HoYoverse has revealed more details about 4.2, including the release date, new characters and planned banners, hints about the story content, and even the upcoming events and their rewards. The popular action RPG is a live-service title, which means it constantly receives updates. With them, players can experience new story quests and partake in limited-time events. During these periods, they can also try their luck and pull for limited 5-star characters. There are two new characters in 4.2, but even though their additions are long-awaited, they are not the only important part of the update.
Genshin Impact - Wriothesley Character Ascension (& Materials)
16.10.2023 - 09:13 / screenrant.com / Genshin Impact
Farming the correct materials for Wriothesley’s character Ascension in may be a time-consuming feat, but one that may prove useful in the long run, as the hero shapes up to be a unique DPS. Wriothesley was announced as a character for 4.1, along with Neuvillette. Contrary to the Chief Justice of Fontaine, however, he had not yet been introduced as an NPC. Nevertheless, Wriothesley has now made his debut as both an NPC and a playable character. At launch, he is unique, as Wriothesley is the first character to have a Cryo catalyst combination, essentially meaning he can use Elemental powers seamlessly with his Normal Attacks.
All other weapon categories either require the usage of a Skill, Burst, or special mechanic to see Elemental powers come to the field, whereas catalysts can easily apply the element without actually having to use those resources. This makes Wriothesley valuable as a character, as the way he deals Cryo damage in can be a boon for teams centered around the element. Superconduct and permafreeze team comps can largely benefit from Wriothesley’s constant application of Cryo and, combined with certain characters, he can consistently wreak icy havoc. Before doing that, however, you need to go through his character Ascension and level all his Talents to optimize damage output.

The first set of resources that you will need to farm for Wriothesley’s character Ascension is Shivada Jade. The Slivers, Fragments, Chunks, and Gemstones are those of a Cryo character, so if you have previously worked on a hero with that element, such as Ganyu or Ayaka Kamisato, it is likely you have some leftovers.
Nevertheless, you can farm these Shivada Jade materials from Cryo opponents, like Cryo Regisvines and the Wolf of the North weekly boss fight in . Not too many are needed, and these are hardly the most troublesome resources to farm, as they can also be bought from the store and are rewarded through events.
The second batch of materials you need to farm is Meshing Gear and its evolutions, Mechanical Spur Gear and Artificed Dynamic Gear, respectively. These materials drop almost exclusively from mechanical Clockwork Meka constructs in Fontaine. These creatures can be found both above ground and underwater in. Opponents like the Assault Specialist Mek and the Underwater Patrol Mek are common sources of these materials. While the Ascension process itself does not demand too much, you will need to farm a surplus of these, as they are also required abundantly for Wriothesley’s Talents.
This set of items is also used in Lynette’s Ascension in , so if you have already leveled her, you may have some in stock.
The third material needed
