Abundance characters are far and few between, but they play a critical role in Honkai: Star Rail. Bailu, a standard five-star Abundance character, is currently one of the best healers in the game. I was lucky enough to pull her as my first five-star character. Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee that you'll add her to your roster, unless you choose her as your free character after 300 pulls in the standard Gacha. If you want to prepare for her now, here's a handy guide on the materials you will need to farm.
Bailu's Common Trace Materials in Honkai Star Rail
Bailu uses Core pieces that are commonly dropped by Fragmentum monsters on Jarilo-VI. She'll need these materials to raise her character level, her skill levels, and unlock her Traces. To fully unlock all of them she will need:
- 56 Extinguished Cores
- 71 Glimmering Cores
- 73 Squirming Cores
The best way to obtain these materials is to fight enemies found in the Backwater Pass or Rivet Town on Jarilo-VI. The higher the level of enemies you are fighting, the more materials of higher rarity they will drop. You can also get these materials from fighting in the Simulated Universe. This game mode features randomly generated enemies, and can not be relied upon to always drop these materials.
You can also obtain these materials passively by completing the Nine Billion Names assignment. Use characters on the Erudition Path on this assignment to gain extra materials.

Bailu's Path Material in Honkai Star Rail
Bailu is a character who follows the path of Abundance, so she needs Seed materials from the Bud of Abundance Crimson Calyx. You will need to spend at least 10 Trailblaze Power to obtain these materials. The higher of level of challenge you complete, the more items you will receive for Trailblaze power spent.
Bailu uses these materials to raise her skill levels and unlock Traces. You'll need this many materials to fully ascend her skills:
- 18 Seeds of Abundance
- 69 Sprouts of Life
- 139 Flowers of Eternity
She does not need this material to ascend as a character, but keep in mind more of these materials will also be needed to ascend any Light Cone she would use. The number of materials you will need will vary with the rarity of the Light Cone.
Bailu's Character Ascension Material, Advanced Trace Material and Tracks of Destiny in Honkai Star Rail
You'll need to farm the Shape of Fulmination Stagnant Shadow challenge to obtain Bailu's Character Ascension Materials. She'll need 65 Lightening Crowns of the Past Shadow to fully ascend. Again, keep in mind that challenging the Stagnant Shadow fight on the highest difficulty possible will award you more Character Ascension Materials for Trailblaze Power spent.
Bailu uses the Guardian's Lament Advanced Trace Material. It can only be obtained from the Echo of War: End of the Eternal Freeze. These challenges can only be taken on three times per week. Bailu will need nine Guardian's Lament pieces to fully ascend her skills, as well as three more to unlock her Bonus abilities, for a total of 12.
All characters need at least Tracks of Destiny to fully ascend their skills and unlock the last two Bonus Abilities. As a five-star character, Bailu will need eight. These materials are almost equivalent to Crowns of Insight from Genshin Impact, although they are mercifully easier to obtain. You can obtain them as a Limited Time Event Reward, but you can also farm them weekly by completing the Simulated Universe, or win them as a reward from the free version of the Nameless Honor Battle Pass. If you purchase the Nameless Glory Battle Pass, you will be able to obtain more Tracks of Destiny per version update.

How many Credits are needed to fully ascend Bailu in Honkai Star Rail?
You won't be able to upgrade anything without spending a little bit of Credits each time. To fully ascend Bailu's level, skills and unlock all of their Traces, you'll be spending a nauseating 3,887,800 Credits. Hopefully, Bailu has a prescription for that.
If you need more Credits, the best quickest way would be to farm them from the Bud of Treasures Golden Calyx, though this will cost Trailblaze Power. You can also obtain Credits from completing assignments and missions, opening Treasure Chests, or attacking destructible objects that refresh daily.
