The Simulated Universe expands once more in Honkai: Star Rail with the Gold and Gears mode, where players can fight their way to unlock the Erudition path in the regular SU. And just like in Swarm Disaster, we have plenty of new, interesting Path Resonance Interplays to mess with.
What Are Resonance Interplays in Honkai: Star Rail?
Exclusive to the special modes in Simulated Universe, Resonance Interplays add extra effects to the base Resonance effect, much like Resonance Formation. But instead of getting them by getting more Blessing of the chosen path, Interplays are obtained by getting three Blessings from a different path.
The Erudition Path Resonance upgrades once you obtain three Nihility Blessings, for example. And since stocking tons of Blessings is way easier in the special SU game modes compared to regular play, you’re often obtaining those resonances by simply playing as usual. Each path has two Interplays per game mode, and both can be active at the same time alongside the respective Resonance Formations.
Resonance Interplays from Swarm Disaster are different from the ones in Gold and Gears. Neither of them is available in regular SU gameplay.
All Gold and Gears Path Resonance Interplays Listed
There’s a total of 18 Resonance Interplays available. Getting one requires six Blessings (three for your base Path and three for the Interplay) and can be a huge upgrade for your team depending on your current characters/builds.

Despite having even crazier buffs, Gold and Gears present equally bigger challenges to overcome, so choosing your blessings wisely is impervious to success. And the Stellar Jade rewards, alongside many others, are more than worth your struggle if you’re going for the upcoming characters.
