What is Reserve Trailblaze Power?
Reserve Trailblaze Power is an overflow storage system introduced in version 1.3 (August 30, 2023). It prevents energy waste when you take breaks from the game.
The system activates automatically when regular Trailblaze Power reaches 240. Instead of wasting regeneration, the game accumulates Reserve Power at 1 point every 18 minutes—three times slower than regular power (1 point per 6 minutes).
For additional progression support, honkai star rail oneiric shard top up is available through BitTopup.
Reserve vs Regular Power
Regular Trailblaze Power:
- Regenerates 1 point per 6 minutes
- Caps at 240 points (24 hours)
- Immediately usable for domains
Reserve Trailblaze Power:
- Accumulates 1 point per 18 minutes (only when regular power is maxed)
- Caps at 2400 points (30 days)
- Must be exchanged 1:1 for Regular Power first
- Maximum withdrawal: 240 points per transaction
When Reserve Power Starts
Accumulation begins when Regular Power hits 240. If you spend even 1 point (dropping to 239), Reserve accumulation pauses. It resumes once you reach 240 again.
The 30-Day Cap Explained
Does Accumulation Stop After 30 Days?
Yes. Reserve Power stops completely at 2400 points. At 80 points per day (1440 minutes ÷ 18 = 80), you need exactly 30 days to hit cap (2400 ÷ 80 = 30).
After hitting 2400, no additional Reserve Power accumulates. The system doesn't queue or bank potential accumulation. Every minute beyond this represents permanently lost resources.
Maximum Capacity Breakdown
2400 Reserve Power equals:
- 240 Golden/Crimson Calyx battles (10 power each)
- 60 Cavern of Corrosion runs (40 power each)
- 80 Stagnant Shadow battles (30 power each)
Combined with 240 Regular Power, you have 2640 total power available—equivalent to 11 days of regular regeneration.
Day 31 and Beyond
Your Reserve Power freezes at 2400. It doesn't expire or disappear, but potential accumulation is lost. Returning on day 45 still gives you exactly 2400 Reserve Power, not 3600.
How Reserve Power Accumulates
Regeneration Rates
- Regular Power: 1 point per 6 minutes = 240 points per 24 hours
- Reserve Power: 1 point per 18 minutes = 80 points per 24 hours (when regular power is capped)
Daily Accumulation Timeline
Days 1-30:
- Day 1: Regular Power caps at 240, Reserve begins
- Day 10: 800 Reserve Power
- Day 20: 1600 Reserve Power
- Day 30: 2400 Reserve Power (cap reached)
Day 31+: No additional accumulation. Balance stays at 2400 until withdrawal.
Offline vs Online
Reserve Power accumulates identically whether you're online or offline. The game tracks time server-side. Logging in briefly doesn't interrupt accumulation if Regular Power stays at 240.
Spending any Regular Power immediately halts Reserve accumulation until you hit 240 again.
Checking Your Reserve Balance
How to View Reserve Power
Method 1 - Direct Access:
- Click Regular Trailblaze Power icon (top-right)
- Exchange screen shows Reserve balance
Method 2 - Map Interface:
- Open map
- Check top-right corner
- Reserve Power displays alongside Regular Power
Understanding the Display
The exchange screen shows:
- Current Reserve Balance: 0-2400 points
- Withdrawal Slider: 1-240 points per transaction
- Regular Power Status: 0-240 points
The interface prevents withdrawals exceeding your 240 Regular Power cap. At 200 Regular Power, you can only withdraw 40 Reserve Power.

Calculate Days Offline
Divide Reserve Power by 80:
- 800 Reserve = ~10 days offline
- 1600 Reserve = ~20 days offline
- 2400 Reserve = 30+ days offline
Common Misconceptions
Myth: Reserve Power expires after 30 days False. The 30-day timeframe is the accumulation cap, not expiration. Reserve Power never disappears.
Myth: You lose power if you don't claim it False. Reserve Power accumulates automatically and requires no claiming. It stays in your account indefinitely.
Myth: Trailblazer Level increases Reserve cap False. The 2400 cap is fixed regardless of level or progression.
Truth: What actually happens Your Reserve Power grows at 80 points daily until hitting 2400, then freezes. Withdrawing creates room for new accumulation. No hidden decay or deletions exist.
Strategic Management Tips
Best Practices for Breaks
Pre-Break:
- Spend all Regular and Reserve Power before leaving
- Maximizes the 30-day accumulation window

