The Basics
•Location: Liyue: Found in the Minlin area, to the northwest of the city of Liyue.
•Element: Pyro: Its attacks and defenses are centered around the Pyro element, dealing fire-based damage.
Combat Mechanics
•Shield Phase: The Pyro Regisvine starts with a Pyro shield that needs to be broken.
•Core Exposure: After breaking the shield, its core becomes vulnerable. This is when you can deal the most damage.
•Regeneration: After taking significant damage or after a period, it regenerates its shield, potentially changing its attack pattern or summoning Pyro structures.
Attacks
•Flame Blast: Shoots out fireballs. These can be dodged by continuously moving or using obstacles for cover.
•Ground Slam: It slams the ground, creating a shockwave of fire. Dodge to the side or jump to avoid.
•Vine Sweep: Swings its vine-like arms, which can set the ground on fire. Avoid these by jumping or moving out of the flame path.
•Pyro Pillars: Occasionally summons pillars of fire. These can be dodged or destroyed with Hydro or Cryo for temporary relief.
•Explosive Petals: Sometimes, it traps you inside a circle of fiery petals. Move out or attack to break free.
Strategy
•Hydro or Cryo: Use characters like Xingqiu or Kaeya for Vaporize or Melt reactions, respectively, to maximize damage.
•Healing and Defense: Bring healers like Bennett for healing and Pyro resonance or Diona for Cryo resonance and shields.
•Avoid Fire: Keep moving to avoid being caught in its flame areas or taking continuous fire damage.
•DPS Rotation: When the shield is down, switch to your main DPS characters to maximize core damage.
Recommended Team Composition
•Hydro DPS/Support: Xingqiu for consistent Hydro application and damage.
•Cryo Support: Kaeya or Diona for Melt reactions and healing/shielding.
•Main DPS: Diluc or Hu Tao for high Pyro damage if going for a more Pyro-focused team, or another element if focusing on reactions.
•Flex: Fischl or Xiangling for additional reactions or damage support.
Tips:
•Elemental Reactions: Vaporize (Hydro + Pyro) increases Pyro damage significantly. Melt (Cryo + Pyro) can amplify your damage output if timed correctly when the core is exposed.
•Shield Breaking: Use Hydro or Cryo to break its Pyro shield faster. Physical damage from Claymore users like Noelle or Razor can also be effective.
•Mobility: Stay mobile to avoid constant fire damage. Use the environment to dodge through its attacks.
•Environmental Interaction: The area has fewer environmental hazards, but using the terrain to your advantage for dodging can be beneficial.
•Character Rotation: Keep swapping characters to maintain elemental advantage and keep up with elemental reactions.
•Focus on the Core: When the shield is down, prioritize dealing damage to the core. Use bursts and strong abilities during this phase.
•Use of Hydro: Besides dealing damage, Hydro can douse fire areas temporarily, giving you safe zones to maneuver.
Rewards
•Artifacts: You might receive artifacts from sets like Berserker, The Exile, Instructor, Gladiator's Finale, or Wanderer's Troupe (the latter being particularly useful for characters focusing on Elemental Mastery).
•Companionship EXP and Mora: Useful for increasing friendship levels with characters and for in-game currency.
General Strategy Recap
1.Preparation: Equip your team with the best Pyro resistance gear if possible. Bring Hydro or Cryo for elemental reactions, healers for longevity, and strong DPS for when the core is exposed.
2.Execution: Start by focusing on breaking its shield with Hydro or Cryo, or physical damage if more efficient.
3.Once the core is exposed, unleash your strongest abilities for maximum damage.
4.Dodge or move out of Pyro zones to avoid continuous fire damage.
5.Use environmental features for dodging or positioning to maximize damage output.
6.Adaptation: If your strategy isn't working, consider adjusting your team or tactics. More focus on healing, different elemental reactions, or switching to a more defensive setup might help.
7.Co-op Mode: If you find the Pyro Regisvine particularly challenging solo, consider using co-op. Multiple players can distribute its attention, allowing for easier shield breaking and more opportunities for elemental reactions.
Pyro Regisvine Tips
•Cooldown Management: Keep an eye on your skill cooldowns. You want to have something ready for each core exposure.
•Stamina Management: Especially important for dodging. Don’t let your stamina deplete entirely when you might need to dodge soon.
•Upgrade Your Weapons and Artifacts: Ensure your characters are well-equipped. Artifacts that boost elemental damage or elemental mastery can significantly enhance your performance.
•Learn Attack Patterns: Each time you fight, pay attention to the Regisvine's movements. Like many bosses in Genshin, its attacks follow a pattern you can learn to predict.
•Co-op Mode: If you're finding it tough solo, join or invite others. Co-op can make this fight much easier as you can divide its attention and combine elemental effects more freely.
The Pyro Regisvine is a test of dexterity and strategy, making it a fun boss to fight for both new and veteran players of Genshin Impact. If you have more specific questions or need a guide tailored for your current team composition, feel free to ask!
