The section below details the Honkai Star Rail 3.2 Apocalyptic Shadow stage buffs:
Trending
- Ruinous Embers (Stays active in all four stages): When the adversaries affected by “Steadfast Safeguard” are inflicted with the Weakness Break status effect, all allies’ control state disappears, and they immediately take action and regenerate HP.

The best team compositions for Honkai Star Rail 3.2 Apocalyptic Shadow, Warlord of the Locusts are:
Node One
The Herta, Sunday, Aventurine, and Jade
This The Herta dual-DPS team will help you secure three stars in every Honkai Star Rail 3.2 Apocalyptic Shadow Stage. Since the boss of the first node features a unique mechanic that allows them to enhance their summons, you’ll need characters that can deal AoE (Area of Effect) damage. Since both The Herta and Jade tread on the Erudition Path, they specialize in that field.
Hence, you can easily defeat the summons while dealing damage to the Boss Mirage. Other than the DPS, Sunday grants buffs to The Herta and Aventurine uses his Skill to bestow shields to his allies. Before starting the challenge, make sure you select the “Knowledge and Decorum” buff.
Luocha, Mydei, Tribbie, and Sunday
If you don't have access to The Herta or Jade, then this Mydei Hypercarry team is a great alternative. Although the DPS unit treads on the Destruction Path, he can easily deal AoE damage and defeat the Boss Mirage’s summons.
Like most Hypercarry teams, Tribbie and Sunday boost Mydei’s outgoing damage by granting him various buffs. Luocha will be focusing on healing all of his teammates, especially Mydei, to make sure he stays healthy. If you do not own Luocha, you can use Gallagher. Lastly, choose the “No Turning Back” buff if you use this team.
Node Two
Castorice, Gallagher, Tribbie, and Remembrance Trailblazer
When tackling Node Two of every stage, you have to face a unique mechanic, “Going Solo.” When this mechanic starts, you must choose one of your characters to engage in a 1v1 fight against Hoolay. As you’ll need to defeat several Wolftroopers, this Castorice Hypercarry team is the best.
Since you will get extra benefits if the character you choose has a summon/Memosprite when entering “Going Solo,” you will get an advantage in Action Count. This is why Castorice is the perfect unit for this Node. Both Tribbie and RTB will grant the DPS character buffs while Gallagher makes sure everyone has enough HP. If you are thinking of using this team to defeat Fulminating Wolflord, select the “Withered Tree’s Revival” buff for best results.
Feixiao, Topaz, Gallagher, and Robin
Since the Boss Mirage of the second Node, Fulminating Wolflord, is vulnerable to Wind and Fire elements, you should use this FUA team featuring Feixiao and Topaz. The aforementioned characters can deal an exceptional amount of damage with their abilities, especially with their follow-up attacks. Moreover, both of them can easily work together and defeat several Wolftroopers to get enhancements before entering “Going Solo.”
We have paired both DPS units with Robin, as he is the best buffer for characters specializing in the FUA playstyle. Lastly, Gallagher heals all units in this team. The “Pursue and Eliminate” buff is also extremely effective with the follow-up attack characters; hence, choose it before starting the challenge.
