How to Defeat Argenti in Honkai Star Rail: Boss Guide

Argenti's boss Honkai: StarRail Appears as part of a companion's personal mission Argenti, "Night of Cosmic Hallucinations", and then appears in the list of possible final opponents of such activities as "Virtual Universe: Gold and Gears" и "Hall of Oblivion". The battle with the Knight of Beauty poses many difficulties, since the boss not only deals high damage on his own, but also calls on various allies to his side.

This guide will tell you in detail how to defeat Argenti in HSR. Let's look at the vulnerabilities of the boss and summoned units, all attacks, possible units and suitable strategies for battle. Additionally, we will share ways to interrupt the test.

Basic Information about Boss Argenti

Argenti boss fight includes two phases, during which the enemy randomly summons statues containing the soul of Beauty. The creatures are endowed with unique abilities to strengthen the main opponent or help him in battle with damage. The key to winning the battle is to intercept the useful buffs of the statues, because before death the effects are applied to the attacking character.

Argenti Vulnerabilities and Effect Resistances:

1	2
Vulnerabilities	Physical Ice Fiery
Resistances	All control effects 50%

Summoned creatures are not endowed with resistance to effects, but have their own set of weaknesses to certain types of damage:

Shield — physical, electrical;
A spear - physical, fiery;
Awarded - physical, icy.

Argenti Boss Attacks

Before assembling a squad to defeat the Argenti boss, we will analyze the most dangerous skills of the Knight of Beauty and the enemies he summons.

The first phase

All turns of the worshiper of Idrila consist of two actions, during which the enemy can summon statues to his side, release the soul of Beauty of existing allies, make a single attack or a powerful blow to the area. The Knight's actions occur randomly, so decisions must be made based on the situation directly on the field.

Let's look at each skill in more detail:

Piety — lunges and inflicts moderate physical damage on one enemy with a spear.
Achieving Godliness — carries out a physical attack on the selected opponent, additionally damaging adjacent targets.
Ode to the bravery of beauty - a dangerous attack skill that inflicts high physical damage on the entire group.
Spear and shield - at the beginning of the battle, summons two random statues at once, during the battle - one at a time. “Shield,” “Spear,” and “Reward” differ in vulnerabilities, combat and post-mortem effects, and appearance.
Spirit of Perseverance — imposes the “Deliverance of the Soul” status on one of the summoned creatures, enhancing the skills of the statue. In order to understand which opponents are strengthened, focus on golden halo around the creature's emblem.

Next, we will look at the abilities of the statues, as well as the most useful effects for the team that can be intercepted when destroyed:

Bloody Queen's Reward (Awarded, vulnerabilities: physical, ice) - applies a damage buff to Argenti that lasts 3 turns. When enhanced, it gives more stacks per use. Destroying the statue imposes similar buffs on the attacker (the buffs will not appear if the lethal damage was periodic).
Circlet of Salvation (Shield, vulnerabilities: physical, electrical) - imposes a Barrier that can absorb any amount of damage once, then disappears. The Soul Deliverance status allows you to protect all allied targets; By destroying the statue, you can apply a buff to the team.
Arrival of the Beauty Knight (A spear, vulnerabilities: physical, fire) - attacks all targets with one-time physical damage, with active “Deliverance of the Soul” - the damage is dealt twice. Destroying a creature deals damage to the health and stamina of Argenti and all allies, therefore it is considered the most useful skill for interception.

The second phase

The transition to the second phase is accompanied by the appearance of four random allies of the boss at once. In addition to the summoning skill "Spear and Shield" will now always summon the maximum number of statues. The rest of the abilities have not changed, so be prepared to use healer skills after the following attacks:

Achieving Godliness - physical damage to multiple targets.
Ode to the Bravery of Beauty - a dangerous attack with powerful damage to the group.
Arrival of the Beauty Knight - Spear ability, which deals high repeated damage to the entire squad.

How to defeat Argenti

Completing the companion mission involves two encounters with the Knight of Beauty. Subsequently, the boss battle can take place again as part of the activity "Gold and Gears" or "Hall of Oblivion". Next, we will provide recommendations and commands that will help you pass the test.

