Sage Genji

Sage Genji is one of the three bosses of the Moonlight Village.

The Realm Eye says:
One of the original students of the danmaku dance, Genji is a powerful spirit who is able to harness the unyielding power of water.
His movements are strengthened by the currents of the nearby river.
He performs every night at his village’s festival in order to appease the spirits that gather there.

Behavior

Genji, along with Drummer Kaguya and Dancer Miko, will be found in the main area of the Moonlight Village. Once approached, he and the other dancers will provide some dialogue before teleporting all players to the arena and starting the fight.
“A timeless ritual for the spirits before us…”
“Witness our form! Witness our grace! Witness the beauty, of the Moonlight Dance!”

The three dancers will attack one at a time in a random order. Depending on when Genji attacks, his behavior will be different.

  • If he is the first dancer, he will perform one Damage phase and one Danmaku phase.
  • If he is the second dancer, he will perform two sets of Damage and Danmaku phases for a total of 4 phases. Any dancers that previously attacked will start to support him.
  • If he is the last dancer, he will perform two sets of Damage and Danmaku phases, followed by his Last Word at the very end of the fight.
  • On Leisurely mode, he will only use one Damage phase and one Danmaku Phase regardless of his position, followed by the Last Word if he was the last dancer.

See the Boss Phases section of the main page for more info on the dancers’ battle structure.

Damage Phases

During these phases, Genji will be Gold Four Pointed Star Armor Broken and must be damaged to accelerate the phase. In each one, Genji will use one standard attack at random, coupled with a random secondary attack to supplement it. He will never use the same attack more than once.

If a dancer was defeated before Genji, they will periodically cross the arena during these attacks, firing bullets to aid Genji.

Bursting Fountain

Genji summons a large bubble in the middle of the map that sporadically fires smaller bubbles outwards, which will start moving in a circular pattern when they fly far enough. Genji himself will follow players and periodically launch three large blue bubbles in a Y pattern, each of which will periodically fire 4 water twirls around them as they fly.

Converging Tides

Genji follows players, periodically summoning a ring of water stars that converge on his current position. Curving streams of water swirls will constantly fire at players from the edges of the arena, and a rain of water droplets will continuously fall vertically along the arena.

Foaming Pools

Genji summons three rotating bubbles in the center of the arena that each spray bubble shots outwards as they rotate. Meanwhile, two outer rings of bubble turrets will saturate the arena with slow water stars. Genji will spin around the arena and does not attack for this phase.

Surging Rapids

Genji circles around the arena, firing 3-way shotguns of water bolts. An invincible bubble will be in the center of the arena, shooting a 3-way spiral of swirls and a sporadic radial barrage of small bubbles.

Crashing Waves

Genji moves between the four cardinal points of the arena at random. Every time he arrives, he will summon several thick walls of bullets from the other side of the arena, which fly towards him; each one has several gaps to dodge through. He will also summon a randomized barrage of water waves that moves in the opposite direction of the walls.

Secondary Attacks
  • A rain of water droplets that falls from the top of the arena to the bottom.
  • An arena-wide, randomized rain of AoEs telegraphed by red circles.
  • Accelerating bursts of water twirls fired from the edges of the arena.
  • Periodic spreads of shards fired from the edges of the arena.
  • Converging waves of water twirls fired from the left and right sides of the arena.

Danmaku Phases

During these phases, players cannot harm Genji and must stay close to the Lantern in the arena to speed up the phase. Players will be inflicted with Silenced Silenced and In Combat for the duration of the phase, but will also be given 3 seconds of Red Cross Healing and Blue Cross Energized at the end of it.

Downpour on the Barren Fields

Genji rapidly bombards the arena with a randomized “rain” of AoEs, which are telegraphed by red circles. Four bubble turrets spawn at the cardinal points of the arena, which periodically turn blue and fire slow rings of blue spikes. At the same time, thick walls of shots will periodically sweep diagonally across the arena, each with multiple gaps to dodge through. Genji himself will move around the arena in a diamond pattern, leaving behind a trail of stationary spinners.

The Lantern will be in the center of the arena.

Unyielding Water on Stone

Genji rotates clockwise around the arena while firing rapid rings of water waves with periodic gaps. Revolving rings of water shots periodically spawn at the top and bottom of the arena (telegraphed by warning symbols), and streams of shots will periodically sweep across the arena, alternating between horizontally and vertically.

The Lantern rotates clockwise around the arena.

Torrent of Memories

Genji shrinks the arena with a border of water shots. After a telegraph, Genji spawns multiple clusters of water waves that expand and form spinning rings, each with two gaps to dodge through; once the rings expire, Genji will immediately telegraph the next wave. Small bubble bullets will additionally start spawning from the edges of the arena. Genji himself will maintain a ring of shots around him and periodically fire a dense 3-way shotgun of water bolts.

The Lantern rotates clockwise around the arena.

Last Word ~ Tears in the Rain

Genji’s final attack progresses through four stages as it nears completion. For the duration of the Last Word, all players will be inflicted with Pet Stasis Pet Stasis, Silenced Silenced, Skull Sick, Empty Potion Bottle Drought, and In Combat.

  • Gentle: Genji summons a horizontal “sea” of shots with a large gap in the middle to dodge through; this safe region slowly moves up and down. Additional water waves will be fired down the safe region, and a storm of water droplets will fall down the length of the arena. Genji moves back and forth at the top of the arena and does not attack.
  • Moderate: Genji begins firing rings of slow water waves.
  • Intense: Genji begins firing additional rings of bubble shots.
  • Climax: The fire rate of all attacks significantly increases.

The Lantern very slowly moves back and forth in the middle of the arena.

Battle Dialogue

First Dancer
  • (start) “What more could we ask from a brave audience willing to perform alongside us? Let us begin!”
  • (first Danmaku) “Your dance has brought out curious spirit seeking to follow along in our dance!”
    “A danmaku dance may be what we need to lift this festival!”
  • (end) “Our guests are quite tenacious, my friends! Let us close this opening act, and see where the tide leads us next!”
Second Dancer
  • (start, Miko defeated) “How did you find Miko’s performance? I shall further aim to enhance the festival’s atmosphere.”
  • (start, Kaguya defeated) “Were you captivated by Kaguya’s performance? I shall further aim to enhance the festival’s atmosphere.”
  • (last Danmaku) “My section of the festival is almost over. I hope my contribution refreshed your spirit.”
  • (end) “Our final dancer will now greet you, please enjoy the final performances.”
Third Dancer
  • (start) “The other dancers have paved the way to this final part of the festival. I will give it my all for the spirits here tonight!”
  • (last Danmaku) “Your tenacity is admirable. I will honour you with my own fervour!”
  • (Last Word) “My final dance will now bring this festival to a close!”
    “By the grace of our patron goddess…”
    “Let us begin the final dance!”

Defeat and Aftermath

“This concludes the Moonlight Dance.”

Once the three dancers are all defeated, all the gathered spirits will converge into a loot bag, and the dancers will take their leave. If Genji was the final dancer and Leisurely mode was not activated, he will grant players a Life Exaltation upon defeat.

After the battle, Genji can be found in the main path of the dungeon, where he can be talked to.
“Oof, I must have strained myself just earlier…do you have a moment to talk?”

Players can also prompt additional dialogue if they ask Genji about specific topics.

Drops

The three dancers will collectively drop loot in a single bag at the end of the fight.
