Ever since they saw her take Venti’s Gnosis and strut all over the poor bard as though he were a feeble tablecloth,Genshin Impactplayers have been anticipating La Signora’s reappearance. Well, she did rapper in Liyue but it wasn’t a substantial involvement. Thanks to update 2.1, the players finally got to see her in full glory and power— the top echelon of the Tsaritsa’s retinue flexing her might. Then she died shortly after.

Whoops, spoiler alert. But if one’s here perusing this page, chances are, they’ve already met her and are having a hard time with her. After all, the fight with Signora is a wild maelstrom of fire and ice. The same goes for her Weekly replayable boss version. Hence, some tips are to help nudge Signora out of the way inGenshin Impact. Maybe then, the Traveler will have time to find their missing sibling.
Updated June 12, 2025, by Sid Natividad:Signora’s death in Genshin Impact didn’t affect her popularity too negatively as her symphony of ice and fire lives on in the confines of Inazuma’s capital. There, players can duke it out once more against her as a weekly boss. That’s easier said than done since “how to defeat Signora” is quite the question. She’s only one of the most difficult bosses in the game. At high enough World Levels, she’ll easily melt away even the highest HP pools. Thus, a lot of players will surely appreciate some in-depth tips on how to beat Signora. Because Signora is powerful enough to defeat even old gods, players will need all the help they can get.
13Unlocking Signora
First up, players will have to get to Signora in order to fight her. It’s a lengthy process that requires several hours of effort in case players haven’t done the whole Inazuma main questline. She’s one of the bosses near the end of the questline. Even so, that fight will likely be easier compared to her weekly boss version because it’s part of the story.
Players must clear the following quest to get to her weekly boss version as well as her story version:
To unlock that questline, players will need to be:
Truth be told, the quest is hard to miss, and only returning players who have been on a long hiatus or recently new ones who have just reached Inazuma will need to follow those steps above. Even then, simply opening the quest menu and navigating to the quest markers should do the trick.
12Decrease The World Level To Defeat Her
Now, on to defeatingGenshin’sSignora. Most players will be blindsided about how exhausting and lethal the fight can be against this Fatui Harbinger. In some cases, it can even end up in a full party wipe. If that happens in a weekly boss challenge, then players might have to swallow their pride and lower the World Level.
This, in turn, will also lower the difficulty of the Signora boss fight, making her easier to defeat since the characters are overpowered at that point. If they want, players can also invite others into a co-op game so they can team up against Signora.
11Stock Up On Goulash
One of the most debilitating mechanics in the Signora boss fight is the sheer cold. This not only slows down the players but also deals damage to them. That status effect is actually one of the reasons why many players avoid visiting Dragonspine in Mondstadt or staying there too long.
Thankfully, there’s a good way to stave off the sheer cold. That would be through the spicy food,Goulash. It’s an easy enough recipe to cook and willprovide players some immunity from the sheer cold. This makes the first half of the Signora boss fight much easier as players don’t have to bother managing the sheer cold.
10Bring Cryo/Pyro Resistance Potions
If Goulash isn’t an option on the table or players can’t be bothered to cook, then they can craft some potions that increase their chance at survival. Those would be Cryo or Pyro Resistance Potions and they’re easily available in the crafting stations.
The materials needed for crafting them are also common enough. Players will just need one of each for every Signora boss fight. Thesepotions usually last for six minutes. Alternatively, they can utilize theProtective Canopy Elemental Resonancewhich provides a similar effect to resistance potions but against all elements but this will require a party with no duplicate elements which might ruin some compositions.
9Don’t Rely On A Single Pyro Or Cryo DPS Carry
It seems the developers are aware that the most prominent DPS carry characters right now are either Pyro or Cryo. So, they made a sensible choice and deemedSignora as both a Pyro andCryo user— take that META-slaves! She hasa Cryo phase and a Pyro phase. In any case, bringing just a Ganyu team, an Ayaka team, or a Hu Tao team is ill-advised.

Players have to rethink their team composition here.For a safer choice, they might want tobring Eula,or Beidou, or Xiaoinstead. Anything but a Pyro or Cryo DPS team. That or one could also bring a combined Cryo and Pyro carry team— assuming it’s viable.
8Use A Ranged Character For An Easier Fight
For safer measures, using a ranged character or DPS hyper-carry to fight Signora makes the battle more manageable. Most of Signora’s attacks are devastating melee Pyro swathes or slow but debilitating Cryo projectiles.
Aranged DPS, such asKlee, Ningguang, Ganyu, Yoimiya, or even Fischlwill do wonders in evading her attacks and also dealing damage at the same time. Just keep in mind thatPyro characters will need aCryo DPS carrybackup and vice versa.
7Use A Shielder
When learning the ropes of the Signora boss fights, some frustrating deaths due to a relentless barrage of attacks is often unavoidable. In order to save time, players will want to use a character that can give a shield. Two come to mind as the best shield-givers in the game.

The first one isZhongliwhose Jade Shield is nigh-unbreakable with the right build. It also decreases Signora’s resistance, making the fight quicker. The other one isDionawhose shield is second only to Zhongli’s.Noelleis another good option that can double as a DPS carry and healer. In any case, a shield makes the fight less difficult.
6Bring Healers Or Use NRE
Even though players brought their own shields, they’ll still want to bring dedicated healers. That’s how tough the fight can be, especially the weekly boss version. There are times whenSignora’s attack combos will break a fresh shieldand cannot be avoided due to bad camera angles or bad luck.
Healers provide another layer of safety and can give players confidence to be bold with their attacks.Dionaalso fits this role as she can also heal. Other healers are Bennett, Jean, or even Barbara who can double as support in quelling Signora’s flames.
5Use Crimson Lotus Moths To Break Her Out Of Her Ice Cocoon
After players whittle down Signora’sfirst HP bardown to a certain threshold, she’ll wrap herself around a Cryo cocoon. Players need to destroy this to advance to the Pyro phase. They can either resort to Pyro characters as those can destroy the Cryo cocoon quickly but that would leave them less optimal during the Pyro phase.

Otherelemental reactionsalso help but thankfully, players don’t even have to bring a Pyro character to destroy the ice cocoon.Crimson Lotus Moths fly around the arenaduring this moment andplayers can grabthem soinfuse their attacks with Pyro, thus easily destroying the ice cocoon.
4Run Away From Her Attacks After Dodging
Signora’s attacks mostly have wide areas of effect or leave around a lingering trip-mine that foolish players will trigger. That’s why it’s best to stay away from her attack range even after a successful dodge or evasion. Some ofSignora’sCryo attacks, for example, leave some Cryo lotusesthat will deal damage and slow down the players.
Meanwhile, some ofher Pyro attacks will leave behind large burning fissuresthat will deal continuous damage should players stand on them. The best bet is to keep moving after dodging these attacks. That can easily become a Stamina drain but players can simply jog away from the attack instead of evading depending on their calculation so as to save Stamina.
