Honkai Star Rail Kafka Material Farming Guide: Ascension and Trace Materials | Attack of the Fanboy

For the delight of all players, as well as the despair of their wallets, Kafka is set to debut shortly as the star of the second banner of Honkai Star Rail’s version 1.2, thus allowing all players willing to pull for her the chance of adding our favorite Stellaron Hunter to their squad. With that said, for you to be able to unlock her full potential from the get-go, here are all the materials needed to ascend both Kafka and all of her Traces/abilities to the limit, as well as where to farm them.

All Kafka Ascension Materials and How to Farm Them

Those planning on ascending Kafka to level 90, will need to expend a total of 308K Credits, 15 Thief’s Instinct, 15 Usurper’s Scheme, 65 Shape Shifter’s Lightning Staff, and 15 Conqueror’s Will.

In order to unlock all of Kafka’s Traces as well as fully upgrade her Skill, Basic Attack, Ultimate, and Talent, you will then need to expend a total of 3 Million Credits plus 18 Obsidians of Dread, 69 Obsidians of Desolations, 169 Obsidians of Obsession, 41 Thief’s Instincts, 56 Usurper’s Schemes, 58 Conqueror’s Will, as well as 12 Regret of Infinite Ochema, and 8 Tracks of Destiny.
