Honkai Star Rail’s Arlan Ascension and Trace Materials can help improve the Lightning character’s damage, so here are all the items you need to farm. 

Arlan is a Lightning character in Honkai Star Rail who excels at dealing single-target and AoE damage to his opponents. While he isn’t as powerful as Jing Yuan, his ranking as a 4-star makes him much easier to obtain.

After all, unlocking the best 5-stars via Honkai Star Rail’s current banner requires a lot of Stellar Jade and a fair amount of luck. So, if you’re in need of a Lightning character to get through the game’s Simulated Universe or story content, then you may wish to consider leveling up Arlan. 

Without further ado, here are all of Arlan’s Ascension and Trace materials and where you can find them.

Arlan Ascension materials don’t take long to farm.

In order to Ascend Arlan, Trailblazers will need to gain access to Extinguished Cores, Glimmering Cores, and Squirming Cores. These items can be collected from the following Fragmentum Monsters:

  • Flamespawn
  • Frostspawn
  • Windspawn
  • Thunderspawn

You can also get them from the Simulated Universe and use the Omni Synthesizer if you have other character Ascension materials you wish to convert. You’ll also need to get Lightning Crown of the Past Shadow, which is obtained as a reward from the Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Fulmination. 

Now that you know where to get each of Arlan’s Ascension materials, be sure to use the table below to see how many you need to farm:
