Back to All Characters

In Genshin Impact, Aino is a character that almost everyone will eventually access. She's given out for free as part of the Nod-Krai Archon Quest. Interestingly, Aino also has the distinct honor of filling in the last element-weapon combination in the game, being a Hydro claymore user — the first one!

Players looking to make use of Aino's combat and exploration skills will need quite a few items to ascend her and upgrade her talents. Most of them are found in Nod-Krai, but a few can be farmed in other parts of Teyvat.

Aino Mats at a Glance - Infographics

Aino Leveling Materials

It takes quite a lot of EXP to reach level 90, and if EXP materials are used, it'll cost a bit of Mora too.

Aino Ascension Materials

Aino uses mostly items that can be found in Nod-Krai, though her ascension gem, like any character, is found across the continent.

You may need to scroll left and right to see the whole table, especially on mobile.

Aino Talent Materials

Defeating some more Landcruisers is necessary for Aino's talents, too, as the Drive Shafts they drop are used in both talent and ascension costs.

Some readers may need to scroll left and right to see the full table.

Where to Find All of Aino's Materials

Gemstones - Where to Find Varunada Lazurite

As mentioned, Aino fills the final gap in Genshin's element-weapon combinations, being a Hydro claymore user. As such, she'll need some Varunada Lazurite in her ascension. This Hydro gem can be found in a variety of ways, but the vast majority of it is most easily obtained by defeating bosses. The bosses (and trounces) that can drop Varunada Lazurite are as follows:

• Rhodeia of Loch
• Hydro Hypostasis
• Primo Geovishap*
• Aeonblight Drake
• Iniquitous Baptist
• Hydro Tulpa
• Solitary Suanni
• Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device
• Childe (Enter the Golden House)
• Azhdaha (Beneath the Dragon Queller)*
• Dvalin (Confront Stormterror)
• Scaramouche (Joururi Workshop)
• All-Devouring Narwhal (Shadow of Another World)
• The Game Before the Gate (Unresolved Chess Game)

*Both the Primo Geovishap and Azhdaha can only drop Varunada Lazurite when they are infused with Hydro.

Local Specialty - Where to Find Portable Bearings

A local specialty of Nod-Krai, Portable Bearings fit with the mechanical theme of almost all of Aino's materials. These discarded pieces of machinery are found on Lempo Isle, mostly around Aino's own Krumkake Craftshop, but also Barrowmoss Barrens and near Blue Amber Lake.

Boss Drop - How to Get Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Die

This item, which is only obtainable from the Knuckle Duckle boss fight, is the boss item Aino uses. This boss is actual a machine created by Aino herself. It can be found south of Aino's workshop on Lempo Isle.

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Landcruisers

These Drive Shafts are only dropped by the various types of Landcruisers, which, as of now, are only found in Nod-Krai. At higher levels, they can drop better items:

Talent Books - Elysium

The Elysium talent books are one of three available from Nod-Krai's Lightless Capital domain, and the series used by Aino. Find these books in this domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Trounce Materials - Silken Feather

One of the only items Aino uses that can be found outside of Nod-Krai is her trounce material, used in her talent upgrades. Her's is the Silken Feather, dropped by The Knave inside the Scattered Ruins trounce domain. This challenge is unlocked by clearing Arlecchino's Story Quest. However, players who have reached AR 40 can challenge it in solo mode with the Quick Challenge function if they have not yet completed the Story Quest.

Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.

You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...

MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.

BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.

SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.

BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.

JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
