Honkai: Star Rail offers a variety of experiences. Simulated Universe can be pretty fun, especially if you like its combat system, and it offers good rewards. Blessings are a big part of winning battles with ease, and they can dictate your success.
This is where Curios comes into play. The more you explore the Simulated Universe, the more Curios you earn. They can greatly improve your blessings or your party in general, making them valuable assets. However, some of them can also harm you. Choosing the best is the key to success.
8 dimension reduction dice
This antique allows you to choose an additional blessing after winning a battle, but you must choose one blessing in the equation. But even under those conditions, dimensionality reduction dice are very useful. The more blessings there are, the higher the chance of winning, and there are times when you have to choose just one when there are many good blessings.
It’s a low-risk, high-reward situation. It’s possible that this antique will reduce your available blessings by one, but it will still more than compensate with the blessings to choose from. However, please note that it will disappear when used twice.
7 Chaos Trametes
You may be hesitant when Blessing isn’t good, as it requires Cosmic Shards to reset. Curio exists to alleviate such concerns. It works very simply, and gives you an extra free Blessing reset when you pick it up after winning a battle.
It may sound unimpressive, but in practice it can be of great help. There are times when your luck is down, and you can pick up a bad blessing pool. Chaos Trametes lets you reset and make better choices for free.
6 lucky glue
The blessings you receive come in various rarities, and you’ll definitely want to have a higher rarity whenever you can help with them. However, luck isn’t always on your side and you may end up seeing more 1-star rare blessings than anything else.
If you’ve got Fortune Glue in your hand, you don’t have to worry too much, as all blessings that appear are guaranteed to be 3-star rarities. However, this Curio is destroyed once activated, so use it wisely. Pair with Chaos Trametes to get even more value with the free 3-star rarity Blessing Refresh.
5 records beyond the sky
This Curio can really save your bacon, especially against pesky enemies, especially bosses. All damage taken by a character at the start of combat is negated until attacked. Also becomes immune to debuffs for 3 turns. However, Damage Over Time still has an effect.
That’s why Record From Beyond The Sky is a lifesaver when you have to face a boss who likes to attack first and use debuffs. This Curio can turn the tables and increase your win rate even more. Also, it cannot be destroyed after being activated a certain number of times.
4 doctor gown
Path Resonance is a mechanism that can help you in an emergency, so boosting your energy is always a good idea. Maximizing energy usually doesn’t happen very quickly, so you need to plan how to use it wisely. But with The Doctor’s Robe, you don’t have to hesitate any longer.
In addition to maxing out your Path Resonance Energy with each battle, it also increases your Path Resonance DMG by a whopping 40%. Best of all, this Curio never expires, making it one of the strongest you can get. Be prepared to spam Path Resonance.
three infinite recursion code
Be careful with Code Curios, as they negatively affect your character for three battles before being modified and turned into a positive effect. Infinite recursive code could be one of the best antiques if you can get past its downside in three battles.
Skill points are required to use a character’s skills, and basic attacks restore 1 skill point. This Curio costs one extra skill point each time your character uses a skill, so you’ll need to plan more carefully while the skill is active. However, after 3 battles, each time the character uses a basic attack, they recover 1 additional skill point, allowing them to use the skill much more often.
2 punk road spirit
Taking advantage of your opponent’s weaknesses is a good way to ensure victory. It’s almost a staple of turn-based games. This Curio guarantees that for 3 turns all enemies in combat will have an added weakness equal to one of your characters.
This is useful if your team doesn’t have a lot of different types of characters, but if there are, they have a 100% weakness chance, making it much easier to defeat even the strongest enemies.
One always eat parchment
This antique looks menacing, but thankfully it’s only a menace to enemies. Each time you enter battle, take damage proportional to 30% of all enemies’ max HP. This makes combat quicker and automatically reduces the chance of your character being annoyingly killed by a near-death enemy.
It also helps you deal with enemies who are on the tank side or whose characters cannot cover their weaknesses. A large part of the secret to success is to damage your opponents before they damage you, and this Curio certainly helps with that.
