*Spoiler* Trounce Domain

Hoping I don’t ruin someone’s day, but I have a general question and concern about I will express further below

The new Trounce Domain (being vague incase people ignored the warnings) feels like a letdown after the AQ. I was under the pretense that Nuke DPS chars like Mauvuika, Plunge Diluc, etc would have a hard time due to \[Redacted\]’s healing factor (that doesn’t happen in the reruns after the AQ) but, it’s a absurdly easy fight for me considering there’s no conditions/team limitations, \[Redacted\] can die from taking out one of his copies, and the mechanics like don’t move or inverted controls don’t last long enough to have a meaningful effect in their fight. Half of me is relieved the boss isn’t so op you definitely need co-op or a high skill level, but the other half feels disappointed we didn’t get 2 trounce domains this year (previous hyped up boss which ACTUALLY had 2 phases) and the difficulty was harder to compete the first time compared to reruns

Why are we overcensoring when dottore was mentioned 30 times in the livestream and hoyo themselves showed footags 3 weeks ago

Some people don’t watch livestreams, and a ex friend called me a slur when I mentioned Rerir having 2 phases but didn’t say the name or any mechanics of the boss. Not everyone is like that, but I decided to be even more diligent when talking about events people aren’t caught up to is all.

You do have a point tho

Why tf am I getting downvoted

I like fighting this boss precisely because there are no team limitations. It allows me to bring out my less used characters like Yoimiya or Ifa to face him.

Unbound_Tachi2026-01-20 00:53

Same, I just wished for some HP like Raiden’s if not slightly higher if rheee wasn’t going to be multiple phases

it's easy because it's for the casuals.

SaberWaifu2026-01-20 01:03

If casuals were truly casuals, they would simply go for a lower difficulty if the one they tried was too hard. They aren't bothered by getting less rewards because it's not like they have endgame contents to clear anyway so it's simply not a problem.

corecenite2026-01-20 01:05

news flash for you, it's not always about the endgame when it comes to rewards. some people just love to build the characters they love.

SaberWaifu2026-01-20 01:11

Nothing prevents them from doing that. It's all about time efficency.

The casual player doesn't optimize the time they would take to reach a goal, so using a lower difficulty and getting less rewards will spend more time but will eventually lead to the same result.

corecenite2026-01-20 01:19

it's not about the time to complete it either. there was a time that hoyo did hard battle boss fights but a lot of players had a hard time even completing it. hoyo took notes, fixed it and the rest are history.

Unbound_Tachi2026-01-20 01:12

I don’t know about that one chief, why is the boss battle about a false god made for casuals and the battle hungry ginger has 3 phases? Granted Childe’s battle is extremely outdated I just don’t think you thought this comment completely through

corecenite2026-01-20 01:16

it's not about the boss itself but rather the game is.

mee8Ti6Eit2026-01-20 01:38

WDYM we did get 2 trounce domain, like we always do every year

Unbound_Tachi2026-01-20 01:40

Let me explain, I was hoping Rerir was a trounce domain but then it turned out to be Dottore. I just liked the Rerir battle enough that I wish it was we could rerun it even if there were no rewards

Mihoyo probably got complaints from their whales that their C6R5 teams couldn't just one shot the boss, and Mihoyo caved.

And frankly, I agree. If the individual phases aren't going to be interesting anyways (they never are), then just let me be done with it.

Edit: Then again, looking back at the last couple weekly bosses, the archon quest finale boss tends to be 1-shottable, while the second weekly boss requires multiple phases.

Natlan dragon - 1shot. Chess boss, 3 phases.

Fontaine whale, 1shot. Arlecchino, 2 phases

That's not really much to base a pattern on though.

Get in the queue, Rerir. I'm still waiting for Osial and Beisht domains.

Unbound_Tachi2026-01-20 06:46

Oh yeaaa, those were fun too. It’s a fleeting dream but making those boss battles after part 1 finishes would be cool
