Reduce is the ability to break down a SR or SSR weapon or summon into materials. The option to reduce an item can be found from the Inventory status screen for that item. Items that are currently equipped to a party or that have been favorited cannot be reduced; remove the item from all parties and unfavorite it in order to see the Reduce button.
Weapons reduce into weapon stones corresponding to the weapon type, and high orbs and whorls that correspond to the weapon's element. Summons reduce into elemental quartz corresponding to the summon's element as well as various tiers of prisms. Farmable items such as raid drops and event rewards will reduce into fewer items than items obtained via Premium Draws. Items obtained from the Casino count as Premium for the purposes of reduction. Additionally, weapons with multiple upgrade stages have varying reduction payouts.
Player elemental skill mastery will increase the number of materials received from Reduce for premium SSR items.
Uncapped items have the equivalent yield of reducing multiples of the same item; in other words, reducing 2 0★ SSR weapons gives you the same number of weapon stones, orbs, and whorls as reducing 1 of the same SSR weapon as a 1★. However, the elemental skill mastery bonus is solely per item, so, if you have a high enough skill to receive a bonus, you would receive more items from two 0★ items than the equivalent 1★ item. As a notable exception, Normal Showdown Summons use relatively inexpensive 4★ uncap materials (most notably no Elemental Quartz), which means it is possible to reduce them for the equivalent of 5 copies at the cost of only 4, and earns you an extra 14 Quartz over reducing each copy individually with the best possible elemental skill bonus.
Weapon skill level have no effect on the result.

Reduction Advice
Before reducing anything, consider the Elemental Quartz and Weapon Stones available from the Pendant Shop.
Also note that it is essentially never recommended to reduce SSR Premium Draw items.
- Quartz and Weapon Stones are relatively easy to acquire from Farmable sources
- Even the most niche or dubious Weapon or Summon could find a use or be specifically required for reduction in a future update.
- e.g., Optimus Anima
General Guidelines
- See also: Basic Grids#Inventory Management
- Reserving weapons and summons will, over time, give you
Lazuline Vessel and
Scarlet Vessel that can be used in bulk when Upgrading.
- Reserving weapons with weapon skills will additionally give R, SR or SSR weapon skill levels to the Craftsman's Anvil.
- Reducing a weapon or summon will give you Weapon Stones or Elemental Quartz respectively. These materials will be needed in the future for uncapping items.
- In general, you should only reserve or reduce FARMABLE weapons or summons (i.e. weapons or summons that drop from raids or come from events. This does not generally include Side Story weapons, which are only purchasable a limited number of times from the Side Story's shop).
- Use the in-game filtering system to easily sort between Premium Draw Items (Weapons/Summons from the gacha) and ones that are farmable. This can be found under the Filter > Other > Group 2 > Draw Item section in the Inventory menu.

In-game Help
Weapons and summons of rarity SR or higher can be reduced for treasures specific to that weapon or summon. Bonus treasure will also be obtained based on your upgrade skill level for the relevant weapon. Reducing can be done from the Inventory, Stash, or Crate screens.
Certain items, such as Archangel equipment and Rusted weapons, can't be reduced.
