Farming the materials for Jingliu’s Ascension in playable character in Honkai: Star Rail 1.4, along with Guinaifen and Topaz. She is a 5-star character who uses Ice in combat and follows the Path of the Destruction. Jingliu has a unique gameplay kit, which sees her drain the HP of her own allies.

While Jingliu plays a risky game by pulling HP from her party, this is compensated for in more damage output against her enemies. Even with the high risks she may pose, Jingliu has the potential to be one of the strongest DPS characters in Honkai: Star Rail, provided that she is given the proper build and team comp. Of course, the first step to worry about is gathering the proper materials to the Ascension thresholds that limit Jingliu from being leveled to 80 immediately, so that you can max her out and unlock all of her powers. This also includes farming for her Traces, the name for her abilities.

Ascension Materials To Farm For Jingliu In Honkai: Star Rail

The first set of items that you will need to farm for Jingiu’s Ascension is Immortal Scionette and its evolutions, Immortal Aeroblossom and Immortal Lumintwig, respectively. These items have been available in the game since launch, so you may already have a few lying around in your inventory.

If not, you will need to farm this item family from varied Abundance Spirits, Mara-Struck Soldiers, Aurumaton Gatekeepers, Disiciples of Sanctus Medicus, and even the Ascended in Honkai: Star Rail. Most of these creatures are primarily found all across the Xianzhou Luofu maps, such as Cloudford, but they can also be encountered in the Simulated Universe.

You can and should use the Synthesizer to transform 3x Scionette into 1x Aeroblossom and 3x Aeroblossom into 1x Lumintwig. As you progress through the Ascension levels, rarer materials are needed, so using lower-quality ones to great what is required is a vital part of the Ascension process. The Synthesizer should later be used for Jingliu’s Traces as well.

While not too many are actually needed for the Ascension process itself, it is wise to farm a surplus of Immortal Scionette and its evolutions. This is because you will need a lot more for Jingliu’s Traces. Her skill tree fully unlocks after getting her to level 80, but while you are already farming these items, try to get more. The second set of items needed for Jingliu’s Ascension is Gelid Chitin. This item is an Ascension-exclusive item and can only be obtained from a Stagnant Shadow challenge in Honkai: Star Rail. To obtain it, you will need to travel to Luofu’s Cloudford map.

There, you will encounter Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Icicle. Beating this challenge will drop a few copies of Gelid Chitin. As a total of 65x Gelid Chitin is needed for Jingliu’s complete Ascension process, you will likely need to run this battle a few times. For reference, this is the same Stagnant Shadow needed for Yanqing’s Ascension in Honkai: Star Rail, so if you have already leveled the 5-star Hunt character, you may have a few leftovers. The table below lists all the materials needed for each of Jingliu’s Ascension levels, as well as the rewards for completing the Ascension:

The exact amount of each material may vary a bit as this is based on other 5-star characters' needs and leaks shared by Eurogamer, though the materials themselves are correct.

Other than that, you will need a total of 308,000x Credits for the entire process – this is not too large an amount, especially when compared to the amount required for Trace leveling. The Ascension process for Jingliu may take a few days, as there is also a daily limit on Trailblaze Power in Honkai: Star Rail, the resource you use to challenge Stagnant Shadows and other activities in the game. Regardless, this is the easiest part of the process, as leveling her Traces will be a lot more time-consuming due to the sheer number of resources you will need to collect.

Materials For Jingliu’s Traces (Abilities) In Honkai: Star Rail

After completing the Ascension process, you can comfortably start farming materials for Jingliu’s Traces in Honkai: Star Rail. This is the most troublesome part of maxing out a character, other than farming Relics and hoping for one with the best stats to actually drop. Immortal Scionette and its evolutions, Immortal Aeroblossom and Immortal Lumintwig are needed for her Traces as well.

Different from her Ascension, however, a much more demanding amount is required: you will need 41x Immortal Scionette, 56x Immortal Aeroblossom, and 58x Immortal Lumintwig. This is why you should go ahead and farm a surplus when gathering for the Ascension.

As the level of Jingliu’s Traces increases, so does the quality of the items she requires. Using the Synthesizer to craft what you need is the best way to optimize your gains. This is also true for the second group of items needed for her abilities, the Blades in Honkai: Star Rail.

The Shattered Blade, Lifeless Blade, and Worldbreaker Blade are demanded in huge quantities, so you will not only need to farm a lot but start transforming lower-quality materials into higher-quality materials. Although they can be obtained from World Shops and the Embers Exchange Store, the best source for these items is the Calyx (Crimson): Bud of Destruction.

You will likely need to challenge this domain several times in order to get all that is needed. For higher-level Traces, you will need a special item called Regret of Infinite Ochema. A total of 12x is needed, so you do not need to farm these incessantly. They drop from Phantylia in Honkai: Star Rail. Nevertheless, given there is a cap on weekly boss challenges, it may take some time to gather all 12x Regret of Infinite Ochema. The table below lists all the materials needed to max out Jingliu’s Traces:

The high-leveled Traces will also require some Tracks of Destiny. A total of 8x is needed to max out Jingliu. These can be obtained from special events, the Simulated Universe, Nameless Honor, and the Embers Exchange Store. The process of powering through all of Jingliu’s Ascension thresholds and then maxing out her Traces is one that demands some time and dedication, but one that is worthwhile as Jingliu is one of the most menacing DPS characters in Honkai: Star Rail so far.
