Honkai Impact 3rd: Crystals, Asterite & Supply Cards
Honkai Impact 3rd gifts may combine Supply resources, shop currency, activity tickets or materials. These categories develop a Captain’s account in different ways. Use the exact item name to distinguish a pull, a sweep, stamina recovery and a selectable cosmetic reward.
Quick answer
Crystals and Supply cards can support Supply drops, while Asterite is used for selected shop exchanges. HOHO Vacation Tickets pay for eligible LITE sweeps. Stamina Potions recover an activity resource, and an outfit option gives the choice described by its own selector.[1][2][4][5][7][8]

| Item or resource | Where it is used | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Crystals | Supply and other Crystal-priced options | Free Crystals are not automatically paid top-up progress. |
| Equipment Supply Card | A pull on the matching Equipment Supply | Older guides may use the name Focused Supply Card. |
| Asterite | Specified materials and fragments in Asterite Shop | Check the stock, price and individual purchase limit. |
| HOHO Vacation Tickets | Supported LITE sweeps | They are not tickets for Supply drops. |
| Stamina Potion | Stamina recovery | Read the exact potion’s description; the quantity is an item count. |
| Crafting materials | Inputs for the selected recipe | A recipe can need more than one kind of material. |
| Outfit option / selector | One of the named options | The preview can show alternatives, not several rewards granted together. |
Crystals and Equipment Supply Cards
Crystals can fund Supply drops, stamina refills and premium purchases. The community item reference also distinguishes paid top-ups from free Crystals: a shared balance does not mean a free reward contributes to a top-up promotion.[1]
An Equipment Supply Card pays for one Equipment Supply pull without consuming Crystals. It is a draw resource for equipment, rather than a direct weapon selector. The community card history explains that older guides may call it a Focused Supply Card; that English name changed in version 7.3.[2][3]
What is Asterite used for?
The community Asterite Shop reference lists material purchases and specific Valkyrie fragments, including Valkyrie Boltstorm and Valkyrie Blastmetal fragments. This makes Asterite useful for targeted accumulation, rather than another name for the currency spent on random Supply drops. The listed stock has item-specific purchase limits.[4]
How HOHO Vacation Tickets work
HOHO Vacation Tickets serve LITE sweeps, not Supply pulls. HoYoverse’s version 7.9 announcement explicitly describes spending them on Quick LITE in Realms of Battle to obtain Challenge Stars and their rewards.[5]
The community LITE reference adds a useful distinction: Universal Mirage sweeps still require Invites of Mirage, and the relevant stage must first be cleared to unlock sweeping. Tickets automate an eligible activity; they do not replace every entry resource. Its documented examples also include Adventure Tasks, Weekly Quiz, Armada Sim Battle and Material Expeditions.[6]
Stamina Potion effects
The community item description for the specifically named Stamina Potion records 30 Stamina per potion and says it cannot be used when Stamina is full. One potion in a bundle therefore means one consumable with that effect, not one point of Stamina. This amount should not be transferred to differently named recovery items.[7]
Crafting materials and outfit selectors
Source Prisms and Ether Fuel can work together in a crafting recipe. The official version 9.0 announcement specifies two Source Prisms plus 600 Ether Fuel to craft a Weeping Philosopher stigma. That is a documented recipe example, not a universal price for every stigma or upgrade.[8]
The same announcement describes Sweet Dream Fantasy Outfit Option as a choice between three named outfits or 8,000 Asterite. A selector grants the selected option, not the entire preview. An outfit choice and a material budget address different goals.[8]
Using the items in a mixed reward
Our advice
When a code lists both Crystals and a Stamina Potion, leave them as two resources in your checklist. Decide on a Supply objective independently of the activity you would run with restored stamina. If the gift instead contains an outfit option, read its actual choice screen before opening it; do not treat the full set of displayed alternatives as your inventory gain.[1][7][8]
Reward and resource questions
Are HOHO Vacation Tickets used for Supply pulls?
They are documented for supported LITE sweeps. The official version 7.9 announcement gives Realms of Battle Quick LITE as an example. Supply cards are a separate category.[2][5]
What can I use Asterite for?
The cited community shop reference documents selected material and Valkyrie-fragment exchanges with item-specific limits. Check the live Asterite Shop for the actual stock you can buy.[4]
Does a Stamina Potion reward mean that many points of stamina?
The reward quantity counts potions. The referenced item named Stamina Potion restores 30 Stamina, but that value should not be assumed for differently named recovery items. Check the item description before using it.[7]
