Talent Level-Up Materials

Overview

Character Usage

Talent Level-Up Materials (also called Character Talent Materials or Character Level-Up Materials) are materials that are used along with Common Ascension Materials to level up a Character's talents. Higher rarity materials can also be crafted with Alchemy by combining lower rarity materials of the same type. For example:

•  Teachings of Freedom ×3 can be combined to create  Guide to Freedom ×1.
•  Guide to Freedom ×3 can be combined to create  Philosophies of Freedom ×1.

Due to Talent Level-Up Materials' appearance all resembling books, they are commonly referred to as "talent books".

Check each character's page to see which materials are required for their talents or check each materials page to see which characters use that material for leveling talents.

A character must be at Ascension Phase 2 (which requires Adventure Rank 25) to begin leveling up talents using talent materials.

	DL IV+ Dvalin's Claw DL IV+ Dvalin's Claw Dvalin's Claw Talent Level-Up Materials A claw from the Dragon of the East.

Childe	DL II+ Tusk of Monoceros Caeli DL II+ Tusk of Monoceros Caeli Tusk of Monoceros Caeli Talent Level-Up Materials The horn of a whale that you obtained from defeating Childe, who had unleashed the might of his Delusion. It is said that the shape of one's constellation determines one's character. The image of a whale cruising across the celestial heights represents a solipsism that seeks to crush and devour all in its path. Embracing this aspect of himself, Childe gleefully summoned one such beast before throwing himself into battle against you.	Albedo Albedo Zhongli Zhongli Xinyan Xinyan
	DL II+ Shard of a Foul Legacy DL II+ Shard of a Foul Legacy Shard of a Foul Legacy Talent Level-Up Materials The shard of a weapon that you obtained from defeating Childe, who had unleashed the might of his Delusion. It is stained with a profound color that is not of this world, no doubt due to the land of endless darkness that the young boy saw with his own two eyes. Perhaps it has nothing to do with the power of a Delusion, but as they say, the weapon reflects its user...	Hu Tao Hu Tao Tartaglia Tartaglia Diona Diona
	DL II+ Shadow of the Warrior DL II+ Shadow of the Warrior Shadow of the Warrior Talent Level-Up Materials A fragment of power that you obtained from defeating Childe, who had unleashed the might of his Delusion. It is the product of a will to fight that has been honed over countless slaughters. If humans do indeed have destinies, then his must surely have been twisted by such deeds. Why else, then, would he always be at the heart of every conflict?	Ganyu Ganyu Xiao Xiao Rosaria Rosaria
Azhdaha	DL II+ Dragon Lord's Crown DL II+ Dragon Lord's Crown Dragon Lord's Crown Talent Level-Up Materials Horns created from hardened jade crystallized over a thousand years are the natural crown of the dragon king. Infused with spirit and carved from bedrock, it was born from the mountain's heart to show the strength of the earth to the land amidst monoliths, and its long golden horns are the mark of its ancient strife with an ancient lord. For a time, this horn was shattered and lost its luster, but now it gleams cold and gold as it sits in your palm.	Eula Eula Traveler Traveler
	DL II+ Bloodjade Branch DL II+ Bloodjade Branch Bloodjade Branch Talent Level-Up Materials Nurtured by the might of the dragon king, these bone branches glitter with strange, unique colors. Hatred coursed through the natural streams and kissed the cold moonlight, and from them were these crystalline branches born and grown... Even though they were severed in battle, these branches steeped in dragon blood rustle as if eternally ill-at-ease.	Ayaka Ayaka Yanfei Yanfei
	DL II+ Gilded Scale DL II+ Gilded Scale Gilded Scale Talent Level-Up Materials Scaled armor that grows naturally over mystical stone, tough and silent, and filled with the strength of the dragon king. Across the years as countless generations returned to the mulch of the earth, gold and obsidian embedded themselves into flesh and blood forged from bedrock before spreading and turning into scales. Searing agony, wordless cries... perhaps they will all vanish when the grudges that spawned them, too, finally come to an end.	Kazuha Kazuha
