Wondering what Honkai: Star Rail Luocha ascension and Trace materials you’ll need? Luocha may be a five-star Imaginary but don’t let that fool you into believing he’s inferior to Novaheart. In fact, as is with almost all Honkai: Star Rail characters, Luocha requires an item to drop as a random draw from the gacha system before being able to interact with him in the base. Thankfully, you won’t have to wait until your first pull to do so, and the beginning of the Honkai: Star Rail story gives you ample opportunity to unlock him.
Unlike the main HoYGOS characters, Luocha doesn’t follow the path of Legends, but instead comes under the banner of Abundance. He’s playable straight off the bat in the initial version of 1.1, so here’s everything you’ll need to begin upgrading him in Honkai: Star Rail and make him a force to be reckoned with.
Honkai: Star Rail Luocha ascension materials
There are six levels to ascension in Honkai: Star Rail, and you’ll need to reach a certain Equilibrium level before you can begin. Further materials are required for each ascension if you wish to have them in their highest forms, such as Artifex’s Modules for Asta.
Here are the materials required for Honkai: Star Rail Luocha’s ascension:
The total cost is 65 Golden Crowns of the Past Shadow and 308,000 Credits. Note that golden crowns are Honkai: Star Rail’s premium currency, but crowns and credits can be earned through gameplay as well as being purchased outright.
Honkai: Star Rail Luocha trace materials
Traces are distinct buffs to your character that can be upgraded over the course of ten levels. The numbers of materials needed differs depending on the specific buff’s level, but a general rule of thumb is that later buffs require the same materials as Ascend materials. For Luocha, that particular buff is the Basic Attack.
Here are the materials required for Honkai: Star Rail Luocha’s Trace:
Your starting materials are as follows:
You should have some crimson calyx materials from logging into the game and resetting it within the first few days. After that, you can start farming them in The Xianzhou Luofu using Artifex mobs or by visiting the Backwater Pass area of Jarilo-VI. Similarly, you’ll need a visit to Jaduluvia on patch 1.2 to get any Stagnant Shadow drops required for the trace upgrades.
