by In order to promote characters like Jing Yuan we will need to farm the ascension material called Staff of the Shapeshifter that will drop us the Paralyzed Shadow – Form of Doom in Honkai Star Rail .
When challenging this Paralyzed Shadow we will find three different types of enemies: a Disciple of Sanctus Medicus – Shapeshifter who will be the main enemy, an Enchanted Device – Wyvern and also a Soldier Possessed by Mara. But that’s not all, since the Shapeshifter has an ability that will allow him to summon two additional Mara-Possessed Soldiers (in addition, he will do so on more than one occasion during combat).
In this fight I recommend you always start by eliminating the Wyvern, since it is an enemy that we can get rid of quickly because it has few HPs and by eliminating it we will get rid of the possibility of it affecting us with Weakening, since this will reduce the damage of the affected character by 30% for 2 turns and can be quite annoying if applied to a Hunt or Erudite.
PARALYZED SHADOW LOCATION AND UNLOCK REQUIREMENTS
To have access to the Paralyzed Shadow – Doom Form or any other type of Paralyzed Shadow, we will have to have reached at least level 30 of Pathfinder and have promoted the world to balance level 2 .
This Paralyzed Shadow is located on the planet Xianzhou Luofu, we will find it exactly to the southeast of the Miraestrellas Port area .
ATTACK GUIDE
These are all the attacks that the Disciple of Sanctus Medicus – Shapeshifter can perform:
- Thundering Calamity : Throws a spear at one of our characters piercing them multiple times to deal a large amount of Lightning Damage.
- Seismic Slam : Execute a thrust that deals a moderate amount of Lightning Damage to a single character.
- Punishing Lightning : Spawns a downward attack that deals Lightning Damage to a target character and any two characters adjacent to it.
- Summoning Mara : Consumes part of her HP to summon two Soldiers Possessed by Mara.
- Vigor Drain : If the Shapeshifter has an ally of his under the effects of Return to Life, he will regenerate PVs when hitting our characters.
This is the only attack that the Enchanted Device – Wyvern can perform:
- Lion’s Roar : Deals a little Fire Damage for a single character, but has a high chance to hit with Debuff, which will reduce the damage it deals by 30% for 2 turns.
And finally, the attacks that Mara Possessed Soldiers can perform:
- Soulless Wind : Deals a blow that will deal a small amount of Wind Damage to one of our characters, but has a high chance of weathering said character (a state that will deal a bit of Wind Damage at the start of several of its next shifts).
- Rejuvenation : When a Mara-Possessed Soldier’s HP is depleted, he will replenish part of them automatically to return to the battlefield (each Mara-Possessed Soldier can only activate Rejuvenation 1 time per combat).
ENEMY WEAKNESSES AND RECOMMENDED CHARACTERS
The Disciple of Sanctus Medicus – Shapeshifter has a weakness to the following elements :
- Ice.
- Wind.
- Imaginary.
While Mara Possessed Soldiers are vulnerable to these elements:
- Ice.
- Fire.
- Quantum.
Finally, these are the vulnerabilities of the Enchanted Device – Wyvern:
- Wind.
- Imaginary.
These are the characters that we recommend the most according to their routes :
- 1 Hunt : To deal a lot of damage to the boss.
- Yanqing : It is one of the best assets to defeat this Paralyzed Shadow, but remember that for this character to reach his full potential he must not be attacked (since he loses his Talent bonuses when attacked), so we will need another character that provokes enemies.
- Dan Heng : One of the Shapeshifter’s weaknesses is the Wind Element, so Dan Heng can be useful to fill the Hunt position in this fight (in addition to being a character that is available to everyone).
- 1 Erudition : In this combat we will face several enemies that will spam constantly, so it will be very useful for us to take a character from this path.
- Herta : He is not a character with very high damage, but his Talent allows him to execute an Additional Attack every time he hits an enemy with half the HP or less (1 time per enemy), which will allow us to create many Ruptures of Weakness and generate many hits executing these types of attacks.
- Jing Yuan : Unfortunately no enemy in this fight has a weakness to Lightning, but Jing Yuan is a character who does a lot of damage both with his skills and with the Additional Attacks of his Divine Knight, so we can use him despite the fact that the enemies are not weak against your element.
- 1 Nihility/Harmony : To sabotage the statistics of the enemies and apply detrimental states to them or, on the contrary, a character to provide bonuses to the group.
- Pela : Both the Shapeshifter and the Soldiers Possessed by Mara have a weakness to Ice, due to this, Pela’s Definitive Ability that recharges quickly will come in handy to attack all enemies at once, lower their DEF and help lower the bar firmness of almost all enemies except the Wyvern (which is the only one that has no weakness to Ice in this fight).
- Sampo : He is a character who specializes in inflicting Wind Damage over time, which will be great for us to damage the Shapeshifter and to break his strength bar, since he has a weakness for this element.
- Welt : What interests us the most about this character is the ability he has to slow down the enemies’ turn, also the damage of his abilities is quite decent and his element covers one of the main enemy’s weaknesses.
- Asta : It will increase the ATK of the entire group based on the energy charges it accumulates when hitting enemies and its Ultimate Ability will increase the SPED of the entire group. His Elemental Ability will also be useful to lower the stamina bar of Mara-Possessed Soldiers.
- Bronya : Increases the Attack and Critical Damage of the entire group and is also capable of eliminating the negative effects that afflict our teammates. In addition, as it belongs to the Wind Element, it will also be useful to lower the enemy’s strength bar.
- 1 Abundance/Conservation : To survive the battle.
- Gepard : His Basic Ability is great for freezing enemies and generating Weakness Breaks . Also, his ult provides a shield for the whole party and if Gepard falls in battle, he can resurrect himself once per fight.
- Pathfinder Fire : By using any of his abilities he will create a shield for the entire party , in addition, both his empowered blow and his final will be useful to lower the strength bars of the Soldiers Possessed by Mara.
- March 7 : Provides a shield that is not bad at all and that increases the chances that the character protected by it will attack, which will come in handy to divert attacks towards another character if, for example, we take Yanqing as a Hunt.
- Bailu : Provides very high heals with his abilities and can resurrect a fallen ally once during battle, but his element doesn’t match any enemy’s weaknesses (so if he does any Basic Attack, it won’t even help to lower the energy bar). firmness).
- Natasha : Another of the characters that can occupy the position of healer , but the same thing happens to him as Bailu with the element theme.
Equipment Suggestions :
- Yanqing, Herta, Pela and Gepard.
- Dan Heng, Herta, Pela and Siete de Marzo.
- Yanqing, Herta, Welt and Trazacaminos Fuego.
- Dan Heng, Jing Yuan, Sampo and Natasha.
