Apart from its high HP, and as a world boss this fight is relatively easy and here are some easy tips to breeze through it.
Guide to The Maguu Kenki Boss Fight in Genshin Impact
The Maguu Kenki is a high HP world boss that players will need to farm for Kazuha’s ascension materials. It has slow animations and was first released in Version 1.6 alongside the Golden Apple Archipelago. It featured as the last defending warrior construct still protecting the Archipelago. It was later added to the Serpent’s Head region of Yashiori Island in Inazuma, upon its release in Version 2.0. Its combat mechanics still remain the same. Below are some easy tips to beat it without a hassle.
- The Maguu Kenki is a slow boss and is infamous for its stalling which makes beating it longer and thus makes players impatient.
- This boss has two phases- one while it is above 70% health and the second stage is when its health drops below 70%.
- In its first phase, it deals physical damage while in its second phase it deals elemental damage of Anemo and Cryo elements.
- Its melee attacks can be best dodged if you keep circling and attacking it. In its second phase, it releases a phantom and they both do AoE Anemo and Cryo attacks. Staying out of their range is good enough. It also does elemental dash attacks which you can just dodge by moving out of their way. It also does an attack using its mask shield which you should make sure to never face directly.
- The key to besting this ancient Halloween puppet is patience, timing and melee.
- The Maguu Kenki has natural defenses and counters to ranged attackers and thus we recommend melee characters for this fight- unless you are good at using ranged characters at close range.
- Most of its attacks take a whole lot of preparation time and can be seen coming from a mile away. Time your dodges right or just use a shielder. If you don’t have Zhongli then using Diona as her Cryo shield is effective against the Maguu Kenki’s Cryo attacks.
- Don’t stray too far as you won’t be able to attack it and it will keep following you through its teleportation mechanic.
- We also recommend double Pyro in your team for the Pyro resonance which increases all character’s Attack by 25%.
- Its attack patterns are slow and can be easily predicted on the battlefield. Chipping away at its health with a strong melee character and a shielder is the most ideal way of beating this old rusty puppet.
The Maguu Kenki is one of the easier ones among Genshin Impact’s newer tankier bosses. Though it takes comparatively more time to beat, it’s still an easy fight if you can manage to dodge most of its attacks which is very easy. Good luck with your Kazuha pulls! We hope you win the 50/50.
