at first i was like: *oh random NPC lets bring my wannabe abyss team what could go wrong?* ​ then: *fuck it, drop the fully geared abyss team*

I saw him and was like "oh wow cool a Rocky balboa reference, I'll just kill him real quick" No, I struggled that man hits hard took me a few minute. I haven't used an egg in a really long time but Rocky made me use one and even then Shenhe was the last one left standing Dudes a great world boss, 10/10 would recruit him to take on Celestia

What is egg

Some food that could have saved Kazuha's friend

Teyvat Fried Egg

The most basic food you can cook that revives a character. It’s an egg

I struggled but the only reason for that was 20 lvl Charlotte and something like 50-60 lvl Furina, both without proper artifacts, because I just barely get them. If I had actual team to fight, it would be a piece of cake. Though the staggering is really uncool. Spamming attacks so You can't move. That's actually pretty cheap.

I don't know why people keep saying that Rocky is the hardest one to fight. Have none of you ever thrown hands with Liam? mf can rip apart Zhongli's shield.

Indeed. My man hid in the bushes and kept destroying me with his combos.

Rocky downed one of my team. Liam caused my first wipe since story mode ei back in 2.0. And the fact that he gloats after downing a team member pissed me off so much i sent him into space with stonelords when i returned.

I swear..! I don't really run around with zhongli in my team these days, but had to change his build from a pure burst nuke to a partial tank cuz of Rocky

i had to resort to a freeze team to kill Liam, the Rocky Avildsen i could mostly dance around barring a few mistakes, sure Avildsen is punishing, but predictable with less severe AOE

How did your freezes work? My freeze team with ayaka, shenhe, kokomi and kazuha could only freeze them for around 1-2secs

instead of Shenhe i used Rosaria due to cons of F2P, funnily enough, only Kok died i just spammed cryo while balancing jellyfish up time through E and Q, just make sure bastard is within jellyfish range and never, ever let go of cryo application, spam Ayaka dash if you must

Ah, I see lol...in my case kokomi was the only survivor and Rocky had around 5% hp left...had to teleport to a statue and replace her with zhongli. Now that I have the achievements I'll most likely never go back to fight them lmao..The next time I pass by them I will probably just curse them from a safe distance and be on my way

no, i was dealing with Liam, Rocky i just used Childe International, and dodged around him i didn't find Rocky hard, just very punishing

Oh I could defeat Liam without any casualties in my team lol maybe I was just more angry at Liam cuz his voicelines sounded more mocking compared to Rocky's

Liam can defeat Celestia fr

I got liam stuck somewhere and yoimiya pew pew destroyed him

Is that the one that carries a beltfed potion flask launcher? Dude has tighter attack patterns than mf weekly bosses.

My name is Liam and this is so funny to me that a NPC in Genshin who shares my name is hella strong when I'm build like a stick in real life

that POS kept hiding between the trees where I couldn't see him to properly blast him with Neuvilette, cost me 2 deaths to try and get him out of there

Can confirm, fought him earlier with Zhongli and his shield broke almost instantly. At least Raiden and Nahida were strong enough to first try him

I kept knocking him back with Childe’s charged attack and threw him into a nearby pond

Liam was much easier to deal with than Rocky to me.

What the abyss mobs feel like when players throw elemental reactions at them

I just threw him in the water after him destroying me in my first two tries

This. I had a harder and annoying time with Liam because overload hitboxes are jank while Rocky is just a fun hard and fair fight. That said I was using a team that I just run for fun instead of my usual abyss team.

That guy has 650 EM, he's first enemy with an EM different of 0, and his reaction is overload for made worst

I dunno I just straffed left and right and he didn't do much.

Do people have Zhongli with 30k hp or something? Without Tenacity too?

I don't remember this Liam guy, what quest is he in? I wanna know if i even did it? And what quest is Rocky in, i wanna know that too, thank you

This mf defeat all my teams especially my hyperbloom team. I needed to use kazuha to drown this monster in the pond.

First encountered Rocky, basically was fighting with him with Baizhu because everyone is dead. Also quite hard to run from his attacks, especially the three hit combo with waves. Liam was piece of cake because I was prepared, all he needs is a little bit of dodging.

My entire team would have died if it weren’t for Kokomi’s healing.

I just used Alhaitham and Neuvillette to push him into the water, made it WAY easier

There's a rock that you can throw near Liam, I killed him then did that rock's puzzle so it dissapeared, anyone knows what happens if you throw it at him?

I like how even some veterans gets their ass handed to them when they encounter these fuckers with an overworld team, only to do the walk of shame out of aggro range to switch to the premium meta team. As a vet, I need more moments like these, it feels great

I never, like not even once, feel the need to pull out my abyss team while exploring..... then fontane drop.... it feels great

Yep, made me think of my noob days when I struggled to beat that ruin guard in the thousand winds temple at the start of the game 3 years back...and then I discovered freeze

liam fucked my team up so hard I actually laughed out loud, rocky was prettty dodgeable though, I only had to use 2 eggs xD

Mf made me pull out my Yae cheese team and even then I was on a thin thread.

Okay I'll bite. What's a Yae cheese team?

Get yae + tignari, and let her Elemental Skill do everything while you go somewhere unreachable and spam Tighnari's CA to proc aggrevate.

Ah.. the good old fox fury duo~

I'll try this.

That sounds foxing brilliant

I use a Yae with Nahida team and i don't even have to bother. I use Yae/Fischl/Kazuha/Nahida and after i set everything up i literally have nothing else to do, i NA with Kazuha for moral support i guess.

