Azhdaha infuses the first element, either or , when he reaches 75% HP. He infuses a second element, either or , upon reaching 45% HP. Damage dealt by Azhdaha will be converted to the respective elemental damage after triggering Elemental Infusion. After the second element is absorbed, all damage done by Azhdaha is considered elemental damage and will mark the current character until the element is dispelled.
The elemental combination can be seen on the seal of the domain, and the element color will also be reflected on several of his body parts, such as his paws for the first element and his tail for the second element.

==Abilities==
Most ability names are unofficial.
===Phase 1: Geo Element===
===Phase 2: Single Elemental Infusion===
Azhdaha can still use any ability from Phase 1. These Phase 1 abilities will be infused with the current infused Element.
===Phase 3: Dual Elemental Infusion===
Azhdaha can still use any ability from Phases 1 and 2. These Phase 1 or 2 abilities will be infused with the corresponding elements.
==Strategy==
Before entering the Trounce Domain, players should check the two symbols on the entrance and assemble their party accordingly, as Azhdaha will infuse himself with the elements corresponding to those sigils and gain high resistances to them. See Elements for each elemental symbol.
In all phases, it is advisable to attack him from the front or the back, but never from the side. Attacking from the side triggers the sideways Body Slam attack, which has a large AoE and cannot be countered by sprinting i-frame.
In phases 2 and 3, unless protected by a shield it is not advised to utilize Elemental Burst i-frames to avoid damage, as the effects of the Ley Line Disorder will still apply on hit even if the player is in an Elemental Burst animation.
===Character Recommendations===
* Characters that can create shields, while not essential, are extremely helpful to have in this fight, as it will prevent the highly lethal elemental mark from being applied.
* Healers are an effective means of improving survivability.
* Due to the high DMG of many of Azhdaha's attacks, it is still important to avoid as many of Azhdaha's attacks as possible even with shields and healing.
* Characters with abilities with large hitboxes can deal extended damage thanks to his massive body.
* In general, Bow and Catalyst users are safe for dealing damage at a distance.
* As Azhdaha gains Elemental RES to his infused Elements (including his innate Geo RES), using damage dealers of other elements can avoid prolonging the fight. characters equipped with the 4 piece Viridescent Venerer artifact set, or talents that decrease enemy Elemental RES such as Zhongli's Dominus Lapidis can also help counter the increased Elemental RES.
* and characters can completely ignore Azhdaha's resistances gained from phase transformations due to him never infusing Anemo or Dendro.
* Triggering certain elemental reactions on the character can completely remove the elemental mark without generating a shield. Anemo can remove all of the elemental marks, Electro can remove the Cryo mark, Pyro can remove the Hydro, Cryo, and Electro marks, and Hydro can remove the Pyro and Cryo marks.
* Fast runners, such as tall male characters and characters with access to Alternate Sprints may be helpful against Azhdaha's AoE attack spams.

==Trivia==
* Surrounding the "arena" where Azhdaha is sealed, and around the forcefield that Azhdaha breaks out of when combat begins, stand a large number of Stone Steles, which have the same markings as those created by Zhongli's Elemental Skill. Unlike those other Steles, the ones surrounding the arena no longer seem to be functioning and show signs of heavy erosion, some having to be held up by chains.
* The element symbols marked on the entrance are written in the Liyue script, based on the Chinese characters for each element.
** These symbols are also used as particle effects in his infused states.
* The boss fight was originally supposed to have all 12 possible combinations of Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, and Electro, but this was dropped during development because it was too challenging in terms of the color schemes, special effects, and processing power.
