This guide lists all Paths in Honkai Star Rail while talking about their respective Aeons and what benefits each Path offers.
Path is a gameplay mechanic in Honkai Star Rail that governs a playable character's entire kit, including its passive and active abilities, in-game beliefs, and other such things.
Since the addition of Paths in the game is a massive shift from the usual Element system that Hoyoverse has followed in its past games, many Honkai Star Rail players often get confused about it.
In the wake of that, we are here with a handy guide that explains everything you need to know about Honkai Star Rail Paths.
What Are Paths In Honkai Star Rail?
Paths are the gathering of imaginary energy which is born as manifestations of universal philosophical concepts corresponding to an Aeon.
In simple words, they are similar to elements in Genshin Impact, where each element has its corresponding Archon that follows a certain belief and principle.
As of writing this guide, Honkai Star Rail offers a total of eighteen Paths in the game, where only seven of them have followers who are currently available as playable characters.
