How to Use Calyx Rewards

Crimson Calyxes for Upgrades and Ascension

Rewards from Crimson Calyxes are used to upgrade character Traces and ascend Light Cones.

An easy way to remember what materials a character or Light Cone needs is to look at their path type. For example, Erudition characters and Light Cones will need materials from the Bud of Erudition Calyx.

Golden Calyxes for Leveling Up

Rewards from Golden Calyxes are used to level up characters and Light Cones before they can be ascended. The Bud of Memories will grant materials to level up characters, while the Bud of Aether will grant materials to level up Light Cones.

In addition, all types of upgrades and ascensions cost Credits, so the Bud of Treasures will be helpful if you run out. You can also use Credits to synthesize materials and consumables.
