Honkai Star Rail: Simulated Universe World 9 Planar Ornament details

With the introduction of Simulated Universe World 9, Honkai Star Rail unveils two new sets of Planar Ornament.

1 ) Sigonia, the Unclaimed Desolation

• Link Rope: Sigonia's Knot of Cyclicality
• Planar Sphere: Sigonia's Gaiathra Berth

The wearer receives two benefits from this two-piece set. Firstly, it gives their CRIT Rate stat a straight 4% increase. Secondly, it has a stacking CRIT DMG buff. The wearer's Critical Damage increases by 4% for each adversary that falls during combat. This effect can stack up to 10 times and has a maximum 40% Critical Damage boosting potential.

However, achieving this maximum bonus requires defeating a lot of adversaries, making it more suitable for scenarios involving waves of enemies, such as the Pure Fiction mode.

2 ) Izumo Gensei and Takama Divine Realm

• Link Rope: Izumo's Blades of Origin and End
• Planar Sphere: Izumo's Magatsu no Morokami

The wearer's Attack stat receives a direct 12% boost from this two-piece set. It also has a conditional effect that activates when a battle is started. The wearer's Critical Rate increases by an additional 12% if at least one other teammate is on the same Path as the wearer. This set emphasizes raw damage potential and can be useful in team configurations designed with Path synergy in mind.
