Nangong Yu Prefarm Priority
For Nangong Yu pre-farm, prioritize time-gated and high-impact materials first, then shift into pure Battery sinks. Start with Hamster Cage Pass, since it mainly comes from the New Eridu City Fund and limited-time events—these are restricted sources, so you cannot brute-force them with stamina. Secure these early and reserve them for her core skill upgrades.
Next, focus on Stun Certification Seals (Basic → Advanced → Arbiter) for her ascension and signature W-Engine. These are mandatory to push her to Lv.60 and unlock stat scaling, so farming them steadily prevents bottlenecks at higher tiers. While doing seal runs, keep an eye on your total Denny requirement, as her full build demands over 3.7 million.
After ascension materials are stable, dump the bulk of your remaining Battery into Ether Chips—especially Specialized Ether Chips. Skill upgrades consume a large volume (250 total), but they are consistently farmable, making them the safest long-term stamina investment once limited materials are secured.

How to get Hamster Cage Pass?

Its main sources are the New Eridu City Fund battle pass (1 from the Basic Plan, an extra from the Growth Plan) and limited-time events, so it’s best saved for your main DPS or core skill upgrades.
