Starward Mode arrives in Apocalyptic Shadow

hoyolab.com

June 7, 2026 · Apocalyptic Shadow’s new Starward Mode went live today: three fights against Flame Reaver, Ichor and Cocolia, demanding three full teams where the mode used to ask for two.

Reddit

  1. How's the new Starward Mode for you, guys?

    Most players who are struggling blame not having three built teams rather than the difficulty.

  2. PSA: APOC Flame Reaver was not made with Seele’s Novaflare in mind and it really shows
  3. Spend a Golden Companion Spirit on Huohuo?

    With the new mode asking for three teams, the thread’s verdict is yes. Huohuo comfortably sustained OP's Acheron-Blade team, and several posters rate her over Bailu or Gallagher for that third healer.

  4. Did Apocalyptic Shadow actually get harder?

    Most read the difficulty spike as a deliberate counter-meta rotation rather than raw inflation, and the workarounds come fast: the OG Silver Wolf makes Cocolia trivial for physical characters, a breaker like DHPT melts Ichor, and the tougher fights mostly punish anyone who won’t rotate off their comfort teams.

HoYo showed Mortenax Blade’s kit; must-pull for Acheron, Feixiao, Ashveil

youtube.com

May 27, 2026 · Blade completely replaces E2 Silver Wolf, Jiaoqiu or Cipher for Acheron and together with Ashveil, creates the strongest wheelchair of HSR 4.x so far. Triple DPS with Feixiao, highly usable with DoT, good everywhere sustainless.

Twitter

  1. @mrpokke

    ”Overall: 11/10 for Acheron mains. 8/10 wheelchair. Potential/10 for a new v4 non-Elation main DPS.”

  2. @herman_deal_

    ”Acheron vs Lygus: cost 3+5, Nikador: cost 2+5, Kafka, 40% RES: cost 3+5, Calamity: cost 3+5, King Pom-Pom: cost 3+5 BP, Flame Reaver: cost 4+3, Himeko: 3+5 BP.”

  3. @herman_deal_

    ”Update on best matchups for DoTs in sustainless 0 cycle. Mortenax can be used in Welt E4 teams if you’re not interested in low cost; it’s one of the best sustainless options in terms of comfort.”

  4. @kazjire

    FuA’s vertical investment chart: Blade’s E2 is a +48% increase, Ashveil’s E1 is +21%

  5. @nedgob

    ”people complaining about ashveil getting ‘gutted’ as if blade and him aren’t going to be one of the strongest cores”

  6. @theverlee

    ”the concept of never having to pull another nihility cone bc you have cipher’s s1”

YouTube

  1. Acheron + Blade

    E0S0 Acheron 1 cycles MoC 4.3 with a sustain

  2. Feixiao + Blade

    E0S0 Feixiao 1 cycles MoC 4.3 with Ashveil, Hyacine. No fully synergistic sustain.

  3. The Herta + Blade

    Blade and Tribbie clear in 150 AV; Anaxa and Tribbie in 170

  4. DoT + Blade

    A 7 cost 0 cycle on MoC 4.2’s King Pom-Pom: E1S0 Hysilens, E1S0 BS, E1S0 Kafka, E0S0 Blade. Note: DoT clears starting to get more expensive.

  5. Evanescia + Blade

    Also worth noting: the Blade + Welt duo gives Evanescia a 75% ult amp when your EMC is tied up elsewhere

  6. Castorice: Blade vs Cyrene

    Both Cyrene and Blade clear in 130 AV but the more vertical you have on the team, the bigger the gap in favor of Cyrene is

  7. Castorice: Blade vs Evernight

    Evernight clears in 130 AV, Blade in 196

  8. E2 Evernight: Blade vs Cyrene

    Blade and RMC clear in 102 AV; Cyrene and RMC in 111; Blade and Cyrene in 135. Keep in mind E2 Evernight is less reliant on Cyrene; E0 won’t perform like this.
