The Honkai Star Rail 2.6 patch introduces a new stage, Stagnant Shadow: Shape of Timbre, accessible to all Trailblazers. Completing this stage, regardless of the difficulty level, rewards players with the “Chordal Mirage” ascension material.

This material is essential for ascending the upcoming Imaginary element characters, distinct from older ones like DHIL. Additionally, players should collect this material for Rappa upon her release, as it will be necessary alongside other materials to maximize her level.
