Honkai: Star Rail: Anomaly Arbitration Pearl and SW999 Team Guide

To clear Anomaly Arbitration stages using an E0S0 Pearl setup in Honkai: Star Rail, equip Pearl and SW999 with high Speed relic sub-stats so they take their turns before your primary damage dealer, and use Aventurine in your survival slot to keep the team's skill point (SP) budget positive.

Pearl and SW999 Turn Order and Utility

Even at E0S0 without signature Light Cones or Eidolons, Pearl functions alongside SW999 to apply consistent defense reductions and weakness debuffs. Because high-difficulty Anomaly Arbitration encounters feature large enemy health pools, debuff uptime is essential for staying within turn cycle limits.

• Speed Requirements: Prioritize Speed sub-stats on relics for both Pearl and SW999. They must act before your main DPS unit in the turn queue to ensure debuffs are active during primary damage windows.
• Debuff Sequence: Have SW999 and Pearl apply their weakness and defense debuffs immediately before your damage dealer acts. Moving out of sequence reduces the damage output achieved per turn cycle.
• E0S0 Limitations: Operating without Eidolons or signature Light Cones reduces your baseline error margin. Tight turn timing and strict skill management are required to avoid missing clear windows.

Skill Point Economy with Aventurine

Running dual debuffers increases SP consumption. Aventurine stabilizes the composition by providing defensive shielding while operating as an SP-positive unit, generating excess skill points for Pearl and SW999.

Anomaly Arbitration Combat Guidelines

Anomaly Arbitration stages feature environmental modifiers and multiple elite enemies appearing simultaneously. Clear success depends on balancing turn order with target prioritizations:

1. Verify Turn Order: Check character Speed stats before entering the stage. Ensure SW999 acts first, followed by Pearl, then your primary DPS, and finally Aventurine.
2. Balance Coverage: Ensure your chosen DPS unit brings sufficient area-of-effect damage to handle simultaneous elite spawns alongside strong single-target burst.
3. Adjust for Resistance: While SW999 implants elemental weaknesses, extreme stage-specific elemental resistances may still penalty output. Swap damage dealers to match the predominant stage weakness when necessary.
