Lightning Gods of Yomi

[Marvolaukes]

This boss is idiotic. I'm almost completely immune to lightning and I still die. The window for my 2 hits appears once every 10 of his attacks. Who the hell designed this?! + my weapon should do over 1300 damage from a normal attack and it does half that. This DLC S-U-C-K-S.

may i introduce you to my best friend ippon datara? and also lightning stop talismans?

[kripcision]

dodge the lightning also use the lightning resistance talismans.

It's a hard boss for sure! But it's exclusively using lightning, so it has weaknesses. As others already said: put on lightning stop talismans for this fight.

There are some notable things to be on the look out for when fighting yomi.

1. Preparation - Lightningstop talisman or Daion-Jin's Sake (prevents lightning debuff. but no lightning damage reduction)
   - Elemental Damage Reduction on Guard (Tempered on helmet; if you have inheritables, use it on 2 other armor pieces).
   - Genbu Guardian Spirit if you somehow can't stay alive.
   - Chest pieces and some accessories can also be tempered for flat elemental damage reduction
   - Big bonus if you use splitstaff as Dragon Dance literally can hit all targets on head to toe when they appear.
   
2. In normal phase, yomi is fairly manageable as long as you avoid the big hits and work on grinding her anima down with your anima/ki busting attacks.
   
3. In her dark realm phase, as the comment above stated, having Ippon will trivialize the phase. The "trick" is timing when to use it given limited anima (Archyokai talisman or topping it out with Red Spider Lily / Latern Plant fruit will help).
   - IMO the best time to use it is when the lightning skull masks appears on her body OR when she is about to activate her channeling abilities (the lightning fields, the triple lightning waves specifically).

Good luck!

The lightning debuff alone makes fighting her absolutely miserable, yes. But the main thing you have to do is stay near and slightly behind her so she can waste the most time possible swatting at the air with her rekka combo (be careful about the third attack).

Besides that, run at an angle from the delayed three projectiles, keep watch for the line attack, and make sure to disengage lock-on to figure out where the thunderclouds are in the dark realm phase before you start spamming yokai abilities on her weakspots, as stated above.

I killed him. I had to change the armor to the lightest "A" and change the stance to the lowest. I beat him for almost 2 hours because my attacks dealt 200 damage, but there was no other way.
