In Genshin Impact’s 5.5 update, players can take on the formidable new Local Legend, Reji, during the Night’s Trial. This boss is unique, boasting significant elemental resistance, resulting in reduced damage intake from powerful characters like Neuvillette and Mavuika. To succeed in this encounter, players will need to adopt specific strategies and techniques.
Conquering Reji: A Guide for Genshin Impact Players
Finding Reji’s Battle Arena
To reach Reji, travel to the waypoint near the Remnants of Tetenanco. From this point, veer slightly to the left and continue straight until you reach the edge of the cliff. Descend and you will spot an Obsidian Totem ahead. Interact with this totem to initiate the challenge and enter the Night Trial against Reji.
Strategies for Defeating Reji
Due to Reji’s substantial elemental resistance, relying solely on DPS characters will not yield effective results. It is essential to include shield-oriented characters in your party, such as Zhongli, Lan Yan, Citlali, or Kirara. Proper defense will be key to countering Reji’s high-damage attacks.
Reji features two distinct attacks, both preceded by a visual purple indicator, signaling when she’s preparing to strike. The first involves ranged Electro damage. By using shields, players can redirect these projectiles back at Reji for considerable damage. The second attack consists of a direct charge toward the player, during which a protective shield can absorb significant damage, allowing players to retaliate effectively.
Optimal Tips for Conquering Reji
To enhance your chances of defeating Reji, consider the following strategies:
- Assemble a team composed entirely of shield characters and ensure you continuously refresh their abilities to effectively counter the boss’s attacks.
- Monitor Reji’s visual indicator before she unleashes her special moves, making it easier to prepare a counterattack.
- Utilize food buffs, such as Stromcrest Pie or Moon Pie, which can significantly bolster your team’s shield strength.
Reji’s Achievements Overview
- Achievement 1 – Complete without any specific requirements; defeats yield 5 Primogems.
- Achievement 2 – Requires teamwork with multiple shielders; this achievement is earned by absorbing Reji’s attacks with a shield intact. Utilize abilities wisely, and even with just one shield remaining, you will receive 10 Primogems.
- Achievement 3 – Gain 20 Primogems by successfully deflecting four of Reji’s projectiles in succession. Stand directly in front of Reji when she attacks to maximize your deflection effectiveness.
