With every update,Genshin Impactcaptivates players with new and exciting playable characters. In Version 4.1, the spotlight shines on Charlotte, Fontaine’s plucky and unfaltering reporter, who charmed her way into the hearts of many during her first appearance in an Inazuma event, and again in the first act of Fontaine’s Archon Quest.
Now with a flourish of cryo and a flash of her Kamera, Monsieur Verite, Charlotte steps into the fray. She’s set to become a staple in many teams, shifting from chronicling epic tales to starring at the very heart of them, as a versatile four-star damage dealer and healer for your roster.
Charlotte’s Ascension Materials
To fully harness Charlotte’s potential and ascend her to the highest level, you’ll need to gather a specific set of materials. Ascending Charlotte follows the familiar pattern of requiring someregion-specific materials, common mob drops, World Boss Drops, Ascension Gems,and of course,a sizeable amount of Mora.
All ofCharlotte’s materials can be found exclusively within Fontaine,which is a departure from many other Fontaine characters, who still require select drops only obtainable from mobs or bosses outside the region.
You’ll be able to acquire the Tourbillon Device bydefeating The Prototype Cal. Breguet,which can be encountered in theAcademic Assembly Hallin the Fontaine Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering Region.
The regional specialty,Beryl Conches, can befound while divingbeneath the waters of Fontaine, with most of themconcentrated near the areas of Chemin de L’Espoir, Elton Trench and Salacia Plains.To get a head start, you canvisit Hinterman, an NPC near Poisson,who will sellfive Conches for 1,000 Mora.
As for her normal mob drops, you’ll be able toobtain them by defeatingvarious types of Clockwork Meka found all over Fontaine.
Finally, the quantity and quality of the materials you’ll need to ascend Charlotte with willincrease as you reach higher ascension phases.To fully ascend her, you will need all the following materials:

Beryl Conch x 3

It can be difficult to manually keep track of everything you’ll need during the farming process. It may help torefer back to this guide or use a progress trackerto keep tabs on the quantities of everything you still require.
What Is The Total Cost Of Leveling Up Charlotte
To fully enhance Charlotte’s capabilities and take her to Level 90,ascension is only part of the journey.You’ll also need toaccount for other costs too, such as EXP books and even more Mora.
This is becauseascension materials only raise the ceiling, while experience books and Mora push you towards it.As such, it’s important to factor in these additional costs from the beginning to ensure a smooth leveling process.
The EXP and Mora cost for leveling Charlotte upis as follows:
Experience Book Cost And Approx Waste
1 - 10
5,000
10 - 20
18,800
20 - 30
42,400
30 - 40
73,000
40 - 50
115,800
50 - 60
170,800
60 - 70
239,000
70 - 80
322,200
80 - 90
684,600
Thus, the total cost for leveling Charlottefrom one to 90is404 Hero’s Wit, 35 Adventurer’s Experience, and 12 Wanderer’s Advice.
This is themost efficient combination of EXP booksand will help youminimize wasted experience.However, this is simply a guideline so feel free to use your resources as needed.
For your own calculation purposes, here is the experience granted by each EXP book:
This entire leveling processwill also cost roughly 1,671,600 Mora.Moreover, the act of ascension itself also costs Mora, and a substantial amount at that. Factoring that in, the total cost to get Charlotte from level one to 90 isaround 2,091,600 Mora.
Though the leveling process follows a set formula every time,there can always be a slight variance when it comes to Mora costs.It’s wise toreserve an additional 50,000 Morato accommodate any potential discrepancies.
Charlotte’s Talent Materials
Leveling a character’s talents is a crucial step in optimizing their capabilities in Genshin Impact, andmuch like ascension and leveling, it requires you to gather a variety of materials.These materials, whichinclude talent books and special boss drops, can be very time-consuming to acquire. As such, it is very important to know what to prioritize first.
Charlotte can be played in either the role of a sub-DPS, or a healer. Ideally, you’ll want tolevel up both her Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst,but depending on the role, you can first prioritize either herSkill (for the additional damage)or herBurst (for the additional healing).
You cansave time and resourceswhile farmingby ignoring her Normal Attack talent,which is completely unnecessary for all her optimal roles.
To level up Charlotte’s Talents, you will need togather all the following materials:
12,500
Teachings of Justice x 3
Meshing Gear x 6
17,500
Guide to Justice x 2
25,000
Guide to Justice x 4
30,000
Guide to Justice x 6
37,500
Guide to Justice x 9
7
Philosophies of Justice x 4
8
260,000
Philosophies of Justice x 6
9
450,000
Philosophies of Justice x 12
10
700,000
Philosophies of Justice x 16
Artificed Dynamic Gear x 12
Lightless Silk String x 2
Charlotte usesJustice Talent Books to level up, which can be farmed in thePale Forgotten Glory Domain of Mastery in Fontaine. You will find them on Tuesdays and Fridays, and they are also available on Sundayswhen all materials for every domainare available at once.
The last talent level alsorequires a special material called Crown of Insight,which can be obtained through limited-time events, or as a level reward from special places like the Frostbearing Tree, the Sacred Sakura, or the Tree of Dreams.
The costs on this list are per talent, soyou will have to account for each talent separately.So if you want to triple crown Charlotte, you would needthree times the amount of each material on the list.
Where To Get Lightless Silk String
To get Lightless Silk String, you will need todefeat the All-Devouring Narwhal,a weekly boss unlockable aftercompleting Archon Quest Chapter IV: Act V – Masquerade Of The Guilty.
Once unlocked, you’ll be able to find the Domain of the All-Devouring Narwhalunderwater in the Salacia Plains.This is one of theareas where you would have found Beryl Conchesfor Charlotte.
Lightless Silk String is one of three potential dropsyou can claim for 30 Original Resin after successfully defeating the All-Devouring Narwhal. Theonly other way to obtain this materialis through the Alchemy Crafting Bench, where you cantransmute other random drops from the same Domain,provided you have theDream Solventto afford it.
