Holy moly, you guys! Just spent three nights battling this absolute unit of a boss in Wuthering Waves 2.0 update. That Dragon of Dirge? Total nightmare fuel but OMG so satisfying when you finally dunk on this dracolich kingpin! 🐉💥 Real talk - Gehinnom (yeah that's its government name) doesn't even bother with a second phase because its opening salvo will vaporize your squad faster than you can say 'nope'. The first time it roasted my main DPS with that green fire breath? Felt personally attacked tbh. But after grinding this bad boy, I'm spilling all the tea to save y'all the headache!
Attack Breakdown: Reading Its Moves Like a Pro
This scaly menace's attacks seem chaotic AF at first but trust me, they've got patterns. Memorize these and you'll be flexing like:
| Attack | Parryable? | How to Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Roar of Falling Fire | ❌ | Spam dodge sideways - GTFO that AOE! |
| Charge | ❌ | Sidestep right/left like you're in The Matrix |
| Triple Lasers | ❌ | Stand where lasers converge then dip |
| Dive into Thorns | ✅ (dive) | Parry the dive then dodge wing shards |
| Five Hit Combo | ❌ | Dodge toward its tail during final slam |
Lowkey the scariest move? That Five Hit Combo - starts with a chomp and ends with explosions that'll make your screen shake. Pro tip: When you see it rear up, start counting "one Mississippi..." in your head for dodge timing.
My Top 3 Combat Hacks That Actually Work
-
Respect the damage 💀: Even its "weakest" swipe takes 60% HP. No joke - bring healers or GG
-
Camera angles matter: Zoom out max to track those arena-wide attacks
-
Elemental resistance check: Fusion damage? Big L. Stick to these:
-
Electro
-
Havoc
-
Physical
Squad Goals: Who Carries This Fight
After testing every meta comp, these units made me scream "YAS QUEEN" at 3AM:
| Character | Role | Why They Slay |
|---|---|---|
| Carlotta | Main DPS | Mobility + damage = cheat codes |
| Jinhsi | Main DPS | Dragon vs dragon action? Iconic ✨ |
| Havoc Rover | Main DPS | Free unit that punches way above weight |
| Zhezhi | Sub-DPS | Buffs so good they feel illegal |
| Shorekeeper | Support | Healing that'll make you weep with joy |
Shoutout to my girl Carlotta - she basically solos this fight while sipping tea. Meanwhile Yinlin? Still putting in werk as sub-DPS queen with those lightning procs ⚡
