Genshin Impact fans, get ready for a rocky challenge! A recent leak suggests version 4.6 will introduce a formidable new world boss: the Golem Captain.
Genshin Impact 4.6 Leak Hints at Geo-Heavy New World Boss: Golem Captain
Based on leaks from HomDGCat and Team Mew, the Golem Captain appears as a colossal centaur clad in imposing mecha armor. Towering over Arlecchino by a factor of three, this metallic monstrosity boasts a fearsome arsenal. Brace yourselves for:
- Weapon Charging: The boss charges its weapon, presumably unleashing a devastating attack.
- Burning Blade Toss: It throws giant, flaming blades at players, demanding swift dodging skills.
- Ground Burn: The boss creates a scorching structure on the ground, inflicting damage within a circular area.
The Golem Captain’s most noteworthy feature might be its ability to generate a potent Geo shield. This shield is rumored to increase the boss’s resistance by a staggering 100%. Leaker HomDGCat estimates this shield to be considerably stronger (around 30%) than the Geo Hypostasis’ pillars.
This formidable shield hints at the importance of strategic team compositions, particularly those featuring Geo characters. Here’s what we might expect:
- Geo Power: Characters like Zhongli, with his powerful Geo abilities, might be crucial for breaking the Golem Captain’s shield. However, leaks suggest his attacks deal less than half the Geo damage needed to completely shatter it.
- Claymore Advantage: Claymore users, known for their effectiveness against Geo shields, could also play a vital role. Characters like Arataki Itto could potentially shred through the Golem Captain’s defense.
- Team Composition Considerations: The leaks suggest a well-balanced team featuring Geo characters and claymore users might be optimal for efficiently dealing with the shield and the boss’s hefty health bar. Travelers who haven’t invested in Geo-focused teams may face a tougher challenge.
While a Geo-centric team might be ideal, leaks also suggest that defeating the Golem Captain without Geo characters might be possible, though significantly more time-consuming. Remember, leaks should always be taken with caution as they can be inaccurate or subject to change. We can expect more information, including confirmation of the Golem Captain, during the Genshin Impact 4.6 livestream likely happening in mid-April.
