Honkai Star Rail Version 3.7 Treasures Lightward Schedule Reveals New Bosses, Buffs, and Event Timeline

HoYoverse has shared details about the Honkai Star Rail Version 3.7 Treasures Lightward Schedule, which basically sets the stage for three months of combat-heavy updates. The new cycle will start in November 2025 and last until January 2026, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most diverse runs yet. Players will rotate through Apocalyptic Shadow: Instigation of the Locusts, Pure Fiction: Syntax Rule, and Memory of Chaos: Monkey Business each offering new buffs, twists, and enemies that demand fresh team setups and planning.

Honkai Star Rail Version 3.7 Treasures Lightward Schedule

The Honkai Star Rail Version 3.7 Treasures Lightward Schedule is split across several months, starting November 10, 2025, and wrapping up by January 19, 2026.

• Apocalyptic Shadow: Instigation of the Locusts – November 10 to December 22, 2025 (Server Time)
• Pure Fiction: Syntax Rule – November 24, 2025, to January 5, 2026 (Server Time)
• Memory of Chaos: Monkey Business – December 8, 2025, to January 19, 2026 (Server Time)

Apocalyptic Shadow – Instigation of the Locusts Brings Heavy Buff Focus

The first challenge in the Honkai Star Rail Version 3.7 Treasures Lightward Schedule is Apocalyptic Shadow: Instigation of the Locusts. It puts emphasis on Weakness Breaks and smart coordination between allies. When enemies that have “Steadfast Safeguard” are broken, all control effects vanish from your team, everyone gets a turn instantly, and HP is restored. On top of that, enemies will take 15% more Memosprite Skill Damage and 25% more Ultimate Damage, making offense a bit easier.

Players can choose from different buffs to enhance team performance:

• The brand of Anamnesis gives more damage if your lineup has multiple Remembrance characters.
• Hardened by Frost adds 50% more Ice Damage and boosts Speed by 10%.
• Heroic Vanguard grants 50% higher Weakness Break Efficiency and CRIT DMG for the front-line unit after using an Ultimate.

Later on, new options appear like Dire Straits, which helps when hitting enemies suffering from multiple DoT effects, and Sweeping Force, boosting Critical Damage for Basic Attacks and Ultimates. Players will go against enemies such as the Sky-Shrouding Stardevourer Swarm and Opportunistic Provocateur, both of which need accurate elemental counters and timing to beat.

Pure Fiction – Syntax Rule Expands with Grit and Echo Enigma Effects

Pure Fiction – Syntax Rule Expands with Grit and Echo Enigma Effects

After that, the Pure Fiction: Syntax Rule phase starts on November 24 and continues until January 5, 2026. This one’s quite different in style, putting focus on the new Grit mechanic and its mix with Wind-based Damage over Time effects. Enemies now enter battle already carrying one Echo Enigma stack, and as the turns go by, they keep adding more. Every stack brings Wind DoT that stacks up to ten, which can quickly turn fights more complicated if not managed well. For players who want a deeper narrative tie-in to this update, the Honkai Star Rail 3.7 As Tomorrow Became Yesterday Mission Explained also provides key story context that connects with this combat phase.

When the enemies go into the Surging Grit phase, they suddenly get five stacks at once and take instant DoT damage equal to their base output. During this mode, they also start taking 50% more damage but deal 35% less damage themselves, while their speed increases by 50%. It makes combat a bit chaotic because everything moves faster than expected.

The new buffs in this section aren’t simple either and need some experimenting:

• Exposition lets DoT ignore a part of the enemy’s resistance, stacking bonus damage each time up to 99%.
• Torn Fabric gives 10% extra Weakness Break Efficiency for every Echo Enigma stack active.
• Cinnabar Inscription makes the enemy take 3% more damage for each stack, which adds up a lot over longer fights.

Memory of Chaos – Monkey Business Emphasizes Boss Fights

The last part of the Honkai Star Rail Version 3.7 Treasures Lightward Schedule comes with Memory of Chaos: Monkey Business, starting on December 8, 2025, and running till January 19, 2026. At the start of each new cycle, all the stored hits trigger True Damage on a random target, which can sometimes turn the tide in a fight but also backfire if timing goes wrong. The bosses in this phase are quite something: Gepard, Stellaron Hunter: Sam, Borisin Warhead: Hoolay, and First Genius Entelechy, Zandar.
