Honkai: Star Rail Remembrance Path Explained: Simulated Universe Mechanics
Among all the Paths available in the Simulated Universe, the Path of Remembrance (led by the Aeon Fuli) is arguably the most broken strategy for clearing high-difficulty content like "Swarm Disaster" and "Gold and Gears." While other paths rely on your character's stats (ATK, CRIT), Remembrance relies almost entirely on a unique mechanic called Dissociation.
If you are struggling to defeat high-HP bosses or survive one-shot mechanics, mastering the art of freezing your enemies is the answer. This guide will break down how to use Remembrance effectively, even if you don't have a perfectly built Jingliu.
Preserve Your Best Memories:
The Path of Remembrance is all about freezing moments in time. Why not do the same for your favorite characters? The Honkai: Star Rail The Memories We Share Series Acrylic Stand captures iconic moments from the Astral Express crew's journey. A perfect display piece for any Trailblazer.
1. Core Mechanic: What is Dissociation?
The entire Remembrance strategy revolves around Dissociation. This is a debuff applied by specific 3-Star Blessings.
- Effect: The enemy is considered Frozen and cannot act.
- Damage: When the Dissociation state is removed (either by attacking the enemy or waiting for their turn), they take Ice DMG equal to 30% of their Max HP.
Yes, you read that right. 30% of Max HP. This means Remembrance scales infinitely. Whether the boss has 1 million HP or 100 million HP, Dissociation will melt them.
2. Essential Blessings Priority Guide
Not all blue cards are created equal. To make this run work, you need to hunt for specific blessings in a strict order.
Tier 0: Must-Have (Restart if you don't get these)
| Blessing Name | Rarity | Why it's essential |
|---|---|---|
| Perfect Experience: Innocence | 3-Star | Applying "Weakness Break" has a 100% chance to apply Dissociation. This is your primary source of damage. |
| Perfect Experience: Fuli | 3-Star | Attacking Frozen enemies has a chance to apply Dissociation. Essential for non-Ice teams. |
| Ultimate Experience: Melancholia | 2-Star | Attacking an enemy with Dissociation removes the state immediately (dealing the damage). This speeds up your kill time drastically. |
Tier 1: Consistency Boosters
- Effect Hit Rate Boosts: Any blessing that increases Effect Hit Rate is vital. High-level bosses have high Effect RES, so you need these to ensure your freeze lands.
- Resonance Formation: First Love: This path resonance allows you to use the active skill more frequently, keeping the boss permanently locked down.
3. Best Characters for Remembrance Runs
While Ice characters have a natural advantage, you don't actually need them if you get the right blessings. However, for consistency, here are the best picks.
The Ice Queens
- Jingliu: The best DPS for this path. She freezes on break and deals massive damage to capitalize on the "Melancholia" blessing.
- March 7th (Preservation): The F2P queen of Remembrance. Her ultimate is an AoE freeze. With her Eidolons, she provides shields and counters that can also freeze.
March 7th Fan?
March is the poster girl for the Remembrance path. If she's carrying your Simulated Universe runs, she deserves a spot on your shelf or wardrobe. Check out the official March 7th Little Cat Series Merch for some adorable collectibles.
The Non-Ice Supports
- Pela: Reduces defense and removes buffs. Her ultimate charges quickly, allowing her to spam ice attacks to trigger Fuli's blessing.
- Gepard: Provides the strongest shield in the game and his skill has a high base chance to freeze enemies.
- Ruan Mei: Increases Weakness Break Efficiency. Breaking shields faster means triggering "Perfect Experience: Innocence" more often.
4. Strategy for Hard Content (Gold and Gears)
In Conundrum levels, enemies hit like trucks. Remembrance is a defensive strategy disguised as offense.
- Copy Blessings: Use dice faces that allow you to copy Reward domains. You need to stack as many 3-star blessings as possible.
- Effect Hit Rate is Life: If you see a blessing that lowers enemy Effect RES or boosts your Hit Rate, take it. If you can't freeze the final boss (like Cocolia or Swarm), you will lose.
- The "Perma-Freeze" Loop: Save your Path Resonance for when the boss is about to act. Use it to cancel their action. Then, use March 7th's ult to freeze them again.
5. FAQ: Remembrance Path
Can I use Remembrance against Cocolia (Ice Immune)?
It is difficult but possible. You need the blessing "Ultimate Experience: Shudder" which applies Ice Weakness to enemies. Without it, or specific "Ignore RES" blessings, Cocolia will resist all your freezes. It's safer to use The Hunt or Destruction against her.
Does Dissociation damage crit?
No. Dissociation deals fixed damage based on Max HP. Crit Rate and Crit DMG stats do not affect it. However, "Vulnerability" debuffs (like Pela's or Silver Wolf's) do increase the damage.
Do I need to level up my characters' traces?
For Remembrance runs, character levels and traces matter less than usual. Survival stats (HP/DEF) and Speed are more important than ATK, because the blessings do 90% of the damage.
