As Genshin Impact continues to captivate players with its ever-expanding universe, new leaks have revealed that the upcoming Version 5.3 will introduce a daunting new challenge for players: Xiuhcoatl, the Corroded Lord of the Primal Flame. Set to launch on January 1, 2025, this new weekly boss promises to raise the stakes for adventurers across Teyvat.

In this article, we’ll dive deeper into what makes Xiuhcoatl such a compelling addition to the game, including his lore, battle mechanics, and how players can prepare for the upcoming encounter. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to Genshin Impact, understanding this new boss will help you stay ahead of the curve!

Introducing Xiuhcoatl: The Pyro Sovereign Corrupted by the Abyss

Xiuhcoatl is not just any boss; he is a pivotal figure in the lore of Genshin Impact, representing the Pyro Sovereign corrupted by Abyssal forces. Players will encounter him in the first Trounce Domain in Natlan, and his introduction signifies a thematic shift in gameplay as players prepare to explore the depths of this new area.

Key Characteristics of Xiuhcoatl

  • Name: Xiuhcoatl
  • Title: Corroded Lord of the Primal Flame
  • HP: 3,190,625
  • ATK: 22,838
  • Expected Difficulty: Level 90

What to Expect When Fighting Xiuhcoatl

As players prepare for this intense encounter, there are crucial details about the battle mechanics that they should consider:

  • Xiuhcoatl wields two massive swords, suggesting fast-paced and aggressive combat mechanics that will demand excellent player reflexes.
  • Players should expect a multi-phase fight, though specific mechanics and phase transitions are yet to be detailed.
  • The story version of the fight may include unique bonuses for certain characters, such as Mavuika and the Pyro Traveler, enhancing their combat abilities specifically for this battle.

This boss fight’s difficulty is expected to be on a higher tier compared to previous weekly bosses, which means players must be prepared with optimal team compositions and strategies to defeat him.

Character and Material Usage

The materials earned from defeating Xiuhcoatl will primarily benefit two characters: Lan Yan and Mavuika. However, players looking to advance Citlali will need materials from The Knave, keeping the resource economy dynamic. With the Spiral Abyss set to be particularly advantageous for Mavuika in January, engaging with Xiuhcoatl early on in the month will be important for players who are keen on maximizing their character development.

Conclusion: Prepare for the Challenge!

The introduction of Xiuhcoatl as a weekly boss in Genshin Impact’s Version 5.3 signals an exciting new chapter for players seeking to enhance their experience in Teyvat’s rich world. As you prepare for the launch on January 1, 2025, now is the ideal time to strategize and gather your best characters. Stay tuned for further updates and in-depth guides on how to conquer Xiuhcoatl and reap the rewards of this challenging encounter.
