All Feixiao Ascension Materials & How to Get Them in Honkai Star Rail

If you want to use Feixiao at her best in Honkai: Star Rail, you’ll need to get tons of her character and Trace ascension materials. As a 5-star character, she takes the most material investment to reach her maximum potential, and we’ll go over everything you need to get today.

Note: The materials listed here were disclosed via closed beta test leaks and are subject to change.

All Feixiao Character Ascension Materials in Honkai: Star Rail

• 15 Artifex’s Module
• 15 Artifex’s Cogwheel
• 15 Artifex’s Gyreheart
• 65 Glass of the Besotted Era
• 308,000 Credits

You’re not going to get the most out of Feixiao unless you use her character ascension materials to take her to level 80. Like all 5-stars, she needs far more mats than a 4-star to fully ascend, and unfortunately, you need access to a late-story location in Penacony to farm one of her mats. The Glass of the Besotted Era will only be farmable from within a Stagnant Shadow in the Penacony Grand Theater, the location of that planet’s story’s final battle. You should be able to access it via Temporary Early Access during the 2.5 update period when Feixiao first runs, but after that, no such luck.

At Equilibrium Rank 6, the current highest in the game (and likely only reachable for months-old accounts), you get five units of Glass of the Besotted Era per run. Each run should take a minute or less with a well-built team, meaning you’ll need to complete the Stagnant Shadow 13 times to fully upgrade Feixiao. With only eight runs possible on the default maximum Trailblaze Power of 240, you’ll either need to spend Stellar Jade, Fuel, or have built up Reserved Trailblaze Power to get Feixiao to level 80 the day she releases.

The Artifex items are thankfully easier to come by, and you’ll need at least 195 of the base Modules to fully ascend Feixaio. You get a smattering of them when completing Golden Calyxes from 1.0 locations (Herta’s Space Station, Jarilo-VI, and most areas of the Xianzhou Luofu). You can also farm the base Artifex’s Module using the Assignments system, which awards a maximum of 30 units every 21 hours. For reference, I’ve been passively collecting upgrade materials since HSR launched and have more than 2,000 of everything — after fully ascending more than 15 characters, 5-star and otherwise.

All Feixiao Trace Ascension Materials in Honkai: Star Rail

• 18 Meteoric Bullet
• 69 Destined Expiration
• 139 Countertemporal Shot
• 58 Artifex’s Gyreheart
• 12 Regret of Infinite Ochema (or new boss material)
• 8 Tracks of Destiny
• 3,000,000+ Credits

Ascending your character’s Traces is far and away the most expensive part of the character-building process, and Feixiao is no exception. The primary materials you’ll need are the Penacony Hunt-specific bullet materials. You’ll find the Crimson Calyx that awards those in the Soulglad(TM) Scorchsand Audition Venue, also a late-story location during the Penacony storyline.

As you can tell by the numbers, you need a lot of them. And like the Artifex items, it takes three Meteoric Bullets to make one Destined Expiration or nine Bullets to make one Countertemporal shot. In other words, you need to farm the equivalent of a whopping 1,476 Meteoric Bullets. Thankfully, if you’re at max Equilibrium, the Crimson Calyx that awards the bullet Hunt materials awards a hefty amount of blue-rarity mats and a few purple-rarity ones per run, making that massive mountain a bit more tolerable.

The Regret of Infinite Ochema is the reward from the Phantylia weekly boss, which you unlock during the Xianzhou Loufu story. If you haven’t finished at least that much content, you’re likely out of luck until you reach them in the story proper.

Tracks of Destiny are the hardest to come by, as you only get:

• Two per Season Pass
• One per weekly Simulated Universe reward
• Two every month through Ember Exchange
• One per spending of 50 Undying Starlight, a currency you can only get by pulling
• One as a pinnacle reward for limited events.

In other words, Tracks of Destiny are relatively scarce, especially if you use them on more than a few characters. Again, for reference, I’ve only fully upgraded the Traces of three characters and taken a handful of others to their maximum, and I have a scant 31 left over. Unless you pay a not-insignificant amount of real-world money, you’ll need to be judicious with when and on who you use them.

One final note (and this is a major spoiler warning): Feixiao herself becomes a weekly story boss in the 2.5 update, so there’s a large chance the Regret of Infinite Ochema material will be replaced with whatever she drops in her fight. At Equilibrium 6, you get three boss materials per run, and each run costs 30 Trailblaze Power to get rewards. Four gets you everything you need, but you can only do three runs with rewards per week, so…yeah, you’ll be waiting a minute to get Feixiao up to par if her boss fight does indeed have a new material.

And with that, you now know all of Feixiao’s (prospective) ascension materials. If she comes out and there are any additional changes, we’ll make them here. In the meantime, head over to our Honkai: Star Rail guides hub for more.
