Summary
- Honkai: Star Rail leak reveals Doomsday Beast and Kafka as new bosses in Apocalyptic Shadow mode.
- Apocalyptic Shadow mode challenges players with formidable enemies and offers rewards for defeating them.
- Version 2.4 will bring harder challenges and new characters like Yunli and Jiaoqiu to Honkai: Star Rail.
A recent Honkai: Star Rail leak has revealed two new bosses, Doomsday Beast and Kafka, that will allegedly appear in the Apocalyptic Shadow mode. Honkai: Star Rail's Apocalyptic Shadow is where players take on formidable enemies, including boss versions of characters, to collect rewards. As in Pure Fiction and Memory of Chaos, stages and enemies in this combat mode are regularly updated. When players reach specific points in Apocalyptic Shadow by clearing foes, they receive additional rewards.
The purpose of Honkai: Star Rail's Apocalyptic Shadow is to give a real combat challenge against formidable enemies. It requires players to build well-rounded teams to reach the final stage and beat the entire enemy lineup. The mode hosts a variety of bosses, each having additional attacks and abilities. After defeating bosses that have powerful traits, players can unlock rewards like Stellar Jades, Self-Modeling Resins, and a free copy of Xueyi.
Honkai: Star Rail Leaks Lingsha Kit Details
A recent Honkai: Star Rail leak provides details about Lingsha, one of the new characters that will allegedly become playable later this year.
A recent Honkai: Star Rail leak from HomDGCat showed two new bosses, Doomsday Beast and Kafka, that will allegedly arrive in the Apocalyptic Shadow mode soon. It's safe to assume that these bosses will be more powerful than their regular versions players have encountered in Herta Space Station and Xianzhou Lufou regions. According to the leak, they will appear in Apocalyptic Shadow in Honkai: Star Rail's version 2.4, which will launch later this month.
Honkai: Star Rail New Apocalyptic Shadow Bosses
- Doomsday Beast: Starbane Doombringer
- Kafka: Soulhook Sovereign
Players can expect Doomsday Beast: Starbane Doombringer and Kafka: Soulhook Sovereign to have additional attacks and abilities, like other bosses in the Apocalyptic Shadow mode. Some Honkai: Star Rail fans on Reddit think the reason Huohuo is getting a rerun in version 2.4 is so they can use her to invalidate Kafka's mechanics.
Honkai: Star Rail's Apocalyptic Shadow features various stages, where Trailblazers go up against formidable bosses. Each stage comes with an Action Value Timer, which is used to calculate how many points will be given at the end of the battle. As players collect more points from battles, they receive additional rewards in Apocalyptic Shadow. If early leaks are accurate, the mode will be a bit harder to complete in version 2.4.
Aside from changes to gameplay modes, Honkai: Star Rail will introduce new characters in version 2.4 later this month. Yunli and Jiaoqiu will appear in different phases of the upcoming version. Huohuo and Black Swan will also be featured on rerun banners. Every detail about the update 2.4 will be revealed on July 19.
