How to Beat Paramount Bliss Inverted - Illwish Archlotus

Attack Enemies To Reduce Happiness Stacks

Honkai Star Rail - Hit Enemies To Reduce Happiness Stacks

Illwish Archlotus applies Happiness to your characters, turning them into Happiness Puppets if they reach max stacks. To reduce it, you must attack or defeat enemies. The Illwish Archlotus summons Illwish Lotuses when a character gets a Happiness stack, and you can defeat them to reduce the stacks.

Your team also gains Punchline whenever an Illwish Lotus is taken out. It will also prevent the Illwish Archlotus from draining your character's HP and healing itself.

Take Out Lotuses To Trigger Laughter's End

Honkai Star Rail - Take Out Enemies To Trigger Laughter

Once enough Illwish Lotuses are defeated, Laughter's End will trigger and increase the DMG taken by all enemies. It will also prevent Euphoric Embrace in phase two, which is an attack that deals massive Lightning DMG.
