Want Ayaka Talent and Ascension materials? We’ve got you covered. Ayaka is one of the strongest Cryo DPS characters in Genshin, and if you have her or pull for her, you will want Ayaka to perform at her best.

Ayaka Ascension Materials
Every character in Genshin Impact requires Ascension Materials to break through level caps that limit progression. Ayaka is no different, and the materials you need to gather are as plentiful as ever. Ascension Materials are in short supply, but this is also dependent on how much of the Regional Speciality you can gather. Some are in plentiful supply, while others are sorely lacking.
Here are the Ayaka Ascension Materials you’ll need, along with how much Mora is required for each phase.
| Ascension Phase | Ayaka Ascension Materials | Mora |
|---|---|---|
| Level 20 | x1 Shivada Jade Sliver, x3 Old Handguard, x3 Sakura Bloom | 20,000 |
| Level 40 | x3 Shivada Jade Fragment, x15 Old Handguard, x10 Sakura Bloom, x2 Perpetual Heart | 40,000 |
| Level 50 | x6 Shivada Jade Fragment, x12 Kageuchi Handguard, x20 Sakura Bloom, x4 Perpetual Heart | 60,000 |
| Level 60 | x3 Shivada Jade Chunk, x18 Kageuchi Handguard, x30 Sakura Bloom, x8 Perpetual Heart | 80,000 |

| Level 80 | x6 Shivada Jade Gemstone, x24 Famed Handguard, x60 Sakura Bloom, x20 Perpetual Heart | 120,000 |
In total, Ayaka will need all of these Ascension materials to fully Ascend from level 20 to 90 in Genshin Impact:
- x1 Shivada Jade Sliver
- x6 Shivada Jade Gemstone
- x9 Shivada Jade Fragment
- x9 Shivada Jade Chunk
- x18 Old Handguard
- x30 Kageuchi Handguard
- x36 Famed Handguard

The Perpetual Heart is a boss item dropped by the Perpetual Mechanical Array World Boss found in Inazuma, in a cave called the Araumi Ruins which is located under the ocean to the north of the Grand Narukami Shrine. This boss can only be reached through an underground cave in Araumi, on the north tip of Narukami Island.
Ayaka Talent Materials
Outside of Ascension materials, Ayaka Talent Materials are also needed to level her Talents and improve her abilities, which will significantly boost her DPS. As is the case with every character, three Talents can be levelled up and they are for the character’s Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst.
The maximum level for these Talents is 10. To get to level 10 of any Talent you will need a lot of materials, and these are different between each character. The Crown of Insight item is also needed for the final rank of the Talent. Let’s take a look at Ayaka’s Talent Materials you need to level up one Talent for Ayaka in Genshin Impact:
