The Simulated Universe in Honkai: Star Rail is no easy task for players who want to dive in and benefit from all its rewards. The enemies there are sturdier and more deadly, especially if players are going in with an undeveloped team.
In order to ease the time inside every Simulated Universe (SU), players will often come across a choice of three Blessings that may help the team. These Blessings can be upgraded and synergized together to create a solid combo, allowing players to further dwell within the Simulated Universe in Honkai: Star Rail.
7 Nihility – All Things Are Possible
- Effect: If an enemy is attacked while under any DoT statuses, a random DoT will be triggered, dealing DMG equal to 150% of the DoT.
Having this kind of Blessing can improve the entire team’s utility since every time characters attack enemies they’ll burst one of the DoTs. Whether it’s a follow-up attack, Skill, or even Ultimate, these attacks will burst a DoT. Because enemies can only be affected by a limited amount of DoT at once, the All Things Are Possible Nihility Blessing becomes even better as players won't be wasting new DoT applications on the opponent and DoTers will be able to refresh the DoTs much faster and effectively drain enemies’ HP. This is especially notable when players bring a debuffer like Hook or Sampo to the Simulated Universe in Honkai: Star Rail.
6 Remembrance – Ultimate Experience: Shudder
- Effect: After a character uses their Ultimate, there is a 70% base chance to apply Ice Weakness to a random enemy who has no Ice Weakness for 2 turn(s).
Having the Shudder Blessing during Simulated Universe runs improves the performance of Honkai: Star Rail’s Ice characters. With a 70% chance to insert Ice weakness on enemies, players can take a full team of Ice characters into the SU. Even if there was only one Ice unit in the team, it’s still a way to break enemies’ weaknesses faster since it allows for one more character to participate in the Toughness breaking.
5 Preservation – Divine Construct: Metastatic Field
- Effect: After a character is attacked, deals Quake DMG to the attacker, equal to 420% of the character's Shield effect just before the attack. This DMG cannot defeat the enemy.
Preservation is a broken Resonance in the Simulated Universe in Honkai: Star Rail. While the Metastatic Field Blessing doesn’t work without the other Preservation Blessings, it is still a core Blessing to have to fully benefit from running a Preservation Resonance path. When players get their hands on the Divine Construct: Metastatic Field Blessing with a solid lineup of Blessings and characters that can maintain the shielding process, enemies will start killing themselves on the characters, especially if players built their characters with some CRIT Rate.
4 Remembrance – Perfect Experience: Innocence
- Effect: After the character inflicts Weakness Break on an enemy, there is a 100% base chance to apply Dissociation on the enemy for 1 turn(s). This effect ignores enemies' chance to resist Frozen.
Dissociation is a great passive to have during a Simulated Universe run that focuses on the Remembrance Resonance path. When leveling up Perfect Experience: Innocence Blessing, even enemy bosses will Freeze when their Toughness is broken. With that, the Dissociation effect will apply and once the Frozen effect is over, they’ll take 30% of their Max HP as damage.
3 Preservation – Divine Construct: Macrosegregation
- Effect: At the start of the battle, characters gain a special Shield that can absorb DMG equal to 10% of their Max HP. Whenever another Shield is gained, this special Shield will also strengthen by 130%. For every 2 turn(s), this will be removed, and then this special Shield can be regained.
With Divine Construct: Macrosegregation Blessing, players will have an insane ability to maximize this and any other shielding ability. It’s a great opportunity to keep all the characters sturdy and able to take as many hits as possible; allowing characters to keep inflicting Quake damage through other Preservation Blessings.
2 Destruction – Regression Inequality of Annihilation
- Effect: Receives 15% less DMG. When player characters are hit, DMG taken by the characters is equally distributed among all allies.
When playing defensively and trying to withstand as many attacks as possible, running with Blessings that reduce damage taken is a must. Blessings like Construct: Firmness or Clear Lucite Body reduce the damage shielded allies take by 24% and reduce the damage full HP allies take by 36% respectively. These Blessings are great, but Regression Inequality of Annihilation has two utilities with great importance; first, it reduces DMG taken by 15% unconditionally, and second, all damage taken will be distributed equally among all allies, which reduces the chance of enemy one-shotting a teammate. It’s a great Blessing for any defensive strategy during any SU run in Honkai: Star Rail.
1 Elation – Champion's Dinner: Cat's Cradle
- Effect: When characters deal DMG to an enemy with their Ultimate, this attack is considered a follow-up attack. Increases the DMG of follow-up attacks by 55%.
Elation path has a lot of damage and utility buffs going on to follow-up attacks during SU runs. The problem remains where these Elation buffs are specific to a very niche minority of characters in Honkai: Star Rail. However, that all changes when players acquire Champion's Dinner: Cat's Cradle since it makes all units’ Ultimates considered as follow-up attacks. This is crucial to help the team easily run with a full Elation Resonance Path. If players don’t want to follow an Elation path, this Blessing alone can maximize the damage of a character who heavily relies on their Ultimate.
Honkai: Star Rail is now available on Android, iOS, and PC. A PlayStation version is in development.
