How to Beat Depths of Illusive Realm 3
Best Character Build
Character and Echo Combination
| Best Character | Best Echo |
|---|---|
| Baizhi | Inferno Rider |
Character Upgrades
| Upgrade | Description |
|---|---|
| Efficiency Superimposition | Resonance Skill |
| Threshold Response | Forte Circuit |
| Variable Substitution | Resonance Liberation |
You'll always have 3 Character Upgrades every run, and you can get more if you go through a Memory of Training door.
The idea for this build is that we'll want Baizhi to generate as many Silver Awls as possible so that we can maximize the amount of hits she does. This will make Inferno Rider and her on-hit Metaphors constantly proc, especially when combined with coordinated attacks.
Best Metaphors
Concerto Characters
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
| MortefiFirst | ・Mortefi will help carry your low damage output early game, and his coordinated attacks will also contribute to activating on-hit effects for Metaphors and Inferno Rider. ・You'll always want your first Concerto Character pick to synergize with your Echo, so Mortefi is a perfect first choice. |
| VerinaSecond | ・Verina's Ultimate also provides coordinated attacks, although they're not as good as Mortefi's since his proc's twice as much as Verina's. ・She's also the only healer at the moment, making her very useful in case you get low on health. |
Regular Metaphors
| Metaphor | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Scorching Sun in the Forest
| This is the most important Metaphor for this build since you'll be constantly hitting targets and activating its 800% ATK Meteor. When combined with Silver Awls and Mortefi's coordinated attacks, you'll be sending down Meteors non-stop. |
| + Attack Speed Metaphors | Since you'll be relying on a lot of hits from your Silver Awls, you'll want to increase your Basic Attack Speed for more hits per second. Some examples of Metaphors that give increased Attack Speed are a Lightweight Sabre and Nut. |
| Patterned Nut
| Again, since you're relying on your Resonance Skill and Liberation for your damage output, you'll want this upgrade to reduce their cooldown after a Basic Attack hits. Pair this with other Resonance Cooldown Metaphors for a 100% uptime on those abilities. |
The general idea of these Metaphors is that you'll be playing around Baizhi's multiple hits, so you'll want Metaphors that complement this playstyle. Besides the Metaphors mentioned above, you'll also be looking for +ATK and on-hit Metaphors, alongside any Metaphor that adds to Inferno Biker's ability upgrades.
Experiment With Your Own Playstyle
This is just a general guide that can help most players beat Difficulty 3 of the Depths of Illusive Realm. Since this is a rogue-lite game mode, there may be other builds that are stronger or better suited to your playstyle.

Best Echoes to Use for Depths of Illusive Realm 3
Best Echoes for Trial Characters
| Trial Character | Recommended Echo |
|---|---|
| Jiyan | Bell-Borne Geochelone ・Bell-Borne Geochelone's second ability generates Resonance Energy, allowing Jiyan to use his Ultimate more often. |
| Baizhi | Inferno Rider ・Fusion Metaphors also allow Baizhi to increase her very low attack speed. |
Best Echoes by Playstyle
| Offensive | Defensive | Mix of Both |
|---|---|---|
| Inferno Rider | Bell-Borne Geochelone | Crownless |
Inferno Rider Has Insane Damage Output
Since Inferno Rider needs a lot of Fusion Metaphors, your character's damage output will skyrocket the more of them you get. When paired with characters with multiple hits and high attack speeds, you can easily decimate any enemy or boss that you face.
Just be careful since Inferno Rider is more of a glass cannon Echo, and you'll be extremely squishy if you don't have any Glacio Metaphors.
Bell-Borne Geochelone Gives Near Infinite Survivability
The main draw of Bell-Borne Geochelone is that you'll get multiple ways to gain shields, making you nearly impossible to take down when combined with its freezing effect at higher ability levels.
Bell-Borne also provides strong damage output when stacked with Glacio Metaphors, but it doesn't match the DPS of Inferno Rider or Crownless builds.
Crownless Provides a Strong Mix of Offense and Defense
Crownless lends itself to a mixture of both playstyles. Once you're in the Crownless state, you will deal massive amounts of damage while also taking next to no damage since your chosen Resonator isn't the one tanking the hits.
The main downside, however, is that you're extremely reliant on getting Crown Power to Shapeshift into Crownless, and you're not as strong as the other Echo builds while you're using your selected Resonator.
