Azhdaha is a weekly boss inGenshin Impactthat’s sealed in Nantianmen, Liyue. This giant dragon was once a friend of the Geo Archon, Morax. But as time goes by, he suffers from erosion and eventually grows hate for humanity. Because Azhdaha turns dangerous for mortals, Morax had to make a difficult decision and seal the dragon. However, later on, Azhdaha’s hate becomes so strong that it manifests in a form of a little girl, Jiu. The manifestation successfully manipulates some miners into unsealing Azhdaha’s imprisonment. Knowing this,Morax must face his old friend once more, in an attempt to protect his subjects. Luckily, after the Geo Archon exhausts the dragon’s anger, Azhdaha regains his sanity and accepts being resealed.
After facing this event,Genshin Impactplayers can come back to the domain to relive the memory of the fight. Once a week, the boss will yield some special rewards, essential for some character’s talent development. To ease this domain challenge, here are some tips players can use to beat Azhdaha inGenshin Impact.
How To Beat Azhdaha In Genshin Impact
Preparing To Fight
Before going in tofight Azhdaha inGenshin Impact, the first thing players need to do is take a look at the entrance of the Trounce Domain. There will be two colors on the seal, each representing the Element Azhdaha will take in his phases. For example, in the picture above, players can see Cryo and Hydrocolors.This means the Vishap Lord will take Hydro on his first infusion, and Cryo on the second. There are a total of four possible combinations for Azhdaha’s forms. The first infusion will be eitherPyro or Hydro, and the second is eitherCryo or Electro.
Players need toremembernot touse the same Elements as the ones marked on the entrance. This is because Azhdaha has the following resistances:
As Azhdaha will eventually have 70% resistance to the Element that he infuses, using that same identical Element will result in a large drop in DPS.
Battling Azhdaha
Most of Azhdaha’s move sets are slow and easy to dodge, where players can simply dash to the side before the boss land a hit. However, be wary of the large AoE, and don’t underestimatethe power of this large dragon.
Once the enemy reachesaround 66% HP,Azhdaha will infuse the first Element (Hydro or Pyro). He will do this for the second time (Electro or Cryo) ataround 33% HP.Note that when he transforms, numbers may still appear on the enemy, making it seem like players can still brute force him. But unfortunately, during the infusion, Azhdaha has an unseen i-frame.Avoid hitting Azhdaha until his infusion process is complete. This can prevent Elemental Bursts from being wasted.
After infusing himself with an Element, if a character is hit by Azhdaha’s attack, the character will be marked with the corresponding Element. This debuff will periodically reduce the active character’s HP, making it deadly in a short time. Luckily,this effect can be nullified by having a shield, so this protection isessential against this weekly boss. Players can also utilize cleansing to remove the debuff. Travelers can do so bycountering the debuff with another Element.

Diona’s Skill
However, this method is far less reliable than having a shield. Instead of using this, players should save the trouble and just bring a shielder.
After entering the last phase (second infusion), Azhdaha will bury himself underground, only revealing his tail to attack. Then, he will bombard the area with strong Elemental hits, making it deadly for characters to stand around the AoE. If players don’t have sufficient protection,it’s best to stay safe and hit from far away. But if Travelers are confident oftheir character’s survivability, then feel free to brute force the tail.
Note that it’s impossible to kill Azhdaha before his “tail” phase is over. Even if the player empties his HP, they’ll still need towait until Azhdaha returns to the surfacebefore being able to beat him. Sodon’t get hit until Azhdaha exit his i-frame,as Getting killed in this duration would be an awful experience. Once the boss is back to vulnerability, one small hit should end the fight.
