The mode itself takes place in a number of arenas, starting with ten of them at level 70 and increasing in difficulty with each level.
Metaphors
Your first arena will always be a single encounter area where you'll face a few easy enemiesAnd when they fail, you can interact with the white cat and choose one of three metaphors.
Metaphors are rogue mechanics. On-the-fly upgrades that not only give you improved stats. All of them also exist in one of the four elements, each of which appeals to different aspects of your personality:
element |
effect |
Description |
---|---|---|
Aero |
Concerto/introduction skill improvement and cool down |
Fans are designed to enhance concert and preparatory skillsEspecially when you have one or more summonable teammates. The higher their level, the stronger or more varied the effect. There are some that reduce your abilities. |
Electro |
Improve resonance ability |
Electro enthusiasts are all about improving your resonance and liberation skillswhether that's increasing their damage, adding effects to them, or reducing their cooldowns. |
fusion |
Damage buff across Crit Rate/Damage/Atk |
Fusion enthusiasts are very simple. They are designed to increase your damage output Somehow, whether by increasing your crit damage, rate, or attack stat. |
Glacio |
Shield Application/HP Buffs |
Glacio lovers are some of the easiest, Providing and improving the effects of shields and increasing your health and resistance to damage in other ways. |
Which nutrient to choose depends on two factors: The character you use in Depths of Illusive Realm and the echo you chose At the beginning of the activity
between the two, Echo improvement is probably more importantbecause their effects can make or break a performance. If you collect enough of either special element, you'll probably be interested enough to make most fights a cakewalk.
If you come across a metaphor that doesn't fit your current echo but would significantly improve your build, Don't be afraid to remove it. This is especially true of the tier three metaphor which increases both crit rate and damage.
How to defeat the depths of the illusion realm
Beating the Depths of the Illusive Realm is a matter of skill, stamina and a bit of luck. As a rogue mode, the metaphors, echoes, and cues you can pick up are random, so you don't feel overwhelmed on every playthrough. However, there are some basic strategies you can use to be more successful.
- Always select Bridged Dreamscape when it appears. You can add a support character to your roster by completing the inner single, and these are invaluable on higher difficulties.
- Choose an echo that is synergistic with your personality. Equipping Bell-Borne Geochelone on Shorekeeper, for example, can make him nearly invulnerable with enough investment.
- if possible, Select Memory of a Fierce Struggle Having multiple arenas and thus, multiple metaphor choices per room.
- Spend your dream chunks wisely. Whenever you meet the Ebony Gatekeeper, first spend your currency on Echo-specific upgrades, then complete your build with whatever is appropriate.
most importantly, Upgrade the Thought Evolution bar. Each run in Depths of the Illusive Realm grants memory points, and spending them on Thought Evolution nodes instantly and permanently buffs your character (for the current cycle, anyway). These health and damage buffs increase Crit Rate and provide additional bonuses that make even the hardest difficulty level 100 easier.
Do not be afraid of failure
. If your characters aren't quite as good in build, or you perform poorly with worse RNG, you'll still receive memory points to improve your performance. Spend in Depths of Illusive Realm.
Do not forget this You don't have to try the highest difficulty available. And there is nothing wrong with using Trial characters for higher difficulties. You'll still get cool points and samples for participating or completing easy stages that you can eventually spend to tackle harder content.
Finally, Depths of the Illusive Realm will test your fundamentals with every character on your roster. Dodge, parry and ability use are all put to the test here, enhanced by the extra powers provided by Metaphors.

- Asterite and currencies Obtained by spending Illusive Sacimen in the inactive Illusive Store.

The number of modifiers you add depends on your goal for the run. If all you care about is completing it as quickly and easily as possible, load up Reverie Memes And by the way, if you want a real challenge and rewards to match, you can turn Depths of Illusive Realm into a real meat grinder.
