The new Swarm Disaster mode is the definitive endgame content that Honkai: Star Rail could only imagine. With a difficult, yet delightful update released to the Simulated Universe, there’s an infinity of tools ready to aid you when fighting the swarm, and the new Resonance Interplays is one of them. Let’s take a look at all Path Resonance Interplays in Honkai: Star Rail below.
What Are Resonance Interplays in Honkai: Star Rail?
Exclusive to Swarm Disaster mode, these resonances are obtained by getting at least three Blessings from your base Path and three more of a different path that can make an Interplay with the first one. They apply special effects when the base resonance is used. The Hunt + the Elation Interplay applies an extra Speed buff for the whole team, for example.
Given how easy is to get extra blessings in Swarm Disaster compared to regular SU, it’s fairly easy to get an Interplay early on. There are two interplays for each path, and more could be added in another future update.
Both Interplays for each path can be obtained in a single run. You can theoretically even get all of your base Resonance upgrades as well as both Interplays, but that would require at least 20 Blessings in total.
