Are you enjoying Honkai Star Rail’s Simulated Universe? If so, you are in luck – madam Herta is bringing some additional content your way, complete with juicy rewards. But it might not be easy to beat the Swarm Disaster to get your Stellar Jades!
Herta, Ruan Mei, Screwllum and Stephen Lloyd have crafted a stand-alone expansion module, anchoring the research into the time before the fall of the “Imperator Insectorum” Tayzzynronth… They’re not only bringing in brand-new Blessings, Curios, and random events, but also the new “map” and the mysterious Audience Dice and Communing Device.
Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster is now permanently available in Honkai: Star Rail. To unlock this new mode you first have to clear the SU World 5. The new content is available in 5 difficulties, with Difficulty V (Torturous Difficulty) offering high-level obstacles and challenges. Trailblazers can challenge these difficulties based on their preferences.
Here’s how developer HoYoverse describes the new mode:
In Simulated Universe: Swarm Disaster, you need to move across different Domains via a “map”. After beating each Domain, you can use the Communing Device to toss out “Audience Die”. Every Aeon’s Audience Die has different effects, and you can obtain many more Blessings and Curios.
While making your way through SU: Swarm Disaster, you can also take on Trail of Pathstrider challenges. Complete these challenges to increase Communing Trail points and obtain extra rewards in the Trail of Pathstrider interface. Increasing your Communing Trail points can let you unlock various special buffs.
After earning a specific amount of Communing Trail points, you can clear SU: Swarm Disaster to collect new main story chapters. After that you can check out new Aeon stories and obtain corresponding chapter collection rewards. In the innermost depth of the Third Plane, you can challenge the new boss enemy “Swarm: True Sting”.
