Honkai Star Rail Qingque Ascension & Trace level up materials

Honkai Star Rail Qingque

Qingque’s banner is boosted again thanks to Honkai Star Rail version 2.0 Phase 2. For those who were able to unlock her through Sparkle and Jing Yuan’s current banners, here’s the full list of Qinque’s Ascension and Trace level-up materials will help you witness her true potential.

Honkai Star Rail lore describes Qingque as a lazy character but luckily, she is the exact opposite on the battlefield. If you’re looking for a Quantum damage-dealer, you can pull on Sparkle’s or Jing Yuan’s banners during the second phase of the 2.0 update, and hopefully get a copy of Qingque as she’s a boosted four-star character on it.

But even if you managed to unlock her for your Honkai Star Rail team, you’ll need to level her skills with Ascension materials and Trace items to get the best out of her abilities. Collecting these materials requires you to defeat a bunch of bosses and enemies in the open world and knowing the exact number of materials you need definitely comes in handy.

To make the farming process easier, we’ve compiled lists of the Ascension and Talent level-up materials for Qingque in Honkai Star Rail.
