How to Beat Depths of Illusive Realm 4
Best Character Build
Character and Echo Combination
| Best Character | Best Echo |
|---|---|
| Taoqi | Crownless |
Character Upgrades
| Upgrade | Description |
|---|---|
| Rocky Protector | Basic Attack All damage dealt is increased by an extra 90%. Counterattack is automatically triggered when "Rocksteady Defense" lasts more than 1.0s, the Basic Attack DMG is increased by 200% for 5s. |
| Attacking while Defending | Forte Circuit While the shield generated by Timed Counters lasts, Havoc DMG dealt by Time Counters is increased by 100%. |
| Heavy Work | Forte Circuit Phase 3 of Timed Counters triggers 1 additional Unmovable and regenerates 50% of max Resonance Energy. This can be triggered up to 1 times every 12s. |
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 to increase Taoqi's DMG as much as possible. You would want Taoqi to use her Ultimate frequently with Heavy Work and increase her damage with Rocky Protector and Attacking While Defending.

Best Metaphors
Concerto Characters
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Yuanwu | You'll always want your first Concerto Character pick to synergize with your Echo, so Yuanwu is a great first choice. |
| Mortefi | Mortefi can provide Coordinated Attacks whenever Taoqi uses her Basic or Heavy Attacks. |
Regular Metaphors
| Metaphor | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Dusty Book
| Dusty Book allows Taoqi to use her Resonance Liberation two times without needing to recover Resonance Energy. |
| Crystal of Contradiction
| Crystal of Contradiction reduces the Cooldown and energy needed for Taoqi to use. |
| Resonance Liberation DMG buffs | You'll be relying on Taoqi's Resonance Liberation to deal a lot of DMG, so get as much Resonance Liberation DMG increases as possible. |
Besides the Metaphors mentioned above, you'll also be looking for Resonance Liberation DMG and reduction, alongside any Metaphor that adds to the Crownlesss ability upgrades.

Experiment With Your Own Playstyle
This is just a general guide that can help most players beat Difficulty 4 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 4
Best Echoes for Trial Characters
| Trial Character | Recommended Echo |
|---|---|
| Yangyang | Bell-Borne Geochelone ・Bell-Borne Geochelone's second ability generates Resonance Energy, allowing Yangyang to use her Ultimate more often. |
| Taoqi | Crownless ・Electro Metaphors also allow Taoqi to increase her Resonance Liberation DMG. |
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.
