Honkai Star Rail 3.7 Genius Society Explored

The universe of Honkai: Star Rail is filled with powerful factions and mysterious entities, but few capture the imagination quite like the Genius Society. These are the brightest minds in the cosmos, individuals whose intellect is so profound that they've been chosen by an Aeon. With the ongoing discussions around Honkai Star Rail star rail 3.7 genius characters and lore, it's the perfect time to take a deep dive into this exclusive club of masterminds, from their origins to their in-game impact.

What is the Genius Society?

The Genius Society is an elite group of individuals who follow the Path of Erudition. It's not a club you can simply apply to; each member is personally selected by Nous, the Aeon of Erudition. The society was founded by its very first member, Zandar One Kuwabara, who is also credited with the creation of Nous itself. Think of them as the ultimate think tank, responsible for some of the most groundbreaking scientific and technological advancements across the galaxy.

Being a member is one thing, but some are even more exceptional. A select few within the society are known as Emanators of Erudition, acting as direct extensions of the Aeon's will. So far, only two have been confirmed in the story: the founder Zandar and the delightfully eccentric master of the Herta Space Station, Herta herself. They represent the pinnacle of intellect, even among a society of geniuses.

Who Are the Known Members?

While the Genius Society is said to have 84 members, we've only been introduced to a fraction of them through lore snippets, character stories, and in-game events. Many are deceased, while the status of others remains a complete mystery. The ones we have met, however, are some of the most pivotal characters in the game. The list grows slowly, but here are some of the most notable members revealed as of 2025:

Member No.	Name	Status
#1	Zandar One Kuwabara	Alive
#4	Polka Kakamond	Alive
#55	Yu Qingtu	Alive
#64	Dr. Primitive	Alive
#76	Screwllum	Alive
#81	Ruan Mei	Alive
#83	Herta	Alive
#84	Stephen Lloyd	Alive

Characters like Herta, the puppeteering owner of the space station, and Ruan Mei, the master of life sciences, are familiar faces to any Trailblazer. We've also worked closely with Screwllum, the gentlemanly mechanical ruler of Planet Screwllum. Others, like the infamous Dr. Primitive, are mentioned frequently, building a web of intrigue and anticipation. Who will we meet next? 🤔

The "Genius" in Your Character Builds

The influence of these geniuses isn't just confined to the story. It extends directly to how we build our characters through the Genius of Brilliant Stars relic set. This powerful set is a testament to the society's focus on unraveling the universe's secrets, and it does so by shredding enemy defenses.

• 2-Piece Effect: Increases Quantum DMG by 10%.

• 4-Piece Effect: When the wearer deals DMG to an enemy, ignores 10% of their DEF. If the target enemy has Quantum Weakness, the wearer ignores an additional 10% of their DEF.

This set is, without a doubt, the best-in-slot for almost every Quantum DPS character. The defense ignore provided by the 4-piece set is an incredibly valuable and rare stat, making it a game-changer for maximizing damage. You can farm this incredible set in the Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Providence on Jarilo-VI. It's a grind, but one that's well worth it for any serious player!

The Future in Honkai: Star Rail 3.7 and Beyond

With every new update, the community buzzes with speculation about which Genius Society member might become playable next. The recent Honkai Star Rail 3.7 update introduced new faces and stories, but the spotlight often returns to the remaining unknown members of the society. Will we finally meet the enigmatic Polka Kakamond, the 'Gossip' genius, or perhaps uncover the truth behind Dr. Primitive's research?

The developers have masterfully woven the Genius Society into the fabric of the game's past, present, and future. Their mystery is a huge part of their appeal. As the Trailblazer's journey across the stars continues, it's almost certain that we will cross paths with more of these incredible minds. The only question is when. ✨
