Game Contents That Requires Trailblazing Energies

In order to determine the best ways to spend your limited amount of Trailblazing energies daily, it is important to understand all of the game’s contents that will require players to spend their energies on in order to obtain special items.

Golden Calyx (Character EXPs and Money)

The first activity introduced for players to spend their energies on are the Golden Calyxes, battle stages that will reward players with character EXPs and the game’s money. These items are always important in general as all characters will need a certain amount of character EXPs in order to be leveled up while the money is used for practical everything in the game. This costs 10 energies for 1 run.

The stages of Golden Calyx are divided into different stages with higher difficulties that will only be unlocked once players have reached high level, the higher the difficulty stages, the more rewards will drop from 1 run.

Crimson Calyx (Character Trace Materials)

Another place for players to spend their energies, the Crimson Calyxes functions the same as the Golden one, however, they focus more on providing players with special characters’ trace upgrading materials. These materials are divided depending on the characters’ paths and are extremely important materials to level up their skills and to upgrade their light cones in order to strengthen their abilities in combat. This cost 10 energies for 1 run.

Stagnant Shadows (Character Ascension Materials)

Stagnant Shadows are unlocked after players have finished the main story up to a certain point and are essentially boss enemies that appear on the overworld map that players can challenge and spend their energies on in order to obtain rewards. These bosses will drop certain amounts of character ascension materials, things needed for characters to be ascended to another level cap and obtain brand new abilities. This cost 30 energies for 1 run.

Cavern of Corrosions (Relics)

Cavern of Corrosions are places where players can start farming for special sets of Relics in order to equip them to different characters and strengthen their stats even further, helping to prepare them for powerful opponents and difficult contents. This costs 40 energies for 1 run.

The Cavern of Corrosions are divided into different stages and each reward players with 2 specific sets of 4 pieces Relics that differ in terms of effects and viability to different characters, making it extremely annoying and time consuming for players to farm the correct pieces needed to equip to characters they want to build.

Echo of War (Weekly Bosses)

Echo of War are weekly bosses that can be challenged up to 3 times per week and reward players with limited time available skill upgrading materials that are needed to unlock special abilities and upgrade characters’ skills pass lv 7. This costs 30 energies for 1 run.

Echo of War rewards are extremely important to obtain weekly. In addition to the limited skill upgrading materials, these stages will also rewards certain amounts of Relics and have a chance to drop special limited 4* Light Cone of the different paths that players can equip to different characters

Simulated Universe Rewards (Relics)

Aside from the Cavern of Corrosions, players will be able to challenge the Simulated Universe and spend their energies on obtaining the rewards from Simulated Universe in order to obtain their exclusive Relics Sets, important to upgrade the characters fully and provide them with important stats that only these Relic sets can provide. For each reward claim, 40 energies will be spent, up to 160 energies for 4 reward claim attempts per run.

It is important to note that unlike other contents, players can spend the 40 energies in advance to convert them into special currencies that can be used to exchange the rewards for later runs. This is highly recommended if players have no time to spend their energies in a short amount of time.


How to Spend Your Trailblazing Energies Effectively

The limit for daily trailblazing energies is 180 and they will gradually recover when they do not reach the cap. Therefore, players should spend their energies constantly to not let the energy be capped. In addition, players can spend Fuels to recover 60 energies per bottle.

For Players With Equilibrium Level 1 to 2

When players are at Equilibrium Level 1 and 2, the selections of contents players should spend their energies on are extremely limited. At this stage of the game, players should spend their energies on farming The Golden Calyxes for Character EXPs and Money due to the fact that the rewards they can gain from other game mechanics at this point are not optimal and are extremely low in comparison to higher levels. Therefore, spending their energies at this stage on farming Character EXPs and Money are most ideal as these items will always be important no matter the Equilibrium Level and will prove important later.

For Players With Equilibrium Level 3 to 4

Once players have reached Equilibrium level 3 and 4, they should start focusing on strengthening their chosen characters to make an ideal team to challenge the upcoming hard contents the game has to offer. Therefore, players should focus on farming the Crimson Calyxes, Stagnant Shadow world bosses and the Echo of War weeklies. Preparation at this stage is extremely important to have a good team for future contents, therefore players should focus more on individual characters’ abilities rather than farming for Relics.

For Players With Equilibrium Level 5 and Above

At this stage of the game, players will have a good grasp on what they want to do with their characters and have at least a good team to work with, therefore players can now farm the optimal pieces of Relics necessary to make their characters shine. Once reached level 5, every Relic Run will guarantee at least 2 5* Relic pieces, so players should start farming Cavern of Corrosion and Simulated Universe at this stage.

Players should also focus on fully upgrading their characters’ traces level at this point in addition to preparing to make a 2nd team for the hardest challenge of the game - Halls of Memories once they have finished building their first ideal team.
