The arrival of Dan Heng: Permansor Terrae in Honkai: Star Rail's 3.6 update signals a seismic shift in preservation strategies, transforming the Nameless navigator into a Chrysos Heir wielding physical might. Pre-farming his ascension materials becomes a strategic imperative for Trailblazers seeking to immediately unlock this dragon-encircled guardian's potential. Like stocking a pantry before a hurricane, gathering resources now ensures players won't be caught empty-handed when the storm of new content hits. HoYoverse's confirmation of his 5-star Preservation path and physical alignment provides the foundation, while leaks reveal a kit specializing in crystalline shields and damage amplification – an unusual duality that could redefine sustain mechanics. With all required materials already available in-game, diligent preparation allows instant power escalation upon obtaining this Amphoreus-bound warrior.
Ascension Essentials: Building the Foundation
Permansor Terrae's evolution demands titanic quantities of biological components and Credits, creating a resource sinkhole that swallows weeks of farming. The core materials form a grotesque trilogy:
-
Fear-Stomped Flesh (40+ monthly via Embers Exchange)
-
Courage-Torn Chest
-
Glory-Aspersed Torso
These gory specimens rain from Titankin enemies across Amphoreus, with Calyx (Golden) activities serving as slaughterhouses guaranteeing Fear-Stomped Flesh drops. The real bottleneck emerges with Invasive Clot – a viscous substance requiring 13 runs of Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Deepsheaf at maximum difficulty. Transforming lower-tier materials through the Omni-Synthesizer becomes an alchemical ritual, turning common dregs into precious components much like medieval philosophers attempting to transmute lead into gold. Financial demands reach staggering heights:
Resource | Quantity | Optimal Farm Location |
---|---|---|
Credits | 308,000 | Calyx (Golden): Bud of Treasures |
Character EXP | 508,000 Credits | Same as above |
Amphoreus' Bud of Treasures domain pulls double duty, simultaneously yielding Credits and Fear-Stomped Flesh – an efficient two-for-one harvest rare in the cosmos.
Trace Materials: The Real Grind Begins
Unlocking Permansor Terrae's full capabilities requires Trace upgrades that devour resources at astronomical rates, turning the pre-farming process into a cosmic marathon where endurance trumps speed. The biological trio reappears here, demanding stockpiles that dwarf ascension needs. Preservation-specific components form the celestial core:
-
🔴 Scattered Stardust (Common)
-
🔵 Crystal Meteorites (Rare)
-
🟡 Divine Amber (Very Rare)
These shower from Calyx (Crimson): Bud of Preservation in Penacony's Clock Studios Theme Park – the same hunting grounds that nourished Aventurine. Higher Trace levels introduce brutal bottlenecks:
-
Daythunder Anamnesis (Echo of War: Glance of Twilight)
-
Tracks of Destiny (Simulated Universe/Divergent Universe)
The weekly cap on Echo of War transforms Daythunder farming into a drip-fed ordeal, while Tracks of Destiny materialize through:
-
Simulated Universe weekly rewards
-
Limited-time events
-
Monthly Embers Exchange (2 pieces)
-
Starlight Exchange (unlimited for Undying Starlight)
Financial demands reach crippling levels with 3,000,000 Credits needed for Trace completion – a sum capable of bankrupting interstellar empires. This credit hemorrhage makes simultaneous farming at Bud of Treasures non-negotiable.
Strategic Farming Considerations
Navigating this resource labyrinth requires chess-like foresight. Assignments passively generate Fear-Stomped Flesh during offline hours, while Omni-Synthesizer conversions prevent material dead ends. The overlapping needs for Credits and biological components make Amphoreus' Bud of Treasures domain the undisputed farming nexus – a double-helix spiral of efficiency. Weekly activity locks force prioritization:
-
Echo of War runs for Daythunder Anamnesis (max 3 weekly)
-
Simulated Universe for Tracks of Destiny
-
Crimson Calyx for Preservation materials
-
Golden Calyx for Credits/biologicals
Permansor Terrae's potential as a hybrid shielder-damage dealer raises tantalizing questions about team synergies. Could his leaked mechanics create harmonic resonance with follow-up attackers, or will he remain a niche alternative to Aventurine's proven defenses? As Trailblazers scour battlefields for Titankin remains and haunted clots, they might ponder whether this dragon-embraced guardian represents preservation's evolution or merely another stepping stone in Honkai's ever-shifting meta – a celestial puzzle whose pieces keep rotating with each update.
