The Genshin Impact 2.0 update is in full swing. This new version of the game brought a huge amount of content with the addition of a new region, Inazuma. Now players have a variety of new quests and achievements to complete, chests and collectibles to find, and, perhaps most exciting, new playable characters to wish for: Kamisato Ayaka, Yoimiya, and Sayu.
However, because these characters come from the new region, their Ascension and Talent materials are mostly new, too. If players are planning on getting all three of the new characters coming with the Genshin Impact 2.0 update, then they will probably want to start collecting materials in advance for Sayu and Yoimiya.
The materials each character needs to ascend and to upgrade their Talents are listed below in their total amounts. Each Ascension and Talent level requires a different number of each item, but if players prepare for the total amounts, they should have no problem upgrading their characters in Genshin Impact.
