Depths of Illusive Realm Difficulty 3 Guide

Phantasm Amass Difficulty III is the third stage of the latest Depths of Illusive Realm in Wuthering Waves. Check out how to beat it, the best Echoes, the characters you can use, and all the rewards here!

How to Beat Depths of Illusive Realm 3

Best Character Build

Character and Echo Combination

Best Character Best Echo
Wuthering Waves - CamellyaCamellya Wuthering Waves - Inferno RiderInferno Rider

Camellya and Inferno Rider synergize well together, due to the latter's abilities activating more often because of the former's high hit count on certain attacks. This will lead to a higher damage output from Inferno Rider.

Character Upgrades

Upgrade Description
Bud for the Taking
Basic Attack

Grants Glean: Restore 10 Crimson Pistils per second (unstackable). Blazing Waltz no longer consumes STA. Basic Attack Stage 4, Vining Waltz Stage 3, and Blazing Waltz now reduce more enemy Vibration Strength. Holding down the Normal Attack Button can increase their duration. Basic Attack Stage 4, Vining Waltz Stage 3, and Blazing Waltz reduce enemy's Havoc RES by 5% for 10s when dealing damage, stacking up to 10 times.
Cycle of Blossom
Resonance Skill

Grants Glean: Restore 10 Crimson Pistils per second (unstackable). Camellya enters Budding Mode after casting Resonance Skill Crimson Blossom or Floral Ravage.
Greenhouse's Caress
Basic Attack

Camellya's resistance to interruption is increased while casting Basic Attack Stage 4, Vining Waltz Stage 3, or Blazing Waltz. Upon dealing Basic Attack DMG: Camellya restores 5% HP, triggered once every 1s, Camellya additionally restores 4 Resonance Energy if not at max Forte Gauge, triggered once every 1s.

You will always have 1 Character Upgrade every run, and you can get more through Memory of Training.

To start, pick up Bud for the Taking to shred Enemy Havoc RES and reduce the stamina consumption of Blazing Waltz. Then, get Cycle of Blossom when it appears to increase Budding Mode's uptime.

If you find survival or interruptions an issue, Greenhouse's Caress can help by giving Camellya some healing and interruption resistance.

List of Character Upgrades

Best Metaphors

Concerto Characters

Character Explanation
Wuthering Waves - MortefiMortefi Mortefi is a great Concerto Metaphor to pick up for more damage, as his Resonance Liberation plays well with Camellya's Basic Attack spam.
Wuthering Waves - VerinaVerina For survival, Verina is one of the best Concerto Metaphors to pick up. She can continuously heal Camellya through her Resonance Liberation.
Wuthering Waves - BaizhiBaizhi Baizhi is a weaker, but still important healing source should Verina not be available. Instead of continuous healing, Baizhi performs a large burst heal instead.

Regular Metaphors

Metaphor Explanation
Wuthering Waves - FusionAny Fusion Metaphors Camellya plays well with Fusion Metaphors, especially the Basic Attack focused ones, or the ones that stack based on hit count. These are also needed to power up Inferno Rider.
Wuthering Waves - GlacioAny Glacio Metaphors These are taken mainly to further strengthen Inferno Rider, but can help with Camellya's defenses somewhat.
Nameplate of a Nameless One
Wuthering Waves - FusionWuthering Waves - FusionWuthering Waves - Fusion Wuthering Waves - FusionWuthering Waves - FusionWuthering Waves - Fusion Wuthering Waves - FusionWuthering Waves - FusionWuthering Waves - Fusion
This Metaphor provides a massive increase to Basic Attack DMG, which is the crux of Camellya's entire kit. Getting this will improve her damage significantly.

List of Metaphors

Best Tokens

Token Description
Wings of Bane Reduce DEF by 80% in the following 3 Memory Zones. After successfully clearing them, remove this effect and gain 60% ATK increase.
Bodhi Blossom Gain 40% ATK increase after clearing 2 Memory Zones with [Phantasm Partita] enemies.
A Seed in a Wasteland Additionally unlock 2 nodes of the Resonator's Resonance Chain. Can unlock up to 6 nodes.
Spark Trigger Increase DMG dealt by 70% upon entering a new Memory Zone, which will be removed upon taking DMG.

Any Token that increases Camellya's damage will be a great pick-up. Caution is advised when taking Wings of Bane however, as the massive DEF drop makes enemies very lethal.

Break Shining Pool Floaters

The shining pool floaters introduced in Version 1.2 remain present. These have a slight glow, setting them apart from the rest of the stage. Break them with attacks when you see them, as they reward you with Dream Fragments!

Use Camellya's Blazing Waltz

Making use of Camellya's Blazing Waltz attack (hold down the Attack Button after Vining Waltz 3 in Blossom Mode) can quickly power up any stacking Metaphors, and can repeatedly trigger Inferno Rider's skills in a short period.

Use this as her main form of dealing damage to ensure maximum uptime on the aforementioned effects.

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.

If you completed Difficulty 3 with a different or stronger build, let us know in the comments down below!

I am stuck here too but I never had problems in the past. I keep getting killed at the final stage because it's two-phases and I can't out heal the damage from inferno rider with my characters at lvl 70. Illusive realm was never this tedious in the past
