The Honkai Star Rail Simulated Universe can be quite confusing if you don't quite know what you're doing. Being a great way to test out new characters and unlock new items, it's worth figuring out as early as possible. In this guide, we go over what exactly Simulated Universe is, how it works, and everything else you should know.

Honkai Star Rail is the long-anticipated follow-up to Genshin Impact and with that comes a new world to explore and characters to find. If you want to get as many heroes as possible, you have to fully explore everything the game has to offer.

What is the Simulated Universe in Honkai Star Rail?

Simulated Universe is a roguelike mode in Honkai Star Rail, where you grab a basic team of heroes, make your way through floors, and earn better and stronger characters to continue moving with.

As you are given limited information and have to use heroes you are less familiar with, you should take this slowly and work through it methodically. You have to play tactically to get through it.
