Hunt/Destruction if you have good DPS, Nihility if you don't have good DPS but have a good breaker, Elation for Clara, Preservation for March/Gepard and Abundance is universal. You can still clear with any paths, but that's my experience after testing a bunch of paths.

You missed one thing that's worth noting. The first resonance upgrade you take that drops your HP to 40% takes the HP you consumed and turns it into shields at a 1:1 ratio that lasts for 2 turns. Natasha can effectively become a discount Gepard in this setup by using her ultimate right before you use the resonance, as it will turn her healing that goes above 40% HP directly into shields.

[@v-7815]

Honestly, every path performs really well. I hope they don't go around nerfing stuff eventually. For my team comp I found that The Hunt gives me the fastest clear times so thats what I've been using

[@Cer049]

Abundance with dewdrops deals as much damage as hunt path from my testing the whole "takes forever" argument is tor when youre missing dewdrop legendary blessings, otherwise the runs are fairly quick

[@Cypressus750]

I never understood what dewdrop does can u explain?

[@kimzhanzo4879]

dewdrop charges when healed and damage enemy when attacked, can also heal or dispel debuff with a specific abundance blessing

[@ahmadrehanalfariz5920]

Abundance sure is really slow, but its the safest for auto. Hunt are better for speed clear because resonance that charges every enemy kills, combined with red cape that does max resonance at start battle, everything is OTK.

[@Cer049]

@@ahmadrehanalfariz5920 I'm almost done maxing my ability tree I've farmed... A few runs to say the least using every path and the difference between hunt and abundance comes down to a few minutes. Best case scenario hunt is obviously much faster but on average they're like 5mins~ apart, people underestimate just how much damage you deal with dewdrops (average 10k+ bonus dmg every turn and higher if I let the dewdrop charge via resonance/bailu healing)

[@fredxu99]

Destruction got me through World 3 Difficulty 2. Couldn't break Gepard's shield in time with Preservation, healing doesn't work if you just get one-shot when using Abundance, I can break the shields but I get one-shot in phase 3 when using Hunt, so a mix of all 3 with Destruction actually worked out!

[@metaknight9322]

Damn bro, I had an easy time on the hunting path with Seele, and I got even easier on the destruction path with my Gepard, Gepard (boss) and his Minions didn't deal more than 400 shield damage... My Seele, Quake and Ricochet Damage nuked them out XD

[@fredxu99]

@@metaknight9322 I switched to Hunt after getting Tingyun, who basically made it so Seele could 2-shot Gepard with Hunt buffs. But I didn't have Tingyun until yesterday, so yeah...

[@geebeepman]

I used to only run preservation and nihility but while trying to collect them all for stellar jades, I changed my favorites to destruction and the hunt.

[@simonaiota4233]

Thank you for this, I was reluctant to choose this path but this is how I beat world 4. So thank you so much for the advice!

[@Timmy1979]

With Gepard, path of preservation is broken.

[@boybusilakbikes]

Hey, thank you for this tip. I've been using hunt and abundannce and couldn't clear 2nd stages. Cleared it just now. Most useful tip I've seen on youtube vids so far. You definitely gained a subscriber.

[@reizshfelonia6471]

thank you so much for this, i managed to beat World 6 with only level 50 characters. Fyi i used Gepard, Natasha, Seele and Serval. They managed quite well. But it took so long for 1 battle to finish.

[@iankmak]

Rememberance is the best imo if you're packing Yang Qing and March. You can get the Nihility buffs that increase weakness break and weakness break on followup attack for like +100% weakness break. Then you can give enemies ice weakness when you use an ult. If you get the ultimates count as followup attacks. You can pack so much weakness break and freeze, they essentially don't get a turn ever. Plus the freeze every 5-6 attack card. That one is ridiculous too. Rememberance is offensive but the freeze effect is defensive. So you kinda play both sides so you always come out on top

[@Jexter420]

16:25 i respect you letting hook get the final word for the expedition..

[@Jexter420]

Ps: i usually mix building the path a little bit.. so path of hunt with elation ult follow up dmg boost is usually my playstyle if possible.. because well.. rng..

