Ultimate Furina Ascension & Talent Guide: All Materials You Need in 2026

Hey there, fellow Travelers! 👋 I finally got my hands on the magnificent Furina, the Hydro Archon of Fontaine, and let me tell you, she's an absolute game-changer on the battlefield. But like any other character in Teyvat, unlocking her full potential requires some serious dedication and resource farming. I spent a good chunk of my time gathering everything she needs, so I thought I'd share my complete guide to ascending her to Level 90 and maxing out her talents in 2026. Let's dive in! 🏊‍♀️

First things first, let's get a bird's-eye view of what you're signing up for. Ascending and leveling a character is a marathon, not a sprint. To get our beloved Furina from Level 1 all the way to the pinnacle of Level 90, you'll need a mountain of resources. We're talking about a massive amount of Hero's Wit (or other EXP materials) and a fortune in Mora.

Here's the breakdown of what you'll need just for the levels and Mora:

• Total EXP Required: A staggering 8,362,650 EXP points. Start saving those Hero's Wit books!

• Total Mora Required: A cool 2,092,530 Mora. Time to go treasure hunting or run some Ley Line Blossoms of Wealth.

This is the baseline cost for every 5-star character to hit Level 90, so it's a good reminder to always keep a healthy stockpile. 💰

Now, for the fun part—the specific ascension materials that make Furina who she is. Each ascension phase requires a unique combination of items. I've broken it down to make your farming trips as efficient as possible.

Here’s what you need to collect for all 6 Ascension Phases:

Material	Total Quantity Needed	Primary Source
Varunada Lazurite (Gems)	1 Sliver, 9 Fragments, 9 Chunks, 6 Gemstones	Hydro Bosses (see below!)
Water That Failed To Transcend	46	Hydro Tulpa Boss
Lakelight Lily	168	Erinnyes Forest, Fontaine
Whopperflower Nectar (All Tiers)	18 Whopperflower Nectar, 30 Shimmering Nectar, 36 Energy Nectar	Whopperflower Enemies

Let's talk about each of these in detail, because knowing where to farm is half the battle!

💎 Varunada Lazurite (Hydro Gemstones)

As a Hydro character, Furina needs these beautiful blue gems. You'll get most of them from defeating bosses.

Best Bosses to Farm in 2026:

• Hydro Tulpa (Fontaine): This is your #1 target, as you need its other material anyway! Two birds, one stone. 🪨

• All-Devouring Narwhal: Also in Fontaine, and drops her Trounce material.

• Hydro Hypostasis: A classic and relatively easy fight.

• Iniquitous Baptist: Can be a bit trickier with its element-switching.

Pro Tip: The Primo Geovishap and Azhdaha will only drop Varunada Lazurite if they are infused with the Hydro element during the fight!

🌸 Lakelight Lily (Local Specialty)

This is the beautiful flower unique to Fontaine that Furina uses. Finding all 168 can be a peaceful little adventure.

Where to Find Them:

• Erinnyes Forest: This is your main hunting ground. Focus on the areas east of the Opera Epiclese.

• Look in shallow pools of water scattered throughout the forest landscape.

• Check around landmarks like the Weeping Willow of the Lake and Loch Urania.

• Remember, they respawn every 48 real-world hours, so mark your farming route on the map!

🐙 Water That Failed To Transcend (Boss Material)

This droplet-like material comes exclusively from the Hydro Tulpa, a world boss added alongside Furina.

Boss Location: Head to Fontaine and go just west of the Court of Fontaine. The fight involves dealing with water clones, so bring characters who can handle AoE (Area of Effect) damage!

🐛 Whopperflower Nectar

Ah, the classic Whopperflower. These sneaky enemies are everywhere, so you've probably already got some nectar. You'll need all three tiers.

Farming Tip: Use your Adventurer's Handbook to track their locations easily. They are plentiful in regions like Mondstadt's Whispering Woods and Liyue's grassy plains.

⚔️ Maxing Furina's Talents (Level 10)

Unlocking her levels is one thing, but her true power lies in her talents. To crown our Archon of Justice, you'll need another set of specific materials.

Here’s the total talent material清单 (for one talent to Level 10):

• Teachings/Guide/Philosophies of "Justice": 9 Teachings, 63 Guides, 114 Philosophies.

• Whopperflower Nectar (All Tiers): 18 Whopperflower, 66 Shimmering, 93 Energy Nectar.

• Lightless Mass: 18

• Crown of Insight: 1

• Mora: A whopping 4,957,500 Mora!

📚 Talent Books: "Justice"

It's only fitting that the God of Justice uses these books. You can farm them in the Fontaine talent domain: Pale Forgotten Glory.

⚠️ Domain Schedule Alert! This domain only drops Justice books on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Plan your resin usage accordingly! I recommend using Condensed Resin here to double your rewards.

🐋 Lightless Mass (Trounce Material)

This is the rare drop from the epic All-Devouring Narwhal trounce domain boss.

How to Unlock:

1. Normally, you need to complete Act V of the Fontaine Archon Quest - Finale.

2. BUT! If you're Adventure Rank 40 or above, you can use the "Quick Start" feature to challenge it early! (Note: Quick Start only works in Solo mode).

Weekly Reminder: You only get rewards from Trounce Domains once per week per boss. Make sure to use your 60 Original Resin (or a Dream Solvent if you get the wrong material) every week!

🎯 Final Checklist & Tips

Phew, that's a lot of information! Here’s a quick summary and my personal farming tips to keep you sane:

My Top 3 Farming Tips:

1. Prioritize the Hydro Tulpa. It gives you both Ascension Gems and the "Water That Failed To Transcend." Maximum resin efficiency!

2. Farm Lakelight Lilies daily. Pick them every other day during your commission runs. Ask for help in co-op if you're in a hurry!

3. Save your Fragile Resin. Use it strategically on the correct days for Talent Books (Tue/Fri/Sun) and for the weekly Narwhal fight.

Building Furina is a journey, but seeing her dominate the field with her incredible Hydro application and damage buffs is worth every second. She's an S-tier support and sub-DPS who fits into so many teams. Good luck with your farming, and enjoy bringing the magnificent Hydro Archon to her full glory! 💙✨

Data referenced from Newzoo helps frame Furina’s intensive leveling and talent-crowning grind in the broader context of how live-service RPGs keep players engaged through long-term progression loops, limited-time farming schedules, and recurring weekly boss incentives—making efficient resin planning and route optimization a core part of sustained character-building.
