How to Beat Andrius (Lupus Boreas)

Avoid the Frozen Ground

Most of Lupus Boreas' attacks will only hit anyone who is within the area of the frozen ground. This can help in avoiding the attacks while also having an idea on where Lupus Boreas will be next.

Attack From a Distance

Lupus Boreas' attacks are mostly melee range so keeping your distance and attacking from afar is a good strategy. Bow users are very effective in this fight, so make sure you have them in your party!

Best Bow Users
Fischl	Amber	Tartaglia
Yoimiya	Sara

Prepare for Phase 2

When Lupus Boreas' HP is redcuded by half, he will immediately move to phase 2 and start with some charge attacks.

Use this time to replenish your stamina and wait for your abilities to cooldown. This way you can immediately use your Elemental Skills and Bursts to take him down once he is vulnerable to your attacks again.

Noelle	Amber	Lisa	Xiangling

Overload Combo

Use Lisa's Elemental attacks then switch over to Amber or Xiangling to do Pyro damage in order to trigger Overloaded elemental reactions for additional damage.

Fervent Flames

Having 2 or more Pyro element characters will activate the Fervent Flames elemental resonance. This will not only boost your overall ATK by 25%, but it will also counter Cryo effects by 40% making it the perfect Elemental Resonance for this boss fight.

Shield and Heal

Use Noelle's shield in order to reduce the damage you take especially during the 2nd Phase and be careful when using Barbara to heal as you will be affected by Hydro which will freeze you if attacked by Lupus Boreas' Cryo attacks.

Best Characters List

Andrius (Lupus Boreas) Attack Patterns

Andrius (Lupus Boreas) Phase 1

Pattern 1 - Front Swipe

A front swipe attack that can be easily avoided by stepping back to get out of its range.

Pattern 2 - Spin Attack

You can look at the frozen ground to check if you are within its range. This will allow you to avoid this attack and do some chip damage from a distance using your bow.

Pattern 3 - Pounce

A slow yet powerful pounce attack that Lupus Boreas sometimes performs. Since the frozen ground can be seen in advance when Lupus Boreas is about to perform this attack, you can avoid this by moving out of the frozen ground.

Pattern 4 - Charge

A fast-moving charge attack that takes a few seconds to perform. You can avoid this by moving left or right

Andrius (Lupus Boreas) Phase 2

Pattern 1 - Ground Slam

A powerful ground slam followed-up by an ice attack that goes on a straight line. Running left or right will allow you to avoid this attack because of its long charge-up time.

Pattern 2 - Ice Shard Rain

An ice shard that will fall from the sky from time to time during phase 2. Avoid this by immediately moving to any direction when a blue circle starts to appear on the ground.
