Pulling Mortenax Blade feels electric until the farm wall hits. Credits evaporate, Radiant Prominence stays scarce, and your Zone uptime stays stuck at zero. That means you have to put your all efforts to craft him to the right power and for that, you need the proper Mortenax Blade materials. This HSR Mortenax Blade materials guide cuts straight through the grind for that so you can unlock his full Infinite Fury power without wasting days.
And for anyone who need extra Stellar Jades for his banner, signature Light Cone, or simply more Trailblaze Power to finish the farm, topping up Honkai Star Rail through Enjoygm keeps the momentum high. Their rates sit well under the official store, delivery is near-instant, and you stay focused on the materials instead of waiting on a jade balance.
Who Is Mortenax Blade and Why Materials Matter?
Mortenax Blade is a 5-star Fire Nihility character introduced in version 4.3. He scales almost entirely off Max HP, spends his own health to deal damage, and deploys a Zone through his Ultimate that applies Balefire Bind (DEF reduction plus vulnerability) while shifting him into Infinite Fury. In that state he gains crit bonuses, unlocks his Skill, and generates Charges that trigger extra actions. Both Mortenax Blade’s personal damage and team amplification live behind leveled Traces and high HP, so unfinished materials leave him feeling half-built.
Mortenax Blade Ascension Materials
Reaching Level 80 with HSR Mortenax Blade materials is the first gate. The Mortenax Blade Ascension materials follow the standard 5-star curve, with the bulk of Radiant Prominence sitting in the final two ascensions.
| Ascension | Level Cap | Materials | Credits | Reward |
| 1 | 20 → 30 | Whimsy Wax ×5 | 4,000 | Star Rail Pass |
| 2 | 30 → 40 | Whimsy Wax ×10 | 8,000 | — |
| 3 | 40 → 50 | Dreamweave Steel ×6 + Radiant Prominence ×3 | 16,000 | Star Rail Pass |
| 4 | 50 → 60 | Dreamweave Steel ×9 + Radiant Prominence ×7 | 40,000 | — |
| 5 | 60 → 70 | Lucid Awl ×6 + Radiant Prominence ×20 | 80,000 | Star Rail Pass |
| 6 | 70 → 80 | Lucid Awl ×9 + Radiant Prominence ×35 | 160,000 | — |
| Total | 80 | Wax 15 / Steel 15 / Awl 15 / Prominence 65 | 308,000 |
You will also burn roughly 289 Traveler’s Guides (or the equivalent mix of Adventure Logs and Travel Encounters) for the experience. These are separate from the credit total.
Mortenax Blade Trace Materials
Full Trace investment is where the real cost appears. Mortenax Blade traces demand both the Nihility Phagousa series and the weekly boss material Vanquished Flow’s Reticence.
| Material | Quantity |
| Credits | 3,000,000 |
| Tracks of Destiny | 8 |
| Tear of Phagousa | 18 |
| Wine of Phagousa | 69 |
| Heart of Phagousa | 139 |
| Whimsy Wax | 41 |
| Dreamweave Steel | 56 |
| Lucid Awl | 58 |
| Vanquished Flow’s Reticence | 12 |
Combined with Ascension, the overall farm target sits near 3.3 million credits, 65 Radiant Prominence, and the full Phagousa stack. Prioritize Ultimate and Skill first as those unlock the Zone and the main HP-scaling damage window. Talent comes next for Charge generation and energy recovery. Basic Attack can wait.
Farming Locations for Mortenax Blade Materials
Radiant Prominence drops exclusively from the Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Ashes in the Sanctum of Prophecy Janusopolis. Run it three times daily while Trailblaze Power allows; the later levels give the densest returns. You can also convert excess materials into it via the Omni-Synthesizer if you over-farm other Fire units.
The Tear, Wine, and Heart of Phagousa series all come from the Calyx (Crimson): Bud of Nihility at Radiant Scarwood Grove of Epiphany. Do not confuse it with the Alchemy Commission or Great Mine versions as those drop different materials. Higher Equilibrium levels improve drop rates, so push your world level before heavy farming.
Vanquished Flow’s Reticence is the weekly Echo of War drop from the Rusted Crypt of the Iron Carcass in the Memortis Shore Ruins of Time. You can claim it three times per week. Tracks of Destiny come from Simulated Universe rewards, Nameless Honor, limited events, and the Embers/Starlight Exchange shops and you should never spend these casually on lower-priority characters.
Whimsy Wax, Dreamweave Steel, and Lucid Awl drop from common enemies across Planarcadia and related maps, plus Assignments and synthesis. A daily overworld clear route plus Calyx runs covers most of the volume.
Mortenax Blade Relics and Planar Ornaments
Once Honkai Star Rail Mortenax Blade materials are secured, the next concern is about relics. The clear best-in-slot set is 4-piece Divine-Querying Master Smith: 12% Max HP plus 28% Crit DMG against DEF-reduced enemies, and a team-wide 15% damage buff (Comburent) every time he applies DEF reduction. His kit applies that debuff constantly, so uptime is excellent.
For planar ornaments, Bone Collection’s Serene Demesne is the strongest general option. 12% Max HP and 28% Crit DMG once you cross 5,000 HP. Sprightly Vonwacq is the cleaner choice if you need opening Energy Regeneration and action advance to guarantee Zone uptime on turn one.
Recommended main stats here are Crit Rate (or Crit DMG) body, SPD boots, HP% sphere, and either Energy Regeneration Rate or HP% rope. Substat priority runs Crit Rate = Crit DMG > HP% > SPD. Target at least 6,000–6,500 HP, 134+ SPD, and a strong crit ratio in combat.
Trace Priority and Practical Tips
Level Ultimate and Skill to 8–10 before touching everything else. The major traces (especially the energy overflow and Zone damage amplification) unlock early and provide the largest jumps. Save Tracks of Destiny for the final nodes.
A common mistake you can often engage with is dumping all Trailblaze Power into relics before finishing the Phagousa materials. Finish the Trace tree first because raw stats from a maxed Zone outperform imperfect relics. Once Traces are done, shift fully to the Master Smith cavern.
If the Radiant Prominence and Calyx grind starts eating every day, you can simply top up additional Trailblaze Power and jade resources through Enjoygm so you can keep the farm moving while still pulling for his signature Reforged in Hellfire Light Cone. That cone adds both Max HP and free Energy per wave, which makes Zone uptime far more reliable.
Conclusion
And that is all. With this Honkai Star Rail Mortenax Blade materials guide in hand, the path from Level 1 to a fully operational Infinite Fury hybrid is clear. Farm the Stagnant Shadow and the correct Calyx, lock in the Master Smith set, and the Zone will stay online while both personal damage and team amplification climb.
