Honkai Star Rail can be a pretty difficult game as you progress through the main story. While defeating enemies and exploring new worlds, players will need to level up their characters. However, depending on certain conditions, it is impossible to level up a character past a certain milestone until those conditions have been met. This results in a lot of players being stuck at Trailblaze Level 20 and unable to progress. By this point in the main story, the enemies will be too strong for Level 20 characters to defeat. In order to move past this point, players will need to increase their Equilibrium Level

After reaching Level 20, players will be given the chance to increase their Equilibrium Level for the first time. The equilibrium Level in Honkai Star Rail is similar to World Level in Genshin Impact. This level determines the strength and stats of the enemies you face off against in the overworld but also increases the rarity and amount of rewards you receive while farming. 

In order to beat the Equilibrium Level quest, simply navigate to the instance and challenge the enemies inside. Usually, Equilibrium Level quests involve facing off against two enemies back to back without the chance for a break. After this has been completed, you will now be able to increase the levels of your characters even further and will receive more EXP from missions and Daily Rewards.

It is recommended to increase your Equilibrium Level as fast as you can whenever you are given the chance. Below is a small indication of what Trailblaze Levels offer which Equilibrium Level quest. 

  • Equilibrium Level 1: Trailblazer Level 20
  • Equilibrium Level 2: Trailblazer Level 30
  • Equilibrium level 3: Trailblazer Level 40
  • Equilibrium Level 4: Trailblazer Level 50
  • Equilibrium Level 5: Trailblazer Level 60
  • Equilibrium Level 6: Trailblazer Level 65

And that's everything you need to know to fix the stuck at level 20-23 issue in Honkai Star Rail.
