Diving into Honkai Star Rail's Abyss Modes
Abyss 101: What's the Deal?
Picture this: MoC throws two teams at 12 floors, demanding 10-cycle clears for 800 SJ. PF? Waves of Grit-building mobs – snag 5 per kill, stack to 100 for a juicy 30-50% DMG boost, aiming for 600 JF. AS plays with boss cheese, like slamming Physical/Ice on the Sky-Shrouding Stardevourer.
Quick Rundown on MoC, PF, and AS
MoC hits hard with single-target bosses and Turbulence stacks (10 hits = True DMG explosion). PF ramps up: 8k HP Wave 1, 16k Waves 2-3; clear 40k per node for 1★, push to 12★ for 800 SJ + 600 JF. AS? Steadfast bosses take 50% less DMG pre-break, but you can shatter the Borisin Warhead Hoolay (Physical/Fire weak) on Stage 11 Node 1.
Why Bother with These Endgame Beasts?
Full clears spit out Self-Modeling Resin and Relic Remains – pure gold for progression. F2P players snag 36★ MoC in 3-6 months with Lv70+ relics. Roadmap: 1) Grind Daily Echo of War; 2) Mon-Wed for DPS relics, Thu-Fri supports; 3) Weekend Planar spheres.

F2P shine: Sushang (150% Skill/E6/134+ SPD); Gallagher (50% Break DMG on Besotted). Hit 36★ in 3-6mo? Weeks 1-4 TBL50, Months 2-3 Lv70+, Months 4-6 second team online.
Pure Fiction: Wave-Crushing Tactics
Team Picks, Wave by Wave

Resets Nov 24, 2025; 5 Energy per kill. v2.7+ Wave 1 demands 20 kills for 5% max HP DMG. Stages 1 (55 kills) to 4 (85); 60k scores = 3★. Flow: 1) Skills over Basics for Grit; 2) Ult spam on spawns; 3) Huohuo/Lynx scrub that CC.
Break Effect? Your Secret Weapon
Grit juices DoT by 30%. Iron Cavalry 4pc ignores DEF at 150%+ BE. Triple DoT bliss: Kafka/Black Swan/Hysilens (+30% Grit DoT). Tune for 100% CRIT; 24%/30% DEF/RES pen.

Apocalyptic Shadow: Boss-Breaking Deep Dive
Mechanics That'll Trip You Up
Instigation of Locusts runs Nov 10-Dec 22, 2025. Sky-Shrouding weak to Physical/Ice/Quantum/Imaginary. Opportunistic Provocateur? Fire/Lightning/Wind/Imaginary. Steadfast eats 50% less DMG pre-break. Super Break laughs at CRIT. Steps: 1) Prioritize breaks/summons; 2) %max HP post-break; 3) AoE the swarms.
Weaknesses and Dirty Exploits

Stage 11 Node 1: Shatter Hoolay against summons. Firefly amps basics; Feixiao Ult (100% break eff). Builds: Firefly/Harmony TB/Ruan Mei/Fugue (+15% at 250%+ BE). F2P Apoc 4: Harmony TB/Gallagher/Pela.

Builds and Tools You Can't Skip
Relics, LCs, Traces – Priority List

Pioneer Diver 4pc (+12% DMG on debuffed foes). Subs: CRIT Rate/DMG/Break Effect (+5.8 SPD)/Body HP%/ATK%/EHR 38.7%. F2P LCs: Dance! Dance! Dance!

Pitfalls That Wreck Runs
Skipping EHR in DoT teams. Sub-134 SPD? Kiss cycles goodbye. SP mismanagement. Dodge 'em: Balance BE/SPD; 4-6 chars (60% DPS/40% supp). F2P vs. premium? 85-90% output, 6.5-7.5 cycles vs. 4-6. (My take as an HSR vet: F2P holds up shockingly well with smart farms.)
