To obtain Xueyi for free, players must complete Apocalyptic Shadow’s Difficulty 2 for the first time. This means players will need to assemble two teams to take on the two boss projections featured in the mode. Each boss projection offers four challenge difficulties, with Difficulty 2 being the key to unlocking Xueyi.

Before each battle, players can view the traits of the enemies they will face and select buffs for their parties. The available buffs will change with each Apocalyptic Shadow phase. To maximize their chances of success, players should carefully consider their team compositions and chosen buffs.

Xueyi, the four-star character awarded for completing Apocalyptic Shadow’s Difficulty 2, follows the path of Destruction. Her kit focuses on dealing single-target Quantum damage and reducing enemy Toughness. Xueyi also has a unique mechanic that allows her to collect Karma stacks, which she can consume to launch a follow-up attack that deals damage based on a percentage of her ATK.

With her strong single-target damage and Toughness reduction capabilities, Xueyi can be a valuable addition to many team compositions in Honkai: Star Rail.

In addition to unlocking Xueyi for free, players who complete Apocalyptic Shadow’s Difficulty 2 for the first time will also receive 300 Stellar Jades and 1 Self-Modeling Resin. These valuable resources can be used to further enhance players’ characters and progress in the game.
