Honkai: Star Rail Unveils Top Characters for Apocalyptic Shadow

Honkai: Star Rail's Apocalyptic Shadow Mode: Top Performing Characters Revealed

A new Honkai: Star Rail chart highlights the most frequently used characters in the challenging Apocalyptic Shadow mode, a recent addition to the game similar to Pure Fiction and Forgotten Hall. This mode demands strategic team building due to powerful enemies and specific character requirements.

Apocalyptic Shadow, accessible after completing the "Grim Film of Finality" mission in Penacony's Dreamflux Reef, offers rewards including Xueyi (currently). The mode's enemy roster and balance will be updated in future versions.

A Reddit user, LvlUrArti, shared a chart showcasing the top characters. Dominating the five-star category is Ruan Mei with a staggering 89.31% usage rate. Close behind are Acheron (74.79%), Firefly (58.49%), and Fu Xuan (56.75%).

Top Five-Star Characters:

• Ruan Mei (89.31%)
• Acheron (74.79%)
• Firefly (58.49%)
• Fu Xuan (56.75%)

Top Four-Star Characters:

Gallagher leads the four-star pack with a 65.14% usage rate, followed by Pela at 37.74%. Other notable four-star performers include Xueyi and Sushang.

The highest-performing team identified in the chart utilizes Firefly, Ruan Mei, the Trailblazer, and Gallagher.

Looking ahead, a leak suggests version 2.5 will introduce a formidable new boss, Phantylia the Undying (from Xianzhou Lufou), to Apocalyptic Shadow. This three-phase boss employs various damage types (Wind, Lightning, and Imaginary) and summons challenging lotus enemies.

Completing Apocalyptic Shadow rewards players with valuable in-game resources like Stellar Jades, Refined Aether, and materials used for upgrading Light Cones and relics at the Manifest Shop.
