In Honkai: Star Rail, the Divergent Universe is an offshoot of the Virtual Universe created by Skrullum and has a number of significant differences. As a reward for completing it, you can receive planar decorations: the Lotus Lantern of the Palace and the Duran Wolf Dynasty, as well as star jades and upgrade materials. In this guide, we will tell you how to open and complete all levels.
How to open the Divergent Universe
This is a new game mode that became available after the release of update 2.3, but before you can try it out, you will need to fulfill a couple of conditions, namely:
- Reach at least 24 level of Mastery.
- Complete the “Relish” adventure mission, during which you will go through World 3 of the main Virtual Universe for the first time.
Having dealt with the specified requirements, you should automatically receive a special quest, the completion of which opens the corresponding activity. We will tell you more about it after the update is released.
Vision of completion
Note that if you have reached Mastery level 21, then a new function will open to you – Vision of completion, thanks to which you You will be able to try out content for which you have not yet met the opening conditions. This also applies to the Divergent Universe, that is, you will not necessarily complete the “Relish” task.
Basics and rules of the Divergent Universe
First of all, we note that this mode will be constantly updated. In addition, some of the content of The Divergent Universe: Comedy of Life will also receive regular updates with new rewards. Next, let's look at the main features of this game activity.
Intelligence Progress
In short, exploration of the Divergent Universe is similar to exploration of the Virtual Universe. You will need to complete 13 zones to complete the challenge. Dimension I includes zones 1 to 4, Dimension II includes zones 6-9, and Dimension III includes zones 10-13. At the end of each Dimension you will have to fight a boss.
Approximation level
After completing exploration, you will receive approximation points, the size of which depends on the progress made. They are necessary to raise the level of approximation, which in turn allows you to receive additional rewards.
The reward will be updated after a certain period of time. You can find out when the rewards will change using the countdown.
Normal calculation and Cyclic calculation
Regular calculations are permanent and have 5 levels of difficulty. Once you complete them, you can use the Threshold Protocol to further increase the difficulty.
In cyclical calculations, special game content is updated on a weekly basis. For your first completion per week, you can get additional rewards. In these challenges, you can choose from both open difficulty levels and Threshold Protocols.
Completing both Normal and Loop Calculations will earn you Virtual Universe Points.
Equations
Equations are the most important aspect of the mode, as they can provide more powerful buffs than blessings. However, they can only be obtained under certain conditions. To activate the equation, you must receive a certain number of blessings of a particular Path.
Take the Thirsty Punishments equation as an example. To get it, you will need to collect 2 Blessings of the Hunt and 3 Blessings of Nothingness. If the blessings obtained meet the requirements, then you will be able to activate several equations at once.
Weighted Curiosities
Weighted Curiosities are unique artifacts of the Divergent Universe. They are more difficult to obtain than regular ones, but the effect is noticeably stronger. Heroes who receive boosts from these items will be specially marked in the general list (see second screenshot below).
Free team customization and value scaling system
In this mode, you can freely change heroes in any moment of time. There are no restrictions. So you can easily adjust your squad to the situation that arises.
However, you won't have to worry about the levels of characters, relics, light cones and tracks not meeting the test, since they will all automatically increase when fulfillment of certain conditions.
Creature Workbench
In some areas of the Divergent Universe, you will encounter Ruan Mei's creation workbenches, where you can spend space fragments to reset current equations and blessings or spending warmth to enhance existing blessings.
In a number of creature workbenches located in special areas, you can even removing or enhancing weighted curiosities.
Inspiration Chain
As you explore the Divergent Universe, you will be able to gain the inspiration needed to activate the Inspiration Chain, which provides additional boosts. The main difference from previous versions is the ability to restart the skill tree at any time, returning all spent inspiration points and rebuilding the entire chain again.
Gallery of Probabilities and Stable Array
The passage to the Divergent Universe is located on the Radiant Spar and is a decoration of the airship. It also houses the Probability Gallery, which showcases blessings, curiosities, and equations obtained by the player through challenges.
You will be able to place the received exhibits on empty pedestals to receive additional power-ups . In addition, collecting them will give you various rewards, including star jades.
As for the Stable Array, it is a list of objectives that can be completed in the Divergent Universe to obtain new rewards. These functions also have a countdown, and when completed, all the prizes will be expanded.
Save files and retrieving Planar Decorations
When completing the Divergent Universe, you can use save files to instantly jump to the boss battle – this will significantly speed up the acquisition of the necessary Planar Decorations.
To do this, you must first go through the Normal calculation and the Loop calculation of the Virtual Universe and create the corresponding save file. Then just use it to quickly start the boss fight.
Note that the save file includes data about equations, blessings and curiosities, but has no information about the detachment. For this reason, you can freely change heroes in the team and add one support character.
We add that there will be no scaling system for characteristics act in boss battles designed to quickly farm Planar Jewelry.
