he will try to re-aim at you. As the attack is relatively slow, you can dodge it by dashing away.
- Dash: Maguu Kenki will dash to either side or towards you very fast. Despite having no damage, the boss will get closer to players this way.
- Iai – Shadowrush: The boss sheaths its sword slowly and enters Iai posture. It will rush to you after a short delay. Dodge the attack by running to the side right after the boss begins the sheathing.
- Whirlwind Slash: Also sheathing his sword and entering Iai stance, the boss will slash in a circle around himself. Just go as far away as possible once he puts the sword in the sheath.
- Frost Dive: A second sword made of Cryo will be taken out before the boss thrusts both swords into the ground and deal Cryo damage around himself. Sprint far away from him once the Cryo sword is summoned.
- Flowing Water: Maguu Kenki will slash 3 times at the player, launching slicing waves in your direction. To avoid taking damage, sprint to either side until the attack is finished.
- Phantom – Consecutive Slash: The boss will transport away a brief distance, calling a phantom to his spot. Both will charge briefly and deal harm in a circle. Dodge the attack by dashing away from Maguu Kenki and the phantom as soon as it teleports.
- Phantom – Whirlwind Slash: When the sword is sheathed, Maguu Kenki will the player you towards it. After a brief delay, the boss attacks in a humble circle, followed by a big circular slice from the phantom. You just need to sprint out from the whirlwind to not get pulled in.
- Flowing Water (Phantom): Like the normal version of Flowing Water, you can dodge this attack by continuously running to the side of it.
Although it may sound difficult, the goal is to learn to detect Maguu’s moves before his massive attacks.
Recommended characters
The ideal thing to do is to put together a lineup that includes both strong attackers and defensive characters. In order to overcome Maguu Kenki, you’ll need to strike a balance between defence and offensive.
Pyro Hu Tao, a 5-star character, may be a good primary DPS with a high damage output. You can also use Zhongli to increase your defence.
