Enemies on the second difficulty in World 3 become much more dangerous, but the reward for passing will be five-star relics.
The virtual universe is one of the most interesting game modes in Honkai: Star Rail. For the passage of each of the worlds, many valuable rewards are available, if, of course, you manage to defeat all opponents, including bosses. Starting from World 3, you will be able to choose the difficulty - the higher it is, the more valuable the relics and planar decorations you receive will be.
World 3 in the Virtual Universe on difficulty II can cause you big problems during the race, especially if you have only reached the 3rd level of Equilibrium by this point. The final boss of World 3 is the Cheetah - one of the most dangerous opponents in this mode.

Virtual World Guide 3 (difficulty 2)
On the second difficulty in World 3, the Cheetah becomes even more deadly than before, and this time it is protected by three groups of opponents. The battle with him is divided into three phases, which are switched depending on the remaining reserves of HP, and at the beginning of each phase, he summons two allies. If the enemies in the first two phases do not pose a particular threat, then in the final phase you will have a battle with two elite opponents, so prepare for this in advance.
| Phase | Enemies | Element Vulnerability |
| 1 | Silvermane Guard Soldier and Silvermane Guard Cannoneer | Windy, Quantum and Physical, Icy, Imaginary |
| 2 | Silvermane Guard Cannoneer | Physical, Icy, Imaginary |
| 3 | Silvermane Lieutenant | Physical, Ice, Quantum |
The Cheetah does not stun or steal characters, but after several turns of each phase, it creates a huge shield that protects its entire squad. You need to deplete the entire scale of the shield's durability, and only after that you can deal damage to the boss and summoned enemies. Keep in mind that the shield temporarily removes all the vulnerabilities of the enemies, so it is recommended to deal with Cheetah's allies as quickly as possible. Otherwise, three immortal opponents will remain on the battlefield.
Tip: If you manage to quickly kill Cheetah's allies before summoning the shield, then this will make the fight much easier. However, the Cheetah will still create a shield even if left without allies.
During the passage of World 3 of the Virtual Universe on difficulty II, it is best to choose the Paths of Preservation, Memory and Abundance. Paths of Preservation and Abundance can provide you with reliable protection: in particular, the blessings of the Path of Preservation protect you from Cheetah's attacks while he and his minions try to break through your shield, causing damage to themselves. And the Path of Abundance will allow you to stock up on an impressive amount of health, even with the Resonance of the Path. However, if you take the Memory Path during the run, you can deal massive damage with the Decay effect and hold back with the Freeze effect.
As for the characters, you need to assemble a squad that can deal not only with the Cheetah, but also with all the other opponents that can be found on difficulty II in World 3. The fact is that many mini-bosses have a vulnerability to the ice element, then as the Cheetah has just the ice type of damage and is not particularly susceptible to the characters of this element. However, this can be remedied by collecting as many blessings of the Path of Memory as possible. It is recommended to take characters with physical and electrical damage types into the squad - they will be able to defeat both the mini-bosses encountered in the race and the Cheetah himself.

The Path of Preservation contains a lot of great blessings that can be used in any of the worlds presented in the Virtual Universe. Once you have collected enough Preservation Blessings and obtained Divine Construct: Metastatic Field, you will be able to watch enemies kill themselves by attacking your shields. Of course, to unleash the full potential of the blessings of Preservation, you'll need to build a decent squad whose members are capable of constantly building and maintaining shields.
While the Path of Preservation is geared towards a defensive playstyle (you need to buff defense stats to buff damage), many of the blessings of this Path depend on Quake damage, which can be boosted with damage and crit buffs. chances.

Memory Path in Virtual World 3 (difficulty 2)
- F2P Squad: Serval, Physical Damage Trailblazer, March 7, Natasha.
- Best Squad: Yanqing, Cheetah, Welt, Bailu.
Other eligible characters:
- DPS character: Clara and Sushan.
- Support character: Tingyun and Sang.
The Path of Memories is a rather risky method of completing World 3 on difficulty 3, as the final boss, the Cheetah, is a frost damage type character. However, if you correctly assemble the squad build, then all the risks will be justified. Most mini-bosses in World XNUMX are vulnerable to ice, so the characters of this element will be of great use to you. And to reduce the resistance of the Cheetah itself to frost damage, you will need the blessings of Resonance Shaping: Total Recall, as well as Experience: Unspeakable Shame.
If you manage to get the Ultimate Experience: Chill blessing during your run, then sooner or later you will be able to inflict Ice Vulnerability on the Cheetah after using one of your heroes' ultimate. However, the strongest point of the Path of Memory is its Decay effect, which deals passive damage. If you collect a few blessings that improve this effect, then you will get to the final boss with an incredible amount of damage. To unlock the full potential of Decay, you will need the Perfect Experience: Fuli blessing.
If you choose to follow the Path of Remembrance, the following blessings are recommended:

Path of Abundance in Virtual World 3 (difficulty 2)
- F2P Squad: Serval, Physical Damage Trailblazer, March 7, Natasha.
- Best Squad: Clara, Welt, Serval, Bailu.
Path of Abundance is perhaps the easiest way to complete VR World 3 on difficulty XNUMX. His blessings are mainly aimed at healing and protecting your characters. However, unlike the Save Path, here you don't need to have multiple healers on your team to take full advantage of the effects of the blessings. One healer in the squad will be more than enough, since Resonance of Abundance will be responsible for all the effects of healing, buffing heroes and activating passive skills. It is recommended to pick up Resonance Shaping: Anatta at the first opportunity, as this blessing will allow you to heal allies consistently.
The ideal squad for completing World 3 on the second difficulty would be Clara, Welt, Serval and Bailu. Clara will be able to protect all her comrades with her ult, at the same time causing tremendous damage to opponents. Serval and Welt act as the core of the entire squad, as they are able to place debuffs on enemies and unleash powerful attacks. If you are planning to build a team of F2P characters, be sure to include Pathfinder with physical damage, Serval Mart 7 and Natasha.
