Incandescent Alloy
Incandescent Alloy is an upgrade material in Arknights, introduced alongside Episode 06.
An alloy smelted from several rare Terran metals. Used to manufacture rare electronic components and circuit boards, it has become an indispensable material in the cutting-edge electronics industry.
Usage
The first of the Incandescent Alloy-type upgrade materials, Incandescent Alloy is made up of many Terran rare earth elements smelted together, resulting in a new type of alloy essential for advanced electronics components and circuit boards due to its significantly higher melting point than other similar alloy, allowing it to avoid the Meissner effect. Incandescent Alloy are used in the advanced skill upgrades, Mastery training, and Elite 2 promotion of certain Operators introduced from Episode 06 onwards.
Acquisition
Store
- Up to 10 Incandescent Alloy can be purchased at the second tier of the Distinctions Store for 35

Trivia
- Due to a programming mistake, the Incandescent Alloy, along with Incandescent Alloy Block,
Coagulating Gel, and 
Polymerized Gel are available as early as the Code of Brawl event on the JP and KR servers, but only as byproducts of Workshop upgrade material processing, which caused the event's update maintenance on both servers to be extended by 4 hours to rectify this.
