Genshin Impact Ayaka guide — Weapons, artifacts, and talents

Character ascension materials

Ayaka’s character ascension materials can be found all over Teyvat.

Here they are:

• Handguards – Dropped by Nobushi, the samurai that have turned to banditry. Take a look at our Nobushi/Handguard farming guide to learn about dozens of locations.
• Shivada Jade – Dropped by the Cryo Regisvine, Cryo Hypostasis, and Andrius; purchased from Souvenir Shop; higher-tier versions can be crafted by an alchemist NPC.
• Perpetual Heart – Dropped by the Perpetual Mechanical Array.
• Sakura Bloom – Found all over Narukami Island in Inazuma. You can refer to our Sakura Bloom farming guide for its locations.

Note: Ayaka gains extra crit damage from certain ascension/leveling thresholds.

Anyway, let’s talk about what you can expect when Ayaka is in your Genshin Impact team.
