Honkai Star Rail Aeon Aha Materials Guide: Current Pre-Farm Checklist

HoYoverse has officially revealed Aeon ★ Aha as an upcoming five-star Quantum character following the Path of Elation. Aha is widely expected to arrive in Version 4.7 based on the reveal timing, but the version, Warp phase, release date and final material list still require official confirmation. Version 4.6 is currently live.

The quantities below come from the latest accessible pre-release database. Farm universal resources freely, but do not spend all your Fuel on character-specific materials before HoYoverse publishes Aha’s final requirements.

Aeon Aha Materials: Official Information vs Beta Data

Aha’s rarity, Type and Path can be treated as confirmed. Sneering Harlequin, the Fluffy Trace series and other listed upgrade materials are already available in the game, but Aha’s use of them remains based on pre-release data.

Aeon Aha Pre-Farm Checklist

Material	Current target	Pre-farm recommendation
Credits	Approximately 3,884,000	Safe to farm
Traveler’s Guide	Approximately 290	Safe to farm
Tracks of Destiny	8	Safe to reserve
Sneering Harlequin	65	Farm after universal materials
Whimsy Wax	51	Available; quantity may change
Dreamweave Steel	71	Available; quantity may change
Lucid Awl	73	Available; quantity may change
The Fluffy Hand-drawn Storyboards	18	Reasonable to pre-farm
The Fluffy Serialization Memorial Issue	69	Reasonable to pre-farm
The Fluffy Collector’s Edition	139	Reasonable to pre-farm
High Hopes of the Falsely Enlightened	12	Use spare weekly claims cautiously

Credits, EXP materials and Tracks of Destiny are the lowest-risk targets because they remain useful even if Aha’s final requirements change.

Current Aeon Aha Material Totals

The latest accessible beta database lists 3,304,000 Credits for Aha’s Ascension and complete Trace upgrades. This figure does not include the Credits required to raise the character from Level 1 to 80.

The Credit calculation used in this guide is:

These figures follow the current beta snapshot and may change before release.

Aeon Aha Ascension Materials

The following materials are currently listed for completing all six Ascensions and unlocking Level 80:

Ascension material	Credits	Sneering Harlequin	Whimsy Wax	Dreamweave Steel	Lucid Awl
Amount	308,000	65	15	15	15

Character EXP is calculated separately. Raising Aha to Level 80 requires approximately 290 Traveler’s Guides or an equivalent combination of Traveler’s Guides, Adventure Logs and Travel Encounters.

Aeon Aha Trace Materials

The current target for fully upgrading Aha’s Trace tree is:

Trace material	Amount
Credits	2,996,000
Tracks of Destiny	8
The Fluffy Hand-drawn Storyboards	18
The Fluffy Serialization Memorial Issue	69
The Fluffy Collector’s Edition	139
High Hopes of the Falsely Enlightened	12
Whimsy Wax	36
Dreamweave Steel	56
Lucid Awl	58

The Trace table represents full investment rather than a basic release-day build. Players who initially upgrade only Aha’s most important abilities will need fewer Credits and enemy materials.

Because Aha’s final kit has not been officially published, a reliable priority-Trace material total cannot yet be calculated.

Sneering Harlequin

Sneering Harlequin comes from:

Stagnant Shadow: Shape of DevourLocation: Inkford Hermitage, Planarcadia
Cost: 30 Trailblaze Power per claim

Current beta data lists 65 copies for Aha’s Level 80 Ascension. The material and its Stagnant Shadow are already available in the live game.

However, Stagnant Shadow drops have limited use outside their assigned characters. Finish the flexible resources first and avoid immediately spending all stored Fuel here.

The Fluffy Trace Material Series

Aha’s reported Elation Trace materials come from:

Calyx (Crimson): Bud of ElationLocation: “World’s End” Tavern, Planarcadia

The Calyx provides:

• The Fluffy Hand-drawn Storyboards

• The Fluffy Serialization Memorial Issue

• The Fluffy Collector’s Edition

Lower-tier materials can be converted through the Omni-Synthesizer. These resources are also used by other Elation characters, making them less restrictive than a character-specific Stagnant Shadow drop.

High Hopes of the Falsely Enlightened

High Hopes of the Falsely Enlightened is obtained from:

Echo of War: The Comedy of DoomBoss: Asat Pramad
Current beta target: 12

This weekly material is already available in the game. The unconfirmed detail is whether Aha’s final release build will require it.

Only three Echo of War reward claims can be completed each week across all available encounters. Prioritize materials needed by characters you are already building before using every weekly claim for Aha.

Tracks of Destiny

Tracks of Destiny are used for high-level Trace upgrades and cannot be repeatedly farmed from a standard Calyx.

Common sources include:

Limited-time events、Simulated Universe and related modes、Nameless Honor、Embers Exchange、Weekly and version progression rewards

Reserve eight copies if you plan to maximize Aha’s Trace tree.

Best Aeon Aha Pre-Farm Order

1.Prepare Credits and Character EXP

Start with approximately 3.88 million Credits and enough EXP materials for Level 80. These resources have no meaningful pre-farm risk because they can be transferred to another character.

2.Reserve Tracks of Destiny

Set aside eight Tracks of Destiny. Avoid using them on optional Trace levels while preparing for Aha.

3.Farm the Fluffy Trace Series

Run the Bud of Elation until you approach the reported 18/69/139 target. Other Elation characters can use these materials if Aha’s requirements change.

4.Collect Imagenated Enemy Drops

Use exploration and Assignments to collect Whimsy Wax, Dreamweave Steel and Lucid Awl before spending additional Trailblaze Power.

5.Farm Sneering Harlequin

Begin the Stagnant Shadow farm after the universal resources are ready. Players who want to minimize risk can stop before reaching 65 and finish the remaining copies after the official material preview.

6.Use Spare Echo of War Claims

Farm High Hopes of the Falsely Enlightened only when your existing characters do not need another weekly material more urgently.
