Genshin Impact - Magatsu Mitake Narukami No Mikoto Weekly Boss Guide

Despite being a relatively recent release, Raiden Shogun has built up quite an impressive reputation for herself within Genshin Impact. Not only is she the star of Inazuma’s Archon Quests, but she now lays claim to two Story Quests of her own as well. This is without even mentioning the fact that she’s arguably the game’s most popular playable character.

Raiden Shogun hits fast and hard, so characters prioritizing survivability are recommended. Even the most adept Genshin Impact players might have trouble evading every attack she dishes out, so a character that provides shields can ease this burden on your dodge button. Zhongli is the classic recommendation here since his shield is the most formidable in the game, but Diona , Noelle , or even Thoma could work in a pinch.

Healers can also alleviate some of the pressure from Raiden Shogun’s offensive onslaught, but you’ll still have to be wary of attacks with high, single instances of damage (a.k.a. everything during Raiden Shogun’s Baleful Shadowlord phase). Sangonomiya Kokomi and Barbara are great options here since they can heal your characters without relying solely on their Bursts, but Jean or Qiqi work as well.

Bennett can also work, especially for added damage during Raiden Shogun’s vulnerable phase, but the constant self-inflicted Overload Reactions combined with Raiden Shogun’s lightning-fast maneuverability means that it can be hard to utilize his Burst effectively.

In terms of actually taking down Raiden Shogun’s health bar, the game’s traditional DPS characters all work pretty well. Cryo characters like Ganyu and Kamisato Ayaka or Pyro characters such as Hu Tao and Yoimiya help destroy the Baleful Shadowlord’s Electro shield and dealing consistently high amounts of damage.

Putting at least one Electro character on your team isn’t a bad idea for dealing with the Flowers of Remembrance, and you could even use Raiden Shogun herself to do this if you’re feeling thematically inclined to do so.

Magatsu Mitake Narukami No Mikoto Attack Patterns

Magatsu Mitake Narukami No Mikoto is one of the strongest bosses you will face in the game. Her attacks can be difficult to dodge if you are unfamiliar with her complicated moveset with various pole and sword combos. Other than melee attacks, you must also be ready to face her AOE attacks which span across the entire field.

First Phase
Attack	Description	How To Avoid
Quick Electric Dash And Slash	Raiden will quickly charge up an attack and dash toward you to deal Electro damage. This is followed by two slashes.	As soon as you see her charging up an attack, dash on either side to dodge. Be on your guard to also dodge the slash attacks.
Electro Projectiles	Raiden will shoot about five Electro projectiles in succession.	Observe the direction of the projectile and dodge by quickly running away from it.
Raiden Clones	Raiden will make three clones. The Fake ones will do a line-shaped attack, while the real ones will do a cross-shaped attack.	Evade all attacks and quickly defeat the clone who does the cross attack. After you defeat it, Raiden will be immobilized for a while, however, make sure to dodge her follow-up attack when you see her recovered.
Electro Circles	Raiden will create a ring by making Electro Circles on the ground. The circles will deal you Electro Damage followed by her attack in the middle of the ring.	When you see the circles forming on the ground, move outwards quickly to avoid getting caught up in the ring.
Polearm Attacks	Raiden Shogun will do a polearm attack in combination and will end it in a burst of electricity.	Before Raiden does this attack, she will swing her polearm. You have to dash in the opposite direction to get away from it. Stay away from Raiden and you will not get caught up in the final attack.
Aggressive Polearm attack combo	This attack combo is much more aggressive and Raiden hits you with a polearm three to four times. She finishes off the attack by dealing Electro damage in a circle around her. Raiden may follow it up with another finishing attack after teleporting.	You can recognize this attack when Raiden brings her polearm toward her back in an attacking stance. Dodge backward and stay away from the range of her polearm.
Magatsu Electroculi	Raiden will summon Electroculi that will cover the entire field to deal electro damage.	Destroy any Electroculus to avoid getting damaged.
Second Phase
Waves of blades	Raiden will shoot up waves of attacks with her blades.	Observe the direction of the waves, and steer clear of their pathway.
Sword smash	Raiden will smash the ground with her sword dealing a lot of damage to anything in front of her. She may follow it up with a single sword attack.	When you see her lifting up the sword, move away from her front quickly. Dash quickly towards the sword to dodge the follow-up attack.
Giant Sword	Raiden disappears and summons a giant hand that will knock out any character on the field.	Quickly hit the Flowers of Remembrance with Electro attacks to summon a barrier that will keep you safe.
Spear waves	Raiden will place three spears on the ground which will send off Circular waves of energy dealing Electro damage.	Dodge the waves approaching you by jumping and dashing as necessary.

