Mika's ascension and talent level-up materials in Genshin Impact

1) Pseudo-Stamens

Pseudo-Stamens is a character ascension material that can be obtained by defeating Setekh Wenut in the Desert of Hadramaveth. A total of 46 stamens are required to max ascend Mika. At max World Level 8, the overworld boss usually drops two to three Pseudo-Stamens after each challenge, so players will need to defeat it 23 times.

2) Shivada Jade

Shivada Jade is an ascension material used exclusively by Cryo characters in Genshin Impact. Unfortunately, Setekh Wenut does not drop this item, so players must defeat other bosses, such as Cryo Regisvine and Cryo Hypostases, to obtain it. To max ascend Mika, the following is required:

• Shivada Jade Sliver x1
• Shivada Jade Fragment x9
• Shivada Jade Chunk x9
• Shivada Jade Gemstone x6

A higher rarity of Shivada Jade can also be obtained through crafting.

3) Wolfhook

Wolfhook is a local specialty in Mondstadt and is commonly found in Wolvendom. Only 33 spawns are available on one map, and a player will require 168 to max ascend Mika. Other methods to obtain Wolfhook are purchasing it from NPC Chloris or farming it in other players' worlds.

4) Insignia

Every Genshin Impact character needs talent books to elevate their skill levels. Like most in-game items, they also have three different rarities. The total amount required to get all three of Mika's skills to level 10 is:

• Teachings of Ballad x 9
• Guide to Ballad x 63
• Philosophies of Ballad x 114

Ballad books can only be obtained from the Forsaken Rift on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

6) Mirror of Mushin

Mirror of Mushin is a talent level-up material. Unlike the books, it can only be farmed once a week by challenging the Trounce Domain, Shouki no Kami, the Prodigal. Genshin Impact players must note that this weekly boss can only be unlocked after completing Sumeru Archon Quest Chapter III: Act V quest 'Where the Boat of Consciousness Lies'.

A total of 18 Mirror of Mushins will be needed to level up Mika's talents to 10.
