What Is Planar Infinity?
Planar Infinity invites you toconquer five specialized planes within the Simulated Universe,each with unique rules and buffsaimed at maximizing your haul of Blessings, Curios, and Cosmic Fragments.
Each plane is separated into two stages:the Ordinary Plane and the Final Trial.After navigating the Ordinary Plane, whichplays similarly to a standard Simulated Universe run,you’ll engage in the Final Trial. This turn-limited battle gauntlet features eight waves of progressively tougher enemies.
The choices you’ve made —your selection of Blessings and the characters you’ve deployed— will be pivotal as you strive toclear as many waves as possiblefor the highest score and best rewards.
After finalizing an exploration in the Ordinary Plane, you’ll receive Simulated Universe Points based on the progress made during that exploration.
How To Clear Infinite Expansion Curio Plane
The Infinite Expansion Curio Plane’s unique twist is that it encourages you tobreak everything in sight to reap a bountyof Curios and Cosmic Fragments. This iscourtesy of the Cosmic Big Lotto Curio (Infinite) and Omniscient Capsule (Infinite) given to you at the start— so expect to have what feels like an unlimited supply of buffs by the end.
This plane also has aDomain: Adventure in the form of a timed challengein which you have to break as many barrels as possible, with even more rewards up for grabs.
For the easiest time,use either Jingliu(for her AoE ice technique) orDan Heng Imbibitor Lunae(for his dash technique). If you have neither,opt for a character with a wide-ranged attack(to destroy multiple barrels at once).
DoT (Damage over Time) Team
Path: Nihility | Blessings: Nihility, The Hunt, Abundance, Preservation
The first plane will be teeming withlarge waves of enemies. As such, a DoT team led by Kafka will work well due to her ability to bring down the health of numerous enemies at the same time. Leverage the Nihility Path for Blessings to bolster the effectiveness of your DoTs, andutilize the Path Resonance to apply a barrage of AoE DoT effects.This ensuresenemies will take substantial damage consistently— during your turns and whenever they act.
Explanation
Kafka
Kafka acts as the cornerstone of the team thanks to her ability totrigger all DoT effects on multiple enemies at once.This is made even more effective when paired with theNihility Path Resonance that stacks an abundance of DoTs on all foesupon use.
Luka
TheBleed DoTs inflicted by Luka scale with a target’s max HP, which will rapidly deplete the large health pools of enemies in the Final Trial. His Ultimate alsoincreases damage taken by targets, intensifying the already formidable DoT effects. you may also use Sampo or Guinaifen instead for Wind Shear and Burn DoTs respectively.
Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf is able to significantlyamplify the damage dealt by your DoTs by reducing the defenses of enemies.You can also use Pela, who has the advantage of being able to lower the defense of multiple targets simultaneously.
Luocha
Luocha serves as an invaluable healer,offering enough sustain to maintain your team’s health single handedly.If you don’t have him,opt for Fu Xuan.Otherwise, any other healer or shielder can fill the role, though you may need tomake up for it with additional Abundance or Preservation Blessings.
Follow-Up Attack Team
Path: Elation | Blessings: Elation, The Hunt, Abundance, Preservation
Jing Yuan and Clara shine on the Elation Path,delivering potent follow-up attacks with AoE reach— a crucial advantage against the swarms of enemies faced in this plane. You can also consider replacing Clara with Bronya or Asta, transforming the team into a hyper-carry setup centered around Jing Yuan and his Lightning Lord.
Jing Yuan
Jing Yuan stands as the linchpin of the Follow-up Attack Team, wielding the Lightning Lord mechanic to deliver atorrent of Lightning damage across multiple targets.This damage is further increased by Tingyun’s buffs and the Blessings from the Path of Elation.
Clara
Clara adeptly balances offense and defense.Through her Ultimate, she is able to protect the team’s more vulnerable members like Tingyun, and in turn, retaliate with powerful counterattacks (treated as Follow-up Attacks). You can also replace Clara with a Harmony or Nihility unit (eg. Asta or Pela) toshift the focus entirely onto maximizing Jing Yuan’s damage.
Tingyun
Tingyun augments your DPS characters' damagewhile supplying essential energy to teammates,keeping Jing Yuan or Clara’s Ultimates up more often.Though Tingyun is optimal, Asta or Bronya can serve as alternatives in her stead.
How To Clear Infinite Expansion Nurture Plane
The Infinite Expansion Nurture Plane iscompletely filled with Domain Occurrences, save for the inevitable final boss confrontation.
A key Occurrence that you’ll want to look out for is Ruan Mei (Infinite), as she can either grant theentirety of blessings from a random pathor provide a substantial bounty of2000 Cosmic Fragments.This encounter shapes the rest of the run, providing a substantial boost to your characters. If you want optimal conditions, restarting the plane is a valid strategy,given how early Ruan Mei appears.
Mono-Fire Follow-up Attack Team
In this second planedominated by fire-weak enemies, the Mono-Fire follow-up attack team emerges as a top strategy. Himeko and Topaz excel at the forefront, effortlesslyincinerating enemy toughness bars.Furthermore,each Weakness break primes Himeko for a potent Follow-up Attackthat is bolstered by the Path of Elation, and Topaz’s Proof of Debt debuff.
Himeko
Himeko brings to the tableconsistent AoE damage,melting down multiple foes simultaneously. She also takes advantage of theconstant weakness breaks to deal substantial follow-up damage.
Topaz and Numby
Topaz significantlyramps up the output of the team by increasing the damage enemies take from follow-up attacksvia her Proof of Debt debuff, turning each of your damage dealer’s attacks into fiery spectacles.
