Honkai: Star Rail features a game mode known as the “Simulated Universe,” a roguelike mode where you’re pitted against numerous tough bosses and enemies while gaining buffs to help you along the way. World 5 of the Simulated Universe features numerous enemies that can debuff your team, so bringing a party member who can cleanse these debuffs are important. Follow this guide for some tips and tricks in clearing World 5 of the Simulated Universe in Honkai: Star Rail.
To unlock World 5 of the Simulated Universe, you’ll need to clear the prior worlds before it. World 5 is pretty tricky, but you’ll be rewarded with better potential drops, relics, and prizes. World 5 of the Simulated Universe has a recommended team level of 60, but we cleared World 5 using a team of Level 50 characters and Light Cones.
World 5 of the Simulated Universe features many enemies weak to the elements of Wind, Imaginary, and Physical. Bringing characters of these elements is highly recommended. There are 13 stages in this Simulated Universe, with the final floor consisting of the Kafka boss fight.

Kafka is a difficult boss but has a relatively straightforward attack pattern. Kafka has three phases for you to fight. For our strategy, we stacked Remembrance buffs to permafreeze Kafka. Some things to keep in mind going into this fight: if you take too many turns to defeat Kafka, she may go berserk and increase her damage dramatically. If you are running Abundance or Preservation to tank her, you’ll still want to proceed at a brisk pace.

During phase 1, Kafka is joined by two Cloud Knights Patrollers. They are weak to Fire, Wind, and Imaginary. If you have your Blessing up, you should be able to ignore them and eventually defeat them with AoE attacks. Focus on Kafka first to proceed through the first phase. If you are using Remembrance, trigger your Blessing to Freeze Kafka and her foes, which should delay their action. You can interweave this with other Freeze buffs you potentially picked up, while also stacking slows and turn delays from characters like Dan Heng and Welt.

(Tip: If you manage to gain two Blessing buffs for Remembrance, take the one that provides Eonian River, which can freeze Kafka for an extra turn.)

During phase 2, Kafka will begin the main gimmick for this boss. Her Psychological Suggestion attack can apply the “Psychological Suggestion” debuff to multiple allies. If you let this debuff run too long, your allies will become “Dominated.” When an ally is Dominated, they will attack your fellow allies. Less devastating is the damage you take from allies, here, and the fact that this takes away one of your turns. Prevent this by using cleanse abilities from characters like March 7th or Natasha.

During phase 3, Kafka gains extra attacks to whittle down your team. You’ll want to prevent any Domination during this phase, especially for your defensive units, to avoid death. If an ally does end up becoming Dominated, you can still cleanse them with any debuff cleanse.

Once you clear this phase, you’ll have defeated Kafka. You’ll unlock World 6, which features an even trickier boss. Honkai: Star Rail is available via its official website.
