Honkai: Star Rail features characters like Castorice, who need materials to be upgraded. It’s a common trait with the games by miHoYo, causing players to have to grind it out. While it may sound daunting, leveling up characters is the only way that they can be better and contend with tougher foes. In the past, we have shown you the various materials you need to boost up Tribbie. Rather than have you feeling stuck on what you need, we want you to be prepared. I know I sure like to be when diving into games that may require some materials grinding. With Castorice coming from the 3.2 update, getting her Ascension, Light Cone, and even Trace is vital. The guide contains all of the information on how much you need below. Plus, where to find them, so you can get right to grinding for them.
All Materials Needed for Castorice
Gathering materials allows you to level up Castorice, making her more powerful. Darkveil Moonlight and Etheral Omen are just some of the resources needed to do so. However, there are different ones that you need, and preplanning what to expect makes things easier. The following table shows you the total amount Castorice needs for materials:
| Materials | Total Amount of Materials Needed |