Asta
Astaboosts the attack and speedof your mono-Fire team, enabling swift and fierce follow-up attacks. Her skill also offersexceptional toughness-breaking capabilities.Tingyun or Silver Wolf are fine substitutes, though they lack the specific synergy that Asta brings to the team, and aren’t free, unlike Asta.
Fu Xuan
Fu Xuan, with her damage mitigation and self-sustain capabilities, anchors the team’s defense. Her ability topreserve the team’s vitality while supplying the team with an increased Crit Rateensures that the Mono-Fire squad can take on even the most grueling encounters. Luocha makes for a fantastic alternative if you don’t have Fu Xuan.
Seele Hyper Carry Team
Path: The Hunt | Blessings: The Hunt, Abundance, Preservation
you may alsoopt for a Hyper Carry Team strategyon the second plane, employing thePath of The Hunt to enhance your main DPS’s stats significantly.This approach revolves around Seele or another high-damage unit in tandem with Silver Wolf, focusing ongaining multiple Action Forwards via various Hunt Blessings,allowing your main DPS to make consecutive high-damaging attacks in a row.
Seele
As the team’s main DPS, Seele excels in breaching Quantum toughness anddefeating foes with her potent single-target attacks — and then attacking again right after.While Seele is the preferred choice, other S-tier DPS options likeJingliu or Blade can also fill this role adequately when paired with Silver Wolf.
Silver Wolf serves as the defense shredder of the team,capable of both lowering the defense of enemies and implanting weaknesses.If you’re using Seele as the main DPS, you can opt for Bronya or Tingyun in this spot instead.
Bronya
Bronya, with her array of buffs,increasing Seele’s attack strength and critical damage, optimizing her battle effectiveness. Alternatively, Tingyun offers similar support,augmenting Seele’s damage and providing additional opportunities to activate her Ultimate.
Fu Xuan rounds out the team as the healer and buffer. Beyond just healing, she canmitigate debuffs, bolster resistances, and increase the Crit Rate of your allies.Luocha makes for a fantastic alternative if you don’t have Fu Xuan.
How To Clear Infinite Expansion Fragment Plane
The Infinite Expansion Fragment Plane revolves around the enhanced Robe of The Beauty (Infinite), which nowempowers allies with a damage boost based on the collective Cosmic Fragments amassed.
Normally with the Robe of Beauty, you’d have to deal with a trade-off: either stockpile Cosmic Fragments to amplify your team’s damage or spend them within Domain – Respites to purchase blessings. But in this plane,even expended Cosmic Fragments still counttowards the Robe of The Beauty (Infinite)’s damage-boosting effect.
Similar to the first plane, you’ll face a Domain: Adventure challenge requiring you to break 30 barrels within a time limit. Once again,use either Jingliu(for her AoE ice technique) orDan Heng Imbibitor Lunae(for his dash technique). If you don’t have access to either, this challenge can seem impossible. Fortunately, we have Jingliu at home — here’s a video guide on how you canfully clear this challenge using Herta.
Make sure to prioritize acquiring theGold Coin of Discord (Infinite)andSociety Ticket (Infinite).Both will rapidly snowball your Cosmic Fragment balance.
Path: Elation | Blessings: Elation and The Hunt
The Follow-Up Attack Teamcapitalizes on the Lightning and Fire vulnerabilities of the third plane.The team’s strategy is the same as it was in the first plane: consecutive highly damaging follow-up attacks.

Luocha serves as an invaluable healer,offering enough sustain to maintain your team’s health singlehandedly.If you don’t have him,opt for Fu Xuan.Otherwise, any other healer or shielder can fill the role, though you may need tomake up for it with additional Abundance or Preservation Blessings.
Path: Nihility | Blessings: Nihility and Abundance
The DoT Team is designed to dominate the third plane byemploying a continuous slew of DoT effects.Kafka and Guinaifen lead the charge, inflicting ongoing DoT that compounds over time, making short work of enemies' health bars. Their effectiveness is boosted significantly by the Robe of The Beauty,which increases the damage of every DoT stack.
Guinaifen
Guinaifen serves as a very synergistic partner to Kafka, being able toeasily and very quickly apply Burn DoT.Her Talent ‘PatrAeon Benefits’ also applies an Impair that furtherincreases all damage that enemies receive after being burnt, making Kafka’s abilities hurt all the more.
Silver Wolf is able to significantlyamplify the damage dealt by your DoTs by reducing the defenses of enemies.you may also substitute Silver Wolf for Asta, who is able to both buff allies and assist by rapidly breaking enemy toughness bars.
How To Clear Infinite Expansion Bait Plane
The Infinite Expansion Bait is an intriguing stage where the primary focus iscapturing Trotters to accumulate a bounty of blessings.Each Trotter ensnared within the plane bestows two random blessings, turning the act of capture into a very rewarding endeavor.
The Shattered Star Bait (Infinite) Curio enhances this blessing hunt byproviding an extra blessing with every Trotter caught,turning the act of capture into a very rewarding endeavor. To optimize the capturing process,use Topaz and Numby if possible,as they ensure Trotters won’t escape.

His high innate Crit stats, his impressive AoE and single-target damage, along with his attacks' significant amounts of toughness shred, makes himindispensable as a Hyper Carry DPS character.If you’re able to’t use Imbibitor Lunae,Welt is able to serve as an alternative DPS that trades some damage for debilitating debuffs.
Bronya plays a key support role,enhancing Imbibitor Lunae’s capabilities while granting him additional actions— allowing you to maintain your offensive.
Pela
Pela takes care of the debuffer role,ensuring the enemy’s defenses are lowered,amplifying the overall damage output of the team, especially Imbibitor Lunae’s already-heavy hits.
