HSR Currency Wars: Fast Bond Link Farming Guide

Currency Wars offers a generous 4,000 Stellar Jades, but the single biggest time sink is easily the Bond Link section, worth 1,200 Stellar Jades, requiring you to unlock 12 faction bonds + 11 school bonds.

Doing them one by one would mean 23 full clears... which is practically torture. Thankfully, you absolutely don’t need to do 23 runs.

This guide breaks down how Bond Link works and provides 12 optimized team setups that let you efficiently clear all bonds at A5 difficulty with minimal headache.

First: Where are the Jades coming from?

Before we get to the Bond Link farming, here is the total breakdown of the 4,000 Jades available so you don't miss anything:

Source	Reward	Requirement
Startup Guide	Stellar Jade x 400	Each chapter gives you 100 each. 400 in total.
Ascension Level	Stellar Jade x 1,200	Reach Ascension Level 80.
Bond Link	Stellar Jade x 1,200	Unlock all Faction & School bonds.
Data Bank	Stellar Jade x 240	Complete collection quests.
Point Rewards	Stellar Jade x 225	Refreshes every 2 weeks.
Expected Profit	Stellar Jade x 200	General progression reward.
Rank Rewards	Stellar Jade x 600	Reach Rank A8 (High difficulty challenge)

 

Before You Start: Reach A5

Your first goal in Currency Wars is simply:

Reach A5: Amethyst Gold 1

Do not try to farm these bonds on the greatest difficulty. A5 is important because Bond Link only unlock at this rank, and A5 is intentionally low difficulty—enemy level is only 30. This rank is perfect for farming since:

• You don’t need high ratings (even 1 HP clears count)
• Runs are significantly faster than higher ranks

Once you hit A5, stop climbing and begin farming Bond Link.

 

Understanding Bond Link Efficiently

Most characters tend to have a faction bond and a school bond. To unlock a bond, all you need is to finish a run with enough characters that belong to that bond. Do remember that rating doesn’t matter, even a scuffed clear works.

The fastest approach is simply planning each run around the bonds you still need, instead of going in blind:

• Try to draft teams that can satisfy one faction bond and one school bond in the same run when possible. This won’t work every time, but hitting two bonds together is what allows you to finish all rewards in roughly 12–13 runs instead of 23.
• Prioritize the lower-character factions like IPC, Stellaron Hunters, and Galaxy Ranger first.
• Emblems can reduce the number of characters required for a bond, making some combinations much easier.
• Don’t stress about rating. Any clear counts.
• Reset early if your draft clearly won’t meet the bond requirement.

This simple planning approach is what makes the 12 recommended team setups effective for fast Bond Link completion.

The following combinations are designed so that:

Tips

Factors that affect speed:

• Whether you get the necessary Emblems
• If the game offers the right characters early
• How optimized your routing is

Even with some unlucky drafts, you’ll still finish extremely quickly compared to doing bonds one by one.

 

Conclusion

Bond Link is easily the most time-consuming part of Currency Wars, but with smart planning, you can knock out all 23 bonds in around a dozen A5 runs. Use the setups above, and you’ll claim your 1,200 Stellar Jades far faster than doing things the slow traditional way.

If you follow these routes, you’ll wrap up Currency Wars quickly and move on with a hefty stash of Stellar Jade for future banners.
