Honkai: Star Rail's Simulated Universe offers an engaging gameplay experience where players engage in battles and make strategic choices at various junctures. One of the most favored options among players is the 'occurrence' route, known for its diverse effects and the ability to swiftly fill up the Simulated Universe Index, granting rewards like Stellar Jade. Among the intriguing occurrences within this simulated realm, the Insect Nest stands out as a commonly encountered event.
Delving into the Insect Nest in Honkai: Star Rail
Upon initiating the Insect Nest occurrence in Honkai: Star Rail's Simulated Universe, players face a pivotal choice: proceed deeper into the nest or halt at the entrance. Opting to pause rewards players with 100 Cosmic Fragments immediately, while venturing further presents additional options. Choosing to 'hug it' grants a 3-star Blessing and the Insect Web Curio, while waiting for the lurking danger within results in a 2-star Blessing but at the cost of 50% HP for all characters.
In the Simulated Universe's Swarm Disaster scenario, players can make further decisions on the Destruction or Preservation Path. The former yields three random 1-2 star Blessings after surviving a 3-wave Swarm battle, whereas the latter, a less risky choice, provides one 1-2 star Blessing of Preservation and one 1-2 star Blessing of Propagation at no expense.
Understanding the Insect Web Curio in Honkai: Star Rail
The Insect Web Curio in Honkai: Star Rail introduces the 'Parasitized' debuff on the character with the highest ATK, causing them to lose 20% of their current HP at the beginning of each turn. However, in exchange, the character receives a substantial 50% boost in ATK. Should the debuffed character be incapacitated, the debuff transfers randomly to another party member.
While the Insect Web Curio can be advantageous with a capable healer like Luocha in the team, lacking adequate healing support makes it a risky choice. The debuff persists throughout battles until removed by specific Curios or occurrences.
