Materials Genshin Impact Aqua Simulacra Ascension
To bring the Aqua Simulacra to level 90, you will need to use Ascension materials to upgrade the bow. It takes a lot of Mora and farming gear, but it will help with a character’s DPS output.
Guyun, Statuettes, and Spectral materials of various rarities will need to be obtained in order to raise the Aqua Simulacra Ascension level higher. These can be found in estates, dropped by enemies, and some materials can even be purchased from the various in-game shops.
The table below details the Ascension materials you need to upgrade the Aqua Simulacra beyond its base levels:
| Weapon Ascension Level | Climbing equipment | More |
|---|---|---|
| Level 20 | x5 Guyun’s Luminous Sands, x5 Floomy Statuette, x3 Spectral Shell | 10,000 |

- Refine Level 1: HP is increased by 16% and damage dealt is increased by 20% when opponents are nearby.

Who should use the Aqua Simulacra in Genshin Impact?
As stated earlier, the Aqua Simulacra is made for Yelan, and is certainly his best weapon. Yelan’s damage increases the more health she has, and with the Aqua Simulacra increasing her health and critical damage when on or off the field, the bow ensures that Yelan is both an excellent character DPS and sub DPS.
So if you wish on the Yelan banner, you’ll ideally want to remove the Aqua Simulacra from the Epitome summon banner as well.
There are other archers in Genshin Impact that could benefit from the Aqua Simulacra if you fail to get Yelan, or if you don’t have a good bow for that character.
Child
Childe’s best weapon is the North Star, but if you don’t have it, the Aqua Simulacra is a great substitute when using Childe in a DPS role.
Yoimiya
Similar to Childe, the Aqua Simulacra is a great substitute for The Thundering Pulse bow if you don’t have one for Yoimiya yet. Don’t forget to upgrade it to take full advantage of its increased attack and crit potential.
Ganyu
While the increased health provided by the Aqua Simulacra doesn’t really help Ganyu, it will put the high critical damage to good use when the bow is used with good artifacts and smart team composition. It’s definitely not the best weapon to use with Ganyu (that would be Amos’ bow), but it’s a decent substitute if you lack a good weapon for her.
Kujou Sara
If you’re building a DPS Kujou Sara, the Aqua Simulacra is a good way to increase critical damage. Be sure to upgrade and mount the bow if you want to take full advantage of its damage potential.
Have fun using the Aqua Simulacra in Genshin Impact!
