Ascension: Soaring to Level 80 Requires a Mountain of Dreams

Every five-star ascension demands a titanic tribute, but Robin's specific requirements are a symphony of pain! To elevate her from Level 1 to the celestial heights of Level 80, Trailblazers must amass a staggering hoard:

  • Dream Components: Harvested from the haunting melodies of Penacony's Dreamjolt Troupe enemies. Seek out the non-purple foes haunting the Dreamscape!

  • IPC Work Permit: The brand-new bottleneck material! Exclusive to the Stagnant Shadow introduced in Version 2.2. Prepare for repetitive runs!

  • Credits: A colossal 308,000 Credits will vanish faster than a dream upon waking. 💸

The sheer scale of this ascension is mind-boggling! Witness the terrifying breakdown:

Ascension Stage Required Level Dreamjolt Troupe Drops Stagnant Shadow Drops (IPC Work Permit) Credits Needed
1 20 5x Collection Component - 4,000
2 30 10x Collection Component - 8,000
3 40 6x Flow Valve 3x 16,000
4 50 9x Flow Valve 7x 40,000
5 60 6x Making Engine 20x 80,000
6 70 9x Making Engine 35x 160,000
TOTAL - 15x Collection Component
15x Flow Valve
15x Making Engine		 65x IPC Work Permit 308,000

Sixty-five IPC Work Permits! Fifteen of each Dream component! This isn't ascension; it's an economic siege! 💥

Trace Upgrades: The True Endless Grind Begins! 🎻

If ascension materials seem daunting, Robin's trace upgrades are a descent into farming madness! These are absolutely critical, not just for her own power, but also for maximizing synergy with her signature Light Cones. The sheer volume required will make even seasoned Trailblazers weep! Thankfully, pre-farming is possible... but the road is long and paved with despair.

Key Trace Materials:

  • Harmony Calyx Drops (Firmament Note, Celestial Section, Heavenly Melody): Farmed endlessly at the Harmony Crimson Calyx in The Reverie (Dreamscape). If locked, it magically appears when Robin's banner shines!

  • Past Evils of the Borehole Planet Disaster: The ultimate weekly choke point! Dropped only by the fearsome boss lurking in the Seclusion Zone. A miserly 9 per week maximum! 😭

  • Tracks of Destiny: The ever-elusive universal trace material.

  • More Dreamjolt Drops & Credits: Because the ascension hoard wasn't enough!

Basic Attack: A Deceptively Expensive Prelude

Maxing just her basic melody requires a significant investment:

Trace Level Crimson Calyx Materials Dreamjolt Troupe Drops Credits
2 3x Firmament Note 6x Collection Component 5,000
3 3x Celestial Section 3x Flow Valve 10,000
4 5x Celestial Section 4x Flow Valve 20,000
5 3x Heavenly Melody 3x Making Engine 45,000
6 8x Heavenly Melody 4x Making Engine 160,000
TOTAL 3x Firmament Note
8x Celestial Section
11x Heavenly Melody		 6x Collection Component
7x Flow Valve
7x Making Engine		 240,000

Skill, Talent & Ultimate: The Grand Symphony of Suffering 🎼

This is where resources vanish into a black hole! Leveling her core abilities (Skill, Talent, Ultimate) to the majestic peak of Level 10 demands an almost impossible tribute:

Trace Level Crimson Calyx Materials Dreamjolt Drops Echo of War Drops (Past Evils) Tracks of Destiny Credits
2 - 3x Collection - - 2,500
3 3x Firmament Note 6x Collection - - 5,000
4 3x Celestial Section 3x Flow Valve - - 10,000
5 5x Celestial Section 4x Flow Valve - - 20,000
6 7x Celestial Section 6x Flow Valve - - 30,000
7 3x Heavenly Melody 3x Making Engine - - 45,000
8 5x Heavenly Melody 4x Making Engine 1x - 80,000
9 8x Heavenly Melody - 1x 1 160,000
10 14x Heavenly Melody - 1x 1 300,000
TOTAL 3x Firmament Note
15x Celestial Section
30x Heavenly Melody		 9x Collection
13x Flow Valve
7x Making Engine		 3x Past Evils 2x Tracks 652,500

Behold the horror! 😱 Thirty Heavenly Melodies! Fifteen Celestial Sections! And the cruelest cut of all: THREE weeks minimum locked behind the weekly boss for those precious Past Evils (3 needed total, 1 per week max). Factor in the 2 Tracks of Destiny and over 650k Credits just for these traces, and the total cost for Robin becomes astronomical. This is not merely farming; it's a full-time job demanding blood, sweat, and endless Trailblaze Power! The hype for Robin is real, but the price of her perfection is a legend in the making. Prepare wisely, or be drowned in the tidal wave of material requirements! 🌌💔
