Genshin Impact is known for its unique and engaging weekly boss fights that tie in directly with the lore. While these enemies have important significance in the story of the game, they have also become household names when it comes to the pinnacle of Genshin Impact's combat system. These weekly boss fights are sporadically released, which makes their arrival a big feature in any update.

Genshin Impact players farming for Kinich or Kachina can fight the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King for materials.

These unusually powerful enemies feature unique and captivating skills, majestic arenas, and beautiful soundtracks that truly sell their status as foes to not be messed with. As of today, ten weekly boss fights are available for players to challenge, with each one offering a thrilling experience.

10 Stormterror Dvalin

Erstwhile King Of The Skies

Stormterror Dvalin

Stormterror Dvalin has the unfortunate honor of coming in last place on this list. The very first weekly boss introduced in the game alongside Andrius, the Dvalin boss fight has not aged well over the years. It is simply too easy of a fight nowadays thanks to a plethora of characters available that can easily take care of Dvalin.

Even casual players with a relatively decent team should have no trouble defeating Dvalin. While it is a visually cool boss fight, the laughable difficulty and lack of skill expression makes it the least interesting weekly boss in the game.

9 Andrius

Dominator Of Wolves

Andrius

As mentioned earlier in the list, Andrius is the oldest weekly boss in the game, alongside Dvalin, having been released in Version 1.0. Much like Dvalin, Andrius' difficulty has plummeted over the years. The Dominator of Wolves is nothing more than a DPS check nowadays, one that is easily vanquished by a semi-decent team.

The arena, soundtrack, and stature of Andrius make it a cool standoff. However, he is very easy to defeat, and the boss fight should hardly last more than two minutes for most players.

8 Childe

Eleventh Of The Fatui Harbingers

Childe

Childe was easily the hardest boss fight when his Trounce Domain was released in Version 1.1. It was so hard for players back then that HoYoverse adjusted the difficulty of the boss fight. Ever since then, the Childe boss fight has been one of the easiest fights in the entire game. Almost any team can defeat the Eleventh Fatui Harbinger with little to no trouble.

One of the upsides of this fight is that it is a traditional 1v1 with very few moments where Childe goes invulnerable. It is a classic and simple duel between frenemies, but that is the most it has to offer, as it pales in comparison to other weekly bosses of a similar nature.

7 Guardian Of Apep's Oasis

The Wrath Of The Dendro Sovereign

Guardian Of Apep's Oasis

Guardian of Apep's Oasis is one of the more recent weekly bosses in the game, having been released in Version 3.6 as part of the second chapter of Nahida's story quest. The arena where this fight takes place is gorgeous, but the battle itself is more tedious than enjoyable.

A good half of the fight is spent dealing with mobs threatening the revitalization of the Heart of Oasis. Once this is done, the second phase of the boss fight begins, which is nothing special either. It is one of the weaker designs in terms of boss fights and doesn't bring anything new to the table.

6 Azhdaha

Sealed Lord Of Vishaps

Azhdaha

Azhdaha is one of the most majestic boss fights in Genshin Impact. The grand soundtrack, and the intimidating presence of Zhongli's former friend makes it a very fun battle. However, a major problem with this boss fight is the amount of times Azhdaha can go invulnerable, forcing players to wait it out.

Additionally, Azhdaha has a very limited moveset despite being able to harness various elements. All of these factors make Azhdaha the only sixth-best weekly boss in the game, despite being one of the better bosses from a visual perspective.

5 Everlasting Lord Of Arcane Wisdom

Shouki No Kami, The Prodigal

Everlasting Lord Of Arcane Wisdom

The Everlasting Lord of Arcane Wisdom, more commonly known as Scaramouche, is easily one of the largest weekly bosses in the game. While the first phase of this boss fight isn't anything to write home about, the real deal starts to kick in during the second phase.

Scaramouche is able to summon powerful attacks, including a one-shot ability that players will have to respect. However, this boss fight has a unique feature where the Neo Akasha Terminal will constantly damage Scaramouche.

Genshin Impact is packed with tough bosses and enemies. Here are the strongest of the bunch, and how to emerge victorious when fighting them.

Additionally, a lot of this boss fight is spent running to dodge attacks, with the Neo Akasha Terminal doing most of the work in terms of dealing damage. The Scaramouche boss fight is a grand spectacle that is brought down by its largely non-interactive nature.

4 La Signora

Rostam's Beloved

La Signora

La Signora is an very well-designed boss fight with two distinct phases. The first phase features the Sheer Cold mechanic, while the second phase sees La Signora become the Crimson Witch of Embers, complete with a fiery new moveset.

Both phases feature excellent music and movesets that feel rewarding to duel against. Signora also has minimal invulnerability throughout both phases. This boss fight is one of the best designed battles in the game; a perfect example of simple yet effective.

3 All-Devouring Narwhal

Surtalogi's Pet

All-Devouring Narwhal

If La Signora's boss fight was simple, the showdown with the All-Devouring Narwhal is anything but that. Fighting this behemoth of a creature constantly flying around is a bit annoying, but the sheer beauty of the beast and the arena makes up for it. While it doesn't have the best moveset by any means, there is a feeling of grandeur when battling the Narhwal.

Travelers first meet Skirk after beating the All-Devouring Narwhal, and she drops some of the biggest Genshin Impact lore.

The second phase is the main reason why this boss fight ranks so high on the list. The otherworldly dubstep music and the extremely captivating design of the Shadow Warrior inside the Narwhal make it an intense 1v1. When combining both of these phases, the third spot on this list feels like a fair placement for the All-Devouring Narwhal.

2 The Knave

Father Of The House Of The Hearth

The Knave

The Knave secures the runner-up spot on this list, as it is an extremely simple yet efficient duel. There are no convoluted mechanics to worry about; it is merely a test of strength, laid down by the Fourth Fatui Harbinger Arlecchino.

The first phase doesn't have any outstanding features, but it still has Arlecchino whipping out some flashy moves. The second phase, where Arlecchino becomes the Cinder of Two Worlds' Flames, really dials up the boss fight's intensity. Arlecchino can deal ridiculous damage and wipe out characters at a moment's notice if players aren't careful.

Arlecchino is not only the third playable Fatui in Genshin Impact but also the third Fatui weekly boss.

However, it is still a fair fight, as proper dodging and finding windows to deal damage can eventually put her down. For these reasons, the latest weekly boss in Genshin Impact is also one of the best.

1 Magatsu Mitake Narukami No Mikoto

Raiden No Inazuma Tono

Magatsu Mitake Narukami No Mikoto

Magatsu Mitake Narukami No Mikoto, or the Raiden Shogun boss fight, is still the best weekly boss in Genshin Impact, and has been since its release in Version 2.5. The unique setting of the fight, the two phases, and a plethora of moves make it a very engaging and fun battle. The rock-based soundtrack, featuring Inazuma's leitmotif, further adds to the whole atmosphere of the fight.

Both phases of this boss fight have a wide variety of moves that make them stand out among the rest. This was the first weekly boss that introduced a one-shot mechanic, and it is one of the most breathtaking visuals in the game.

Almost everything about the Raiden Shogun boss fight is executed to perfection. It also manages to strike a perfect balance in terms of difficulty, making it a very accessible weekly boss for all players to enjoy.
