Honkai Star Rail Apocalyptic Shadow release patch

Honkai Star Rail Apocalyptic Shadow will be available in version 2.3. At the time of writing, the release date of this patch is unknown, but if we consider the usual 6-week cycle, it should arrive somewhere towards the end of June 2024.

In Apocalyptic Shadow, all Trailblazers will face the Finality and more powerful versions of foes that have faced previously. You can find all the information surrounding these foes right before entering a battle.

These battles will challenge you in a variety of ways. Successful clears will reward you with 720 Stellar Jades. Apocalyptic Shadow will be available in rotation alongside Memory of Chaos and Pure Fiction.

Honkai Star Rail Team Function optimization

Honkai Star Rail will introduce a brand new Team Function optimization feature that’ll be available for Apocalyptic Shadow, Memory of Chaos, and Pure Fiction. This new feature will allow you to save teams beforehand.

Once you begin any of the activities mentioned above, you will be able to bring any of the preset teams and jump into battle directly. You will also be able to drag and drop characters across both nodes, thereby enabling last-minute changes to your teams.

Honkai Star Rail friends’ team setup system

Honkai Star Rail will also introduce a new system where you will be able to check your friends’ team setups for Memory of Chaos and Pure Fiction. This feature will be introduced in version 2.2 itself.

With future updates, you’ll be able to check the Relics, Light Cones, and stats of your friends as well. This will help you to get ideas in case you are struggling with the end-game content, thereby saving time you may have wasted researching teams.
