Firefly is one of the most anticipated units in Honkai: Star Rail's Penacony arc, primarily due to the her involvement in the Trailblazer's story, however also due to her combat style. Also known as SAM, she is designed as a main DPS unit for the team composition, and as a Fire unit on the path of Destruction, Firefly excels in depleting enemy Toughness and executing powerful Super Breaks, similar to the Harmony Main Character.

Honkai: Star Rail – Boothill Build Guide

Boothill has a less demanding build compared to other characters in Honkai: Star Rail, but he requires tons of stats from what he needs.

Specializing in AoE DPS, Firefly can apply Fire Weakness and leverage her scaling Break Effect to deal massive damage over time. Collecting her ascension materials is crucial for maximizing her potential. Her traces focus on exploiting enemy Weakness Breaks, boosting her overall damage output and solidifying her as a key damage dealer in any team composition.

Firefly Materials In Honkai: Star Rail

Honkai_ Star Rail - Firefly Materials

Players have been able to pre-farm the materials required for Firefly, since all of them have been available. Nevertheless, she doesn't share much similarities in materials with many characters in Honkai: Star Rail, especially considering her Boss Drop (same as Gallagher's) and Trace Materials (same as Misha's) as of now. However, considering the mentioned are 4-star characters, for Firefly players will actually need to farm more.

  • Enemy drop: Tatters of Thought/Fragments of Impression/Shards of Desires
  • Boss drop: Raging Heart
  • Trace materials: Borisin Teeth/Lupitoxin Sawteeth/Moon Madness Fang
  • Weekly boss drop: Lost Echo of the Shared Wish

Firefly's Trace requirements are also split to 3, and as a DPS character, its recommended that players focus on maximizing all of them if possible:

  • Basic Attack
  • Skill/Talent/Ultimate
  • Tree Trace

Luckily, Basic attacks need less materials than Skill/Talent/Ultimate, which allows players to make good use of Firefly's Enhanced Basic attacks without needing to spend too many resources.
