To unlock the Echo of War, you mustdefeat the final boss of Jarilo-VI. During the“Dangerous Muddy Swamp” main mission, Welt will send you a message telling you the Stellaron has been dealt with. He will also inform you a strange phenomenon can be found north of Belobog.

After the conversation ends, you may finally access the Echo of War, and you can find their locations by opening yourInterastral Guideon the screen’s top right corner or in the main menu. Here are all of their positions:

HSR Doomsday Beast.

You can gain all sorts of loot by beating the boss in an Echo of War, but the primary drop you are aiming for is theTracelevel-up materials. Unfortunately, you are only giventhree chances each weekto gain these valuable items. You will also need to spend30 Trailblaze Powerevery time you enter an Echo of War.

HSR Destruction’s Beginning Echo of War Guide

The first Echo of War that you can challenge is Destruction’s Beginning. You must face the Doomsday Beast again, and this monster will become more deadly as you unlock harder difficulties.

Best Team Comps

According to the game, the Doomsday Beast is weak againstPhysical, Fire, Ice,andWindtypes. I highly recommend bringingFireelementunits because all enemies in this battle are weak against this type.

Here is the best F2P team comp that you may bring to beat this boss:

Since you can add Support Units from other players in the Echo of War, you definitely should consider borrowing one. You don’t have to be friends to use a Support Character, and you can refresh the list until you find the unit you want to use.

I suggestpicking Himekoas your Support. She is a great Fire unit who can deal a ton of damage, and herfollow-up attackscan also give you extra hits.

HSR Destruction’s Beginning Echo of War

Here’s another great team comp you can deploy:

How to Beat Doomsday Beast

Defeating the Doomsday Beast is fairly straightforward. You just need todeplete the enemies’ Toughness barsusing Fire elements. Once all of its body parts are destroyed, the boss will becomevulnerable, and you can freely hit its main body.

After you deplete the boss’ first health bar, the second phase will start. This is when the Doomsday Beast will unleash an AoE move,Impending Doom, which can take a chunk out of your units’ HPs. Although you may be tempted to bring a team full of damage dealers, you should always have one healer on your team.

In the second phase, you must destroy the boss’ hands and the Anti-Matter Engine again. When the Doomsday Beast becomes vulnerable, you can unleash your full power to finally kill the monster.

HSR End of the Eternal Freeze Echo of War Guide

At the End of the Eternal Freeze Echo of War, you must face Cocolia, Mother of Deception. Similar to the boss battle in the main story, you will also gain the help of the Engine of Creation.

Cocolia, Mother of Deception, is weak againstFire, Lightning,andQuantumtypes. Here’s the best F2P team comp you can use:

Phantylia the Undying boss in HSR.

You can also borrowSeelefrom another player because she can make this battle a walk in the park. Here’s the team you can deploy:

I recommend bringingAstaand Fire Trailblazer during this fight since the two units are great supports. Asta’s ultimate move can increase all allies’ speed for two turns, while the Trailblazer can taunt enemies and provide decent damage.

How to Beat Cocolia, Mother of Deception

At the start of the fight, Cocolia will be alone, and you can focus all of your attacks on her. However, she will soon call forthtwo Lances of Eternal Freezethat can hit you with Ice elements. You can destroy the Lances by slowly reducing their HPs, or you canuse the Engine of Creationto destroy them instantly and deal massive damage to Cocolia.

Your biggest concern during this battle is theLast Choir of Genesis, which is an AoE move that can take a chunk out of your team’s health. This attack will only occur in the second phase, and Cocolia will be holding a ball of golden light while she is powering up.

The only way for you to stop her is todeplete her Toughness barcompletely. You must use your units’ skills to increase your damage and deploy the Engine of Creation.

Try not to use the Preservation Creation’s Warth as soon as it becomes available. The best moments to unleash it are when the Lances of Eternal Freeze are in the arena or when Cocolia is about to perform her AoE attack.

Here’s the list of all loot you can receive from defeating Cocolia:

HSR Divine Seed Echo of War Guide

After unlocking the Scalegorge Waterscape area in The Xianzhou Luofu, you will face Phantylia the Undying, who has absorbed the power of Abundance. She’s quite a tough boss to beat due to her Lotus pawns, who love to get in your way.

Phantylia the Undying is weak againstImaginary, Lightning, and Wind elements. Luckily, there are some good F2P characters you can bring into this battle:

On the other hand, you can also borrow five-star units from other players to help you.Luochais a great support to borrow since he can deal damage and heal your team.Bladeis another great option as a main DPS, but you must have a good healer since he is a bit of a glass cannon. Here is the best team you can use if you have these five-star characters:

How to Beat Phantylia the Undying

Phantylia the Undying has three phases, and she will summon several Lotus enemies that will hinder you during battle. The Golden Lotus willabsorb your Skill Points, while the Purple Lotus willdebuff your units and reduce their max HP.

Although you can remove the Prana-Siphon by healing the character, the Purple Lotus will inflict the same debuff on its next turn. I recommend ignoring the status ailments andfocusing on attacking Phantylia. If you struggle to survive, I suggestupgrading your headgear and Light Conesto raise your max HP.

During the battle, you cancall the Imbibitor Lunae and use the Cloudhymn Roarto land massive damage on Phantylia and destroy her Lotus pawns. Although it is possible to temporarily remove the Lotus enemies from battle, Phantylia will summon more pawns after several turns. In the third phase, there will be four Lotus in the arena, with two Golden and two Purple.
