Genshin Impact is gearing up for update 2.1, which will bring new characters, new locations, and a new archon to the game. Players will finally get to meet the Raiden Shougun, and she will be an attainable character through wishes. In preparation for Baal's banner, players will want to farm for some of her ascension materials ahead of time.

Baal's Ascension Materials

As the archon of Electro, players will probably have guessed that Baal will need as many Vajrada Amethysts in as many forms as possible. And they would be correct; players will need a good chunk of these purple stones. Thankfully, they can be attained in the game by fighting not only the Electro Hypostasis, but also the Trounce Domain bosses like Childe and Stormterror. Based on some rumors and the needed materials for other characters, players will most likely need the following amounts of each quality of Vajrada Amethysts:

• Vajrada Amethyst Sliver - 1
• Vajrada Amethyst Fragment - 9
• Vajrada Amethyst Chunk - 9
• Vajrada Amethyst Gemstone - 6

It also looks as though Baal will require loads of Inazuma's handguard materials as well, which includes Old Handguards, Kageuchi Handguard, and Famed Handguards. These will be needed for not only ascending Baal, but also for ascending her talents. While this has not been confirmed by miHoYo, it seems likely that the handguards will play some part in her ascension.

Baal's Talent Materials

It looks as though Baal will need Light scrolls of all the different levels as well as additional handguards for her talents. These scrolls are available to farm in one of the talent ascension Domains in Genshin Impact called the Violet Court on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. These are the amounts that she will need:

• Teachings of Light - 9
• Guide to Light - 63
• Philosophies of Light - 114

Players will also need Crowns of Insight, which are the rarest items currently in the game. They can be obtained through limited-time events, upgrading the Frostbearing Tree's Gratitude to Level 11, and three can be gotten from upgrading the Sacred Sakura's Favor to Levels 5, 15, and 25.

Other Items to Farm For Baal's Banner

There are going to be additional items required to get Baal leveled up, but some of those are not yet in Genshin Impact. Therefore, it's best to focus on what players can currently get. They will need to also farm tons of Mora and leveling books like Hero's Wits. In order to get Baal to level 90 or even close to that, players will need several million Mora and loads of leveling materials.

Genshin Impact is currently available for mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5.
