Temporal Maze is the featured level in Week 29 of Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways. Fusion Resonators are greatly buffed by the Dreamscape Aid and are the recommended characters when playing through this cycle.

Current Aid Resonators

Current Aid Resonators
Wuthering Waves - LupaLupa Wuthering Waves - ChangliChangli Wuthering Waves - BrantBrant
Wuthering Waves - EncoreEncore Wuthering Waves - MortefiMortefi Wuthering Waves - ChixiaChixia

Aid Resonators receive a 150% Illusive Points Bonus when used in the game mode's cycle, which nets you 6,000 Illusive Points instead of the usual 4,000 from non-Aid Resonator runs. This allows you to do just one run in the cycle to collect all rewards for the week.

This week features some Fusion Resonators currently available in the game and we recommend using any of these characters. Even using just one of them will let you get all rewards for the cycle in just one run.

In this week's cycle of the game mode, Fusion teams are highly recommended due to the buffs they receive from the Dreamscape Aid. They will be able to maximize the effects of the Dreamscape Aid for an easier time.

You can also get away with using Mortefi as sub-DPS for non-Fusion teams. Do note though that you will not be able to maximize the DPS-centric Dreamscape Aid since Mortefi is not your Main DPS.

Nevertheless, having even just one of the Aid Resonators, in this case Mortefi, will net you the maximum points and rewards for the cycle.

Free-To-Play Team

Thankfully, Chixia is an aid resonators that is obtainable for free so we have an actual free to play team this time.

We opted to have her be supported by a Yuanwu and Baizhi because they are completely free-to-play as well, though you can also replace Yuanwu with a Sanhua.

List of All Free Characters

Best Metaphors to Use

Best Sigils Best Characters & Explanation
Blizzard
Wuthering Waves - Changli Wuthering Waves - Chixia

Great source of damage that increases Resonance Skill DMG. This improves Concerto Energy generation and is great for Changli and Chixia teams.
Blaze
Wuthering Waves - Encore Wuthering Waves - Brant

Great for any character that scales off Basic Attack DMG, as they can easily summon the fireballs for extra damage. This is great for teams that feature Brant and Encore.
Shield
Wuthering Waves - Jiyan Wuthering Waves - Augusta

A metaphor that gives a very strong shield, so you basically will not be taking damage from enemies. It also improves Heavy Attack DMG, making it good for Resonators that scale off it, like Jiyan and Augusta if you opted to use them with Mortefi.

Other Metaphors
Price of Demolishment Great Metaphor in general due to the high ATK buffs you get. This can be used by all of the recommended teams.
Wonderland Phantasm This Metaphor extends the duration of Divined Dream, making your Sigil significantly stronger when active.
Wind Seeker Slightly causes a longer trigger interval for the Sigil chosen, but greatly improves DMG bonus. This is best paired with metaphors that reduce Sigil trigger intervals.
Power Hammer Slightly reduces the duration of Divined Dream, but significantly boosts all Resonators' DMG for all types.
Captain's Dog Tag Greatly increases your Crit. Rate, letting you hit Critical attacks more often.
Obsession for Devastation A general metaphor that gives ATK. Most Resonators scale off this stat, so it's worth picking up.

Sigils are chosen at the start of the game and drastically change how you play the game mode because of their effects. Get the Core Metaphors for these Sigils during your run and supplement it with other metaphors that work well for your team.

How to Reroll Sigils

You can reroll sigils by finishing one stage of the game mode and quitting midway. Be sure to choose End and Finalize to finish the run, and restart from the beginning. This should allow you to get a new set of sigils, in case the old one does not make sense for your current character pool.

How to Play Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways

2. Select a Sigil
3. Pick the Best Metaphors for Your Team
4. Activate Divined Dream
5. Use Waveplates on Remnant Crystals
6. Enter the Sub-Memory Zone for More Illusive Points

Choose Your Team

Choose Your Team.png

Select three Resonators and form a team that you will be using for Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways. These Resonators cannot be edited during a run, so you should customize their Echoes, Weapons, and Skills before starting the game mode.

Dreamscape Aid Resonators will be recommended per week, as they maximize the Dreamscape Aid buffs the most and gain 150% Bonus Illusive Points when played, which is necessary to get all rewards quickly!

Select a Sigil

Select a Sigil.png

Upon selecting your team, you will immediately select a Sigil to help you in the game mode. These Sigils have great effects on the game mode, essentially changing how you play when doing your run. Do note that these cannot be changed once a run has started.

Upgrade Your Sigil with Core Metaphors

Get Core Metaphors

Sigils have designated Core Metaphors that give bonus effects when you have them. These Metaphors will naturally show up while playing in the game mode. Choose them whenever they show up in the Metaphor selection.

Pick the Best Metaphors for Your Team

Pick the Best Metaphors.png

Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways has multiple Memory Zones that you need to clear. Each time you clear a Memory Zone, a Metaphor gets rewarded to you. Make sure to pick the best one that matches your playstyle and synergizes with your team.

There are special Metaphors that are tied to the Sigil chosen and add on to its effects. Select them whenever they show up.

Look for Hidden Cats

Look for Hidden Cats.png

There are cats hidden in some rocks with gylphs on them. Destroy the rock formations, as some of them hide Dream Cats that give extra Metaphors.

Activate Divined Dream

Activate Divined Dream.png

Divined Dream is an enhanced state in Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways that greatly improves the effects of the Sigil you have when it is active. This can be activated by getting Dreamscape Energy from attacking enemies in the game mode.

Once you have the Dreamscape Energy to full, indicated by a 4th icon below your Resonators, you have to manually activate it for it to work.

Use Waveplates on Remnant Crystals

Use Waveplates on Remnant Crystals.png

In Memory Zones 7 and 13 where bosses will be residing in, Remnant Crystals will form once you defeat them. Use your Waveplates to get Unborn Echoes, which let you roll for Echoes of any Tacet Field in the game!

This is pretty helpful, especially when you're pre-farming an Echo set that is not yet available.

How to Get Unborn Echoes

Enter the Sub-Memory Zone for More Illusive Points

Enter the Sub-Memory Zone

The Sub-Memory Zone is an extra area in Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways where you can fight a stronger boss for additional Illusive Points. This boss is significantly stronger than other enemies with a thicker HP bar than ones in Memory Zone 7 and 13.

Does anyone know if kuro is going to release the something like the previous version of the Illusive realms? because this version is "ok" but extremely unsatisfying to play..... the Rewards match the short amount of time you have to go through it, but its just the previous version of The Illusive realms gave you a type of build up so you felt like you actually accomplished something for finishing them and gaining all the rewards unlike this one...
