HSR Endgame Modes

How each mode is scored, when it rotates, and every version of clears submitted for it.

Currently live

Apocalyptic Shadow, day 1 of 14.

Next up: Pure Fiction on Sep 14.

Anomaly Arbitration refreshes with each version release.

Memory of Chaos

The final floor breaks into nodes, each needing its own team, and your score is the total cycles all of them take. Fewer is better. Enemies are mostly elites and bosses, which favors single-target damage over wide coverage. One Memory Turbulence modifier applies across every stage in a rotation, and it changes when the stage does.

Pure Fiction

Enemies arrive in waves that keep respawning, and points come from how many you kill. The more you clear, the higher the score. Area damage and energy regeneration matter more than single-target burst. Two modifiers rotate together: Whimsicality is a global passive that runs for the whole fight, and Cacophony is a set of selectable passives you pick while building the team.

Apocalyptic Shadow

Each stage is a phased boss fight rather than a mob clear. Points come from Action Value, so ending the fight in fewer actions scores higher. Break effect and weakness matching matter more here than raw damage. The buff system is Finality's Axiom.

Anomaly Arbitration

One floor, four nodes. Three are Knight nodes, and each needs its own team with no character shared between them. The fourth is the King node, which stays heavily empowered until the Knights are cleared. Every Knight node carries a debuff. The King node stacks several of those together and gives you a selectable Arbitral Quadrant buff to offset them. Stars come from clearing inside a turn limit, so fewer turns is better.

Starward Mode

Since version 4.3, Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, and Apocalyptic Shadow each add a third node to their final floor. That means three full teams instead of two.
