  "textContent": "Nicole is a 5-star Pyro Catalyst user and Hexenzirkel mage expected to join the Genshin Impact roster during Version 6.6 (Luna VII). Leaked details about her full ascension and talent material requirements have given players a head start on farming, and most of the items she needs are already obtainable in Nod-Krai right now.\n\n**Quick answer:** Nicole needs Agnidus Agate gems, 168 Pine Amber, 46 Remnant of the Dreadwing, Warrant-series enemy drops, Elysium-series talent books, 3 Crowns of Insight, and 18 of a currently unknown weekly boss material. You can pre-farm everything except the weekly boss drop and the Crowns.\n\nImage credit: __Cognosphere Pte. Ltd. (via Genshin Impact wiki)__\n\n* * *\n\n## Nicole Character Ascension Materials (Level 1–90)\n\nRaising Nicole from level 1 to 90 follows the standard 5-star character cost structure. The specific items she consumes are tied to her Pyro element, the Nod-Krai region, and a normal-world boss located in Ashveil Peak.\n\nMaterial| Total Needed\n---|---\nMora| 420,000\nAgnidus Agate Sliver| 1\nAgnidus Agate Fragment| 9\nAgnidus Agate Chunk| 9\nAgnidus Agate Gemstone| 1\nPine Amber| 168\nRemnant of the Dreadwing| 46\nTattered Warrant| 18\nImmaculate Warrant| 30\nFrost-Etched Warrant| 36\n\n* * *\n\n## Nicole Talent Level-Up Materials (All Three Talents to Level 10)\n\nMaxing out all three of Nicole's combat talents is where the real resource drain happens. The Mora cost alone is nearly five million, and you'll need a substantial pile of Elysium-series books from the Nod-Krai talent domain. One material — the weekly boss drop — has not yet been identified, so you won't be able to fully crown her talents on day one, regardless of how much you pre-farm.\n\nMaterial| Per Talent (Lv 10)| All 3 Talents (Lv 10)\n---|---|---\nMora| 1,625,500| 4,957,500\nCrown of Insight| 1| 3\nUnknown Weekly Boss Material| 6| 18\nTeachings of Elysium| 3| 9\nGuide to Elysium| 21| 63\nPhilosophies of Elysium| 38| 114\nTattered Warrant| 6| 18\nImmaculate Warrant| 22| 66\nFrost-Etched Warrant| 31| 93\n\nCombined with ascension costs, the grand totals for the Warrant series across both ascension and all three talents come to 36 Tattered Warrants, 96 Immaculate Warrants, and 129 Frost-Etched Warrants.\n\n⚠️\n\nAll of these numbers are drawn from pre-release leaks and could change before Nicole officially launches. Plan your resin spending accordingly.\n\nImage credit: __Cognosphere Pte. Ltd.

You need 168 of them, which typically takes several harvest cycles since overworld specialties respawn every 48 hours. Turning on the in-game material tracking feature will mark their locations on your map and speed up collection runs significantly.\n\n* * *\n\n## Where to Farm Warrant-Series Enemy Drops\n\nTattered Warrant, Immaculate Warrant, and Frost-Etched Warrant drop from Fatui Oprichnik enemies scattered throughout Nod-Krai. These are common overworld mobs, so you can track them through the Adventurer's Handbook for efficient routing. Higher-world-level enemies drop the rarer tiers more frequently, but you can also craft up from lower-tier Warrants at an alchemy bench if needed.\n\nTattered Warrant, Immaculate Warrant, and Frost-Etched Warrant drop from Fatui Oprichnik enemies scattered throughout Nod-Krai | Image credit: __Cognosphere Pte. Ltd. (via YouTube/@CodeSwarmx)__\n\n* * *\n\n## Where to Farm Remnant of the Dreadwing\n\nThe 46 Remnant of the Dreadwing drops you need come from the Lord of the Hidden Depths: Whisperer of Nightmares, a normal-world boss located in Ashveil Peak within Nod-Krai. Each kill costs 40 Original Resin, and you'll typically get two to three drops per run, so budget roughly 15–23 boss kills to hit the 46 mark. Starting early is worthwhile since this is a time-gated grind.\n\n* * *\n\n## Where to Farm Elysium Talent Books\n\nTeachings of Elysium, Guide to Elysium, and Philosophies of Elysium are available from the Nod-Krai talent domain on **Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday**. The total requirement for triple-crowning is steep — 9 Teachings, 63 Guides, and 114 Philosophies — so spreading your domain runs across multiple weeks is the most resin-efficient approach. Sunday runs let you choose which book series drops, making it a flexible catch-up day.\n\nTeachings of Elysium, Guide to Elysium, and Philosophies of Elysium are available from the Nod-Krai talent domain on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday | Image credit: __Cognosphere Pte. Ltd. (via YouTube/@Great magician Mr. Lyney!)__\n\n* * *\n\n## Where to Farm Agnidus Agate Gems\n\nAs a Pyro character, Nicole uses the Agnidus Agate gem series. These can be obtained from a wide range of Pyro-affiliated bosses and certain weekly trounce domains. Some of the most accessible options include the Pyro Regisvine, Pyro Hypostasis, and the Emperor of Fire and Iron. You can also convert other elemental gems into Agnidus Agate at the crafting bench using Dust of Azoth, which is a practical shortcut if you've been stockpiling gems from other elements.\n\n* * *\n\n## Nicole's Leaked Kit at a Glance\n\nUnderstanding what Nicole does helps you decide which talents to prioritize — and potentially save millions of Mora by not crowning everything. Nicole appears to be an off-field support character built around ATK buffing and team shielding. Her Elemental Skill grants all party members a \"Selfless Boon\" ATK buff and creates a Blazing Radiance Shield that scales off her own ATK with 250% Pyro DMG absorption. Under certain conditions — particularly when Hexerei characters are on the field — this buff upgrades to \"Sacred Benediction,\" which provides an even larger ATK increase.\n\nHer Elemental Burst puts Nicole into a \"Silent Contemplation Prayer\" state, summoning Mystic Projections that deal coordinated AoE damage matching the active character's element whenever they attack. These coordinated hits scale off the active character's ATK and count as their personal damage, triggering up to five times per burst window at three-second intervals.\n\nNicole also has a notable passive called \"Witch's Eve Rite: Light from Darkness\" that boosts her burst's coordinated attacks by 150% (based on her own ATK) when at least two Hexerei characters are in the party. This makes her a natural fit for Hexenzirkel-themed team compositions. Her exploration passive is a fun quality-of-life bonus: using a Charged Attack outside of combat summons a Seelie that guides you to the nearest treasure chest.\n\n💡\n\nIf you're short on resources, prioritize Nicole's Elemental Skill talent first. The ATK buff and shield it provides are the core of her support kit and will deliver the most value per talent level invested.\n\nImage credit: __Cognosphere Pte. Ltd. (via YouTube/@Raiden Shotgun)__\n\n* * *\n\nNicole's material requirements are fairly straightforward for a Nod-Krai character, and the only real bottleneck is the unidentified weekly boss material needed for talent levels 7–10. Everything else — Pine Amber, Warrants, Remnant of the Dreadwing, Elysium books, and Agnidus Agate gems — is farmable right now. Getting a head start on these grinds means you'll be able to slot Nicole into your team and start experimenting with Hexenzirkel compositions the moment Version 6.6 goes live.",
