Acheron is a 5-Star Nihility super-carry with the potential to deal insane amounts of damage inHonkai: Star Rail. However, like every other DPS unit in the game, players need to make a significant investment of time and resources before she can hit her peak potential.
The following is a complete list of all the materials needed to get Acheron to max level. As usual, it’s going to take a lot of farming, but unlocking all of Acheron’s Traces will net players tons of additional Lightning and CRIT DMG, cementing the Galaxy Ranger’s place as one of thestrongest Nihility characters inHonkai: Star Rail.

As a DPS-focused member of Star Rail’s Nihility roster, Acheron shouldn’t be using her Basic Attack much. Players can comfortably keep this skill at level without losing much damage, if any at all. The materials are better spent on the rest of her kit.
Fiery Spirit and its advanced versions can be easily earned by farming the Calyxes in the Alchemy Commission in the Xianzhou Luofu.
