Apocalyptic Shadow: “Dominance of Netherveil”
Three days post-launch, face formidable bosses testing your teams:
Node 1: The Ravaged Unconquerable
Node 2: Hellcharred Shadow General
These encounters favor Physical and Fire damage—perfect for new character Yao Guang. Check our HSR boss counter guide for optimal teams.
Pure Fiction Rotation Strategy
Pure Fiction shifts focus to AoE damage with multi-wave enemy swarms. Expect enemies like Furbo Journalist, Fictional Ensemble, and Security Doggo across both nodes.
Pro tip: Characters with follow-up attacks and break mechanics shine here. Our best break DPS tier list identifies top performers for maximum clear efficiency.
Memory of Chaos Floor Details
The 12-stage gauntlet returns mid-patch. Use “Quick Clear” for previously three-starred floors 1-10, saving time for new Planarcadia content.
Maximizing Your Stellar Jade Income
Each mode offers 60 Stellar Jade per star (80 for higher insignias in Apocalyptic Shadow). With six total resets across all three modes in Version 4.0, that’s potentially 1,920+ Stellar Jade from endgame alone.
Planning your pulls for Yao Guang or Sparxie? Factor these rewards into your Stellar Jade budget calculator to avoid missing limited characters.
What Makes Version 4.0 Different?
Version 4.0 extends to six weeks instead of the usual 42 days, offering one extra rotation for Pure Fiction and Memory of Chaos—bonus Stellar Jade for dedicated players!

FAQs
Q: Can I use the same team across all three endgame modes in 4.0?
While possible, each mode favors different mechanics—Apocalyptic Shadow rewards boss damage, Pure Fiction needs AoE, and Memory of Chaos requires balanced adaptability.
Q: Do endgame resets carry over unused attempts from previous versions?
No, all progress resets completely when modes refresh. Unclaimed rewards and stars earned expire, so always complete runs before reset deadlines.
