A Guide to the Aeons in Honkai: Star Rail

by QuinnHarry 02 Oct 2025 0 comments

Aeons are powerful, godlike beings in Honkai: Star Rail. Each Aeon controls a special Path and changes the universe with their power. There are 18 different Paths, and each one has its own Aeon. These beings affect the worlds you visit, the stories you learn, and the skills your characters have. If you read the Guide to the Aeons, you will see how these cosmic forces shape every part of your journey.

Aeons Overview

What Are Aeons?

In Honkai: Star Rail, you will meet Aeons. They are beings from higher dimensions. Aeons can change reality and destroy worlds. They also help civilizations grow. Aeons have huge power and special skills. This makes them different from other characters and creatures. You can think of Aeons as rulers of galaxies. They guide what happens in space.

Aeons are not just in the background. They change life and death cycles. They shape how civilizations grow. They even affect what is right or wrong in the universe.

Here is a table that shows how Aeons are grouped by their roles:

Group

Description

The Arbiters

They control life and death cycles. They also guide civilizations (e.g., Lan, Qlipoth).

The Sacrosancts

Their morals can be hard to predict (e.g., Aha, Akivili, Nous).

The Authors of Calamity

They are linked to disasters (e.g., Nanook, Yaoshi).

Each Aeon has its own Path. Paths are like ideas that show what an Aeon is like. They explain the Aeon's powers and followers. Some Paths are called Preservation, Destruction, and Elation. The Guide to the Aeons helps you learn how these forces work.

Aeons and Paths

Aeons use their Paths in the story and gameplay. Each Path stands for a belief or idea. It is not just a type of power. For example:

  • The Path of Abundance helps with healing and support.

  • The Path of the Hunt is about hurting one enemy at a time.

  • The Path of Preservation keeps allies safe and protected.

Paths in Honkai: Star Rail are not like elements in other games. They are more about ideas. Paths change how you play and how your characters grow. If someone follows an Aeon, they can use its power. They need to feel close to the Path and be loyal. Your success depends on how well you understand and follow the Path.

Aeons and their Paths affect everything you do in the game. They change your choices and your team’s skills. They also shape how you see the universe. The Guide to the Aeons helps you learn these secrets and get better at the game.
