Honkai: Star Rail - The Herta Ascension & Trace Materials

screenrant.com:

Farming the Ascension and Trace materials for The Herta in is a necessary step to fully upgrade the character and take advantage of her perks as a main DPS in team comps. The Herta is a 5-star Ice character on the Path of the Erudition. The character is the first premium unit being introduced in the game’s third year of content, starring in the Phase 1 banners for 3.0, just before the debut of Aglaea as a playable character. Contrary to Aglaea, The Herta is not from Amphoreus, but important to the story.

The Herta is a unique Erudition character. The 5-star unit uses her Skill to target a single enemy, applying a stack of Interpretation on them. This attack also hits adjacent targets. With her Ultimate, The Herta can rearrange Interpretation stacks, transferring them to Elite enemies and above. Then, she deals Ice DMG to all targets. When using her Enhanced Skill and the enemy’s Interpretation stack is 42, The Herta deals extra Ice DMG. She also gets an Ultimate DMG multiplier for her Interpretation stacks on enemies, making The Herta’s kit in a force to be reckoned with.

Before putting her abilities to good use, however, you will need to fully Ascend her, and this starts by farming The Herta’s materials. As listed by Honey Hunter World, The Herta’s Ascension materials include Extinguished Core, Glimmering Core, and Squirming Core, which are all part of the same item family. These items drop from Fragmentum monsters, such as the Windspawn, Imaginary Weaver, Sequence Trotter, Blaze Out of Space, and Guardian Shadow. The best way of farming these Core materials for The Herta is by challenging Calyx (Golden) activities in Xianzhou Luofu maps, which heavily feature Fragmentum enemies.
