Archer Materials Pre-Farm Priorities
Since everyone's stamina is limited and the rewards from weekly boss are the highest among same-difficulty dungeons, it's recommended that you prioritize completing the weekly boss three times first.
After that, move on to the Stagnant Shadows, and once you've collected the required character materials, proceed to the Simulated Sepals for clearing. In short: Echo of War > Stagnant Shadow > Calyx (Crimson).
Farming materials can be very stamina-consuming. If you run out of stamina and need to refuel , check out the discounted HSR top-up offers at LDShop to get the Herta Contract: Fuel Refill at a lower price!
