The First Descendant has a wide variety of materials you need to craft new characters and weapons. Anode Ion Particles are among the rarer materials required to craft multiple weapons and Descendants.

Anode Ion Particles drop from Elite enemies in Hagios. One of the fastest missions to farm this material is the Broadband Fleet Beacon in Forward Base. The mission takes place in one area where you have to kill enemies, destroy the generator, and stay in the circle with orbital bombardment.

This mission features three Elite enemies that can drop the Anode Ion Particles. The first carries the bomb for the generator, and the other two spawn during the circle phase of the mission. Kill each of them for a chance to get the Anode Ion Particles.

You can also clear the following missions in Hagios to get Anode Ion Particles:

  • Vulgus Blockade battlefield mission
  • Deep Digger battlefield mission
  • Large Supply Transport Point battlefield mission
  • Broadband Fleet Beacon normal mission
  • Antiaircraft defensive position normal mission
  • Ancient Quantum Facility normal mission
  • Tethered Energy position normal mission
  • Ruins Guard Facility normal mission

Most of these missions take 10 to 15 minutes to complete (you can complete them much faster with a well-built Descendant), and each Elite enemy drops one to two Anode Ion Particles, depending on the difficulty.

You need seven Anode Ion Particles to craft weapon parts: 27 for Yujin Spiral Catalyst and 62 for Ultimate Ajax Stabilizer. So, I recommend clearing the missions on Hard difficulty to get more drops.
