Dodge and team up with a healer

The boss uses a lot of mass attacks, and also often moves around the field, especially in the second phase. In addition, Signora's attacks cover the floor of Cryo or Pyro with areas where the character is permanently damaged. It is recommended to take a healer to compensate for the amount of HP spent.

Destroy the cryo cocoon with Pyro characters

At the end of the first phase, Signora hides in a Cryo cocoon, which must be broken by picking up Red lotus moths. To speed up this process, you can use the Pyro attacks of the characters (for example, the skill Bennett). In addition, there is an achievement for breaking a cocoon without butterflies.

Signora's attacks and abilities

Signora owns two elements - Cryo and Pyro, so her element changes every phase of the battle with her. In both phases, the boss's attacks turn the area into ice floor or Ash landin which the character takes damage.

First phase (Cryo)

In the first phase, attacks Cryo with an element. Almost all attacks are targeted, so they can be avoided by moving to the side.

City: Snowflakes appear on the floor and spears appear above the boss. Unleash ice spears at a snowflake-marked area.

Ice shards and wheel: swings his left hand and releases a group of fragments in a straight line. Simultaneously with this attack, launches an ice wheel that moves in a curve towards the player.

ice flowers: Creates three snowflakes in front of him, from which he releases three flowers.

Ice void: Places a mark over the character, then unleashes a spear on them, which explodes after a few seconds and deals damage in an area.

Snowfall: teleports to the character and deals an AoE attack.

The benevolence of the Queen: Spawns 5 spears around itself, one at a time at the player. Self-guided spears. When Signora is in a cocoon, the number of copies increases to 9.

When the boss's HP drops to 30%, she hides inside cryo cocoon. Collect Red lotus moths and attack the cocoon to destroy it. Attacks of all characters work, even catalysts.

To break the cocoon faster, you can use Pyro attacks, for example, Gobu Xiangling.

Second phase (Pyro)

After the cocoon is destroyed, the boss phase changes to Pyro.

flaming whip is divided into three types of whip attacks:

Attacks once from any distance.
It swings over its head and strikes with force in front of it, creating three lanes in front, which it then sets on fire.
Attacks twice with a whip at close and medium range.

Moving: Transforms into a swarm of butterflies and flies around the arena.

Hellfire Butterfly: Launches a large homing fire moth at your character.

Witch's Wrath: Rolls up its wings to spread them and unleash multiple fiery comets on the player.

Dark Flame Orb: Flaps its wings and releases a flock of fiery butterflies moving towards the player.

Hellfire Onslaught: Spreads its wings and releases butterflies that dive towards the character and explode.

Searing Reckoning: teleports to the center and turns into a tornado and moves around the arena, releasing 4 small tornadoes. At the end, it stops and flaps its wings, releasing 4 more tornadoes.

How to remove the effects of cold and heat

During combat, the effect accumulates in both phases - Severe frost и blazing heat. When the scale is full, the character will begin to lose health.

Stop the accumulation of special pillars in the corners of the arena:

Flame heart - Reduces Frost.

Eye of cold - Decreases Burning Heat.

If you destroy the column with attacks, then the scale will be reset immediately, and the effect of the Ice Floor and Ash Land in this area will also disappear.

However, we advise you not to destroy all the pillars, but always leave at least one, in order to “warm up” or “cool down” if something happens.

How much HP does Signora have?
