Raiden Shogun Boss Fight Heading to Genshin Impact 2.5

During the 2.5 Genshin Impact Special Program, a Raiden Shogun boss fight appeared. The new fight was teased both in the story trailer and later in the stream. It showed a new form of the character. There will also be a new Shadowy Husk line of enemies.

First, here’s the Genshin Impact teaser clip for the Raiden Shogun boss fight. During the presentation, this boss wasn’t even named. Instead, the character ended up being referred to only as “new boss.”

Next, here’s a gameplay clip showing the Shadowy Husk. There will be three types. Each one will use its own element, like Pyro or Electro. It looks like their weapons will also vary depending on their element. So the Pyro character wields their weapon like a sword. People will encounter these characters in Enkanomiya.
