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:

  1. Echo of War runs for Daythunder Anamnesis (max 3 weekly)

  2. Simulated Universe for Tracks of Destiny

  3. Crimson Calyx for Preservation materials

  4. 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.
