Specifically, elite Fatui enemies in version 4.1 of Genshin Impact will possess a new mechanic that not only counters shields but also healers. This forces players to find ways to dodge their attacks if they don't want to take significant damage and lose health.

The two new enemies in version 4.1 are the Windward Artillery and the Frostarm Lawachurl, with health levels comparable to the previously challenging Hypostases encountered by players in versions 3.6 and 3.7. Moreover, both possess a new mechanic capable of penetrating shields. Specifically:
- Every 20 seconds, they will consume 5% of their health to perform an unblockable attack. If their HP is low, the amount of health consumed decreases.
- When hitting a character, they will self-heal 10% of their health, simultaneously applying the Bond of Life effect to the player. This effect can stack.
- The Bond of Life causes the character to continuously lose health even with shields and negates all healing effects, rendering the character unable to recover. The Bond of Life only disappears when it absorbs enough healing.
- When another unblockable attack hits a character affected by the Bond of Life, it deals 250% damage.
These adversaries represent a new, elusive form of elite Fatui, not abundant but rather limited in number. Unfortunately, there's grim news from Mytour: they'll emerge in Dragonspine 4.1, immediately following Zhongli's reappearance. Once again, the Geo element in general, and specifically Zhongli, along with shield-bearing characters, have been stealthily adjusted by miHoYo through a novel mechanism.
Meanwhile, a fresh boss in patch 4.1 is the Gravity Field Experiment Machine, boasting an intriguing buffing ability for players. In its Ousia state, it unleashes perilous strikes while generating 'anti-gravity fields' enabling characters to leap significantly higher, akin to Xiao's burst. This state will conclude after 1 minute, but you can prematurely deactivate it with 3 Pneuma strikes. After 30 seconds, it will reboot. It will serve as the boss in chamber 12-3 of Dragonspine 4.1.
But this isn't the reason Mytour claims this boss debuffs the Geo element. The actual reason is because it possesses... a 70% Geo resistance, leaving main Itto, Ningguang, or Noelle players in tears as they can't utilize their beloved characters.
The specific roster of enemy types and buffs that players will encounter on floor 12 of the Abyssal Domain in Genshin Impact 4.1 is as follows:
These adversaries have already appeared on the Genshin Impact 4.1 test server. They may undergo further modifications in the coming days as miHoYo releases updates for this server. Let's await to see whether they truly inflict suffering upon Geo players or not.
