After swinging its wing for an attack, Thunder Manifestation leaves a large opening and opportunity for you to attack. Grab this chance and deal whatever damage you can before it prepares for another attack.
One of the ‘Must avoid at all cost’ attacks by Thunder Manifestation. When our boss starts rotating anti-clockwise, you get the perfect sign to decide your next move. You can either get away from the boss or just dash behind it to avoid any damage. You will not get any opportunity to attack Thunder Manifestation during this period so do not try your luck here.
This may sound a bit strange, but you can actually prevent Thunder Manifestation from teleporting to different locations frequently. Try dashing behind the boss as soon as it completes any attack, which will also give you many golden opportunities to attack it. Once you start hitting it back-to-back, Thunder Manifestation will have a hard time teleporting from one place to another.
You can just dodge those projectiles by sprinting to either of the sides. Another effective way to react to this attack is to get behind the boss once all the five projectiles are produced.
A high speed attack which can make you regret your decision if you do not evade it on time. The only thing that tells you the direction of the dash is the purple trail that you will see on the ground before the attack. Quickly dash out of the trail to avoid any damage.

This attack can be avoided by simply moving your character out of the area of effect.
To avoid the attack, all you have to do is sprint in the opposite direction to the cage and it will disappear after a few seconds. Also, attacking Thunder Manifestation during this attack is not a good idea.
To ensure that your character does not get hurt, you can either run towards the long exit of the walls and get out of the trap or you can dash through one of the walls. We recommend you to wait and attack the boss till the walls are too close and then you can swiftly dash through one of the walls. It is a simple way to save your hitpoints while damaging your opponent too.

Since your opponent and its attacks are completely based on electricity, do not make the mistake of using an electro character. Other elemental characters can prove to be more useful in this fight. The best characters to play with against Thunder Manifestation are those who belong to Pyro and Cryo elements. Additionally, using long ranged characters is the way to go so avoid using melee characters. Using characters that can create shields is a good option too.
Just like every weapon has its own advantage against a certain enemy or on a certain terrain, every character in Genshin Impact has its own benefits when you fight any boss.
