The Oceanid boss in Genshin Impact might come as an unsurmountable battle for new players. However, if you know the ins and outs of the battle – it becomes a rather gimmicky fight.

In the entire fight, Rhodeia of Loch or Oceanid will never touch the ground – she will summon water monsters. Players have to defeat these monsters in order to lower the Oceanids health bar. Now, that the aim of the fight is clear – let us talk about the arena where you fight the Oceanid.

The Oceanid boss arena is made of many square platforms combined together, and whenever the players defeat two batch of water monsters – two blocks of the floor will sink. So, the best strategy to avoid getting yourself drowned is to run towards any of the corners – and when the sinking is in the process get to the central arena.

How to defeat the Oceanid in Genshin Impact – Rhodeia of Loch boss fight

Now that we have discussed every major aspect of the Oceanid boss battle in Genshin Impact. Here is what you can do to easily win the fight against Oceanid.

Party – Make sure to take at least one pyro user and one electro user.

Our Recommendation – two electro user like Fischl, Razor, Keqing, etc. Two Pyro to get 25% extra ATK DMG elemental resonance status.

Best team composition for Oceanid boss battle in Genshin Impact – Fischl, Razor, Bennet and Xiangling.

For non free to play players – Fischl, Keqing, Qiqi and Diluc.

Apart from the waters monsters, the Oceanid has only three attacks

Sinking platforms – as we said earlier, whenever player defeats two waves of monsters – the Oceanid will sink two platforms(in which player is standing). Use the aforementioned strategy to avoid it.
Water Whirlpool – the Oceanid creates a whirlpool near the player that cannot be dodged, moreover it deals DoT damage, and explodes after a while, dealing massive damage. Use Fischl elemental burst to avoid a massive damage. Also, this attack is only triggered when you take a long time in defeating the water monsters. So it can be avoided if you deal with the monsters as soon as possible.
Submerge in water – nothing that big, she submerges herself in water.

Use bow users like Fischl to deal with enemies from a long range. Or, use Bennet’s Elemental Skill near the monsters spawn point and go for close range attacks using Razor or any other sword or claymore user.

Cryo users can be used to freeze the water monsters and then close-range attacks way better than long-range(as you can deal with multiple of them at once and since they are frozen they can’t regenerate). So, a team with two Electro and two Cryo users is also a good strategy to go with.
