Breaking Electro Fatui Shields: Tips And Tricks

how to break the electro fatui shield

In Genshin Impact, Fatui Skirmishers are the soldiers of the Snezhnayan organization and can be found across Teyvat. They can be weak individually, but they work together to fight off their enemies. To break the Electro Fatui shield, you can use any element except Electro. Using Cryo to break the Electro Fatui shield requires the fewest hits. Breaking the Electro Fatui shield will disable the Cryogunner for 10-15 seconds. It is also possible to use Klee's charge attack or Amber's elemental skill to conduct an explosive attack that will weaken the shield.

Use Cryo to break an Electrohammer's shield

When facing the Electrohammer Fatui Skirmisher, it is important to break its shield to deal effective damage. While you can use any element except Electro to break the Electrohammer's shield, Cryo requires the fewest hits.

Cryo characters are extremely effective at breaking Electro shields. Kaeya, a Cryo character, is particularly useful even at a low level. Claymore users can also be very helpful when facing Electrohammers, as they can stagger the enemy. Using a Claymore character's charged attack will cause them to spin around and do tons of damage with each swing, making it ideal for breaking shields.

Additionally, you can use Pyro or Hydro characters to break Electro shields, especially if they have high elemental mastery. However, Cryo is considered the best option for breaking Electro shields.

It is worth noting that while the Electrohammer Fatui Skirmisher's shield is active, you can still damage its health, but it will only take 80% to 90% of the actual damage. Therefore, it is generally more efficient to focus on breaking the shield first before dealing damage to the Electrohammer's health.

Use Pyro to break a Cryogunner's shield

To break a Cryogunner's shield, you need to use elements that the shields are directly weak to. The Fatui Skirmisher - Cryogunner Legionnaire is weak to Pyro, so this is the best element to use against them.

When the Fatui Cryogunner locks onto one of your characters, switch to another character. The Cryogunner will then walk in the last direction it was facing or walk in circles. Use this opportunity to attack with your other characters and break its shield.

If you don't have a Pyro character, you can try to be creative and find an external source of Pyro damage. You can also try Geo, which is less effective than Pyro but can still work.

Another strategy is to use claymore or charge attacks to cause Shatter. This will consume the Cryo element in the shield, breaking it. However, this strategy does not work on the Cryogunner.

It's important to note that the Cryogunner's shield only blocks most damage, not all damage. So, even if you don't have a Pyro character, you can still try to damage the Cryogunner's health directly with brute physical force.

Use Hydro to break a Pyroslinger's shield

When playing Genshin Impact, you will come across enemies that use shields as a defensive barrier. One such enemy is the Fatui Skirmisher, which includes the Pyroslinger.

The Pyroslinger is a type of Fatui Skirmisher that uses a Pyro-based attack. To break its shield, you will need to use Hydro characters or attacks. While you can use any element except Pyro to break the Pyroslinger's shield, Hydro requires the fewest hits. Breaking the shield will disable the Pyrogunner for 10-15 seconds.

Some Hydro characters that you can use include Barbara, Mona, and Xingqiu. You can also use Klee's charge attack or Amber's elemental skill to conduct an explosive attack that will weaken the shield, thus drastically decreasing its durability.

It is important to note that while the Pyroslinger's shield is active, it will still take damage, but at a reduced rate of 90% damage reduction. Therefore, it is beneficial to break the shield first before dealing damage to the Pyroslinger itself.

Additionally, when facing the Fatui Skirmishers, it is a good idea to defeat certain enemies first. For example, if you have an Electro character, you can use them to consistently start the electro-charged reaction to break the Hydrogunner's shield.

Use Electro to break a Hydrogunner's shield

To break an Electro Fatui shield, you need to use attacks with elements that are strong against that element. In this case, you should use Hydro characters to break the Electro Fatui shield.

The Electro Cicin Mage will put up a shield once its health reaches a certain point. If you can land a finishing attack before the shield is activated, you can defeat it without needing to worry about the shield.

When facing the Electro Cicin Mage, it is recommended to have a Hydro character in your party. You can also use a Cryo character, as Cryo attacks on Hydro shields can trigger a "Freeze" reaction, which can then be followed up with a Geo attack to cause the "Shatter" effect.

Additionally, keep in mind that the Hydro gunner should be your top priority in any fight. Try to identify their position at the start of the battle and stick close to them until they are defeated.

Use Kaeya and Amber to break the shield

Kaeya and Amber are both effective at breaking the Electro Fatui shield. Kaeya's skill can take off half of the electro armour with two units of cryo, and his elemental skill can break Electro armour in two Es. Amber's charged attack is also strong and requires two hits to break Electro armour.

To break the Electro Fatui shield, it is best to use Kaeya first. A level 20 Kaeya can break the shield in two spells, so it is best to bring him in, break the shield, and then swap him out. A level 10 Kaeya should also be able to break the Electro Fatui shield. Once the shield is down, you can swap Kaeya out for Amber, who can deal massive damage to the armour with her Bunny. Amber's charged attack is strong, and it requires two hits to break Electro armour.

It is important to note that Kaeya's ultimate has weak aura applications and needs four Superconduct hits to break the armour. Amber's Guoba is weak and requires four hits.
