In the PC and mobile game Genshin Impact, the player character is presented with the sprawling land of Teyvat. With more mountains, cities, and forests to explore than any player could ask for, the world of Teyvat is also riddled with a wide variety of different opponents for fans to fight throughout their playthrough.

Ranging from charmingly cute dendro slimes to the gargantuanly difficult Primo Geovishap, the player will never find themselves searching for too long for a new foe to fight. Nonetheless, with great levels of diversity, there are a lot of opponents that are just outright annoying to have to fight throughout Mondstadt and Liyue. That said, there are quite a few different strategies to learn that make fighting these opponents easier.

10 Tartaglia

Yes, it may seem a little funny to start with a boss fight, but Tartaglia's boss fight is legitimately tricky at first. The Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, Childe acts as the final boss fight of the Liyue parts of the storyline. This fight is marked by tricky fast-paced movements in the second part, heavy-hitting attacks in the third, and having to dodge whales in the first. A very difficult situation for players that are only just getting to the thirties and forties in adventure rank.

If players are having trouble fighting Tartaglia, then there are a few strategies that have made the fight more manageable. Sticking close to the boss can make damage with swords, claymores, and polearms easier than risking being hit while charging a bow. Dodging will be the player's biggest asset, so practicing the sprint function and memorizing Tartaglia's attack patterns is key to making this fight easier.

9 Whopperflowers

A common opponent found all around Teyvat, Whopperflowers have a habit of hiding where the player least expects. These pesky flowers are known for their annoying burrowing movements, as well as entering a charging phase protected by their respective element (all for an attack that makes attacking uninterrupted very difficult.) Of course, it's easy for players to avoid these pesky critters if they pay attention; notice that hidden Whopperflowers have a different icon than the standard one for picking up a sweet flower.

Of course, it isn't always possible to avoid Whopperflowers. Regardless, it's easy to defeat them if their charging phases are interrupted by a strategically picked elemental attack, or by making them immobile with Anemo attacks like the Anemo Traveler or Jean's skill.

8 Fatui Skirmishers

Slightly easier to fight than their Fatui Agent counterparts, Fatui Skirmishers are the basic Fatui opponent that can be found roaming Liyue and Dragonspine in great numbers. A common foe in the Spiral Abyss, these elemental specialists may not be difficult alone but can pack a punch when fighting in numbers. With a powered-up phase, shielded by their respective element, elemental mastery is a must-have for any Traveler looking to pick a fight with a Skirmisher.

When in doubt, players should target the Hydro Fatui Skirmisher first if present. The only Fatui opponent to have healing properties, these Skirmishers can single-handedly extend any fight longer than players would like. Luckily, the shields of a Hydro Skirmisher are easy to destroy with an Electro character like Keqing, or a Cryo character like Ganyu or Chongyun.

7 Fatui Agents

Fatui Agents are more difficult than the average Skirmisher, with Pyro attacks that are fast-paced. Lacking an elemental shield, all attacks against these will hit for standard damage. However there is a catch, the Agent's invisibility can be difficult to handle and their ultimate attack can be heavy-hitting, with many consecutive hits in quick succession like Keqing's elemental burst.

Dealing with Fatui Agents can be difficult, but feasible with a few steps. If found near a body of water, then the process is simple for players; using either Jean or the Anemo Traveler's elemental skill, pushing the Fatui Agents into the water could end their fight almost instantly. Of course, if combat is unavoidable, using Pyro, Cryo, Electro, or any other status element, will color the Agent's silhouette during their invisible phase.

6 Oceanid

Found near Stone Gate, to the West of Qingce Village, many players struggle with the Oceanid boss fight even late in the game. With illusions that hit hard and regenerate health quickly, as well as attacks that can drown some player character's instantaneous, the Oceanid is perhaps the most difficult boss to fight at the current moment.

That said, if the player wants to ascend any Hydro character in the game, like everybody's favorite idol Barbara, then the Oceanid is going to be a necessary evil. There is no easy way to beat the Oceanid, just pure grit and skill. However, the fight becomes a lot more possible with a high-leveled Electro or Cryo character, and easier with a fine-tuned healer.

5 Abyss Mages

Granted, Abyss Mages are not especially difficult but they are a very annoying opponent to face when compared to others. With an elemental shield that takes significantly longer to break than that of the Fatui Skirmishers and a quick regeneration when it's destroyed, these Mages are especially difficult early game.

Lucky for players, a fight with a group of Abyss Mages is infinitely easier with a calm and strategic mind. Targetting one mage at a time is essential for these kinds of fights because it allows the player to defeat the mage before it has a chance to regenerate its shield.

4 Geovishaps

There are three types of Geovishaps in the game: Hatchlings, Adults, and the new boss, the Primo Geovishap. All are very difficult to defeat, perhaps the most difficult standard foe in the game, but Geovishap Hatchlings are by far the most common. Located in Liyue, these youthful foes boast rollie-pollie-like attacks with insane damage and burrowing movements like the Whopperflower.

Once again, there is no easy way to win a fight with a Geovishap of any kind. That said, shields are essential, knocking the opponent over during certain attacks. It's during these periods that attacking is most effective, and the Traveler should target these times if they want any chance of survival without low HP.

3 Regisvines

The Cryo and the fiery Pyro Regisvine are bosses on the map that players will flock to if they have any Pyro or Cryo characters. With a rough set of patterns and quickly changing attacks, these foes are especially difficult for players just beginning the game.

Luckily, fighting Regisvines becomes incredibly easy by identifying their weak points. Located at the root and around the plant's corolla, hitting a Pyro and Cryo Regisvine's weak point when activated (which the game will alert the player about) with a stronger element makes the vicious flower fall over for a brief time. During this time, attack damage increases heavily.

2 Ruin Hunters

Another of Liyue's notoriously difficult over-world opponents, the Ruin Hunter is the quicker, more deadly cousin of the commonly found Ruin Guard. Though they may look similar, the Ruin Hunter is more tedious to deal with considering their difficult-to-target weak spots and tricky-to-dodge quick attacks.

For Ruin Hunters, although many players may think differently, their flying missile attack is the best time to strike; it's during this time that their eye is most targettable. Otherwise, learning the time for a Ruin Hunter's attacks will make attacking with a ranged character between attacks easier.

1 Andrius

The Wolf of the North, Andrius is perhaps the most difficult boss fight in Genshin Impact so far. With both Cryo and Anemo immunity, lowering the wolf king's HP proves a challenge for even veteran players.

With constant attacks from all angles in the second half of the fight, many players actively avoid this weekly boss. Nonetheless, with a strong Pyro or Electro character (preferably one with strong shielding abilities like Beidou), Andrius becomes less tricky to fight in solo mode. And of course, where all else fails, a good supply of boosters, food, and friends will do the trick.
