Gorou is a bow wielder, so he can bring the boss down to the ground when it's floating in mid-air. Then, other Geo characters in the team can use melee attacks to deal DMG to the boss. Activate the elemental burst of Itto, then hit the boss with his elemental skill.

#3. Guide & Tips To Counter Aeonblight Drake

You should use at least one bow wielder in your team to bring Aeonblight Drake to the ground. Besides, you adopt the following tips and strategies to win this combat.

  • Dodge the boss's attack during its Aerial State. Then, aim to shoot and make it land on the ground.
  • Aim at the glowing Aeonblight cores on its shoulders and chest 4 times to break its shield and reduce its HP. After breaking its shield, you quickly release the most powerful skills and elemental bursts to hit the boss while it's immobilized.
