OUTDATED!

[ INFINITY BUILD FOR DUMMIES ]

As for 5.4, this is outdated!!!

Mobius ER strategy aka infinity cycle / Mind Sync strat / mobiloop is a way to clear ER, or to make infinitely big dps (damage-per-screenshot).
It's quite nice to use at high difficulties (130D and higher) but requires a lot of rng luck.
It also can enable even zero-gear weak characters (hello Kallen) to clear much higher difficulties than they can, potentially even 130D.

Note: This will stop working in version 5.4, which will come mid-Jan 2022

To actually run that you generally need these signets at least:

  1. Lodging [C] +3
  2. Newborn [X] +3
  3. Dead [X]

Preferably you get Unknown [X] after that for comfyness and max Dead [X] +3 for actual damage.
The former also enables you to use supports other than VC+BK, while the latter is actually a must for high-difficulty runs.
Reminder: all [X] Mobius signets are Enhanced signets, they require Core signet first.

Things to note:

  1. Minimum requirements can be much lower when using a character with high frequency of attacks (e.g. BKE is fine without signet upgrades). Most ER characters can actually sustain the loop with just +3+1, +1+3 or +2+2 levels on Lodging [C] and Newborn [X].
  2. Mobius build can't 130D+ alone with bad bad signets, so other good signets are still required, preferably not TDM%
  3. In the end of this article there are little helpful moments I didn't know where to put \(^_^)/

There are several ways (styles?) to execute this strat.


[ First option = "Chill and mighty!" ]

Play normally ( https://rentry.co/ElysianRealm ) before Benares, then start building Mobius signets.
That is the best and most convenient way, assuming you're using a well-geared character that basically can't clear 16F only by a tiny margin.
Otherwise (if you're undergeared) you probably won't be able to clear Benares or Heimdall.

Everything you need to know here is the infinity cycle requirements above and some general misc ER info:
> Bonus Reward floors are 4F, 7F, 11F and 15F. How to remember those easily: these are the last non-boss floors in their respective landscapes (landscapes change every 4 floors).
> Phyllis shop floors are: 5-6F once, 9-10F once, 13-14F once. How to remember those easily: these are the last two floors before Bonus Reward floors.

The other options are different ways to finish infinity cycle before Benares.
Crazy? Yes!
What's also crazy? Clearing 130-150D with f2p Kallen!
The next options are exactly for that.
If you're going to use the options below, prepare to suffer, potentially for a few hours


[ Second option = "Standard mobiloop abuse" ]

The basic outline of the run:
> Before starting: Equip "Forbidden Seed" sigil. Use VKE + VC supports.
> 2F-4F: Pick Lodging [C] (Support CDR) before getting Core Mobius signet with 2 other signets (like Dark Pupil [T], Lip Poison [E] or Entwined [P] / ELF SP, summoned TDM% or enemies dmg taken%)
> 5F: Get Newborn [X].
> 6F: Firstly, reroll portals until you get a Mobius portal or tun out of rerolls. Then change your sigil to to "The First Scale". Then check the shop and buy a Mobius Enhanced signet if you can (cases below). Then upgrade Lodging [C] and Newborn [X] as high as you can. Also change the supports to BKE + VC!
> 7F: Get Dead [X]+1.

NO NEED FOR ANY BONUS REWARD.
4F might take you ~4 minutes.
7F might take you ~6-12 minutes.

This is the standard run using Mobius strategy. There might be some slight differences depending on your luck:

Case Solution
There's no Newborn [X] at 5F Pick any other Enhanced signet (Unknown [X] preferably) and pray for another signet (Dead [X] or Newborn [X]) in Phyllis Shop. Buy it, then max Lodging [C] as high as you can. Get the 3rd Enhanced Mobius signet at 7F. Don't forget to change the sigil and supports. If you don't have a Mobius Enhanced signet available for purchase in Phyllis Shop, finalize the run.
Phyllis shop has Unknown [X]+1 available for purchase Firstly, reroll portals leading to 7F when you still have Forbidden Seed sigil equipped, you must a Mobius portal. Then equip The First Scale, and only then buy Unknown [X]+1. Then proceed to upgrading Lodging [C] and Newborn [X] if you can.
Phyllis shop has Dead [X]+1 available for purchase Firstly, reroll portals leading to 7F when you still have Forbidden Seed sigil equipped, you might get a Mobius portal. Then equip The First Scale, and only then buy Dead [X]+1. Then proceed to upgrading Lodging [C] and Newborn [X] if you can.
Rerolls ended but 7F portal doesn't lead to Mobius Don't lose hope and check the Phyllis Shop. If you can buy Dead [X] or Unknown [X], swap sigil to The First Scale, then buy. After that / else, upgrade Lodging [C] and Newborn [X] levels. Lastly. swap sigil to Home Lost (don't forget to swap supports to VC+BKE beforehand).

