In Honkai Impact 3.5, a brand new five-star character, Cerydra, makes her debut. As a Wind-attributed "Harmony" character, she not only possesses powerful support and amplification abilities, but also brings a whole new combat experience to your team through unique mechanics. Want to max out Cerydra as soon as possible? You'll need to prepare all the materials needed for her breakthroughs, skill trace upgrades, and exclusive light cones in advance.

This article will provide an overview of Cerydra's breakthrough materials, how to obtain materials for skill trace upgrades, unique weapon development suggestions, and a material farming priority plan to help pioneers unlock Cerydra's full potential as soon as possible in the new update.

Cerydra Training Materials Overview

To train Cerydra, you'll need three main categories of materials:

Character Level Breakthrough Materials

Skill Traces Upgrade Materials

Exclusive Light Cone Breakthrough Materials

In addition, you'll need a significant amount of Credits and rare weekly materials. Here's an overview:

Core Breakthrough Materials: "Dusk Ember Bud" x65

Skill Traces Main Materials: "Cloud Notes," "Sky Sections," "Heavenly Music," "Revelation of the Sunlight"

Exclusive Light Cone Training Materials: Partially overlap with Traces, but require "Revelation of the Sunlight" as an additional bonus.

As you can see, Cerydra's training costs are quite high. If you want to get her into battle on the first day of Patch 3.5, be sure to plan ahead.

Alternatively, Pioneers can use the "Universal Synthesis Machine" to exchange other materials for Ember Bud of Dusk, but the cost is high and it is not recommended as a primary source.

Travel Materials Total Required

A vague omen 41

Endless lament 58

Cloud Notes 18

Exclusive Light Cone Development Materials

Cerydra's exclusive Light Cone, [Conquest], significantly enhances her support and team-boosting abilities. At max level, it provides high attack damage and enhanced combat skills. The following materials are required for breakthroughs:

Light Cone Upgrade Material Quantity

★ Highest Priority (Required)

Dusk Cinders (65, Core for Character Breakthrough)

Revelation of the Sun (Rare weekly material, capped at 3 per week)
