Honkai: Star Rail – all Simulated Universe Resonance Interplays

The Simulated Universe is thriving with options
HoYoverse

Players of Honkai: Star Rail love their Simulated Universe, a roguelike game mode allowing them to farm Planar Ornaments, Star Rail Tickets, and other useful materials in a fun way. Update 1.3 for the game had a massive content wave for the SU in store, adding a new permanent mode to it, which featured the Path of The Propagation, additional Curios and Events, and the Resonance Interplay feature. Update 1.6 brought a similar portion of fresh content to the mode with Gold and Gears, featuring the Path of The Erudition and a brand-new host of distinct Resonance Interplays.

Think of Resonance Interplays as a combination of two Paths, giving you additional bonuses for obtaining a certain amount of Blessings from both your primary and secondary Path. Once you're on your run in Swarm Disaster or Gold and Gears, pick three Blessings each of Paths that can be combined to get access to their Resonance Interplay.

Here are all Simulated Universe Resonance Interplays in Honkai: Star Rail.
