Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

General of the North Ai Nengqi Weakness and How to Beat

Add to Watchlist

Ai Nengqi

General of the North Ai Nengqi is an Optional Boss in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Check out Ai Nengqi's weaknesses and resistances, its location, tips on how to beat the boss, and the drops and achievements after defeating Ai Nengqi!

General of the North Ai Nengqi Weakness

Basic Information

Type Attacks Status Ailment
Large Enemy Slash, Stab
Paralysis Icon Burn Icon Frostbite Icon

Damage Type Weakness

Paralysis Icon Paralysis Blight Icon Blight
★★ ★★
Burn Icon Burn Corruption Icon Corruption
★★

Enemy weaknesses are rated from 1 to 3, with 3 being extremely effective. An X mark means the enemy is immune against the status effect.

Recommended to Use Blunt Attacks

Ai Nengqi has low mitigation to Blunt attacks, meaning he'll take more damage from them compared to Slashes and Stabs.

How to Beat General of the North Ai Nengqi

  1. Summon Nian Suichang to Split Aggro
  2. Use Lightning Spells or Lightning Tempering
  3. Get Resistances for Paralysis, Frostbite, and Burn
  4. Remain Distant to Trigger More Arrow Shots for Skyborn Might
  5. Chese Method to Gain Cover

Summon Nian Suichang to Split Aggro

Summon Nian Luichang once you enter the boss area. Be careful, as there's an animation when using the Bone Whistle that prevents you from dodging attacks until it finishes. Ai Nengqi will change targets, giving you enough time to get some damage in before it returns aggro to you.

Use Lightning Spells or Lightning Tempering

Bone Needle - LightningBone Needle - Lightning Obtained by unlocking the Skill node in the Impetus Repository.
ThunderstormThunderstorm
Obtained by defeating the elite enemy near the Rebel Camp shrine.

Ai Nengqi is an armored enemy, meaning that lightning attacks are effective for dealing damage to him. The Thunderstorm spell can be obtained by defeating the elite enemy near the Rebel Camp shrine. You'll also receive the Rebel Camp Key from the enemy to access Ai Nengqi's arena. Alternatively, you can unlock the Bone Needle - Lightning skill node in the Impetus Repository.

Get Resistances for Paralysis, Frostbite, and Burn

Ai Nengqi can inflict Frostbite and Paralysis status with his attacks, and later adds Burning from his flaming sword once his health drops to around half. Equipping armor with high resistance to these ailments will help reduce buildup and prevent being inflicted quicker.

Remain Distant to Trigger More Arrow Shots for Skyborn Might

Once Ai Nengqi leaps into the air, perform a perfect dodge against the first arrow to gain Skyborn Might. Then, stay at a distance to trigger him to fire additional arrows at you.

Skyborn Might Explained

Cheese Method to Gain Cover

If you fight Ai Nengqi near the sides of the arena, there is a good chance that he will jump to the corner and shoot his arrows from there. If he does, the impassable terrain near the entrance will block the arrows going to you if you stand behind it. Use this time to heal, change items, or reapply Temperance to your weapon.

However, this may not always work, as Ai Nengqi might land in a different spot and still hit you with his arrows.

Lightning Volley
Ai Nengqi readies five arrows, and fires them at you. All arrows are infused with Lightning and increase paralysis buildup. Dodge forward to avoid them.
Lightning Strike

Imbued Flames
Ai Nengqi performs spinning slashes while applying flames to his sword. The last part of his attack releases bouncing fireballs. Dodge backward to maintain distance during this move, so you're to evade his next attack.
Spinning Flame Arc
Ai Nengqi leaps and spins with his sword before striking as he lands. Dodge to the sides to avoid the attack, or try dodging forward as he lands to execute a heavy attack on his back.
Billow Volley
He shoots arrows into the air that fall in a circular pattern around you, where the circle gets larger per instance. Dodge forward or backward during each wave, since dodging sidewards will cause you to be hit by the adjacent lightning strike.
