Tips
Anomaly Hunt boss drops are the primary source for character-specific materials. Rotate through the Hunts the characters you are currently leveling actually need, rather than running the same one every day.
The Chameleon Package and Material Selection Boxes let you pick a tier-matched substance, which is useful when RNG leaves you short on the one material your current Ascension Phase is gated on.
