How To Defeat The Mech Abomination
Dodge Attacks And Avoid Using Electro Damage
The Mech Abomination is a huge enemy with slow attacks that deal a ton of damage, but the lack of mobility of this boss contrasts its large amount of health. The giant machine isan Electro element boss, meaning ithas resistance to that type of damagefrom any of your party’s skills and abilities. Some potential party members could be less effective against this robotic opponent as a result of this trait of the Abomination.
Remember tobring at least one character with healing abilitiesto keep up with the Mech Abomination’s damage dealt to your team. The bulky health of the boss can make this fight long and drawn out, so you need a way to recover from damage taken. Some recommended characters for your team are Encore, Jiyan, Baizhi, and Verina, whose variety of skills could mean the difference between victory and defeat.
Similar to bosses likeHarmonious Choir inHonkai: Star Rail, the team composition you create determines the unique strategies you’ll be able to use in the boss fight against the Mech Abomination.
How To Counter
Three Strike Combo
The main attack of the Mech Abomination where the boss swings their fists in melee strikes three times in a row.
These attacks are slow, so dodge away from the boss and wait until they are finished to close in and retaliate.
Lightning Pillars
The Mech Abomination sparks with electricity before releasing pillars of vertical lightning in a radius around it.
Find a space between two of the lightning pillars to avoid taking damage from either.
Spinning Arms
Remaining in place, the Mech Abomination spins its arms around it rapidly, damaging anyone too close to the boss.
Move or dodge away from this attack’s range, which tends to punish those who stay too close to the Abomination.
Deadly Grab
The Mech Abomination raises its left hand before attempting to grab a member of your party, dealing massive damage to whoever it manages to capture.
Notice the start-up of this attack’s animation, then dodge out of the way of the left hand when you see it raised for a grab.
As you’re able to see in the above video by YouTube creatorGosuNoob, there are pieces of debris scattered throughout the arena where you face the Mech Abomination. By using universal telekinesis abilities, you can throw pieces of rubble at the boss to stun it for a short time. Each chunk of scrap that hits the Mech Abomination also damages it, giving you a way to instantly hurt the boss without attacking or using important skills.
Rewards For Defeating The Mech Abomination
Claim The Echo And Spend Waveplates For More
Taking down the Mech Abomination will reward you witha rare Echo depending on your world’s difficulty, but you’re able to gain other items for defeating the boss. When youspend 60 Waveplates to earn other rewards, you obtain six other items for you and your party. The other rewards you have an opportunity to claim from the spent Waveplates are:
All of these additional rewards are possible drops from the boss that have higher chances of dropping when your world level is greater. For example, the rarest item or resource from this list may not appear at all if your world is set for a lower difficulty rating. In the same way you gain rarecharacter ascension materials inHonkai: Star Rail, you need to overcome extra challenges to get better rewards for victory.
As long as you stay on the defensive during the boss fight, these rewards should be easy to farm from facing the hulking machine more than once. Managing to beat the Mech Abomination multiple times inWuthering Wavescan allow you to collect rewards from the battle again and again, giving you exactly what you need to make your team stronger for new challenges.