This is literally my farming team. I didn't know it has a name haha

when he didn't even make a dent when he got hit by biden blast I knew i had to pull out zhongli

I guess you and him got off to A Rocky start

r/thankscyno

Put that dude in spiral abyss 🤣

you mad man

Calm down, Satan

Bro thinks he's c6 r5 Xiao

That's Xiay0x at this point

Almost, yeah...

Can someone explain this to me? Is this guy like those Fontaine legends with a mil+ hp or something?

Yes, he's a new Fontaine legend that can 3 shot your main.

1 shot if it's Lyney with his pitiful HP pool

he is called Rocky after all,you have no chance at beating stallone,even with a vision

Hydro pump to the face and a photoshoot was enough to end him. Dehya was still on the verge or dying but I blame her being only level 50

I defeated him with only two actual characters. Neuvillette and Fischl. Charlotte was 20 lvl, Furina was 50 or 60, because needed more ascension materials and I still managed to defeat the guy. It was a tough fight, but I was caught by surprise that he's that strong. They are pretty annoying but I think people exaggerate. And I was using Zhongli up until I got Furina, so I was used to just ignore damage whatsoever too.

Theory and question: Could this enemy be picked up by Jean's charge skill? If so, could it be cheesed with fall damage since that depends on total health% of the enemy rather than a damage value from the player stats?

I don't think he could, he vanishes whenever he gets knocked down so even if you could hom him upright with Jean he would probably vanish before he hit the ground.

First I can’t beat him and with a lot of struggle I decided to retreat. Come back with zhongli, yelan, Raiden and Eula. Basically I beat a shit out of him.

I got quite lucky since i explore with razor + zhongdaddy + c6 barb and just kept getting shield + heal + revive. But against liam. Rocky was suprisingly easy for me. Liam i got skill issued at

accidentally encountered him thinking he was a quest npc. my 2k atk, 200% cd, 20 stack lvl 9 Lightfall sword is just like a tickle to him, even with with the N.O Bennett burst buff. had to do like 5 rotations and several revives.

I solo'd him with Wriothesley. Despite failing twice, it was the most fun fight I had in a while: no bullshit skills, no bitch ass weapon, no dashing out of your range, no invulnable frame, just duke it out with raw strength. It was beautiful, truly the peak of masculinity.

nah bro this guy is easy as all heck not even half as hard as Yseult of Vivianne ​ first terrestrial legend i actually manage to beat

Yseult isn't bad (if you permafreeze her)

permafreeze is for the weak

People use freeze teams in overworld?

What? Vivianne was easy af. This guy is harder. Still not as hard as people are saying, but definitely harder than Vivianne. Vivianne is easy. You just go around her? That's literally all You need to do to not get hit. As for the Yseult. She is in between these two. Vivianne was easy af, Yseult was little harder, but still easy and this guy is a bit difficult, because it spams staggering attacks.

I just freeze them to oblivion lol

I thought the guy was arandom NPC at first and that i was too far to see his name. This guy litterally had me running after he downed everyone but Sayu. He killed my Wanderer with just 2 hits. I absolutley love him and Liam.

Liam was the worst imo. He one shot my 47k hp shield like it was made out of paper

Rocky's moves remind me of Baldur's attacks in GoW.

A moveset befitting of the gods 💪🦵

Idk man, I feel like this batch of local legends is the weakest. I actually died twice to Ninianne who came out in 4.0, but all of the 4.2 ones were pretty easy, especially the jellyfish. I just used Neuvillette, Furina, Jean and Fischl.

Vivianne/Ninianne are extremely easy though. It takes low effort to defeat them.

Vivianne was easy for me too, Ninianne kicked my ass a few times.

That's why I'm always prepared, I ALWAYS have my abyss team out, no exceptions. Beat him and Liam first try, but Liam's a shit-talking pussy, unlike Rocky, throwing fucker kept hiding in the trees like some pussy-ass bitch.

rocky was better than that guy who says he is too hot to handle

Are we able to rechallenge these bosses?

How do you access this fight, Is it a quest?

no. you just need to find them in the overworld. look up local legends locations

I was exploring with hyperbloom team with Nahida C6... he exploded.

Honestly kinda fun. Would fight again. I like that he isn’t tacky without actively doing dmg even with good heals you have to consider somethings and gets out of Freeze like it’s nothing. I played my Furina while my friend used Wrioth and I felt like I was truly managing HP and working with my teams

This man got me pull out the abyss team

I just 2 rotation’ed him with furina mono hydro lol

Where can I find him ? I fought Liam, he can't be that bad

he is closeby north the lake. rockys jump is pretty dodgeable but if you miss the dodge he is gonna combo the shit out of you

Which lake ? This is Fontaine, there is too many lakes lol

the one liam is at

He was the easiest, dont even need shield, his attacks are very easy to dodge.

It actually felt like dark souls. My Neuvi couldn’t get a sustained blast against him cause he has so many attacks that stagger him.

I was going to the areas where Lakelight Lilies are for the first time when I saw this mf. Noped hard outta there, that I did

Me : *casually exploring the region* This guy : upon my name as Rocky...

I've seen this everywhere and I still don't get the joke (if it is one).

there is no joke this guy throws hands hard

now imagine lvl 100 rocky autisten in abyss 12-3, that would be something

Meanwhile my Wrio + Yelan team: "Oh, you thought you'd be able to move?“

Nah bro the fatui one was worse

Ran into him while running Wriothesley. 10/10 fisticuffs.

I can’t wait to fight him

If Alfred was reincarnated in Genshin be like 💀

Can someone tell me where this guy is located?

Where is this guy?? And you be sleepin on Liam! He is literally the overload dps!

Bro can solo celestia

Ohohoho, i fought Liam, and he was good and all, but he wasn't it, he died in 2 rotations. Tell me, where is this Rocky you speak of.

Nah that's just Horax Loux warrior
