Ascension Materials: Full Leak Overview
To ascend Archer from Level 1 to 80, you’ll need the following resources. For seasoned players, this is a familiar grind but with the urgency of a collab-exclusive. Quantum material stockpiling is advised, as these could bottleneck early upgrades.
| Material | Quantity | Notable Source/Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Travel Encounters | 3 | Daily dispatch, Calyx (Golden) |
| Adventure Log | 3 | Daily activity, assignments |
| Traveler's Guide | 289 | Weekly schedules, events |
| Extinguished Core | 15 | Quantum mobs (e.g., Fragmentum creatures) |
| Glimmering Core | 15 | Higher-level Quantum mobs |
| Squirming Core | 15 | Bosses (Quantum weak) |
| Darkveil Moonlight | 65 | Stagnant Shadow (Quantum) or Simulated Universe reward rotation |
| Credit | 887,800 | Universal, prioritize double drops weeks |
Visuals: Full icon set, recommended for best use, with alt texts of each item name and brief use (e.g., "Extinguished Core material icon, used for Archer ascension").
Skill Materials Needed to Max out Archer
Maximizing Archer’s skills to Level 10 requires a deeper pool of rare materials, many of which are shared with other Quantum DPS, so efficiency is paramount. Event farming routes and Credit reserves are especially critical here.
| Material | Quantity | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Extinguished Core | 41 | Farmable early |
| Glimmering Core | 56 | Farmable mid-game |
| Squirming Core | 58 | Frequent drop |
| Meteoric Bullet | 18 | Event/gacha drops |
| Destined Expiration | 69 | Collab event/weekly |
| Countertemporal Shot | 123 | Likely weekly boss |
| Guardian's Lament | 12 | Challenge/late game |
| Tracks of Destiny | 8 | Limited, plan usage |
| Credit | 3,000,000 | Don’t underestimate |
Pro tip: Budget for Credits—upskill costs can easily outpace material farming. If you run low, prioritize Archer’s main damage skill and follow with the Talent/Ultimate last for early clear consistency.
What Makes Archer Unique? Early Impressions
While details on kit specifics are leak-only, all sources agree that Archer will play a significant role as a Quantum-path Hunt DPS with notable skill point generation. This utility could allow for creative team builds, even replicating Sparkle’s meta-defining flexibility. Given his free acquisition during the collab, expect every player to run Archer in early patch 3.5 Spiral Abyss-style content, making him a core investment for all F2P and budget-conscious squads.
Teams & Synergies
- Core: Archer pairs well with Quantum supports (e.g., Silver Wolf), single-target supports, and skill point-hungry allies.
- Alternatives: While overlapping somewhat with Yanqing or Seele, Archer may outperform in resource-light or pure Quantum compositions.
- Recommended for: Any roster short on Quantum/Hunt or short on premium 5-stars.
Day-1 Checklist: What to Prepare Now
- Stockpile all Core drops: Run Fragmentum and Quantum mob routes.
- Save Credits and Guides: Double Credit events are your friend.
- Monitor official HoYoverse socials: Major changes may come to leaked costs, so check patch notes 24h before launch.
- Plan team rotations: Think about benching current DPS to field Archer and synergistic units.
