How to raise Trailblaze Level in Honkai: Star Rail
Increase your Trailblaze Level to keep up with the story and unlock upgrades
How can I increase my Trailblaze Level in Honkai: Star Rail? Honkai: Star Rail features a few different levelling systems for things like individual characters and equipment, but your Trailblaze Level is arguably the central one. Trailblaze Level represents the overall progress of your user profile through the game, and you'll intermittently need to level up to a certain point before you can continue on with the story or unlock a new gameplay feature.
If you just mainline your way through the story, your Trailblaze Level will usually keep up with the pace, but you'll hit a few spots where you need to gain a few more levels before you can carry on. Luckily there are a few different ways you can gain Trailblaze EXP in order to level up, so read on below for every method you can use to increase your Trailblaze Level in Honkai: Star Rail.
How to raise Trailblaze Level in Honkai: Star Rail
The following activities grant Trailblaze EXP in Honkai: Star Rail:
- Completing Trailblaze Missions (main story quests).
- Completing Adventure Missions (side quests).
- Completing Companion Missions (friendship quests).
- Completing Daily Training Activities (Daily Mission plus five other randomised activities).
- Consuming Trailblaze Power to take part in any of the following material-farming challenges:

Daily Training Activities and Trailblaze EXP
Daily Missions do not grant Trailblaze EXP as rewards for completion. However, Daily Missions do count towards your Daily Training Activity Points, which pay out EXP up to a certain daily cap.
Similarly, engaging in combat does not inherently grant Trailblaze EXP, although many Daily Training Activities revolve around combat feats.
Each Daily Training Activity grants 100-200 Activity Points, with rewards including Trailblaze EXP unlocking for every 100 Activity Points you gain up to a maximum of 500. Therefore, it's not necessary to complete all of your Daily Training Activities to gain the maximum Trailblaze EXP for the day.
The available Trailblaze EXP per day from Daily Training Activities varies from 1,000 (200 EXP per 100 Activity Points at Equilibrium 0) to 1,600 (320 EXP per 100 Activity Points at Equilibrium IV).