How To Beat Magatsu Mitake Narukami No Mikoto

Often considered the strongest of the Archons, Raiden Shogun certainly puts her full power on display in this encounter. It will demand your best teams and your sharpest mechanics lest you want to be consumed by eternity.

Raiden Shogun will begin the fight in one of two stances: Musou Isshin Stance or Engulfing Lightning Stance. She attacks with a sword in the former and a polearm in the latter, with each weapon possessing a unique set of attacks.

Aside from the constant assault of melee and ranged attacks, there are a few key techniques to look out for during her Musou Isshin Stance. The first is when Raiden Shogun splits herself into four illusions that launch lightning blades toward you. You’ll need to damage the real Raiden Shogun to end this attack; identify her by finding the illusion that shoots an X-shaped slash at you.

The Musou Isshin Stance also features an attack where Raiden Shogun points her sword to the sky and begins charging up. This action precedes a storm of AoE lightning strikes and a deadly barrage of slashes surrounding Raiden Shogun. Run to the outskirts of the arena to best avoid this attack.

During her Engulfing Lightning Stance, Raiden Shogun will again unleash constant flurries of melee slashes and ranged attacks. Unique to this Stance is an attack in which she summons up to three Magatsu Electroculi around the arena. Any nearby Magatsu Electroculi must be destroyed with rapid hits to prevent it from exploding in a large burst of Electro DMG.

Raiden Shogun will switch between the two Stances after certain attacks. In both Stances, though, she will occasionally shield herself upon taking melee damage. Continuing to hit her in this state will eventually break her shield, but watch out for her counterattack when this happens.

Regardless of her Stance, Raiden Shogun will also slowly accumulate Ominous Destiny, indicated by a meter under her health bar. This meter will fill faster when she hits you with attacks, and she will enter the Baleful Shadowlord form when it’s filled up.

Raiden Shogun’s Baleful Shadowlord form is not nearly as subtle as her previous Stance switches. She assumes a truly deific appearance and powers up in every aspect. While she maintains her Baleful Shadowlord form, Raiden Shogun has massively increased RES to every DMG type, an Electro shield, stronger attacks, and will also drain the Energy of your active character.

This form features a similar array of basic attacks (except this time they hurt a lot more) along with several unique ones. If you see a sparking shadow zooming towards you, get ready for a giant fist that will soon punch out of the ground at your location.

If Raiden Shogun plants three electrified javelins in the ground, get ready for a high-stakes game of jump rope since you must avoid successive waves of Electro DMG. Generally try to stay close to Raiden Shogun in this form as well, since she has a dash attack that can close in on you anyway and cannot be dodged.

If Raiden Shogun covers herself and disappears into an eye-shaped void in the sky, this indicates her most powerful attack. An orb-like Flowers of Remembrance will be left on the ground and must be hit with Elemental attacks to charge up.

Electro attacks are especially effective for this, and fully charging the orb will deploy a shield that will protect you from Raiden Shogun’s incoming strike. Failure to deploy this shield will almost always guarantee instant death for your active character.

To remove Raiden Shogun from her Baleful Shadowlord state, you must fully deplete her Electro shield. This is best done via Cryo and Pyro DMG; however, Raiden Shogun will also consume a portion of her shield each time she attacks. In this way, it is possible to wait until she depletes the shield on her own, but waiting for so long simply increases the chances she has to destroy your team.

Once her shield is taken down, Raiden Shogun will revert to her normal form and become stunned for a short period. All your Elemental Bursts will be automatically recharged and Raiden Shogun will have decreased RES during this time, so pull out everything you have to deal damage during this phase.

If you fail to defeat Raiden Shogun at this moment, she will return to her Musou Isshin Stance or Engulfing Lightning Stance. Once again, she will begin accumulating Ominous Destiny, so make sure to beat her before it’s fully charged up unless you want to duke it out with her Baleful Shadowlord form a second time.
