Phoenix Materials Overview

Phoenix Promotion Materials

Before you can max out Phoenix's skills or equip her with her signature W-Engine, you need to push her to Level 60. Her promotion materials follow the standard Fire Anomaly template, which means some of them overlap with other Anomaly Agents you may have already built. If you've invested in characters like Burnice or Jane Doe, you likely already have some of these materials sitting in your inventory.

Below is the full list of materials needed to take Phoenix Reffaella from Lv.1 to Lv.60.

MaterialRequired Amount

Basic Anomaly Certification SealBasic Anomaly Certification Seal4
Advanced Anomaly Certification SealAdvanced Anomaly Certification Seal32
Controller Certification SealController Certification Seal30
Tips:The Anomaly Certification Seals are shared with every Anomaly Agent, so leftovers from other Anomaly builds count toward Phoenix. They come from Combat Simulation.

Phoenix Skill Level-Up Materials

Phoenix has five upgradable skills: Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack. If you want to use her at full potential, you'll need to max all five. The good news is that her skill materials are shared with every Fire Agent, so any leftovers from Burnice or other Fire builds count toward Phoenix.

Her Core Skill is the highest-priority upgrade, but her Basic Attack and Special Attack also matter for her damage loop. The materials below cover all five skills.

Specialized Burn ChipSpecialized Burn Chip250
Hamster Cage PassHamster Cage Pass5
Tips:Burn Chips are shared with every Fire Agent, so leftovers from Burnice or other Fire builds count toward Phoenix. Hamster Cage Pass is also used for her Core Skill, which needs 5 additional passes.

Phoenix Core Skill Materials

Phoenix's Core Skill is called Nirvana, and it's the part of her kit that makes her stand out. It gives her +85 Anomaly Proficiency, and when any squad member deals Attribute Anomaly DMG, the enemy gets inflicted with Sear for 20 seconds. Enemies affected by Sear also take Fire DMG equal to 50% of her ATK every 8 seconds.

The key mechanic is that Attribute Anomaly DMG against Seared enemies can CRIT, with a base 30% CRIT Rate and 25% CRIT DMG. Every point of initial Anomaly Mastery above 155 adds 0.7% CRIT Rate, and at 255 Anomaly Mastery, the CRIT Rate hits its maximum.

Upgrading her Core Skill increases her Anomaly Proficiency and strengthens the Anomaly CRIT effect. It's the highest-priority upgrade for her.

Tips: The Counterfeit Nucleus and Bloodstained Miasma Feather come from new Version 3.3 enemies, so they can't be prefarmed yet. Everything else can be farmed ahead of release.

Phoenix Signature W-Engine Materials

Nirvana Plume is Phoenix's signature W-Engine. It provides 713 Base ATK, 30% Anomaly Mastery, and +90 Anomaly Proficiency. When any squad member's Attribute Anomaly DMG scores a CRIT, the wearer gains 40% Fire DMG for 20 seconds. Repeated triggers refresh the duration.

Here are the materials needed to max it:

Tips: If you're skipping the W-Engine Channel, Angel in the Shell and Weeping Gemini are strong alternatives. Angel in the Shell brings 90 Anomaly Proficiency and boosts Anomaly and Disorder damage. Weeping Gemini grants 30 Anomaly Proficiency per stack, up to 4 stacks.

Conclusion

Phoenix Reffaella arrives in Version 3.3 Phase 1 on October 21, 2026, alongside her signature W-Engine, Plume of Rebirth. Her materials follow the standard Fire Anomaly template, so any leftovers from Burnice or other Anomaly builds count toward her. The Notorious Hunt and Expert Challenge materials come from new 3.3 enemies, so prioritize the farmable materials first.
