Honkai Star Rail Sushang Farming Guide

Another "expy" character from Honkai Impact 3rd, Sushang also happens to be a powerful damage dealer in HoYoverse's latest title, Honkai: Star Rail. I was lucky enough to draw her early on in the game, and immediately decided to build her, with no regrets. She works perfectly to replace the Physical Trailblazer as a damage dealer. Want to what you are going to need to build her? Here's a handy farming guide for Sushang.

Sushang's Common Trace Materials in Honkai Star Rail

Sushang uses Artifex pieces that are commonly dropped by Ingenia and other machine enemies on the Xianzhou Luofu. 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:

• 40 Artifex's Modules
• 55 Artifex's Cogwheels
• 54 Artifex's Gyreheart

The best way to obtain these materials is to fight enemies found in the Artisanship Commission or the Stargazer Navalia Regions on the Xianzhou Luofu. 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 Fire Lord Inflames Blades of War assignment. Use characters on the Harmony Path on this assignment to gain extra materials.

Sushang's Path Material in Honkai Star Rail

Sushang is a character who follows the path of The Hunt, so she needs Arrowhead materials from the Bud of The Hunt 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.

Sushang uses these materials to raise her skill levels and unlock Traces. You'll need this many materials to fully ascend her skills:

• 12 Arrows of the Beast Hunter
• 54 Arrows of the Demon Slayer
• 105 Arrows of the Starchaser

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.

Sushang's Character Ascension Material, Advanced Trace Material and Tracks of Destiny in Honkai Star Rail

For Sushang's Character Ascension material, you'll need to farm the Shape of Spike Stagnant Shadow challenge. She'll need 50 Broken Teeth of Iron Wolf 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.

Sushang 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. Sushang 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 five Tracks of Destiny to fully ascend their skills and unlock the last two Bonus Abilities. 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 Sushang in Honkai Star Rail?

You won't be able to upgrade anything without spending a little bit of Credits each time. To fully ascend any character's level, skills and unlock all of their Traces, you'll be spending a gut-wrenching 3,226,200 Credits. While this number does make me a bit queasy, it helps to know that I won't be spending it all at once.

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.
