Honkai: Star Rail: How to Earn Trace Materials | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Looking for how to earn Trace Materials in Honkai: Star Rail? Trace Materials are a consumable in HoYoverse's juggernaut turnbased RPG, and used as a way to Ascend and level up characters. In order to cope with increasing Equilibrium Levels, you'll want to have a good amount of Trace Materials available to maximise the effectiveness of your characters in combat. As such, as part of our Honkai: Star Rail guide, we're going to explain how to earn Trace Materials.

Unlike other consumables in Honkai: Star Rail, there are vast number of different Trace Materials, all of which will be required for characters that belong to different Path Types. Depending on the Path Type, you may need different Trace Materials to Ascend your character or upgrade their unique Traces (or combat abilities). Below, we're going to explain how to earn Trace Materials.

Honestly, one of the easiest ways to accrue Trace Materials is simply to defeat enemies you encounter in the world. Different types of enemies will drop different Trace Materials, so you can specifically target some types to maximise a type of item you need in your inventory, or you can just aimlessly grind out encounters and simply stock up on key items as you go. It should be noted that you can also get Trace Materials from Nameless Honor and the Simulated Universe, so in essence simply playing the game will net you some of the resources you need.

The Omni-Synthesizer is an always accessible utility within the game that can be used to exchange unwanted consumables for resources you need, or simply create them anew. This is particularly useful when your inventory is well stocked but you don't necessarily have the Trace Materials you specifically need to ascend a character or upgrade
