Propagation
Last updated 2026-03-26
Propagation is a non-playable Path in Honkai: Star Rail. It corresponds with the Aeon Tayzzyronth.
The Path is also accessible as a Blessing Path in the Simulated and Divergent Universe game modes.
Description
"Hurry and shut your doors and windows if shadows appear at the noontide horizon, for that is no early dusk but the hungering Swarm."
Tayzzyronth, also known as the Imperator Insectorum, the Sand King, and the creator of the Swarm Disaster.
As the last member of the Coleoptera that rules the land, THEIR Path was ignited out of a desire born from loneliness. Tayzzyronth metamorphosed into a self-duplicating horror, a torrent of infinite propagation. Tayzzyronth — Tayzzyronths rather — fluttered across the worlds until THEIR advances were halted by fate in some way.
