Himeko is a 5-star Fire unit in Honkai Star Rail belonging to the path of Erudition. Here’s a rundown of the character’s Ascension and Trace level-up materials in this game.

Himeko is quite a powerful unit in Honkai Star Rail. She might seem weak at the beginning of the game, but as your account gets bigger and you give her powerful artifacts, she becomes top-tier.

Her AoE damage is massive, making her one of the best Fire units in the game. Unfortunately, the only way of obtaining her is either by losing a 50-50 in an Event Warp or getting lucky in the Standard Warp.

Regardless, if you do end up getting her, these are the Ascension and Trace level-up materials that you’ll need to upgrade Himeko.
