Honkai Star Rail Fugue materials are the main thing holding most players back from using her on day one of Version 3.8 Phase 2. Fugue is a 5 star Nihility Break support who needs Immortal mob drops, Searing Steel Blade from a Fire Stagnant Shadow, and a pile of trace books to really unlock her kit. This guide breaks down every ascension and trace material she needs, plus where to farm them on PC, PS5, Xbox, and mobile before you press pull.
| Category | Material | Main Source |
|---|---|---|
| Ascension | Searing Steel Blade | Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Scorch (Jarilo‑VI) |
| Traces | Fiery Spirit / Starfire / Heaven Incinerator | Calyx (Crimson): Bud of Nihility (Luofu) |
| Weekly Boss | Regret of Infinite Ochema | Echo of War: Divine Seed (Luofu) |
| Mob Drops | Immortal Scionette / Aeroblossom / Lumintwig | Mara‑Struck Soldiers (Luofu) & Calyx (Golden) |
| Special | Tracks of Destiny | Events, Simulated Universe, Ember Shop |
When should you start farming Fugue materials in 3.8 Phase 2?
Fugue is designed to sit in Break-focused teams as a Fire Nihility support, so leaving her stuck at level 60 with half-finished traces wastes a lot of her value. Official HoYoLAB material calculators and multiple community guides all agree that you want her at level 80 with at least Skill, Talent, and Ultimate traces pushed as high as possible for the Break Effect buffs.
To fully ascend Fugue from level 1 to 80, you need 308,000 Credits, 15 Immortal Scionette, 15 Immortal Aeroblossom, 15 Immortal Lumintwig, and 65 Searing Steel Blade. For traces, the total jumps to 3,000,000 Credits, 18 Fiery Spirit, 69 Starfire Essence, 139 Heaven Incinerator, 41 Immortal Scionette, 56 Immortal Aeroblossom, 58 Immortal Lumintwig, 12 Regret of Infinite Ochema, and 8 Tracks of Destiny.
Expert Insight: Multiple prefarm breakdowns and a HoYoLAB “Complete Material Guide for Sunday & Fugue” recommend treating Credits like a real bottleneck, since you are spending over 3.3 million just to finish Fugue alone if you start from zero.
Q: How many Searing Steel Blade does Fugue need in total?
A: Fugue needs 65 Searing Steel Blade to reach level 80 via ascensions.
Q: How much Credit should I save for Fugue?
A: Plan for roughly 3.3 million Credits to cover all Fugue ascensions and trace upgrades.
Best places to farm Fugue ascension and trace materials
For ascension, the big choke point is Searing Steel Blade, which drops from the Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Scorch in the Great Mine on Jarilo VI. Immortal Scionette, Immortal Aeroblossom, and Immortal Lumintwig come from Mara-Struck “Immortal” enemies on the Xianzhou Luofu, Calyx (Golden) runs, Simulated Universe drops, assignment rewards, and Undying Ember purchases.
Your weekly boss material is Regret of Infinite Ochema from Echo of War: Divine Seed in Scalegorge Waterscape, so you want to start clearing that before Fugue’s banner actually goes live if your account allows it. Her Nihility Fire trace books — Fiery Spirit, Starfire Essence, Heaven Incinerator — all drop from Calyx (Crimson): Bud of Nihility in the Alchemy Commission on Luofu, and can also be upgraded or converted with the Omni-Synthesizer.
Q: Where do I get Regret of Infinite Ochema for Fugue?
A: Regret of Infinite Ochema comes from Echo of War: Divine Seed in Scalegorge Waterscape on the Xianzhou Luofu.
Q: What’s the best way to farm Immortal materials?
A: Farm Mara-Struck enemies on Luofu, run Calyx (Golden), use assignments, and grab extra copies from the Ember Exchange shop when available.
Turning Honkai Star Rail Fugue materials into a simple pre-farm plan
If you are playing on PC, PS5, Xbox, or mobile, the cleanest path is to split your Honkai Star Rail Fugue materials grind into weekly and daily goals tied to 3.8 Phase 2. Weekly, clear Echo of War: Divine Seed until you hit 12 Regret of Infinite Ochema and keep an eye on any Tracks of Destiny from events, Simulated Universe points, or shop rewards. Daily, dump a chunk of Trailblaze Power into Shape of Scorch until you finish 65 Searing Steel Blade, then rotate between Bud of Nihility and Immortal farming.
Once you finish the boss materials, focus on building a buffer of Immortal drops, since Sunday and other characters can share them with Fugue. A high-upvoted thread on r/FugueMains plus several build videos recommend prioritizing Skill, Talent, and Ultimate traces first, especially if you are aiming for the “220 percent Break Effect” breakpoint that many Break teams try to hit.
Q: What Fugue traces should I level first?
A: Most build guides suggest focusing on her Skill, Talent, and Ultimate first to boost Break Effect support, then finishing Basic ATK and minor nodes later.
Q: Can I pre-farm Fugue without pulling her yet?
A: Yes, every Fugue material comes from permanent Calyx, Stagnant Shadow, Echo of War, and shop sources, so you can farm everything before her banner.
Honkai Star Rail Fugue materials are very standard once you break them down, so a few days of focused farming before 3.8 Phase 2 can leave her ready to slot into your Break teams the moment she joins your account.