[@tienluuquyet5069]

you earned a new sub today sir, now I knew ­what I will choose next time

[@EPE77U]

Another fun strategy that works surprisingly well even on auto is to use path of hunt with 50% crit resonance and team of dmg dealer + 2 shielders + healer. My team was seele, march, bailu and fire mc but I assume it can also work with natasha and different carry I completed world 3 and 4 difficulty 2 with auto when I failed to do that with abundance/preservation paths

[@nexcipher6229]

Destruction seems really fun, I shall try it for my next run! I am personally running Elation since I've got Clara. The team being Clara, Welt (he is replaceable but he's fun and shreads shields), March and Bailu. The Dance Dance Revolution ability is tons of fun and it's just obnoxious how much damage both Clara and March deal with the counters. Like, World 3, Gepard hits Clara, BOOM you just lost a health bar Geppie. It's hilarious xD I might try Destruction with Clara as well, and see what happens. She already has dmg reduction so she'd be essentially an immortal, countering machine lol

[@santo2sexy]

Tectones stayed defending destruction and now every is seeing how strong it is, good video tho.

[@chantararix]

This path carried my Gepard in solo (bcoz everyone else died) at the last HP bar of Kafka. It was nuts considering that Kafka's attacks generated my energy so quick I could refresh my shield every other turn. Gepard alone could do nothing but just survive and the path resonance was the one cheesing Kafka.

[@muhammadsoleh4725]

I can imagine Kalpas feeling proud right now

[@Kamishi845]

I've been using Elation a lot because my main carry is Yanqing, and the damage is just absolutely bonkers as long he keeps proc'ing his passive. I've paired it with some Remembrance cards that proc ice weakness and splash damage plus the card where follow-up also splash, essentially making him great at everything. If you get the card where the ult counts as follow-up, that's when you begin to see crazy team damage if your other team members have damage ults.

[@MariGuriVT]

oh my gosh this video actually helped so much in helping me beat svarog. as soon as I finished the video, I tried it out with fire mc, natasha, seele, and bronya and it worked so well. i knew fire mc was good but she was a GOD at staying alive and keeping everyone alive. there were close calls but it all worked out wonderfully.

[@kookio4284]

I’ve been finding a lot of love in Preservation after I realized I could just spam shields and then nuke with Preservation. Eapecially with the curio that gives you the Preservation at the beginning of the match, increases the damage by 40%. I’ve hit around 20k+ with it alone and basically one shot entire floors with it. And whatever isn’t nuked is usually Seele food besides bosses of course. Those take a bit longer. But Imma try Destruction for fun and see what I get out of it lol

[@heromedley]

[@ryenzo1436]

I use Destruction + Preservation combo, once i unlock 2 path resonance i usually go for Preservation blessings to strengthen Destruction's shields

[@metaknight9322]

That Quake damage from the Path of Preservation goes so well with the Path of Destruction, my god!, It's insane... These two paths complement each other perfectly

[@Cyrenalux]

Ironic considering they are polar opposites from each other..

[@Mijoulin]

The best path depends on your team. I have Gepard, so with preservation enemies not only cannot touch your HP through the shields, but with the right buff (upgraded Quake damage 3 star) they will also just kill themselves while running against your shields in no time, so it really doesn't matter if your dps character is upgraded. I have beaten world 6 while on equilibrium 2 (so level 49 characters against 65 Kafka) with maybe 4 relics on level 6 just for bigger shields on Gepard.

[@Salty_Gacha_Gamer]

Path of destruction is basically Kalpas Signets from HIs Elysian Realm but it's a bit more comfortable since the enemies aren't one shotting your shield or 50% hp. Honkai it was kinda squishy before Kalpas Signets 2 came

from what I've experienced is that all paths I played were broken, except for nihility, but I can't utilize that path correctly bc I don't have Sampo only Serval isn't enough and Kafka takes time to be a banner. I think all paths are super strong if you play them right

[@blacksiopao]

you need the Nihility resonance where every DoT you regain 3% for your R. if you have that you'll have it up every cycle

All the paths are OP as heck if completed. All DPS team with abundance or hunt. Heck, a healer/tank team with nility will four turn each svarog phase in dif2 lol.

