How to Beat Radiant Moongecko

Use Lunar-Crystallize or Geo Attacks to Break its Shield

The Radiant Moongecko's main gimmick is its unique Geo shield due to the multiple shield bars that appears below its HP. Thankfully, it can be easily destroyed by using Lunar-Crystallize or any Geo attacks.

Destroying each shield bar also damages the Moongecko's HP bar. The boss's Geo shield appears after it lifts its tail and lights it up with Geo element. The Geo shield can also be prevented by defeating the Moongecko fast enough that it won't be able to summon it.

Lunar-Crystallize Reaction Guide

Claymore Characters and Plunging Attacks Can Also be Used

Alternate solution to breaking the Moongecko's shield is to use Claymore characters, like Varka, Diluc, or Itto, or Plunging attacks, with Xianyun or Xiao.

Bring Lunar-Crystallize, Geo, or Claymore Characters

For the Radiant Moongecko, teams that consist of characters that can utilize Lunar-Crystallize, decent Geo application, or heavy Claymore attacks to break its unique Geo shield.

You can also use other teams that can one-shot burst the world boss to prevent it from summoning the shield.

Bring Strong Healers Against Radiant Cocoon

With the Radiant Cocoon's effects that can increase DMG taken from them, inability to produce CRIT attacks, and decreased healing, you need to bring stong healers with you that can heal you back to full HP.

Bennett may be good for ATK buffs but can only heal 70% of the active character's HP. For this, bringing someone like Kokomi, Xilonen, Furina, or Xianyun may be a better option.

This thing is actually much easier to beat with Navia than Zibai. In theatre she can even solo it.
