General of the North - Ai Nengqi is a two-phase optional boss in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, located in the Cloudspire Outskirts. This heavily armored general utilizes a mix of powerful sword combos and elemental arrow attacks, inflicting Paralysis, Frostbite, and Burn. You can summon the NPC Nian Suichang to aid you in this battle.
Ai Nengqi is found at the end of a downward path to the left of the Rebel Camp shrine in the Cloudspire Outskirts. You will need the Rebel Camp Key, which is dropped by a powerful elite enemy near the shrine, to open the gate to his arena.
The key to this fight is managing Ai Nengqi’s aggression and elemental attacks. Start the fight by immediately summoning your ally, Nian Suichang, to draw his attention. This will give you ample time to apply buffs or deal damage. Focus on using Lightning damage to get through his armor. When he jumps into the air to fire arrows, use the opportunity to perfect dodge and build up your Skyborn Might meter for powerful counter-attacks.
In his first phase, Ai Nengqi uses a mix of heavy sword strikes, ice attacks, and lightning-infused archery.
Ground Slam
He leaps into the air and slams the ground. Dodge forward as he descends to get behind him and land a heavy attack to build his poise damage.
Ground Stomp
Ai Nengqi raises his foot and stomps, dealing AoE damage. Dodge to the side to avoid the attack.
Ice Punch
He delivers a powerful, frost-infused punch with his right arm. Dodge to your left to avoid it.
Dual Slash
A quick two-hit combo, slashing from left to right and then right to left. Dodge backward to avoid the wide arc.
Sword Slams
A four-hit combo where he repeatedly slams his sword into the ground. Dodge to your left while staying close, then punish him at the end of the combo.
Overhead Slash
He raises his sword high above his head for a single, powerful downward strike. Dodge to the side and attack his back.
Ice Spikes
He grips the ground and throws a volley of ice spikes that erupt from the ground around you. Dodge to the side to regain a clear view of the boss.
Lightning Shot / Volley
He jumps into the air and fires one or more lightning-infused arrows at your location, which explode on impact. Dodge sideways to avoid them.
At 50% HP, Ai Nengqi adds powerful fire attacks to his arsenal, imbuing his sword with flames.
Frost Wave
His opening move for Phase 2. He stomps the ground, releasing a large wave of frosty mist. Dodge forward through the wave to get behind him and attack.
Imbued Flames
He performs spinning slashes while applying flames to his sword. The final part of this attack releases bouncing fireballs. Dodge backward to maintain a safe distance.
Spinning Flame Arc
He leaps and spins with his flaming sword before striking as he lands. Dodge to the sides to avoid the attack.
Billow Volley
He shoots arrows into the air that fall in a circular pattern around you. Dodge forward or backward out of the circle; dodging sideways may get you hit by an adjacent arrow.
