Boss Argenti in Honkai Star Rail: How to Win

Argentina in Honkai: Star Rail is not only game character, but also the boss - it is from this angle that we will look at it in this article. We will analyze in detail its characteristics and method of combat, as well as select the best teams for battle and draw up a battle strategy.

Where to find Argenti

You can meet a follower of the Eon of Beauty as an enemy in his companion mission "Night of Cosmic Hallucinations". At the beginning of the quest, you will need to destroy about half of his HP in the first phase, and closer to the end of the task, you will have to fight to the end. It is possible that in the next updates we will meet this boss in Virtual universe or Hall of Oblivion.

Characteristics of Argenti

The knight has physical, ice and fire vulnerabilities, and has a 20% resistance to other types of damage. In addition, he has 50% control resistance.

One of his skills allows him to summon assistants who have the following characteristics:

• “Shield”: physical and electrical vulnerabilities, 20% resistance to other types of damage

• “Spear”: physical and fire vulnerabilities, 20% resistance to other types of damage

• "Rewarded": physical and ice vulnerabilities, 20% resistance to other damage types

Featured Characters

The most effective characters in battle will be those with physical, icy and fiery types of damage. We advise you to assemble a team of at least 2 of these elements in order to effectively destroy the creatures summoned by Argenti.

Heroes on the path of Erudition or Destruction are well suited for the role of the main or sub-damager - that is, those who can deal damage to several targets at the same time. If you have several such heroes, we advise you to give preference to fighters with physical damage types: Clara and Argenti. All statues have a common physical vulnerability, so this will make it easier for you to get rid of them.

As a support, we recommend taking a healer or a strong shield warrior, as well as a hero who can remove buffs from enemies: Lochu or Pelu. The damage type of a healer or buffer is not so important, so it is better to choose the most pumped character in your collection.

Top teams

Below are a few commands that are good for fighting the boss. The characters in them are almost always replaceable: you can customize all the units to suit you, based on our recommendations above.

Argenti's Combat and Attack Phases

The fight with Idrila's follower takes place in 2 stages. True, the two phases differ only in the number of creatures summoned by Argenti: in the first phase there can only be two of them at a time, in the second - already 4. As far as we know, in the first phase, statues are summoned randomly. In the second, Argenti always summons 2 Spears (standing at the edges), 1 Awarded (to the left of Argenti) and 1 Shield (to the right of Argenti).

Next, let's look at the attacks of Argenti and his assistants. Note that in both phases they are the same.

Argenti

Piety

Deals physical damage to one hero.

Ode to the Bravery of Beauty

Deals physical damage to all your allies.

Achieving Godliness

Deals physical damage to one hero and the characters adjacent to him.

Spear and shield

Summons statues. In the first phase, Argenti summons 2 assistants at once, in the second - 4 at once.

Spirit of Perseverance

Frees the soul of one of the statues and strengthens all statues on which this skill was applied.

A spear

Arrival of the Knight of Beauty

Strikes all targets with physical damage.

Cupid of destined death

When dying, it deals damage to all its allies.

A spear with Argenti's soul freed deals more damage.

Shield

Circlet of Salvation

Places a Barrier on Argenti. Barrier is a status that allows you to avoid any damage other than periodic damage. The effect ends after receiving an attack.

Imitation of insatiable desire

When dying, it gives a Barrier to the attacking character.

A shield with the soul freed by Argenti is capable of placing a Barrier on all heroes. Thus, Circlet of Salvation will grant status to all your opponents, and Imitation of Insatiable Desire will grant status to all your allies.

Awarded

Blood Queen's Reward

Applies 1 level of damage boost to Argenti. There can be 3 such levels in total, each adding +12% damage.

Stone of a crumbling foundation

Upon receiving a finishing blow, grants 1 level of damage enhancement to the attacking character. There are also 3 levels, but each adds +20% damage.

A soul awarded with a freed Argenti increases the levels of both skills by 2.

How to defeat Argenti

Having carefully familiarized ourselves with the skills of the helper statues, we can notice that their death is extremely beneficial for us: this way we can inflict additional damage, receive a kind of shield and increase our own damage. Thus, during the battle, it is better to focus on destroying the statues at first. If your heroes have good survivability, we recommend waiting until the statues receive soul release from Argenti: then the bonus from their destruction will increase. Otherwise, it is better to finish off the statues as quickly as possible before they cause additional damage to you. This is especially true for the second phase, where there will be 2 Spears on the field with Argenti at once. However, when the main boss has little HP left (10-20%), it will be easier to concentrate all your damage on him and not prolong the battle.

In addition, keep an eye on Argenti himself: having received a damage bonus from the Decorated, he can inflict huge damage on your entire squad. Regularly check Argenti for this bonus and, if necessary, remove it using the skills of your heroes.
