Genshin - Hateful Oceanid

Day 2 and Day 5 Challenge

The Hateful Oceanid appears as a boss twice in the Legend of the Vagabond Sword event, as Challenge 2 and Challenge 5. This will be a difficult challenge because you'll be fighting Hydro Mimics at the same time you fight the Hateful Oceanid, much like the Raging Rhodeia boss fight!

Lament: Bitter Hate Tips and Strategies

Lament: Bitter Hate I Strategy

Use Bow Characters

Genshin - Hateful Oceanid - Bow Characters
If you select the Flair that adds Raptor Hydro Mimics to the challenge, we recommend bringing a bow character to defeat these flying enemies quickly!

Use Fitful Rapids to Avoid DMG

Genshin - Hateful Oceanid - Fitful Rapids
When a Fitful Rapid appears on the field, stand on it as soon as you can! The Fitful Rapid will shoot up and elevate you, leading you away from damage.

Skip the Shockwave Variation

Genshin - Hateful Oceanid - Do Not Select the Shockwave Variation
Selecting a Shockwave Variation might make the challenge extremely difficult. This Flair will make you take DMG every time you hit an opponent, every 8 seconds. We recommend skipping this Flair, because you might struggle finishing the challenge with it.

Lament: Bitter Hate II Strategy

Skip the Dealing CRIT Hit Flair

Genshin - Hateful Oceanid - Do Not Choose CRIT Hits Flair
Avoid choosing the flair that makes you lose HP every time you land a CRIT hit, because it can knock you out without you even knowing! We only recommend this if you can get constant healing from your party.

Use Bennett's Elemental Burst

Genshin - Hateful Oceanid - Use Bennett
We recommend using the Flair that increases your ATK by 5% whenever your HP is at 70% or below. You can use Bennett's Elemental Burst to keep you alive while keeping your HP at 70% or lower at the same time. If you don't have Bennett, you can use a character who can protect you with shields when you're running low on health!
