In Genshin Impact Azhdaha is elite boss, added to the game With You the release of update 1.5. As with Dwalin, you can only receive a reward for defeating him once a week. In this guide, we will tell you where to find him and how to unlock him, as well as give you tips on choosing the best team and combat strategy to kill him.
Where to find and how to unlock Azhdaha
To do this, you will need to complete the 2nd chapter of the Zhongli legends quest called "No Mere Stone" , available from adventure rank 40. As part of this quest, you will discover dungeon "Beneath the Dragon-Queller" in the Mount Hulao area and fight this boss for the first time (he will be noticeably weaker than in the weekly challenges).
After that, you can teleport to the desired "dungeon" at any time and start a fight with this enemy. However, you should be aware that in order to receive a reward for killing him, you will need at least 60 units of primordial resin (or 30 if this is your first weekly boss after the reset).
Let's add that the fact of the fight with the boss is reset to 04:00 every Monday. That is, you can fight with him any number of times, but you can only take the reward once a week.
Recommended characters to fight Ajdaha
Best team
- Primary DPS: Diluc or Razor (a two-handed sword deals significant damage to a stone dragon)
- Secondary DPS: Zhongli, Ningguang, or Albedo (to create Geo Resonance) Support: Noelle (allows you to create shields)
- Traveling Doctor: Qiqi, Bennett or Barbara (heals the team in critical situations).
Zhongli (Albedo, Ningguang) and Diluc (Razor) will be your main DPS in this fight, as Geo abilities and two-handed swords work great against Azhdaha thick hide. Zhongli and Noelle will constantly protect the squad with their shields. Bennett, by the way, when used with Dilyuk, will increase the attack power of the team.
Free team
- Primary Damager: Noelle
- Secondary Damage: Xiangling
- Support: Traveler (Anemo)
- Traveling Doctor: Barbara
Noelle will be able to deal a lot of damage to the boss with his two-handed sword. She will also protect your team from Azhdaha attacks and abilities by placing barriers. Due to the variety of elements, you will get increased resistance to different elements.
How to defeat Azhdaha
Combat Tips and Strategies
Can change the element
Like Ancient Geovishap, Azhdaha can change its base element. You can find out which element the boss will use in battle using the signs depicted on the plate in front of the arena entrance. So you can prepare in advance for the battle, for example, take the heroes who can deal the most damage to the enemy.
Take on the characters making shields
The boss can deal massive damage and destroy your group if you are not ready for his attacks. The fact is that Hydro, Electro, Pyro and Cryo attacks of the enemy are able to impose marks on a hero who does not have a shield. Because of it, he will take elemental damage for a long time.
For this reason, be sure to have a fighter on your team who can shield the team using their skills or the Crystallize elemental reaction. That is why we advise you to take Noelle to any squad.
Watch the ground to anticipate attacks
Most of Azhdaha's attacks include additional markers that can be seen on the surface of the arena. Keep an eye on them so you know where you need to dash to avoid an enemy strike.
Run away when Azhdaha starts to absorb energy
If you see a warning that the boss is about to absorb energy, then this means that the battle will soon move on to the next phase.
At this point, the enemy will make several unblockable attacks around him. In order not to take damage from them, run away from the enemy as quickly as possible. Also prepare a Noelle: Protector so as not to get a mark. Wait until the boss absorbs the element and then fight him again.
Movements and attacks of Azhdaha
Impact from underground
The boss burrows underground, which prevents the characters from inflicting damage on him. At the same time, he continues to attack the player, throwing boulders. Their fall is marked by a circle on the ground. Seeing this, immediately make a dash to the side.
Underground kick 2
The enemy again burrows underground, but this time actively moves under it towards the hero. If he hits the character, he will knock him down. In addition, boulders will continue to fall from above (watch out for circles).
Bombing
Azhdaha fires several stone spikes from its back that explode after a certain period of time, dealing area damage. The places of their fall are shown by circles on the ground. When you see them, run away immediately.
Jump kick
The boss jumps up and then lands on the ground, creating a powerful shockwave. This attack has a very large damage radius, so run away from the enemy as quickly as possible.
Single stomp
Another area-of-effect attack. The boss raises his paw, and then strongly hits the ground with it. As a result, there are 3 shock waves with a small radius of destruction. Of course, one should not stand close to the dragon at this point in time.
Snatch kick
The boss tilts his head slightly and then runs towards the player. This attack is quite easy to spot, so you can dodge it without any problems, especially if you are standing far from the enemy.
Earthquake
Azhdaha raises its head and paw and then kicks the ground, creating an earthquake in a straight line. Naturally, he will aim in your direction, so when you see the preparation for an attack, immediately run to the side.
Furious Stomp
Similar to a single stomp, but differs from it in that the boss alternately raises its paws and hits the ground with them, creating multiple shock waves. Their radius is much larger, so we advise you to immediately run away from the enemy to a safe distance.
