Ascension | |||
One of the Genshin Impact characters with the coolest vibes is Beidou, an Electro Vision holder who uses a Claymore in battle. This four-star character is captain of a fleet of ships called the Crux Fleet, and is instrumental in helping the Traveler make their way into Inazuma.
Having been featured on several banners and in Paimon's Bargains, many people have probably pulled this awesome lady. For those looking to help Beidou reach her maximum potential, here's a list of everything you'll need to ascend her, level her up, and upgrade her talents.
Leveling Materials
It takes over 8 million EXP for a Genshin Impact character to reach level 90. Here's how much is needed at each level, as well as the Mora cost:
Level | EXP | Mora |
|---|---|---|
1-20 | 120,175 | 24,200 |
20-40 | 578,325 | 115,800 |

Beidou Ascension Items
To ascend Beidou, players need some items that probably come as no surprise. She's an Electro character, so she of course needs Vajrada Amethyst gems. She'll also need some common enemy drops from Treasure Hoarders, Lightning Prisms from the Electro Hypostasis, and Noctilucous Jade, a specialty of Liyue where Beidou is from. Of course, some Mora is also necessary.
Level | Gems | Enemy Drops | Boss Drops | Specialty | Mora |

20 | 1x Vajrada Amethyst Sliver | 3x Treasure Hoarder Insignia | - | 3x Noctilucous Jade | 20,000 |

Gemstones - Where to Find Vajrada Amethyst
Vajrada Amethyst can be obtained by finishing daily commissions, by converting other element's gemstones, and from special events. A good portion of it will come from defeating bosses and finishing Trounce challenges, though. These bosses will grant Vajrada Amethyst:
- Electro Hypostasis
- Thunder Manifestation
- Coral Defenders
- Primo Geovishap*
- Electro Regisvine
- Iniquitous Baptist
- Millennial Pearl Seahorse
- Dvalin (Confront Stormterror)
- Childe (Enter the Golden House)
- Azhdaha (Beneath the Dragon Queller)*
- The Shogun (End of the Oneiric Euthymia)
- Scaramouche (Joururi Workshop)
*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Vajrada Amethyst when infused with Electro!

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Treasure Hoarder Insignias
It isn't too hard to find the various levels of Treasure Hoarder Insignias, since these enemies can be found almost anywhere. However, they do appear in significant numbers around Dragonspine and old ruins in Liyue.
These enemies will drop higher levels of Insignias when they themselves are at higher levels:
- Any level: Treasure Hoarder Insignias
- Level 40 and up: Silver Raven Insignias
- Level 60 and up: Golden Raven Insignias
Boss Drop - How to Get Lightning Prisms
To help Beidou ascend, she's going to need quite a few Lightning Prisms. These are obtained by defeating the Electro Hypostasis and then paying 40 Original Resin for its rewards, one of which is a couple of Lightning Prisms. They'll drop them at levels 30 and higher.
The Electro Hypostasis can be found in Mondstadt, more specifically at Cape Oath in the far southeast of the region. It can only be damaged when its core is exposed, and it is immune to Electro attacks.
Local Specialty - Where to Find Noctilucous Jade
Each character needs a local specialty from one of the continent's regions, and Beidou's is Noctilucous Jade. This rare mineral can be found in caves all over Liyue. A lot of it can be found in Mingyun Village, near the Guili Plains, and a bit can be found in the first area of the Chasm Underground Mines.
A few can also be purchased from Shitou, the operator of the Jade Mystery in Liyue Harbor. He sells five of them for 1,000 Mora each, and restocks every three days.
Beidou Talent Materials
Beidou has the vibe of a seafaring pirate, so it's kind of fitting that she uses the Gold series of talent books for upgrading her talents. Besides those, she also requires some more Treasure Hoarder Insignias, Mora, one of the drops from defeating Stormterror's Trounce domain, and a few Crowns of Insight. All the required items are outlined in this table, including the totals tripled, since Beidou has three upgradeable talents.
Level | Books | Common Drops | Trounce Mats | Crown of Insight | Mora |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1-2 | 3x Teachings of Gold | 6x Treasure Hoarder Insignia | - | - | 12,500 |
2-3 | 2x Guide to Gold | 3x Silver Raven Insignia | - | - | 17,500 |
3-4 | 4x Guide to Gold | 4x Silver Raven Insignia | - | - | 25,000 |
4-5 | 6x Guide to Gold | 6x Silver Raven Insignia | - | - | 30,000 |
5-6 | 9x Guide to Gold | 9x Silver Raven Insignia | - | - | 37,500 |
6-7 | 4x Philosophies of Gold | 4x Golden Raven Insignia | 1x Dvalin's Sigh | - | 120,000 |
7-8 | 6x Philosophies of Gold | 6x Golden Raven Insignia | 1x Dvalin's Sigh | - | 260,000 |
8-9 | 12x Philosophies of Gold | 9x Golden Raven Insignia | 2x Dvalin's Sigh | - | 450,000 |
9-10 (max) | 16x Philosophies of Gold | 12x Golden Raven Insignia | 2x Dvalin's Sigh | 1x Crown of Insight | 700,000 |
Totals: |

| 6 | 1 | 1,652,500 |
Totals x3: |
|
| 18 | 3 | 4,957,500 |
Talent Books - Gold Series
The Gold series of talent books are used by Beidou, Xinyan, Xingqiu, Zhongli, the Traveler, and Yanfei. They're obtained by defeating the Taishan Mansion domain on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Trounce Materials
The Trounce mat that Beidou uses for her talents is Dvalin's Sigh. This can be collected by defeating, unsurprisingly, Dvalin, also known as Stormterror. If the player has other Dvalin drops and some Dream Solvent, they can convert those into Dvalin's Sigh at a crafting bench.
