Optimal Pre-Farming Strategy
Phase 1: Character EXP (Priority 1) Start accumulating Hero’s Wit through daily Calyx runs. This ensures immediate level progression upon Cerydra’s release.
Phase 2: Ascension Boss Materials (Priority 2) Farm Stagnant Shadow for Wind character materials. These drops are guaranteed but require consistent daily farming.
Phase 3: Trace Materials (Priority 3) Firmament Note, Celestial Section, Heavenly Melody can mainly be obtained by clearing the SoulGlad™ Scorchsand Audition Venue: Crimson Calyx. Focus on higher difficulty levels for better drop rates.
Resource Management Tips
Credit Conservation: Save 3+ million credits by reducing unnecessary equipment upgrades before Cerydra’s release.
Stamina Efficiency: Use natural stamina regeneration rather than refills for consistent daily progress. Plan farming routes to maximize material diversity per run.
Material Exchange: exchange through the Embers system when direct farming becomes inefficient.
