Star Rail – Xueyi Ascension and Trace Materials

Xueyi becomes a new addition to the Honkai: Star Rail roster as a 4-star Destruction character, contributing to the relatively smaller group compared to their 5-star counterparts. Despite her lower rarity, Xueyi can perform quite well due to her unique mechanics that involve depleting toughness regardless of the elemental weakness of her opponents.

Honkai: Star Rail – Best Hanya Team Compositions

Hanya is a universally-good character in Honkai: Star Rail, but she shines most when paired with units that can make the most out of her kit.

To maximize her effectiveness, it is recommended that players fully ascend Xueyi and level up her traces while ensuring a well-rounded build. Here’s what players will need to achieve in order to reach the maximum level for both Xueyi and her traces. Luckily, as a 4-star character, Xueyi requires fewer materials to ascend.

Different traces require varying amounts of materials to level up, and in Xueyi’s case, her trace materials closely resemble those of Arlan, with the main difference lying in the weekly boss drop. Notably, Xueyi requires materials from the newly introduced weekly boss in the 1.6 update for her trace leveling.

  • Skill/Talent/Ultimate Trace materials
  • Skill Tree Trace materials
