fragster Jennifer Davis 2. December 2025
Summary:
  • Honka Star Rail Version 3.8 introduces The Dahlia, a 5-star Fire Nihility character meant to be the Premium Super Break support in the coming patches..
  • The Dahlia’s Ascension materials include the Radiant Prominence boss material as well as items picked up from Calyx battles.
  • She also needs Fiery Spirit, Starfire Essence, and Heaven Incinerator which would take the longest to farm and an upcoming weekly material for her Trace upgrades.

The Dahlia is a mysterious and highly anticipated Fire Nihility character coming in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.8. From what we know, she’s an important figure from the Ever-Flame Mansion and will act as a top-tier Super Break support. Her kit can reduce enemy RES and boost Break Effect, making her strong in many teams. If you plan to build her as soon as she releases, this guide will show you all The Dahlia materials you need. 

All Materials Needed for The Dahlia

To fully level up The Dahlia, you need to farm three main groups of items: Ascension materials, Trace materials, and her Light Cone materials. You’ll also need a lot of Credits and EXP books. These cover all her Ascension and Trace upgrades, including items like Radiant Prominence, Tatters of Thought, Fiery Spirit, Starfire Essence, and Heaven Incinerator.

Quick List: Total Required Materials for The Dahlia

  • Credits: 3,888,100
  • Tatters of Thought: 56
  • Fragments of Impression: 71
  • Shards of Desires: 73
  • Radiant Prominence: 65
  • Fiery Spirit: 18
  • Starfire Essence: 69
  • Heaven Incinerator: 139

The Dahlia Ascension Materials

Honkai Star Rail uses level caps for every character, so you need Ascension materials to raise The Dahlia’s max level all the way to 80. To do that, you must collect:

  • Radiant Prominence ×65
  • Tatters of Thought ×15
  • Fragments of Impression ×15
  • Shards of Desires ×15
  • Credits ×888,100

Radiant Prominence is the most important item here. You can farm it from the Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Ashes boss, which was added back in Version 3.7. You can start collecting it anytime.

The other items—Tatters of Thought, Fragments of Impression, and Shards of Desires—come from basic Calyx battles found throughout the game.

The Dahlia Trace Materials

Trace materials are what you need to upgrade The Dahlia’s skills and unlock bonus attributes and abilities. She needs a lot of them, so this will be the hardest part of farming. Here’s everything required:

  • Fiery Spirit ×18
  • Starfire Essence ×69
  • Heaven Incinerator ×139
  • Tatters of Thought ×41
  • Fragments of Impression ×56
  • Shards of Desires ×58
  • Tracks of Destiny ×8
  • NEW weekly material ×12
  • Credits ×3,000,000

Fiery Spirit, Starfire Essence, and Heaven Incinerator all come from the Calyx (Crimson): Bud of Nihility in the Alchemy Commission. These take the longest to farm, so they should be your main focus.

The new weekly material comes from a boss that isn’t released yet. You’ll need 12 of them to fully max her Traces, so make sure you use your weekly boss attempts carefully.

The Dahlia Light Cone Materials

If you want to use The Dahlia with her Signature Light Cone, Never Forget Her Flame, you’ll need to farm materials to level it up.

  • 20 Tatters of Thought
  • 20 Fragments of Impression
  • 14 Shards of Desires
  • 4 Fiery Spirit
  • 12 Starfire Essence
  • 15 Heaven Incinerator
  • 385,000 Credits

These materials come from the same domains you use for her Trace upgrades, so you can farm both at the same time to save effort.

Conclusion

Getting The Dahlia materials ready before Version 3.8 will make things much easier later. She needs a lot of Trace, Ascension, and Light Cone materials, so it’s best to start farming early. If you follow this guide, you’ll have everything prepared by the time The Dahlia is released.
