Layla is one of the newer characters in Genshin Impact, and thus not everyone might have had time to farm her ascension materials. She debuted in Version 3.2 and is not on pick-up in the current 3.3 banner. However, for those who got her before or accidentally got her now, here are the items that you will need in order to ascend this 4-star Cryo character.
The majority of characters in Genshin Impact use Talent Books and ascension materials from their own region, and Layla is no different. As a character from Sumeru, you won’t need to spend too much time running around for her. Here are the items you will need for each ascension:
Ascension 1:
- 1 Shivada Jade Sliver
- 3 Nilotpala Lotuses
- 3 Divining Scrolls
- 20,000 Mora
Ascension 2:
- 3 Shivada Jade Fragments
- 10 Nilotpala Lotuses
- 15 Divining Scrolls
- 2 Perpetual Calibers
- 40,000 Mora
Ascension 3:
- 6 Shivada Jade Fragments
- 20 Nilotpala Lotuses
- 12 Sealed Scrolls
- 4 Perpetual Calibers
- 60,000 Mora
Ascension 4:
- 3 Shivada Jade Chunks
- 30 Nilotpala Lotuses
- 18 Sealed Scrolls
- 8 Perpetual Calibers
- 80,000 Mora
Ascension 5:
- 6 Shivada Jade Chunks
- 45 Nilotpala Lotuses
- 12 Forbidden Curse Scrolls
- 12 Perpetual Calibers
- 100,000 Mora
Ascension 6:
- 6 Shivada Jade Gemstones
- 60 Nilotpala Lotuses
- 24 Forbidden Curse Scrolls
- 20 Perpetual Calibers
- 120,000 Mora
In total, you will need 420,000 Mora, 46 Perpetual Calibers, and 168 Nilotpala Lotuses. This is on top of the various gems and Scroll enemy drops. You can get Scrolls from Hilichurl Samachurls, which are literally everywhere in Teyvat. As for the Perpetual Calibers, you can get them from the Aeonblight Drake World Boss in Sumeru. You can get Nilotpala Lotuses in places like Lokapala Jungle, Devantaka Mountain, and Pardis Dhyai. Those who pulled for Tighnari earlier in Genshin Impact might already know where to get this ascension material for Layla. Even if you forgot, the Forest Watcher’s passive Talent will help you (somewhat) to search for the Lotuses.
For her Talents, she takes Ingenuity books, which you can find from the Steeple of Ignorance on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Her Weekly Boss Drop is the Mirror of Mushin, which you can get from Shouki no Kami. The total amount of resources you will need to fully ascend a single talent for Layla is:
- 1,652,500 Mora
- 6 Divining Scrolls
- 22 Sealed Scrolls
- 31 Forbidden Curse Scrolls
- 3 Teachings of Ingenuity
- 21 Guides to Ingenuity
- 38 Philosophies of Ingenuity
- 6 Mirrors of Mushin
- 1 Crown of Insight
Because Layla’s shield relies on her HP, it might be good to level her up in order to take advantage of that. You can also use her as just a Cryo applier and save your resources for someone else.
Genshin Impact is readily available on the PS4, PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. You can get Layla as a permanent 4-star character from the gacha.