Detachments

Form a group using the following units to defeat the Argenti (boss):

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	How to use
Argenti	Himeko	tingyun	Hoho	A playable Argenti will best deal with the boss through area attacks and the buffs it receives from summoning enemies. Himeko's bonus attacks are activated by destroying enemy shields, which the main DPS will penetrate in large numbers. Tingyun and Hoho traditionally support damage dealers by increasing attack power and restoring energy.
jingliu	Blade	sang	Locha	Strategy: Jingliu and Blade synergy. Jingliu copes well with enemies of any size, even if it does not match their weaknesses. If destroyed, the vulnerability will be able to freeze Argenti. Blade, in conjunction with the ice swordsman, easily implements its mechanics and will help with damage, practically without spending action points. Pela lowers defense to increase the damage of the entire squad. With normal attacks it focuses on the “Awarded”, and with a skill it removes enhancements from the boss. Locha is also responsible for removing buffs and healing.
Seele	Silver Wolf	Fu Xuan	Clara	Strategy: “monoquant” + counterattack. Zele can easily deal with some entities due to high one-time damage, intercepting the reinforcements the squad needs. The Silver Wolf will create the vulnerability the squad needs on the main enemy, and will also reduce speed, attack power and defense. Fu Xuan will reduce the damage taken by the unit. Clara will often carry out counterattacks, since many of the boss's skills deal area damage and will hit her anyway.
Luke	Hertha	Lynx	Fire. hero	Strategy: a game from two support heroes. The main damage dealer is Luka with high single damage, debuffs and removal of buffs. An area damage dealer, for example, Gert, is placed in the second slot. The Lynx will protect the team with high healing, and the Pathfinder will divert single attacks to itself.
Phys. hero	Serval	Asta	Natasha	Squad of free and epic characters: A pioneer with a low cost of his ultimate ability and good damage will play the role of the main DPS of the group. Serval will help with additional damage to multiple targets, as well as the Shock status, which will not be blocked by Barriers. Asta increases the attack power and speed of the squad, helps with breaking through vulnerabilities with free skill points. Natasha performs the usual functions of a healer and removes shields with a basic attack.

Tactic

First encounter with Idrila's follower as part of a companion mission does not pose a threat, because after the health scale is reduced to 50%, the “conversation” in the plot will be interrupted Welt. To win, it is enough to hold out by any means until the right moment to continue completing the task.

In a full-fledged battle, follow these tips:

Stacks of “Rewarded” will have a negative impact on the survivability of the squad, since they will multiply the boss’s damage for a long period (3 turns). Focus on opponents with Rose emblem Firstly.
Another unit, “Spear,” carries out powerful attacks in the area and will play favorably against its own allies. Attack the statue with the image black bladeto inflict high damage on vulnerable opponents.
In the case of the Shield, you can wait until the boss strengthens it to get Barriers for the entire squad. The enemy's action itself does not pose a threat to the team, since the Barrier absorbs damage from just one attack.
Always keep an eye on the summoned statues and prioritize them in the order of: Awarded => Spear => Shield. Stick to your enemies' weaknesses to effectively destroy not only the boss, but also certain statues. For example, take fire and ice area damage to keep Shields on the field until Soul Deliverance.
When assembling a team, place great emphasis on area damage. Summoned opponents cannot be ignored, as the difficulty of the battle increases over time thanks to the buffs of the “Rewarded”.
Don't forget about support characters walking the Path of Abundance and Conservation. The boss does not impose negative effects, so any hero with protective functions.

Before entering a special mission zone, you must make sure that the squad meets the recommended level of pumping. Since the functions of moving around the map and changing the composition of the squad are blocked in the dungeon, if there is a need to adjust the group or additional leveling up, you will have to start the passage again.

In some cases, you may encounter a bug where the teleportation function remains blocked even when leaving the dungeon. Try to solve the problem in a way suggested by the game's technical support:

Go to the seats next to Pom-Pom, where the "Rest" action should appear.
Then check if the teleportation function is restored.
