Kamisato Ayaka is one of the strongest Cryo DPS characters in Genshin Impact, and getting her to full potential takes a fairly long shopping list. Here’s exactly what she needs to reach level 90 with maxed talents, and where to farm every single item.

Kamisato Ayaka Ascension Materials List

Ayaka is a Cryo character, so she uses Shivada Jade as her elemental ascension gem. Here is everything you need to take her from level 1 to level 90.

• Ascension 1 (Level 20): 20,000 Mora, 1 Shivada Jade Sliver, 3 Sakura Bloom, 3 Old Handguard

• Ascension 3 (Level 50): 60,000 Mora, 6 Shivada Jade Fragment, 4 Perpetual Heart, 20 Sakura Bloom, 12 Kageuchi Handguard
• Ascension 4 (Level 60): 80,000 Mora, 3 Shivada Jade Chunk, 8 Perpetual Heart, 30 Sakura Bloom, 18 Kageuchi Handguard
• Ascension 5 (Level 70): 100,000 Mora, 6 Shivada Jade Chunk, 12 Perpetual Heart, 45 Sakura Bloom, 12 Famed Handguard
• Ascension 6 (Level 80): 120,000 Mora, 6 Shivada Jade Gemstone, 20 Perpetual Heart, 60 Sakura Bloom, 24 Famed Handguard

Total materials to fully ascend Ayaka to level 90: 420,000 Mora, 46 Perpetual Heart, 1 Shivada Jade Sliver, 9 Shivada Jade Fragment, 9 Shivada Jade Chunk, 6 Shivada Jade Gemstone, 168 Sakura Bloom, 18 Old Handguard, 30 Kageuchi Handguard, and 36 Famed Handguard.

Where To Farm Kamisato Ayaka Ascension Materials

Sakura Bloom Locations

Sakura Bloom is an Inazuma local specialty, appearing as glowing pink petals floating around Narukami Island, especially near the Grand Narukami Shrine. Only around 75 spawn at a time, and they respawn every two days, so bringing an Electro character makes collection much faster since Electro attacks pull the petals toward you.

Perpetual Heart – Perpetual Mechanical Array Farming

Perpetual Heart drops from the Perpetual Mechanical Array, a boss hidden below Jinren Island in Inazuma. You’ll need to reach its arena through a portal on Jinren Island, or by completing the Cleansing Defilement questline first. Each fight costs 40 Original Resin.

Old, Kageuchi, and Famed Handguard

All three Handguard types drop from Nobushi and Kairagi enemies, samurai-type foes found in groups across Inazuma. Higher-level Kairagi and Nobushi drop the upgraded Kageuchi and Famed versions, so seek out tougher enemy camps once your Adventure Rank increases.

Kamisato Ayaka Talent Materials List

Ayaka has three talents that can be upgraded from level 1 to level 10: Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst. Her talent books belong to the Elegance series, farmed from the Violet Court domain in Inazuma.

• Level 2: 3 Teachings of Elegance, 6 Old Handguard, 12,500 Mora
• Level 3: 2 Guide to Elegance, 3 Kageuchi Handguard, 17,500 Mora
• Level 4: 4 Guide to Elegance, 4 Kageuchi Handguard, 25,000 Mora
• Level 5: 6 Guide to Elegance, 6 Kageuchi Handguard, 30,000 Mora
• Level 6: 9 Guide to Elegance, 9 Kageuchi Handguard, 37,500 Mora
• Level 7: 4 Philosophies of Elegance, 4 Famed Handguard, 120,000 Mora
• Level 8: 6 Philosophies of Elegance, 6 Famed Handguard, 260,000 Mora
• Level 9: 12 Philosophies of Elegance, 9 Famed Handguard, 450,000 Mora
• Level 10: 16 Philosophies of Elegance, 12 Famed Handguard, 1 Crown of Insight, 700,000 Mora

Remember to multiply every number above by 3 if you want to max all three of Ayaka’s talents instead of just one.

Teachings, Guide, and Philosophies of Elegance

These talent books drop from the Violet Court domain in Inazuma, which is only open on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Plan your farming days around this schedule since the domain isn’t available every day.

Handguards For Talents

Talent leveling uses the same Old, Kageuchi, and Famed Handguards as ascension, all dropped by Nobushi and Kairagi enemies across Inazuma. It helps to farm a large batch at once since you need a lot of Famed Handguard for the higher talent levels.

Crown of Insight

Crown of Insight cannot be farmed directly. You get it from limited-time events or by completing seasonal offerings such as the Frostbearing Tree, Sacred Sakura Offering, Lumenstone Adjuvant, and Tree of Dreams. Save your Crowns for characters you use the most, since they are rare.

Total Materials Needed To Max Kamisato Ayaka

Fully ascending and maxing all three of Ayaka’s talents takes roughly 5.3 million Mora in total. On top of that, budget for 168 Sakura Bloom, 46 Perpetual Heart, well over 200 combined Handguards across all three tiers, and 3 Crown of Insight. This is one of the more Mora-intensive characters to fully build, so plan your commissions and farming days accordingly.

Kamisato Ayaka Ascension And Talent Farming Route

The most efficient route is to farm Handguards from Nobushi and Kairagi camps around Inazuma while collecting Sakura Bloom near Narukami Island on the same trip. Clear the Perpetual Mechanical Array using your weekly resin for Perpetual Heart, and check the Violet Court domain schedule so you only farm talent books on Tuesday, Friday, or Sunday.

Is Kamisato Ayaka Worth Ascending And Leveling in 2026

Yes, especially if you run Freeze teams. Ayaka’s Elemental Burst deals heavy, reliable Cryo damage and her alternate sprint lets her apply Cryo quickly before engaging. She performs best alongside Hydro characters for Freeze setups and other Cryo units to help charge her Burst. She doesn’t need constellations to perform as a top-tier main DPS, making her a strong investment even at C0.

Genshin Impact is available on PC, Android, iOS, PlayStation, Epic Games Store, and Xbox.
