Easiest Way to Beat Thunder Manifestation: Stop Getting Zapped!
Facing the Thunder Manifestation? Tired of being a crispy critter? Don’t worry. We’ve all been zapped. This lightning menace zips around, unleashing thunder. But, you can beat this boss. It’s about being smart and sneaky. Think of it as outsmarting a grumpy storm cloud instead of an epic showdown.
General Strategies: Dodge Like Your Life Depends On It
Let’s start with the basics. The Thunder Manifestation is a lightning bolt with anger issues. It attacks with THUNDER! Your main job is to dodge. If dodging were an Olympic sport, this fight would be your training montage. Its electric attacks are relentless. Keep your finger on the dash button.
But here’s the good part: it has moments of vulnerability. These moments come right after big attacks. During these times, go in. Unleash your best damage. Get ready to dodge again afterward. Try hit-and-run tactics. Be patient, wait for openings, and counter when it’s vulnerable. Brute forcing won’t work here; you’ll respawn quickly.
Stamina management is crucial. This battle is a marathon. Its attacks are fast and relentless. Keep dodging and dashing. If you lose all stamina, a massive strike hits you. Keep your stamina bar in check. Take short breaks to recover. Use food buffs to conserve stamina or boost recovery. Small measures can help you survive.
Elemental Advantages: Shocking, It Hates Being Countered!
Let’s discuss elemental matchups. Elements are critical in this game. The Thunder Manifestation, being pure Electro, is immune to its own damage type. Using Electro characters seems thematic but achieves nothing. You’ll deal zero damage with this strategy, so abandon your Electro DPS unless you crave difficulty.
Exploit its weaknesses instead. Pyro and Cryo counter Electro. Fire and Ice are vital allies. They cut through the Thunder Manifestation like a knife. These elements trigger Elemental Reactions that drop its health bar fast.
Maximize Elemental Reactions like Overload (Pyro + Electro) and Superconduct (Cryo + Electro). But since it’s immune to Electro, rely on Melt (Pyro + Cryo). Superconduct reduces Physical RES, while Pyro focuses on elemental damage. Pyro characters are essential for Melt reactions and damage output.
Character Recommendations: Assemble Your Anti-Lightning Squad!
Now, who should join your fight? Focus on Pyro and Cryo Vision characters. Let’s name some top contenders for battling Thunder Manifestation.
For Pyro users, Yoimiya shines. Her arrows can melt through this boss’s health bar quickly. Klee is another solid option; her bombs deal massive damage at close range. Yanfei offers strong ranged Pyro attacks, while Amber can distract with her Baron Bunny and provide affordable damage.
Next, for Cryo options, Ganyu excels with charged shots targeting weak points. Ayaka consistently delivers Cryo damage, and Aloy contributes with Cryo bombs if leveled up.
Prioritize characters who apply consistent Pyro or Cryo damage. Choose ranged attackers for safety or mobile melee characters if you’re confident dodging. Assemble a team that fits your style while maintaining elemental advantage.
Seirai Island Storm and Warding Stones: First, You Gotta Turn Off the Weather Machine!
Before reaching the Thunder Manifestation, deal with a storm on Seirai Island first. That storm isn’t mere dramatic flair; you need to solve part of a questline first. Think of it as a challenge before the real challenge—fixing the storm to fight the boss.
This quest involves Warding Stones. These ancient devices malfunction and must be repaired. Fixing them involves rotating them to align correctly. You’ll get hints by interacting with paper charms around the area, which can take time to figure out.
The solution for the third Warding Stone requires rotating the top stone three times and the bottom stone five times. Solve this, and the storm calms down slightly. Restoring Warding Stones shrinks the storm, making it easier to navigate the island and face the Manifestation. It’s like lowering difficulty for the weather.
So before launching your strategy against the boss, ensure you handle these Warding Stones first. Calming the storm eases your fight significantly. Maybe it will even make the Thunder Manifestation less grumpy—but probably not.