- Resets accumulation window for another 30 days
- 5-minute login monthly preserves continuous accumulation
Return Planning:
- Coordinate with double-drop events
- Reserve Power during 2x rewards doubles value
Avoiding the 30-Day Cap
Weekly Login:
- Log in once per week
- Withdraw ~560 Reserve Power (7 days × 80)
- Spend on priority farming
Bi-Weekly:
- Log in every 14 days
- Spend 1120 points (14 × 80)
- Requires 2-3 hours gameplay
Monthly Maintenance:
- Log in day 28

- Accumulate Reserve Power before events
- Avoid spending 1-2 weeks prior
Execution:
- Prioritize event-boosted domains
- Withdraw in 240-point increments
- Combine with Fuel items (60 power each)

Daily Balance
Daily Routine:
- Log in when Regular Power approaches 240
- Spend Regular Power on priorities
- If Reserve exceeds 1600, withdraw 240-480 points
- If Reserve below 1600, allow accumulation
Weekly Assessment:
- Review Reserve trends every 7 days
- Optimal balance: 800-1200 points
- Adjust login frequency accordingly
Long-Term Strategy
Early Game (Level 1-40):
- Focus on character ascension
- Build 3-4 core characters
- Avoid relic farming until WL4+
Mid Game (Level 40-60):
- Balance character development with relics
- Begin Cavern runs for basic sets
- Use Reserve for new character catch-up
Late Game (Level 60+):
- Shift to relic optimization
- Maintain 1000+ Reserve as buffer
- Character ascension becomes occasional
Account Maintenance
Login Patterns
Casual Player:
- Log in every 3-4 days
- Accumulate 240-320 Reserve between sessions
- 30-45 minutes per session
- Never risk hitting cap
Active Player:
- Daily logins, zero Reserve accumulation
- Regular Power spent immediately
- Reserve serves as emergency buffer
Returning Player:
- Extended absence builds to 2400
- Single session processes 2640 total power
- Requires 3-4 hours farming
Express Supply Pass Impact
Express Supply Pass provides:
- 90 Stellar Jades daily (convertible to 60 power)
- Additional Fuel items monthly
- Enhanced progression without changing caps
Pass holders face same 240 Regular and 2400 Reserve caps. Additional resources supplement natural regeneration.
F2P vs Light Spender
F2P Optimization:
- Maximize Reserve during content droughts
- Spend aggressively for new characters
- Maintain 1500+ Reserve buffer
- Never buy power refills with Stellar Jades
Light Spender:
- Purchase Express Supply Pass
- Occasional Fuel during critical periods
- Maintain 500-1000 Reserve
- More flexible spending
Both benefit equally from 2400 cap protection.
Usage Schedules
Weekly Template:
- Monday: Character ascension
- Wednesday: Trace materials
- Friday: Relic farming
- Sunday: Check Reserve, withdraw if >1000
- Daily: Spend Regular Power before cap
Event-Driven:
- Week 1: New character materials
- Week 2-3: Moderate spending, build Reserve
- Week 4-5: Relic optimization
- Week 6: Spend Reserve before events
FAQ
Does Reserve Trailblaze Power stop accumulating after 30 days?
Yes. Once it reaches 2400 points (exactly 30 days at 80 points/day), accumulation stops completely. The 2400 points remain safe indefinitely but don't increase.
What's the maximum Reserve Trailblaze Power?
2400 points absolute maximum, universal across all levels and accounts. Combined with 240 Regular Power, you have 2640 total power available.
How do you check Reserve balance?
Open map and check top-right corner, or click Regular Power icon for the exchange screen. Both show real-time balance.
Does Reserve Power expire?
No. Reserve Power never expires or disappears. The 30-day timeframe is the accumulation cap, not expiration. It stays permanently until you withdraw it.
What happens after 30 days offline?
Reserve Power freezes at 2400. It doesn't continue accumulating but doesn't decrease either. Additional time beyond 30 days means lost potential accumulation, but existing 2400 points remain safe.
Can you exceed the 2400 cap?
No. The cap is absolute. The game doesn't queue or store potential accumulation beyond 2400. Accumulation stops until you withdraw some power.
