1. Basic information about the Feathered mold

	feathered mold
Class	magical creature
Grade	Regular boss
Nick	Beloved Mushroom King, Mushroom Lord of the Dark Forest
Description	Over the years, these large molds have taken on a unique shape. Their intelligence has reached, and perhaps even surpassed the intelligence of real animals. They actively hunt for food. The tail of the fungus has a beautiful jade plumage, similar to the plumage of an ancient sacred beast, which is revered by Spantamad. According to the logic of anthropomorphic evolution, one should think that they once walked the earth together.

Location of the Feathered Mold

Before heading to the Feather Mold's lair, Travelers must fulfill a number of specific conditions:

• Reach Adventure Rank 32.

If the location is still closed, then start the story mission of the Archons Chapter 1. Volume 3. «Through smoke and dark woods” (it is not necessary to pass completely).

Feathered mold (Jadeplume Terrorshroom) is located in the northwest of Sumeru.

Entrance to the boss

You will find a portal (black hole) in the northwest of Sumeru. To get into it, jump up to it with the mushroom and use the four-leaf symbol. Entering the portal will lead you straight to the boss.

Burning and Resurrecting States

The feathered moulder is a unique opponent of the Dendro element. When damaging him with the abilities of certain elements, you can change his state. In total, the boss has 2 states:

• Revitalization - Feathered Mold starts to deal more damage.
• Combustion – additional opponents (molds) appear on the battlefield.

More about state mechanics:

• By attacking the boss with Electro skills, you cause him to accumulate Activation. Also, Activation accumulates if you create a Catalysis reaction (Dendro + Electro). At maximum Activation, he enters a state of Vivify that empowers his attacks and allows him to use new skills. The buff lasts until the monster comes out of Revive. To reduce the amount of Activation energy, hit the boss with the abilities of the elemental hero Pyro. You can track the accumulation of a resource by the red icon under the scale of its HP.
• If you damage the boss with a Pyro elemental ability while he is not in the Revive state, he will enter the Burning state and then enter the Scorch phase. The burnt monster will do its best to recover and will scatter spores everywhere, from which molds will appear after a short time.

You can understand the state of the Feathered mold in its appearance.

Don't stray too far from the boss

If you stand too far from the Feather Mold, it will attack the active hero with a barrage of dendro projectiles. They automatically aim at the target and deal a lot of damage. The boss can use this ability multiple times in a row. Meanwhile, if you need to move to the edge of the platform, then at the moment when the dendro projectiles fly up to the character, dash to the side to dodge them.

Be careful when standing near the Feathered Mold

During close combat, the monster uses a combined attack - it turns around and hits the hero, after which it performs a beak strike on the ground and makes a jump. Try to jump to the side at this moment, or use defensive skills to reduce damage.

Use potions and food

The Feathered Mold is a dangerous enemy added in Update 3.0. Going to fight him, stock up on potions and food that increase the characteristics of the squad. We recommend bringing the following with you:

The listed potions and food are recommended for the fight with the Feathered Mold. If you do not have recipes for making certain dishes, replace them with similar foods with similar, albeit less properties. For example, instead of "Temptation of the Adept" you can take "Jade bags". This meal increases the Attack Rating of all party members by 224~320 + increases Critical Hit Chance by 8~12%. The effect lasts the same - 5 minutes.

3. Recommended characters for the battle with the Feathered Mold

Below we will present the character sets that are best suited for fighting Dendro Hypostasis. But first, it’s worth saying that when assembling a squad, always choose heroes with the following roles:

• 1 main damage (DPS, dealing basic damage);
• 2 additional fighters (sub DPS);
• 1 support hero (healer).

Alternative variation of the group:

• 1 main damage dealer (dealing basic damage);
• 1 additional strong fighter;
• 2 support heroes (healers).

Basic DPS

You can use any character from the list below as your main source of damage feathered mold:

Character	Weapon	Effects
Hu Tao		Huge Pyro damage from both elemental skill and ult. Can trigger a Burn reaction that weakens Feather Mold.
Eimia		Can attack the boss from a safe distance with fire infusion.
Diluc		Deals damage to Pyro with attacks. A powerful explosion of elements in the area.
Kli		Each hit is pure Pyro elemental damage, allowing for a continuous Burn reaction.
Ayaka		Powerful elemental explosion damage that can take a large amount of health to the enemy in a few seconds.
Ganyu		Charged with ice arrows, deals damage from a safe distance, without being exposed to enemy attacks. It is also capable of acting as a sup-dd through an elemental explosion.
Eola		With the help of a strong explosion of the elements, it is able to remove a large amount of health from the enemy.

Sub DPS

These characters will buff the team's damage and can act as a second damage dealer when hunting the Feathered Mold

Character	Weapon	Effects
		Able to inflict a large amount of Pyro damage from an elemental explosion, even when not on the field.
Mona		Suitable both for a buff from Omen (ults) for causing more damage, and for activating the effect of Budding (Dendro + Hydro) and Blooming (Dendro + Hydro + Pyro).
Ye Lan		Mobility due to fast movement when using an elemental skill and passive Hydro damage from an elemental explosion.
Xingqiu		Very useful Elemental Burst: Increases interrupt resistance, deals Hydro damage, and restores a small amount of health to the active character after the water swords end.
Heizo		When assembled into crits, it can deal good damage. The mastery build on this boss will be useless due to the lack of Dispel reaction with Dendro.
Albedo		A good sub-DD, capable of attacking in a wide area.

Supports (healers, shielders)

Character	Weapon	Effects
Zhong Li		A strong and stable shield that helps to avoid damage from powerful enemy attacks.
Yun Jin		Good buffer for characters using normal attacks. When an elemental skill is activated, it creates a shield for a short time and reflects the enemy's blow with it.
		A fairly versatile hero who can act in any role: healer, shield and main damage dealer.
volumes		The shield is less strong than that of the same Zhong Li, and with conditions, but this is compensated by the Pyro element and periodic damage from the ult.
		Gives the Pyro effect for Burning, buffs the unit and heals.
Kokomi		Continuous heal. If you use her elemental burst so that the boss attack occurs during the cutscene, no damage will be taken.
Jean		With the use of an explosion of elements, restores health to all characters in the squad.
		Shield and healer. At the 6th constellation, increases elemental mastery in the ultimate circle by 200 points.
		Imposes Dendro status for Budding and Blooming reactions.

BUDGET TEAM

Character 1	Character 2	Character 3	Character 4	Features
	Ember	Dendro Traveler	Barbara	Fully F2P team, doing a great job with the Feathered Mold. Two Pyro heroes for the Burn reaction + Pyro resonance for the attack power buff. Dendro Traveler applies Dendro status. Barbara/Noelle - Heal or shield.
				A low-budget squad with great potential, with Yan Fei as the backbone of the group and Collei being used to conduct reactions. Diona and Bennet are the perfect combination for increased protection and healing.

Use the abilities of healers

If you're having trouble dodging boss attacks, pick your healer more often and heal the group.

Combine the abilities of Hydro, Dendro and Electro elemental heroes

The elemental reaction "Budding" (Hydro + Dendro) creates dendro cores on the battlefield that explode and deal additional damage to nearby monsters. The combination of Dendro + Hydro + Electro elements will allow the Dendro Cores to turn into creeping projectiles and automatically fly into the Feathered Mold.
