After five long years of anticipation since her debut in the Natlan trailer, Iansan has finally arrived as a playable character in Genshin Impact! πŸ”₯ The hype is absolutely unreal - everyone's scrambling to build this fierce warrior, but oh boy, the material grind is no joke. 😩 Let's dive into everything you need to ascend our fiery queen and unleash her full potential. Trust me, seeing her ultimate animation in battle makes every resin spent worth it! πŸ’«

⚑️ Electro Gem Essentials: Vajrada Amethyst

As an Electro powerhouse, Iansan needs loads of these sparkly purple gems. The drop rates from bosses can be brutal AF though! 😀 Personally, I recommend focusing on these efficient farming spots:

  • Top Tier Bosses:

  • Thunder Manifestation (so much easier since 4.8 nerf!)

  • Millennial Pearl Seahorse (drops 2-3 guaranteed)

  • Tenebrous Papilla (two birds, one stone!)

  • Weekly Trounce Domains:

| Boss | Location | Electro Drop |

|---|---|---|

| Scaramouche | Joururi Workshop | βœ… |

| Raiden Shogun | Tenshukaku | βœ… |

| Azhdaha* | Dragon-Queller | Electro infusion ONLY |

Pro tip: Save your Dream Solvent for converting other gems! Those Monday resets feel like Christmas morning when you finally get enough for ascension. 🎁

πŸŒ‹ Exclusive Natlan Specialties: Dracolite

This fiery orange ore had me SHOOK when it debuted in 5.5! πŸ”₯ Found exclusively around Tollan's Great Volcano, breaking these requires specific tactics:

  • Best Breaking Methods:

  • Use Iansan's skill (her tribal connection shatters them instantly!)

  • Electro or Hydro characters (Yae Miko + Kokomi dream team πŸ’–)

  • Tatankasaur mounts (so fun riding through lava fields!)

Seriously, farming route efficiency is key here. I mark every cluster on my map and do daily loops - the glow against Natlan's crimson skies is low-key magical ✨

πŸ‘οΈ Creepy Boss Drops: Ensnaring Gaze

That slimy underground cave near Flower-Feather Clan? Total nightmare fuel! 😱 Fighting the Tenebrous Papilla always gives me the heebie-jeebies, but the Ensnaring Gaze drop is mandatory for Iansan's ascension. Bring:

  • Pyro DPS (Hu Tao murders this thing!)

  • Shield characters (Zhongli supremacy πŸ™Œ)

  • Stamina food (those tentacle slams are vicious)

After 20+ runs, I've concluded its attack patterns are pure evil - but hearing that sweet pling when the gaze drops? Chef's kiss! πŸ’‹

πŸ₯ Warrior Whistles & Talent Books

Natlan's random warrior encounters are hilariously aggressive - they'll challenge you while you're picking flowers! πŸ˜‚ Higher level areas = better whistle drops:

  • Whistle Farming Hotspots:

  • Emberplume Highlands (lvl 90+ enemies)

  • Lavaflow Canyon (dense spawn points)

  • Obsidian Forest (nighttime spawn boost πŸŒ™)

For talent upgrades, Blazing Ruins domain is your bestie! Schedule reminder:

  • ⭐⭐⭐ Contention books: Mon/Thu/Sun

  • Bring pyro units for shield breaking

  • Co-op makes resin burns less painful!

βš–οΈ The Fontaine Grind: Denial & Judgment

ultimate-guide-to-farming-iansan-s-materials-in-genshin-impact-2025-image-5

Why does our Natlan queen need materials from Fontaine? πŸ€” Arlecchino's Scattered Ruins domain is PAIN incarnate:

  • Unlock via AR40+ Quick Challenge

  • Electro/Pyro resistance essential

  • Bring healers (The Knave's DOT is brutal!)

Honestly, hearing Iansan's battle cry while she wields these upgraded talents? Absolute eargasm! 🎧 The power spike feels illegal!

Final thoughts? This grind separates casuals from true mains. When you finally crown her talents and see those six-digit crits... no words. 🀯 But OMG the resin sink! What's been your most rage-inducing material farm for our fiery queen? Spill the tea! β˜•οΈ
