Known for her incredible teamwide action advance and synergy with follow-up attack units and dual-DPS teams, she's poised to be a game-changer. For those aiming to max her out on day one, pre-farming is the name of the game. This guide breaks down every single material and Credit cost you'll need to take Robin from level 1 to a fully maxed-out powerhouse. Let's get into it! 🚀

Just a heads up, some of these Dream-related materials are brand new and won't be available until patch 2.2 goes live. So, plan your farming schedule accordingly!
Trace & Skill Max-Out: The Real Resource Sink 📈
Now, for the main event—maxing out all of Robin's traces to level 10. This is where the bulk of your resources will go. Buckle up!

The Grand Total & Final Checklist ✅
Let's sum it all up. To fully max Robin—level 80, all traces at level 10, and all ascensions—you'll need:
| Resource Type | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Total Credits | ~3.8 Million | The big number! 💸 |
| Traveler's Guide | 290 | For character XP |
| Celestial Section | 69 | Trace material |
| Heavenly Melody | 139 | Trace material |
| Tracks of Destiny | 8 | Premium trace material |
| Past Evils... | 12 | Weekly Boss material |
| IPC Work Permit | 65 | Ascension material |
A quick reminder: This guide covers character and trace materials only. The cost for leveling her Light Cone and Relics can vary wildly depending on what you already have in your inventory, so that's a separate grind altogether.
Why Pre-Farm for Robin? 🤔
Robin isn't just another support; she's a meta-defining unit. Her ultimate's teamwide action advance is crazy valuable, especially for 0-cycle speedruns and enabling hyper-carry or dual-DPS setups. Having her ready to go on day one means you can immediately test her in Memory of Chaos, Pure Fiction, and the new Simulated Universe content. Trust me, the investment is so worth it.
Final Thoughts & Good Luck! ✨
Pre-farming can feel like a chore, but the payoff is immense. Start stockpiling those Credits, Stellar Jades, and energy for the new patch domains. With Robin by your side, your team's performance is about to level up, big time. Happy farming, Trailblazers! May your pulls be blessed, and your resources plentiful. 🎉