[@vRixsky]

[@arnoldvito9415]

you should try the remembrance path resonance next. the enemy will almost never move because of perma-freeze lol

[@cynthiastarcrossed]

Yuup I've been saying this. My Seele does 170k+ ults using destruction after galactic ticket break and I just leave her on 10-20% hp because she gets shields and healing everytime she takes any hit and all the defense and damage reduction makes her nearly immortal. Its doable on auto or if you want to manually play just to see stupidly high numbers you can.

Destruction on world 6 was amusing. Failed it first try then someone recommended destruction path and i was done with it fairly quick with barely any buffs. Same with abundance for world 5 and the hunt for world 4 tbh

[@amscuda7822]

I used the exact same paths for the exact same worlds as you and I got done with world 6 at level 35 with destruction. Later at the same level I beat it with hunt faster but with two characters dead at the end lmao. I think destruction and hunt are my go-to’s now, except for kafka ofc

[@greyzard3x]

I am using all lvl 60 Clara/Fire MC, March 7, Sampo, and Serval while using full nihility buff for world 5. And so far I am generating 30-57k of dot on Kafka. Any suggestion on how to further my dot damage? Currently I don't have good light cone and relic since I don't know which one to use and how to get a better substat. Tia.

[@padung6018]

To build up your Destruction, always pick combat because it is the easy way to get new blessing. Pick new blessing always on Herta's menu, and if there's no combat on the path, pick the ones that will give you an opportunity to battle to win new blessing. And the best thing about Destruction is that you can also pick preservation on blessings because higher level of destruction gives you a shield. I don't need the entropy something, so I manage to complete all destruction or leaving one left, which is the entrophy one. And always get the curio that gives you a discount on resetting a blessing.

[@pokemonhikerchris4839]

preservation if you have gepard is wild too

[@dinocharlie1]

Fun fact: unlike other % driven stats, damage reduction actually INCREASES in value the more of it you get. For eample. the first 20% defense you get is stronger than the next 20%, because 20% on top of 100 defense is 120 which is a 20% increase (duh) but the next 20% puts you at 140, which is only ~17% more. This only gets worse at higher numbers which is why everyone says spread your stats between elemental, crit and attack. Thet each have that "honeymoon phase" at the start that falls off if you have too much of one. BUT damage reduction is different. An extreme example is 1% vs 2% and 98% vs 99% %. If you take 100 damage and it's reduced by 1% it's 99 damage, and 2% is 98 damage, less than a 2% change. But if we look at 98 vs 99, we see from that 100 damage, you now take either 2 or 1 damage, meaning that last 1% is worth as much as the previous 98% at this point. (And if you get to 100% you literally take no damage, so infinite gains.)

[@Edanite]

[@Shalothex]

Honestly all of the paths can be viable depending on what team your using. I tried an elation path run on world 6 last night running seele/himeko/asta/natasha, and by the end himeko and seele were doing such obnoxious levels of damage because of the ult-follow up damage blessing letting all of the elation blessings apply to ults, they were taking over half of cocolia's lifebar per ult, it was actually kinda crazy. If you want crazy glass cannon burst damage, I cant recommend elation enough.

mix destruction and hunt... and if you can get nihility's break efficiency and effect blessing or Preservations 80% chance to grant character 12% shield after the turn which you can upgrade to make it 100% chance of 15% shield you can practically take on any simulated universe

[@ArtSawce]

simulated universe at this point is just baby difficulty. Memory of chaos is where the fun starts

[@sehanaj]

IMO after running Simulated Universe to the point that i almost maxed out the tree. Abundance is extremely broken as you can auto the entire playthrough but it is slow until you get the blessing which increases your dmg based on your hp% and the tear dmg bonus. Elation is very good if you have Clara as you can beat Gepard in World 3 Difficulity 2 in under 6 turns with March 7th (Best blessing is the one which converts your ultimate into follow up damage making my seele hit over 70k easy. The hunt seems the most broken as i have killed bosses just by using the resonance skill + it gives rly good blessing overall. Destruction seems like a hit or miss most of the time for me.
