Want to experience the hardest combat Honkai Star Rail has to offer? You should try out the Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster.
Honkai Star Rail has added a new game mode known as the Swarm Disaster. This is a permanent new mode, so you don’t have to rush to complete it. This is crucial because most such events are time-exclusive. So in order to complete them you need to play the game a lot and speed things up. But it is good that it is permanent, because, unlike the previous events this one is the hardest one they added to the game so far. You will need a lot of time and patience when completing it and learning about its different mechanisms. So here is what Communing trial, Audience Dice, Path Resonance, Planar Disarray, and Resonance Interplay mean in Honkai Star Rail.
Before going into the details of the mechanisms, here is how you can get started.
Once you complete a domain, you can interact with the Communing Device to get a special die that gives you a unique effect.
Here are a few concepts that you should know about when playing this game mode.
Communing Trail works like a skill tree. It has various abilities that you can unlock and bring to the domains in Swarm Disaster. The buffs you unlock here can be applied to any character no matter the path they are on. Do remember there are a lot of abilities that you can find here. So unlocking them will take quite some time.
In order to unlock the different abilities, you need points for them. You can unlock these points by getting the various achievements that you can find in the Way of the Pathstrider. These are good to look out for because not only do you get these points but you get additional rewards like Stellar Jade, Credits, and more.
Each time you choose a path, before confirming you get to check their Audience Dice and Path Resonance.
As you saw above, you need to get 3 Blessings to activate the Path Resonance. After you unlock more paths, you get to unlock blessings for them. So when you get 3 Blessings of Resonance in two or more paths, the resonance interplay will automatically get activated.
Remember we mentioned above about getting more buffs as you pass by more tiles while keeping an eye on the countdown? When this countdown reaches 0, it triggers the “Planar Disarray” state. From now, each time you move a turn you increase the Disruption Level by 1. The higher this number is the more stat boosts your enemies will receive.
That’s covers the main mechanisms that you should know about Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster in Honkai Star Rail and how to clear it. Be sure to check out our HSR section to get help with more topics of this game.
