Recommended team
No immunity to Cryo and Anemo elements
Despite the fact that this boss belongs to Anemo and Cryo elements, it does not have immunity to the corresponding elements, so you can use Chun Yun or Xiao to damage this opponent without any problems.
Use melee characters
Maguu Kenki is able to parry any ranged attacks with his shield-like mask, so you'll need to get close to him to deal damage. A good option may be characters aimed at causing physical damage, for example, Eula or Keqing.
Use characters with a shield
This boss has several area-of-effect attacks, and you need to stay close to him at all times. Therefore, we advise you to take a character who is able to impose shields on his allies.
Optimal squad options
Considering the elemental type of Maguu Kenki and the need to hit him close, we advise you to use some Pyro hero with a melee weapon as your main damage dealer. Below are the most interesting commands.
- Primary damage: Hu Tao, Yanfei, Diluc, Xiangling, Klee or Xinyan
- Secondary damage dealer: Xingqiu, Rosaria, Fischl, Ganyu, Mona or Beidou
- Support (Traveling Doctor): Barbara or Bennett
- Support (Noelle: Protector): Zhongli, Noelle or Diona
How to beat Maguu Kenki
Movements and attacks
wide cut
The boss first sheathes the blade, and then inflicts a powerful wide horizontal cut that can knock the character down. At this point, you should quickly run to the enemy behind your back.
Childe: Foul Legacy Noelle: Protector
The boss creates a Noelle: Protector from two halves of the mask, which protect him from long-range attacks. You can try to break through the defense if you run behind him.
Vertical attack
Maguu Kenki creates his Cryo Clone, which performs an upward strike, knocking the hero down.
ice step
The enemy creates a clone, and then quickly steps back. The copy left ahead strikes anyone still standing in front of it.
Anemo cut
Maguu Kenki swings his sword, creating an Anemo blade flying towards the hero.
cryo explosion
The boss creates an ice blade, and then explodes, dealing damage in an area. Before that, you should put a Noelle: Protector on the character or quickly run away from the enemy.
Strategy and tactics of combat
Maguu Kenki becomes more aggressive over time
When the boss's health bar drops to 70%, he will begin to behave more aggressively: he will move faster and hit more often.
Clones take no damage
Hitting the boss's phantoms does not damage him, so don't waste your attention on them, trying to hit only the Maguu Kenki himself.
Attack from afar when the boss strikes
The enemy does not always take cover behind a shield-mask to protect himself - sometimes he prepares to attack. At this point, your Onion or catalyst can damage him, so remember to shoot him when you are standing far from him.
Clones deal Cryo and Anemo damage
At a high level of the world, the phantoms summoned by the boss are able to deal elemental damage. When interacting with other elements, Anemo can cause Elemental Reaction: Swirl, thereby increasing the damage inflicted on you. Therefore, try not to get hit by clones.
Run away as soon as the boss raises two blades
Towards the end of the battle, Maguu Kenki can draw two swords from their scabbards at once. After that, he performs a powerful blow that deals damage in an area. Therefore, when you see that the boss is holding two blades, immediately run away from him.
Many attacks can be dodged
Usually the boss attacks directly in the forehead, so they are quite easy to dodge. You just need to make a dash to the side in time. In addition, the boss will be vulnerable to your counters for a few seconds.
