V2.1 Guide: Entity Illusion - Battle Strategy & Item Guide

493 View2025-04-17

Dear Inheritors,
The new v2.1 game mode "Entity Illusion" is receiving rave reviews! Have you all embarked on the challenge yet?

Today's Audhum's Guide will delve into this fresh content from three perspectives: gameplay system, item, and farming tips, aiming to provide strategic suggestions for your journey. May this guide help you secure the high quality Yellow Signs and boost your Power! 💫

PART 1: Gameplay

Entity Illusion can be summarized as a cyclical challenge system:
★Use a Key → Complete a battle → Get the Key for the Next Level → Repeat★

During the cycle, entering a challenge requires meeting a Willpower threshold, which can be increased by collecting Thought Amulet.

Yellow Signs are the ultimate pursuit in this gameplay, as this gear's stats apply across all game modes. They also have a chance to contain rare and powerful affixes, helping Inheritors boost both Power and damage.

PART 2: Items

Silver Keys serve as tickets to the Entity Illusion and come in two types:

✦ Solo Tickets: Usable only by yourself; have a chance to drop a key for the next level.
✦ Co-op Tickets: You can invite up to two friends to join. Only the host’s ticket is consumed, and no tickets drop in this mode.

Also, if you fail the challenge, don't worry—the ticket is returned to the Inheritor who didn't complete it.

PART 3: Suggestions

1. Low-Tier levels Farming Tips

Since the ticket drop to the next level is probability-based, it's common to experience ticket shortages around level 3 or 4. This means you’ll need to frequently farm low-tier levels. Solo tickets often require defeating many small mobs, so here are a few ways to improve combat efficiency:

Enemy Gathering Skills or Soul Cores:
Using enemy gathering skills significantly increases efficiency at low levels.
▶ For example, the Devil Lord’s light weapon skill "Soul Reaping Rift."

▶ If you're playing another class without enemy gathering skills, you can use Soul Cores for the same effect; like the “Jormungand. the Mortal Snake” Soul Core. Since Soul Cores don’t provide Willpower and early levels aren’t damage-demanding, you can equip this Soul Core in the first skill or light weapon breaking slot without worrying too much about cultivation.

Ultra:
Low-tier mobs can usually be cleared from a single Ultra skill, so increasing Ultra frequency boosts farming speed.
▶ Watch for dropped gear with affixes like "Reduced Ultra Energy Requirement", "Faster Ultra Charge", or "Increased Ultra Damage".
▶ Use the Affinity: Audhum + Surtr (level 4). This Affinity allows you to release two Ultras at the beginning of the battle, clearing mobs instantly.
On certain levels, elite mobs turn into hamster balls to assist you after defeat—consider prioritizing them.

2. High-Tier Level Tips

Remodel Sign Affixes:
The higher the level, the lower the chance to drop the next level’s key. Once you get a high-tier solo ticket (Stage 5+ recommended), consider remodeling its affixes:
▶ Go to the main gameplay screen (green interface with keyhole), tap the bottom-left icon to open the Silver Key inventory. Select a Silver Key, then click REMODEL’ to consume Yellow Signs and remodel affixes.

▶ For solo tickets, prioritize affixes that boost Silver Key drops.
▶ If you have a lot of Yellow Signs, you can remodel them for key drop affixes. Once the remodel result is good, use Infusion to enhance affixes values using shards gained from dismantling Amulets.

3. Team Challenge Tips

Since co-op tickets can't drop tickets to the next level, consider refining affixes of Yellow Signs or Thought Amulet drops instead.

If your Willpower is low and you can’t enter mid-to-high level stages, focus on refining the Amulet affixes.
If your Willpower is decent, refine Yellow Sign drop affixes more.

Extra Tips:

If you have enough Amulet shards, max out your affix values.
Since only the host consumes the ticket, consider each player of the 3 provide the ticket rotately to maximize efficiency—or even use alt accounts to provide tickets and farm faster.

PART 4: Yellow Signs – Efficient Power & Damage Cultivation

1. Collecting Yellow Signs

Early stage, use Epic (purple) Yellow Signs as temporary choice.
Affixes Priority: Focus on DMG and Final DMG. If your Crit Rate isn’t at 100%, put priority on Crit Rate too.
Goal: Primal Yellow Signs can contain the best affixes—Skill Damage Increase—which should be your primary collection target.
Tip: Some affixes have negative values (like resistance or elemental damage). These stats are naturally high, so a slight decrease won’t hurt your power much.

2. Yellow Sign Synthesis

Be cautious when Yellow Sign Synthesises. Synthesis only re-combines existing affixes—it doesn’t generate new ones.
Note: Both parent Signs need to have good affixes. Synthesis carries risk, so keep a backup usable Sign in case the result isn't ideal, or your power might be affected.
