A new leak from Chinese forum NGA reveals some of the new mechanics featured with both theRockbreaker Ax variant of the Black Serpent Knightand the Frost Fall Abyss Herald.The Black Serpent Knight variantfeatures a berserk mechanic after attacking shielded characters, granting it bonus damage and resistances while making its HP temporarily immune. The berserk state also imbues the Rockbreaker Ax’s attacks with Geo damage with an eleven-second duration on the berserk status.
The Frost Fall Abyss Herald will likely serve as one of the main bosses for the newest Archon Quest, bearing similar mechanics to a domain in the game. The Frost Fall Abyss Herald will feature a stamina reduction mechanic with some attacks from the enemy reducing the player’s stamina, similar toMondstadt’s Forsaken Rift domain. The enemy will also occasionally hit players with AoE Cryo attacks alongside a mechanic that creates a shield when the Abyss Herald is on low HP. Both enemies are expected to feature prominently in Version 3.6’s Archon Quest.
The new Black Serpent Knight and Abyss Herald are not the only enemies planned for the game in the near future. A leak from late last month revealed Version 3.6 is set to introduce several new enemies, includingvariants of the game’s classic Hilichurls. Version 3.6 is also heavily rumored to be featuring a new Trounce Domain, adding Sumeru’s second weekly boss into the game. Between new enemies, characters, and story,Genshin Impact’s coming versions look to add a substantial amount of content to the RPG.
