The Basics
•Appearance: Maguu Kenki resembles a samurai with a large, ornate sword and armor that reflects traditional Japanese aesthetics. Its design incorporates elements of both human craftsmanship and supernatural power, particularly evident in its ethereal, glowing features.
•Location: Tatarasuna: Maguu Kenki can be found in the Tatarasuna area, which is part of the Inazuma region. Specifically, it resides near the Kannazuka area, known for its volcanic and forge-related themes.
Combat Mechanics:
•Phases: Maguu Kenki's fight consists of several phases, each with distinct behaviors:
•Initial Phase: Kenki starts in a stance with a protective barrier that must be depleted before you can deal direct damage.
•Sword Techniques: After its barrier is down, it uses a series of sword techniques, including wide slashes, thrusts, and AoE attacks.
•Elemental Infusion: Throughout the fight, Kenki can infuse its sword with Electro or Cryo, adding elemental effects to its attacks.
•Sword Swings: Wide, sweeping sword attacks that cover a large area.
•Elemental Projectiles: Launches projectiles infused with Electro or Cryo.
•Charge Attack: A forward charge that can catch players off-guard if not dodged.
•Elemental Burst: Uses a powerful burst that can either freeze the ground or electrify it, changing the battle environment dynamically.
Strategy 
•Break the Barrier: Focus on reducing its barrier first with consistent damage or using elemental reactions.
•Elemental Reactions: Kenki can be susceptible to elemental reactions, particularly those that can interrupt or stagger it. Overload (Pyro + Electro) or Freeze (Hydro + Cryo) can be effective.
Team Composition
•DPS: Characters with high burst damage like Xiao, Hu Tao, or Eula can be very effective.
•Supports: Characters like Zhongli for shields or Venti for crowd control can manage the environment better.
•Healers: Given its high damage output, a healer like Jean, Qiqi, or Bennett is advisable.
•Dodge and Positioning: Kenki's attacks are telegraphed but cover a wide area, so mastering precise dodging is key.
