Undying Starlight & Embers
Undying Starlight and Undying Embers are two unique currencies in Honkai: Star Rail obtained from the Warp system. These currencies are crucial for acquiring valuable items and resources from the Starlight and Embers Exchange shops, allowing you to further enhance your roster and progression.
Undying Starlight is primarily obtained when you receive a duplicate 5-star character or Light Cone from a Warp. Undying Embers are obtained from duplicate 4-star characters or Light Cones. The amount of currency received depends on the rarity of the duplicate item.
Starlight Exchange
The Starlight Exchange offers a rotating selection of items, including:
- Star Rail Passes: Used for Warping on standard banners.
- Special Star Rail Passes: Used for Warping on limited-time character and Light Cone banners.
- Light Cones: Specific 5-star and 4-star Light Cones are often available.
- Relics: Occasionally, high-rarity Relics can be purchased.
The selection in the Starlight Exchange refreshes periodically, so it's worth checking back regularly to see what new items are available. Prioritizing Special Star Rail Passes is generally recommended for acquiring new characters.
Embers Exchange
The Embers Exchange offers a wider variety of items, often including:
- Star Rail Passes: Essential for standard Warps.
- Character Ascension Materials: Used to level up characters beyond certain thresholds.
- Relic Enhancement Materials: Used to upgrade Relics.
- Credits: The standard in-game currency.
- Skill Enhancement Materials: Used to upgrade character Traces.
The Embers Exchange also features a rotating stock, so keep an eye on it for essential materials you might need. It's a good place to acquire resources that might otherwise be time-gated.
