Confront Stormterror

Facing Stormterror in Genshin Impact? This guide breaks down the boss fight, its phases, weaknesses, and strategies to help you defeat the Anemo Dragon.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Boss: Stormterror (Anemo Dragon)
• Weaknesses: While Stormterror is largely resistant to Anemo, it is vulnerable to Pyro, Hydro, Electro, and Cryo attacks when not actively using its shields. Its weak points are the glowing orbs on its wings and body.
• Resistances: High resistance to Anemo.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Aerial Assault
   Stormterror will fly around the arena, unleashing various Anemo-based attacks. You'll need to use the wind currents to ascend and attack its wings.
2. Phase 2: Grounded Combat
   After taking enough damage, Stormterror will land. This phase involves more direct combat, dodging its sweeping attacks and elemental breaths.
3. Phase 3: Shielded Form
   Stormterror will periodically summon Anemo shields. During this time, it becomes highly resistant to damage. You'll need to break these shields quickly by attacking the glowing orbs on its body and wings.
4. Phase 4: Final Stand
   Once its shields are down, Stormterror will be vulnerable for a final onslaught. Focus all your damage here to end the fight.

Strategy:

• Utilize Wind Gliders: Throughout the fight, especially in the aerial phases, use the wind currents to your advantage to dodge attacks and reach Stormterror's weak points.
• Target Weak Points: Always aim for the glowing orbs on its wings and body. These are crucial for dealing significant damage and breaking its shields.
• Elemental Variety: Bring a team with diverse elemental damage types (Pyro, Hydro, Electro, Cryo) to exploit Stormterror's vulnerabilities, especially when its shields are down.
• Dodge and Weave: Stormterror has powerful AoE attacks. Learn its attack patterns and practice dodging to minimize damage taken.
• Shield Breaking: When Stormterror shields itself, prioritize breaking those shields by hitting the orbs. Ignoring them will prolong the fight considerably.
