Honkai: Star Rail is in for a number of updates, arriving with Version 2.6: Annals of Pinecany’s Mappou Age on October 23. Among other exciting additions, Simulated Universe is in for a major expansion. Titled Unknowable Domain, it will offer a similar wealth of content to that of Swarm Disaster and Gold & Gears. To bring Trailblazers up to speed on what they can expect in the new SU, the developers have shared the special highlights page. Let’s check it out!
First things first, the mysterious figure greeting Trailblazers on the page is likely the Herta herself, the real deal instead of the bionic puppets. Not only did Screwllum and Dr. Ratio poach the Trailblazers from testing her system with their DU, but there are some graphic elements indicating her identity. The color scheme, the flower in the hair, the bird avatar. Playable 5-star Emanator of Erudition Herta when?
The Unknowable Domain is a new Simulated Universe game mode revolving around using Scepters and Components. Scepters have their unique combat effects and activation conditions. At the start of each run, players will get one Scepter automatically. Additional Scepters can be obtained by defeating bosses, clearing Occurrences and paying the hefty price in stores. A maximum of 3 Scepters can be equipped for each run.
The page demonstrates four gameplay types and the corresponding Scepters & Components: Ultimate-driven, DoT, Follow-up Attacks and Break Damage. The game mode’s data will be added to the Battle Records as well so you can show off before your friends or other HoYoLAB users.
