Farm all 3 parts
~20 runs solo
~7 runs in a radshare · on average · hardest: Stars from Axi V10 · 3 relics still drop
Both routes are fair. 35p gets Hikou Prime now, or farming all 3 parts takes about 20 runs solo on average (7 runs in a four-player radshare), plus the missions to collect the relics.
Here are part specific prices:
| Part | Price | Farm (average runs) | Best move |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blueprint | 4p | 4 solo · 1 radshare (Axi S8) | Either |
| Pouch ×2 | 2 × 10p = 20p | 8 solo · 3 radshare (Lith C7) | Farm |
| Stars ×2 | 2 × 9p = 18p | 8 solo · 3 radshare (Axi V10) | Either |

How To Get Hikou Prime Relics
Start with the Stars ×2 - the hardest part to collect in the set and comes from an Axi Relic which is the hardest to farm. Best Source: Axi V10 - farm it at Arc Silver, Veil Proxima (Caches). With a squad all opening Axi V10 at Intact, your chances increase to 68.91% per run vs 25.33% solo.

How To Farm Hikou Prime
Optimal approach
- Go for the Stars first. Getting all 2 required copies takes the most runs at the given refinement making it the hardest to farm. Even then the part is not guaranteed (Pray to RNGesus!).
- Best Relic to focus on is Axi V10.
- With all four players opening Axi V10 at Intact, you have a 68.91% chance per run vs 25.33% when running solo. So opening the same relic as a squad is always better.
- After that: Pouch from Lith C7 (25.33% per-player at Intact). Repeat farming and opening the relic until you have everything you need.
Refinement and radshares
- Use Intact (0 Traces) on Axi V10 while going for the Stars. For squad odds, all four players must open that relic at Intact. This increases your chances of getting the part.
- As per the game odds, you can expect roughly 3 Intact share runs for 50% odds of getting all 2 required copies, compared with about 7 solo runs.
- Keep relics Intact for Common rewards. Radiant gives the highest chance for Uncommon and Rare rewards; use the refinement listed for each part in the farming plan. Never open Axi relics for rare parts solo, it's not worth it.
