Battlesong: Ingenious Impermanence Tips and Strategies

Battlesong: Ingenious Impermanence I Strategy

No Guard Against Ranged Attacks

This boss doesn't have a Mask Parry like the Maguu Kenki World Boss, so you can use ranged characters like Ganyu and Fischl against it!

Blade Wind Increases per Difficulty

The Maguu Kenki's Blade Wind increases per Difficulty. It's a long-ranged attack and, depending on the difficulty, the number of slashes jump from 2 to 6. It's difficult to dodge because it follows as you run, so bring a shield character with you!

Battlesong: Ingenious Impermanence II Strategy

Avoid Selecting the Maguu Kenki: Mask of Terror

Selecting this option would further increase the difficulty of the challenge as you would not battle just two Maguu Kenki bosses but three. The third one is the world boss Maguu Kenki so ranged attacks won't work that well on him unlike the other two!
