In the upcoming Genshin Impact 4.6 update, players might face a tough challenge with the introduction of a new world boss, according to leaks circulating online.
While Version 4.5 just rolled out, bringing Chiori into the playable character roster, attention is already turning to what’s next.
Among the buzz surrounding the imminent release of Arlecchino in Genshin Impact 4.6, leaks suggest additional content on the horizon.
According to details leaked by a user named HomDGCat on Reddit, the rumored new world boss, dubbed Golem Captain, is expected to drop essential Ascension materials for Arlecchino.
However, a significant hurdle awaits players: Golem Captain supposedly boasts a colossal Geo shield, boosting its resistance by a staggering 100%.
This shield appears even more formidable than the pillars of the Geo Hypostasis, signaling a need for strategic team compositions and Geo characters.
HomDGCat’s intel indicates that the Golem Captain could have 32U Geo, surpassing the 24U of the Geo Hypostasis’ pillars.
Notably, popular Geo character Zhongli’s abilities fall short, dealing only 15U Geo, less than half the required amount to penetrate the rumored boss’s armor.
The suggested approach involves leveraging a blend of Geo abilities and claymore attacks, which inflict extra damage against Geo shields.
Characters like Arataki Itto are poised to excel in dismantling the Golem Captain’s shield.
However, assembling an optimal team to tackle both the boss’s resilient shield and its substantial HP pool may prove challenging for players who haven’t invested in Geo-focused lineups.
While defeating Golem Captain without a Geo-heavy team isn’t impossible, it’s anticipated to be a lengthy endeavor, potentially diminishing the battle’s enjoyment and challenge.
As with all leaks, it’s wise to exercise caution, as details may change before the official release. More insights on the new world boss are expected during the Genshin Impact 4.6 livestream, slated for mid-April.
