The first phase of the battle is very complex, as it involves a few mechanics that you need to utilize to your advantage.

When you enter the door to start the boss fight,you will notice some elemental Matrices on the ground, and they all work differently. Once youcharge your Akasha Terminal by collecting energy blocks, you can activate a Matrix.

During the first phase, Scaramouche will use the elements that are shown on the matrices below against you. It will summonthree Anemo Tornadoes and apply Hydro to themto turn them into Whirlpools. When the boss places his hand on the ground after attacking, that’s your chance to attack it.

The boss willstart charging up electricity into a ball. When it does that, it’s time to brace for a strong attack as it will soon discharge all that Electro energy on the ground. To dodge this attack, you need toquickly activate the Anemo Matrixby collecting energy blocks. A stream of air will flow from the ground, and you can use your glider to get high up and avoid damage.

Scaramouche will hit you with a Pyro or Cryo attack in a sweeping motion, followed by a Cryo or Pyro slam on the ground. You can dodge it bymoving in the opposite direction of its handwhen it starts to charge the Pyro attack. It may also hit you with a Pyro or Cryo ground slam without doing a combo.

verify that the ground is not too frozen or too burned up, or you might be unable to activate Matrices during crucial moments.

To immobilize the boss, you need toactivate two Electro Matrices to overload it. When you activate the first one, the boss will stop moving around, and instead, it will charge up Electro energy in one of its hands and will damage you by discharging it. You can avoid it by looking out for the range of the attack projected at your character.

You need to activate both Electro Matrices as quickly as possible, otherwise, Scaramouche will recover and hit you with a wave of Electro to damage you.

Sometimes, the boss will summon a few Electro beams around itself and these will move around the field. To avoid this attack, you need tosummon an air stream by activating the Anemo Matrix.

Second Phase

If you just survived Scaramouche’s aggressive first phase, you’re able to certainly not rest easy, as things start to really heat up during the second phase. You have to watch out for lethal attacks while alsodamaging the shield of the colossal Shouki no Kami.

For this battle, the Neo Akasha Terminal will accompany you to inflict regular Dendro damage on Shouki no Kami. You cancharge up the Terminal by collecting energy blocksaround the field to deal a powerful Dendro attack that will greatly damage the boss’s shield.

If you pull your characters towards the energy blocks by using Sigils, you will be able tocollect them faster.

This phase of battle can be pretty overwhelming, as Scaramouche will hit you with a variety of elements in rapid attacks that are hard to avoid. It will attack on the ground with multiple Anemo and Hydro hits combined. You can evade it bymoving away from the centre of the fieldwhere the range of the attack is marked.

It will alsothrow a few elemental bombs,and you might want to steer clear from them. Though,you cantake them down with Elemental damage. To destroy them, we recommend you to use elemental damage that is strong against the bomb’s element. So, use Dendro or Cryo for Hydro bombs, Pyro for Cryo bombs, and Hydro or Electro for Pyro bombs.

If Shouki no Kami charges twice with Electro, brace for a powerful attack andavoid the marked circular range of the attack. Keep sprinting till you are out of this range. The boss will slam one hit after the other on the ground, damaging you greatly if you fail to avoid any of them.

A few moves are a bit tricky to avoid, and you are better off using a shielder.Scaramouche will vanish from the field, and will suddenly sprint towards you with a Pyro and Cryo attack followed by one after another. Shouki no Kami willsummonElectro portalsaround itself and shoot off Electro projectiles your way. You can evade it by using the marked range of the hits on the field.

Once you deplete its shield, Scaramouche willsummon Nirvana Engines for its Setsuna Shoumetsu Cometh attack. You need to act quickly and destroy all the engines that it summons before it commences the one-hit-kill move. We recommend youdestroy the Electro engines with Pyro or Cryo attacks. you’re able to take down the three flying engines with ranged attacks.

After destroying all Engines, collect all the energy blocks from the ground, andhit the boss with a powerful attack from the Akasha Terminal, Once you do that, Scaramouche will become immobilized and you can finish him off before he recovers.
