Ganyu is an adeptus, a member of the Liyue Qixing, and often considered one of the strongest characters in Genshin Impact. This Cryo bow user is a five-star pull that you can only obtain during her limited-time banners. But, if you manage to add her to your team, you've got a very powerful ally for help in combat.
Ganyu is one of the best investments for your resources, since she can deal massive amounts of Cryo damage. If you want to level her up and upgrade her talents, here's everything you'll need.
Leveling Materials
An important number in Genshin Impact is 8,362,650, which is how much EXP every character needs to hit the maximum level of 90. Here's a combination of Mora and EXP materials that will get you there:
|
Wanderer's Advice |
12 |
|
Adventurer's Experience |
15 |
|
Hero's Wit |
414 |
|
Mora Cost |
1,673,400 |
Ganyu's Ascension Cost and Item Locations
Every Cryo character, including Ganyu, uses Shivada Jade as an ascension material. Here's how many you'll need:
|
Gem |
Number |
|---|---|
|
Shivada Jade Sliver |
1 |
|
Shivada Jade Fragment |
9 |
|
Shivada Jade Chunk |
9 |
|
Shivada Jade Gemstone |
6 |
Gemstones are just one part of the equation, though. You'll also need a handful of other materials.
Get ready to tackle a ton of Whopperflowers, because you need their drops to ascend Ganyu and upgrade her talents. Luckily, they can be found almost anywhere.
Next, turn your attention to an even larger Whopperflower, the Cryo Regisivine in Mondstadt. You'll need the Hoarfrost Cores that it drops to ascend Ganyu.
Finally, check around the tops of mountain peaks in Liyue's Minlin and Wuwang Hill areas. You'll need to find small white flowers, Qingxin, to ascend Ganyu. These can also be grown in your Serenitea Pot or purchased from Bubu Pharmacy. They cost 600 Mora and the pharmacist stocks ten of them every three days.

Defeating Childe at his weekly boss fight is a necessary step in leveling up Ganyu's talents, as you need the Shadow of the Warrior item that he can drop. This only drops at level 70 or higher.
Ganyu's talent books, Teachings of Diligence, Guide to Diligence, and Philosophies of Diligence, can be found at the Taishan Mansion on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
To max out a talent, you'll need a Crown of Insight, meaning you need three to completely level up all three talents. These can be found as rewards during major events or by making offerings to the sacred trees of Dragonspine and Inazuma, the Frostbearing Tree and Sacred Sakura, respectively.
