Genshin Impact Luna IV Stygian Onslaught Leaks Reveal New Boss Mechanics

The upcoming Luna IV update in Genshin Impact is making a lot of waves about the Stygian Onslaught mode. This rotating challenge, which resets every patch, makes players defeat three strong bosses with three different teams. Winning this mode gives rewards like Primogems, Mora, Hero’s Wit, and Dust of Enlightenment. Recently, HomDGCat, a known leaker, shared the next enemies in this mode. The Genshin Impact Luna IV Stygian Onslaught leaks show some new boss mechanics too, which could change the way players fight.

Genshin Impact Luna IV Stygian Onslaught leaks

According to these early Genshin Impact Luna IV Stygian Onslaught leaks, the next cycle will include three big bosses. Some are coming back, some are new. The lineup is said to be:

• Battlefield 1: Lord of the Hidden Depths: Whisperer of Nightmares
• Battlefield 2: Battle-Hardened Fireblade Shock Trooper: Forlorn Hope
• Battlefield 3: Emperor of Fire and Iron

The first boss is coming with a new area that was released in the update.

Whisperer of Nightmares: A New Challenge

The Whisperer of Nightmares is one boss that everyone is looking at from the Genshin Impact Luna IV Stygian Onslaught leaks. It is rumored to come with a new map. The boss's health is increasing a lot depending on difficulty, from about 1.4 million HP in Hard to over 23 million in Dire difficulty. At greater difficulties, the boss is said to have a Deepdark Shield equal to 45% of its HP. Breaking the shield will reduce 20% HP and put it in weak mode, making its resistance drop a lot. It will also spawn Angler enemies during battle, which reduce shield HP when killed. Also, the boss is immune to Physical attacks, but it takes triple damage from Lunar Reactions.

Forlorn Hope Returns With New Electro Mechanics

Forlorn Hope, also called Raskolnikov, was seen in Luna I, but seems stronger in Luna IV. From the Genshin Impact Luna IV Stygian Onslaught leaks, he will again make three Electro shields in battle.

In easier difficulties, players have to manage shields carefully. When preparing Thundering Suite, the boss makes three shields. After breaking them all, the boss becomes paralyzed. Destroying each shield also gives extra Elemental Orbs for players. During Thundering Barrage, the boss hits AoE Electro damage, so shield timing is important.

In harder stages, he will have three stronger shields, taking double Lunar-Charged and six times Electro-Charged damage. After breaking shields fast, the boss's resistance lowers a lot. Still, it can self-repair shields slowly, only slowed if hit with Electro or Lunar-Charged, which makes fights tricky.

Emperor of Fire and Iron Makes a Return

The Emperor of Fire and Iron, from Fontaine update 4.0, will be the third boss. Its mechanics are similar to before, but Luna IV adjustments may change elemental interaction. From the Genshin Impact Luna IV Stygian Onslaught leaks, the Pyro horns increase their resistance by 150%. Destroying them lowers the boss's HP by 10%.

Also, the boss summons Sternshield Crabs with Pyro. After their energy ends, they hit the boss and lower its shield. Damage boss takes from crabs is based on Hydro attacks mainly, but capped at 15% of its max HP.

Even though these Genshin Impact Luna IV Stygian Onslaught leaks gave lots of details. The shields, reaction bonuses, and weaknesses seem to need careful team planning. Community is watching leaks and preparing their teams, and with upcoming events like the Genshin Impact x Duolingo collab, players have extra opportunities to strengthen characters before facing the boss.

If leaks are correct, players will have to adapt teams for each boss differently. Till HoYoverse confirms, the Genshin Impact Luna IV Stygian Onslaught leaks are all we can follow as a preview of next patch challenges.
