Genshin Impact Nicole Prefarm Guide: Ascension, Talent, and Signature Weapon Materials
If you already plan to pull Nicole in Genshin Impact, now is the best time to start prefarming. Based on the current prerelease material lists, Nicole needs Agnidus Agate, Remnant of the Dreadwing, Pine Amber, and the Warrant enemy-drop line for character ascension, while her talents require the Elysium book series plus a new weekly boss material that does not yet have a finalized official English name. Her signature Catalyst is currently listed in prerelease guides as Seven Edicts of Dust and Light.
This guide is written as a prefarm article, not a final post-launch build page. Nicole’s official English identity is already established through HoYoverse’s teaser, but some release details can still change before her banner goes live.
Nicole Ascension Materials to Level 90
To raise Nicole to level 90, prepare the following:
- Agnidus Agate: 1 Sliver, 9 Fragments, 9 Chunks, 6 Gemstones
- Remnant of the Dreadwing ×46
- Pine Amber ×168
- Tattered Warrant ×18
- Immaculate Warrant ×30
- Frost-Etched Warrant ×36
- Hero’s Wit ×419
The English names above match current prerelease Nicole material lists and existing in-game material pages for Pine Amber, Remnant of the Dreadwing, and Frost-Etched Warrant. Pine Amber is a Nod-Krai local specialty, while Remnant of the Dreadwing comes from the Whisperer of Nightmares world boss. The Warrant line drops from Fatui Oprichniki enemies.
Where to Farm Nicole’s Key Ascension Materials
Pine Amber
Pine Amber is the local specialty you should prioritize first. Current English guides place it in Nod-Krai, especially around Dreadshade Mire, Piramida, Voidsea Outlook, and nearby areas, with a normal 48-hour respawn timer. That makes it one of the easiest materials to fall behind on if you wait until banner day.
Remnant of the Dreadwing
Remnant of the Dreadwing is dropped by the Whisperer of Nightmares, a world boss in Nod-Krai. Current English guides place the boss near Ashveil Peak / Kipumaki Cliff depending on the guide’s map labeling. Regardless of the exact route description, the important part for prefarming is simple: you need 46 of this boss drop, so it is worth starting early.
Warrant Enemy Drops
Nicole also uses the Warrant enemy-drop line:
- Tattered Warrant
- Immaculate Warrant
- Frost-Etched Warrant
These are dropped by Fatui Oprichniki enemies. This material line is easy to underestimate because it is used heavily across ascension and talents.
Nicole Talent Materials and Priority
If you are building Nicole for actual gameplay value, the safest current read is to prioritize Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst before Normal Attack. Your original Chinese source frames Nicole as a support-oriented unit whose Skill helps teammates and whose Burst contributes coordinated damage, which fits the current prefarm approach.
To level Skill + Burst to 10, prepare:
- Teachings of Elysium / Guide to Elysium / Philosophies of Elysium
- Frost-Etched Warrant line
- 12x new weekly boss material
- Mora
Current English prefarm guides consistently use Teachings of Elysium, Guide to Elysium, and Philosophies of Elysium for Nicole’s talent books, and these books are listed as farmable on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday. The weekly boss material is still treated as a new or unknown drop in current English prerelease coverage, so it is safer not to hard-translate that name yet.
Nicole Talent Priority
For a practical prefarm plan, use this order:
- Elemental Skill
- Elemental Burst
- Normal Attack last
That is the most resource-efficient approach if you are not planning to triple-crown immediately.
How Much Mora Nicole Needs
Based on your source numbers, Nicole’s total resource cost is steep:
- Level 90: about 2.092 million Mora
- Skill + Burst to level 10: about 3.305 million Mora
- Combined total: about 5.398 million Mora
That means Mora is one of the real bottlenecks in Nicole’s prefarm plan. In practice, players are more likely to get blocked by Mora and EXP books than by one rare gold-tier material.
Nicole Signature Weapon: Seven Edicts of Dust and Light
Nicole’s signature Catalyst is currently listed in English prerelease guides as Seven Edicts of Dust and Light, a 5-star Catalyst with 741 Base ATK and 16.5% ATK at level 90.
To raise the weapon to level 90, prepare:
- Artful Device Wish ×6
- Artful Device Inheritance ×14
- Artful Device Replica ×14
- Artful Device Fragment ×5
- Jeweled Flaming Hilt ×41
- Fractured Flaming Hilt ×27
- Faded Flaming Hilt ×23
- Precision Drive Shaft ×27
- Reinforced Drive Shaft ×23
- Broken Drive Shaft ×15
- Weapon EXP materials
- Mora
The material names above match current English weapon pages and prerelease guides for Seven Edicts of Dust and Light.
When to Farm the Weapon Domain Material
Artful Device Wish is listed as obtainable from Lost Mooncourt on Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. That makes it easy to plan around Nicole’s talent book schedule, since her Elysium books are tied to different days.
What to Prefarm First for Nicole
If you want the most efficient order, farm Nicole’s materials in this sequence:
1. Pine Amber
This is the easiest resource to fall behind on because of the respawn timer. Start here first.
2. Remnant of the Dreadwing
You need 46 boss drops, so this will take repeated resin investment.
3. Warrant Enemy Drops
These feed both ascension and talent upgrades, so they disappear faster than many players expect.
4. Elysium Talent Books
Because the books are day-gated, it is smart to spread these runs out across multiple weeks instead of leaving them to the last minute.
5. Mora and EXP Books
This is often the real bottleneck. Even a perfect material route does not help much if your Mora is empty when Nicole releases.
6. Signature Weapon Materials
Only move these to the top of your list if you are already committed to pulling the weapon.
Is Nicole Worth Prefarming?
If you are already fairly sure you will pull Nicole, prefarming is low risk. The material names are now fairly consistent across current English guides, Nicole’s English name is already established by HoYoverse, and multiple parts of her farm route are already live in the game. The biggest thing still missing from a fully “finalized” post-launch guide is the official English name for her new weekly boss drop.
If you are still undecided, the safest compromise is to farm the materials with wider account value first:
- Pine Amber
- Remnant of the Dreadwing
- Warrant enemy drops
- Mora
- Hero’s Wit
That way you stay flexible without overcommitting too early.
