Honkai: Star Rail Resonance Interplay Guide

Honkai: Star Rail Version 1.3 was a massive update. Not only did we get Dan Heng – Imbibitor Lunae and a new map for the Xianzhou Loufu, but we also got a new mode of the Simulated Universe. Curios, Blessings, and domains still exist, but you can’t get Planar Orbs from this version. Instead, you can collect a lot of Stellar Jade if you can complete all of the missions.

How It Works

Swarm Disaster introduces a new feature to Path Resonance. In addition to your base Path, you can receive extra Path Resonance effects called Resonance Interplay. This feature combines two resonance effects into an extra buff for your team. Each Path has two Resonance Interplay Blessings.

To get the Resonance Interplay Blessings, you need at least three Blessings from your base Path and three Blessings from another Path. Most likely, more Resonance Interplay Blessings will be added with future updates. For now, know which Paths can resonate with each other.

You can easily get both Resonance Interplay Blessings in one run. If you play your cards right, you may also complete your base Path Formation. You will need at least 20 Blessings in one run: 6 for Resonance Interplay and 14 from your base Path. Path Formation stays the same: you’ll receive Resonance Formation Blessings at 6, 10, and 14 Blessings.

Available Path Resonance Interplays

Since Swarm Disaster adds the Path of Propagation, there are a total of 16 Resonance Interplay Blessings that you can acquire. You need to complete all Swarm Disaster Chapters in order to unlock the Path of Propagation. However, you can get Propagation Blessings from Swarm domains, so you can activate the Resonance Interplay Blessings for Nihility and Abundance.
