Genshin Impact leak reveals Kujou Sara's ascension materials

Kujou Sara is an upcoming playable character in Genshin Impact, and leaks have revealed all the necessary items to build her.

Leaks indicate that Kujou Sara will be released in Baal’s banner, which is likely to take place at the start of version 2.1. The next update will arrive on September 1st, meaning players have just a few weeks to prepare for her arrival.

There are several items players can farm to prepare for the new Electro-bow character, and it's recommended that they start farming as soon as possible.

Where to farm materials for Kujou Sara in Genshin Impact

Although Genshin Impact players can’t yet obtain Storm Beads, Sara’s other ascension materials are all up for grabs.

To get Damaged, Stained, and Ominous Masks, players need to simply defeat Hilichurls. These enemies roam every major region in Teyvat, so players should have no issues finding them.

Dendrobium, on the other hand, is a much more localized item. These plants grow in the open world, but only in select regions of Inazuma. Genshin Impact players should search the Kannazuka and Yashiori Island regions to find Dendrobium. To help find its exact location, players can refer to the interactive map below.

After collecting a Dendrobium, the plant will take two real-world days to respawn. Since only about 50 unique Dendrobiums spawn in Genshin Impact, players will need to farm them multiple times to have enough for Sara’s max ascension.

Players who want to collect Vajrada Amethyst can challenge the Electro Hypostasis or some weekly bosses. However, Kujou Sara players will still need to challenge the Thunder Manifestation in 2.1 for Storm Beads. This boss will also provide Vajrada Amethyst.
