Honkai: Star Rail - Firefly Character Ascension (& Materials)

Gathering the correct materials for Firefly’s Ascension in is a vital step in maxing out her level and Traces, which then allows you to focus on her build. Firefly is a new 5-star character added with Version 2.3, a patch that follows the conclusion of the Penacony story arc in Version 2.2, but that continues seeing more content introduced into the RPG by HoYoverse. Along with Jade, Firefly is one of the new characters in 2.3 banners. In combat, Firefly uses Fire DMG and follows the Path of the Destruction, making her a DPS.

This article contains a few spoilers for the Penacony storyline.

As was revealed throughout the story, Firefly is actually the person who operates the Sam suit, known as a member of the Stellaron Hunters. This, logically, is translated into her gameplay kit. When using Firefly, players can transform her into Sam and use Firefly at her peak performance, dealing massive amounts of damage to several opponents, even if at the cost of her life to do so. Before being able to use Sam’s powers, however, you should farm all the materials for Firefly in so that you can take her to level 80 as quickly as possible.

New leaks about Firefly in Honkai: Star Rail 2.3 are hinting at what may be a game-changing addition to the turn-based RPG's combat system.

While not everything has been formally addressed by the developer, all of Firefly’s required materials for both her Ascension and Trace-leveling process have been revealed through leaks. According to the database Honey Hunter World, all of the materials used by Firefly can already be pre-farmed before her official release in the game. She is, allegedly, not dependent on any new material being added with the Version 2.3 update, so players can already gather everything needed to max Firefly out as soon as they obtain her in 2.3.

The table below lists all the materials required for Firefly’s Ascension, divided by level threshold, and condensed for the grand total:
