Genshin Impact has rolled out a thorough introduction to the Stygian Onslaught, aiming to help players excel in this addition to the endgame options in Version 5.7.

For an extended period, players have engaged primarily with the Spiral Abyss in Genshin Impact. The introduction of the Imaginarium Theater in Version 4.7 diversified this experience. However, HoYoverse recognized the demand for even more content, leading to the launch of the new Stygian Onslaught.

This mode, introduced in Version 5.7, is influenced by prior combat events, especially noted from the Unlimited Fighting Championship featured in Version 5.5. What differentiates the Stygian Onslaught from its predecessors is its cooperative mode, where teams initiate with no energy. Although there is enthusiasm for the new gameplay, feedback during the beta phase indicated some dissatisfaction with specific mechanics.

As of June 25, 2025, the launch of Stygian Onslaught presents players with six levels of difficulty, with completion of the third level unlocking all Primogem rewards. Higher difficulties provide additional resources like Dust of Enlightenment and unique weapon skins. To succeed in the highest difficulty, players must assemble specific teams, and a leaderboard system further rewards top performers.

This new mode is a notable evolution in gameplay mechanics, fostering group cooperation but retaining challenges that require individual skill and strategy to progress. It remains to be seen how player input will shape the future of the Stygian Onslaught.