Speaking about Lodging [C] and Newborn [X] levels... If you don't feel comfortable with having them only at +1+3 or +2+2 or even lower, consider the next option.


[ Third option = "Slowly but surely" ]

In this variation we use The First Scale from the very beginning. Other than that, it's the same as the standard run, but safer in terms of ability to sustain the loop.

Using The First Scale from the start means:

  1. You receive all Mobius signets already upgraded to +1 level.
  2. You get Mobius portals less frequently.

Implications of those:

  1. You save some Silver Coins for upgrades = you can upgrade signets further!
  2. It's difficult to keep getting Mobius portals until 7F = you need to restart even more.

Anyway, let's reiterate on the outline:
> Before starting: Equip "The First Scale" sigil. Use VKE + VC supports.
> 2F-4F: Pick Lodging [C]+1 (Support CDR) before getting Core Mobius signet with 2 other signets (like Dark Pupil [T]+1, Lip Poison [E]+1 or Entwined [P]+1 / ELF SP, summoned TDM% or enemies dmg taken%)
> 5F: Get Newborn [X]+1.
> 6F: Firstly, reroll portals until you get a Mobius portal or tun out of rerolls. Then check the shop and buy a Mobius Enhanced signet if you can. Then upgrade Lodging [C] and Newborn [X] as high as you can (should be able to max them if you didn't purchase an Enhanced signet). Also change the supports to BKE + VC!
> 7F: Get Dead [X]+1.


[ Fourth option = "The Scale Gambit" ]

This time we also use The First Scale from the very beginning.
In addition, we don't use Phyllis Shop before Benares.

Implications of not using Phyllis Shop at 6F:

  1. Your Lodging [C] and Newborn [X] are only +1 level.
  2. On the other hand, you also have Unknown [X]+1 that helps sustaining the loop even better than levels on Lodging [C] and Newborn [X].
  3. However, getting all portals until 7F (6 portals in total) leading to Mobius requires much more luck than getting only 5 portals (without 6F, because Phyllis door is guaranteed). More random-dependent events = more time spent restarting ER over and over.

Anyway, let's reiterate on the outline:
> Before starting: Equip "The First Scale" sigil. This time, use BKE + VC supports from the start.
> 2F-4F: Pick Lodging [C]+1 (Support CDR) before getting Core Mobius signet with 2 other signets (like Dark Pupil [T]+1, Lip Poison [E]+1 or Entwined [P]+1 / ELF SP, summoned TDM% or enemies dmg taken%)
> 5F-7F: Get Newborn [X]+1 > Dead [X]+1 > Unknown [X]+1


[ Bonus option = "Holy Lance" ]

This option requires Bright Knight character unlocked.

This option uses Bright Knight valkyrie with VKE+VC supports.
Basically, other than that, you can follow any other option above, with a slight difference:

  • BKE can prolong the loop duration using high frequency attacks, making her able to use VKE+VC supports even with Lodging+1 and Newborn+1.

Basically that means she has more freedom, so you can either use lowest-CD supports with low Lodging/Newborn levels or she can make use of spamming VKE high dmg, or just be less random-reliant.

Please refer to this (will update the link when there will be a better guide on hitlags):

[ Misc stuff ]

  • Combinations of basic signets to get from 2F to 4F in order of dps potential:
    Lodging [C] + Entwined [P] + Lip Poison [E] for the most dmg output
    Lodging [C] + Lip Poison [E] + Rodent [V]
    Lodging [C] + Lip Poison [E] + Dark Pupil [T]
    Lodging [C] + Entwined [P] + Rodent [V]
    Lodging [C] + Entwined [P] + Dark Pupil [T]
    Lodging [C] + Rodent [V] + Dark Pupil [T]
  • Sometimes you might need Dark Pupil [T] to sustain the loop (especially so if your Jingwei ELF still has no SP-related skills leveled).
  • At 6F: After you upgrade Lodging [C] and Newborn [X] as high as you can, upgrade Dark Pupil [T] with leftover coins if you can (just in case).
  • Tesla:Zero ELF greatly reduces requirements for the infinite loop. Use it if you can!

  • Basic signet effects:

Rodent

Entwined

Silent

Lip Poison

Lodging

Dark Pupil


  • Core Mobius signet effect:

Infinite


  • Enhanced signets effect:

Dead

Unknown

Newborn
