Kafka is five-star Lightning character who follows the Path of the Nihility. She’s a Stellaron Hunter with a notorious lack of fear, enabling her to flit from planet to planet in accordance with Elio’s script. Like many others, I’m so excited to finally pull for her in the second half of the Version 1.2 banner. While she hasn’t been released yet, I highly recommend pre-farming so that you can quickly Ascend her the moment you get her.
Keep in mind that the information below is based on leaks and must be taken with a grain of salt. It’s possible for there to be major changes to her material information upon release.

Honkai Star Rail Kafka Trace materials
Above are all of the materials you need to farm to max out Kafka’s Traces, on top of 3,000,000 Credits to pay for the level-up cost.
Make sure to farm the Antimatter Legion at the following minimum Equilibrium Levels: level two for the Usurper’s Scheme and level four for the Conqueror’s Will. The Regret of Infinite Ochema will require you to defeat Phantylia the Undying, which is quite a tough battle—so take advantage of friend Supports to help.
