Ayaka’s Ascension: From Zero to Heroine in Teyvat
You pulled the frosty princess, Kamisato Ayaka, in Genshin Impact? Congrats! You’ve got a top-tier Cryo DPS. Before you unleash her full potential, gather materials for her ascension. This is your guide to Ayaka’s power-up.
Essentials for Kamisato Ayaka
Ayaka needs items to ascend through six phases. She requires gemstones, Mora (nothing is free in Teyvat), and special items. Consider it her ‘to-do’ list before achieving peak performance. Check this guide for all ascension and talent materials.
Local Flavor: Sakura Bloom
First on our list are Sakura Blooms. These pink petals grow on Narukami Island. They are not common flowers; they are crucial for Ayaka’s growth. You can’t pick them easily. Use an Electro ability to find them. Sakura Blooms respawn every two real-world days. Mark your map for your next gathering.
Boss Material Bonanza for Ayaka
Ascending Ayaka requires battling tough foes.
Perpetual Mechanical Array and Perpetual Heart
The Perpetual Mechanical Array is not just annoying; it helps in Ayaka’s ascension. This boss drops Shivada Jade, a Cryo ascension material, and Perpetual Heart. Ayaka needs many Perpetual Hearts to ascend. Find the boss arena entrance on Jinren Island. It takes effort, but the rewards are worth it. For more boss material strategies, check guides like this one for Shenhe’s ascension materials on IGN.
Azhdaha and Bloodjade Branch
Even though Ayaka is from Inazuma, she needs Liyue materials to ascend. You need to defeat Azhdaha weekly to get Bloodjade Branches. It’s an interesting twist that enriches the game. Think of it as a weekly mission to strengthen your Kamisato princess. You can also look into talent materials. TheGamer has guides on Genshin Impact talents to strengthen Ayaka’s abilities beyond ascension. Gather Sakura Blooms, defeat the Perpetual Mechanical Array and Azhdaha, and watch your frosty princess become more powerful in battle. Good luck, Traveler!
