How to defeat the Perpetual Mechanical Array in Genshin Impact's Spiral Abyss

1) Create an Elemental team

The team is the most important aspect of Genshin Impact when facing an enemy. Perpetual Mechanical Array is inside a branch of the Ruin Machines enemy type, where all of them have high Physical Resistance. Thus, it is recommended to deploy Elemental characters and rely on specific Elemental Reactions such as Melt Vaporize to defeat it.

Travelers can improve their odds by adding a shielder to the team as it will allow players to take a lot of damage without avoiding it. With this, players will only have to evade a critical hit from certain attacks.

2) Perpetual Mechanical Array defensive mode

When the Perpetual Mechanical Array reaches a certain threshold of its health, it will enter a defensive mode. This mode consists of a formidable barrier that cannot be hit and summons four Ruin Sentinels. One of those four Ruin Sentinels will be highlighted and players can only inflict damage on that opponent.

The Perpetual Mechanical Array will be paralyzed, and its base resistances will be reduced by 50% if the highlighted Ruin Sentinel is defeated. However, the Perpetual Mechanical Array will still exit Defensive Mode if the highlighted enemy is not defeated over a long period of time.

3) Save Elemental Bursts

The Boss has a lot of skills and is usually spamming all of them back-to-back, making it harder for Genshin Impact players to land a hit. One golden moment that players should take advantage of is when the Perpetual Mechanical Array is paralyzed after entering the defensive mode.

Players should use Elemental Skill as often as possible to get Elemental Particles and save every character's Elemental Burst. Then, players should use the short duration of the vulnerability to dump all players' stocked Elemental Burst on the enemy.

4) Learn its attack pattern

The Perpetual Mechanical Array in Genshin Impact has attacks that are usually difficult to avoid. The boss has six offensive attacks, each with a distinctive red symbol around the target indicating the attack's area of effect. To avoid being hit by the attacks, players must sprint at the precise time. It's worth noting that the Perpetual Mechanical Array possesses two Melee special moves and one Ranged special move.

5) Do not run to the wall

Running towards the wall is a common strategy when facing almost all enemies inside the Spiral Abyss as it will immensely help players limit their opponents' movement. However, the Perpetual Mechanical Array is not like other mob enemies. It can perform ranged attacks and always return to the center after a set duration.

The Perpetual Mechanical Array is a great challenge for veteran players who wish for the developer to add more difficulty to the Spiral Abyss in Genshin Impact. However, new players may face difficulty because the chamber is more like a DPS check rather than being focused on strategy.
