Tips and Strategies to Beat Wayob Manifestations in Genshin Impact

Break the shield of the enemies as quickly as possible

In general, Wayob Manifestations are not particularly tough enemies to beat, but you can optimize your combat strategy by going into the fight and knowing what the opponents do and their weaknesses. As previously mentioned, there are currently three types of Wayob Manifestation. The Flow-Inverted Wayob Manifestation is a Hydro Enemy, whereas the Foliar-Swift Wayob Manifestation is a Dendro Enemy. Finally, the rock-cavernous Wayob manifestation is a geo enemy. how so The enemies have increased resistance to the elements they relate to. For example, Flow-Inverted Wayob Manifestations have 50% RES to Hydro DMG in Genshin ImpactWhich can affect strategies.

If you’re facing Flow-Inverted Wayob Manifestations, try to use a team comp that doesn’t rely on Hydro DMG as the main source of damage output. When faced with a rock-cavernous variant, Geo DMG will not do as much damage as other elements. Wayob manifestations in the overworld use a lot of AoE (area of ​​effect) attacksThey are circular explosions to linear laser beam shots. These movements are almost always ordered and telegraphed, so be sure to move away from the telegraphed areas. However, all Wayob manifestations share a central combat mechanic Genshin Impact.

After some time in battle, All Wayob manifestations create an arena. By doing so, the Natlan enemies gain a non-elemental shield, preventing their HP from being lowered before the shield is destroyed. To destroy it, just damage it. Within the arena created by the Wayob Manifestations, All your characters will lose their energy and cannot recover itHowever, in compensation, they will deal increased damage – and characters that deal Nightsoul-aligned damage receive an extra damage bonus on top of that provided to all characters, meaning Natlan characters in Genshin Impact are at an advantage.

In the arenas, Wayob Manifestations will also use special types of attacks that are different from their regular skills. Regardless of the elemental type of the opponent, the damage will come in three instances. It is important to do that The shield must be destroyed as quickly as possible, because there is an unspoken timer for the arena. If the shield is not removed and the arena ends, the Wayob Manifestation will unleash its most powerful attack, dealing 100% of its ATK as elemental DMG. In addition, the rest of his shield will be converted into an elemental shield related to his type.

If you can destroy his shield before the arena ends, elemental particles will be created and restore the energy of your characters, allowing you to use elemental bursts. Once the shield is destroyed, Wayob manifestations will also be staggered for a short timeAllowing you to deal damage without the risk of being attacked. In general, the main strategies with Wayob Manifestations involve using appropriate elemental-type characters, dodging their telegraph attacks and breaking their shields as soon as possible.

Wayob manifestations are not difficult enemies to take down, outside of those present as local legends in Night’s Trials. Their scarcity is somewhat problematic, considering that their materials are needed for the ascent of some new Natlan weapons. This means that you will probably be forced to run farming routes and try not to miss any Wayob manifestations available on the map to increase your material gains. Hopefully, more Wayob Manifestations will be added Genshin Impact 5.1 and beyond, making the farming process much easier.
