Best teams for Honkai Star Rail Simulated Universe World 9

Acheron+ Black Swan+ Silver Wolf+ Fu Xuan

When it comes to defeating bosses in Honkai Star Rail, Acheron is a solid DPS option for the job. She can dominate elite encounters in the new Simulated Universe World with her powerful AoE abilities.

However, she will need the Black Swan and Silver Wolf's support to unleash her true potential during combat. Black Swan, in particular, can inflict DoT (Damage-over-Time) to break Something Unto Death’s Sombrous Sepulcher totems, which can otherwise be lethal.

With more sustainability from Fu Xuan’s damage mitigation ability, this team can obliterate monsters in World 9.

Kafka+ Black Swan+ Guinaifen+ Luocha

Kafka and Black Swan unite to create the best team in Honkai Star Rail. Their DoT application is extremely lethal in the Simulated Universe with the blessing of the Nihility Path. In fact, Something Unto Death stands no chance against the duo due to its susceptibility to lingering damage.

While Guinaifen further enhances their DoT effect, Luocha ensures sustainability for the team with his powerful healing abilities.

Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae+ Tingyun+ Sparkle+ Huohuo

This is a typical hypercarry team for Simulated Universe World 9, whose purpose is to brute force all the encounters. Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae is the primary DPS for the setup, and he can achieve new heights with Tingyun and Sparkle by his side.

Both the support characters can provide a variety of buffs to Lunae, including Energy Regeneration and CRIT DMG boost. Additionally, Huohuo is the perfect healer for the team, as she can cleanse allies while restoring their HP whenever necessary.
