Superstring Dimension is an Abyss-variant game mode that was added in Version 4.2. It is currently accessible only by Captains who are Lv. 81 or above.
Gameplay[]
Stages[]
Stage interface
- Superstring Dimension's cycle has 4 stages: Fringe (left), Intensive (top), Perilous (right) and Singular (bottom). Players will start challenging Fringe in order to get access to Intensive and Singular. Successfully completing the former will unlock Perilous, which is basically a boss stage. All four stages have a time limit.
- Fringe, Intensive and Perilous may have same weather, while Singular will have a different one from the rest. All four may also have different effects to each other.
- Perilous rewards bonus points and can be played repeatedly. A shorter clearing time means more bonus points. For other areas, one clearing rewards full points.
- Completing Fringe, Intensive and Singular will rewards 6,000 points each, and Perilous will give 3,000 + remaining points, which will be based on how long Captains take to clear.
- If a battle is left unfinished, points will be rewarded based on current progress.
- Players are ranked based on their highest battle points, and for players with the same score, the one who reaches this score earliest ranks highest.
Disturbance[]
- Disturbance (top right in red) determines how difficult enemy battles are. Higher disturbance typically equals enemies having more HP.
- Disturbance does not change within a cycle.
- However, it may change in the next cycle based on a group's overall performance per cycle. A faster average clearing time in the group means a higher Disturbance and stronger enemies next round.
- Disturbance varies across the 5 rank groups (Forbidden, Sinful, Agony, Redlotus, and Nirvana) and different sub-groups within the same rank group (e.g. Agony I, II, and III).
- Disturbance also varies across servers.

Ranks[]
Trophies and Virtual Trophies
- Unlike other Abyss-variants, Superstring Dimension introduces Trophies mechanic which, depends on player's place during cycle's finalization, will be either increased or decreased. The change of remaining trophies will promote them to higher rank if they have high enough trophies, or vice versa. In other words, players will not be promoted or relegated directly.
- Once entering the mode for the first time, player will also start with 180 Virtual Trophies (which can be increased by 100 if promoted to Red Lotus once), which will be reduced instead of the actual trophies in case of their rank is low during finalization.

Myriad[]
- The Myriad list shows the top 100 players serverwide and is updated in real time with historical data for reference.
- Only players from the highest rank group are eligible for the ranking and they are ranked based on battle points. For players with the same score, the one who reaches this score earliest ranks highest. Players who score zero will not enter the list. Players in the Agony group or lower groups will not enter the list.
- If the highest rank group has less than 100 players, players from the second highest group will fill in.
