Meet Collei, the dedicated Forest Ranger trainee ready to enhance your adventuring party with versatile Dendro capabilities.

Introduced in Genshin Impact’s 3.0 update, Collei stands as one of the initial playable Dendro characters alongside Tighnari. As a four-star bow wielder currently available through free acquisition events, she presents zero barriers to joining your active roster. Her current essential status stems directly from Sumeru’s environmental design—Dendro-activated puzzles and interactive elements permeate the landscape. However, to truly unlock her combat potential through proper leveling, you’ll need to gather specific resources systematically.

Understanding her role as an enabler for elemental reactions is crucial. Collei excels at applying consistent Dendro status, making her invaluable for Bloom, Quicken, and Burning team compositions. Her skill set allows for both on-field and off-field Dendro application, providing flexibility in various combat scenarios.

Ascending Collei requires careful planning across multiple material categories. Each ascension phase demands specific quantities of Nagadus Emerald gemstones, Rukkhashava Mushrooms, assorted arrowhead types, and the formidable Majestic Hooked Beak from world bosses.

Strategic farming begins with Rukkhashava Mushrooms, which grow predominantly on the underside of giant trees throughout Sumeru’s rainforest regions. These fungal growths require vertical exploration and are often found in clusters, making efficient route planning essential. Many players overlook the vertical component when hunting these materials.

Rukkhashava Mushrooms can be found around the edges of Sumeru.

Arrowhead collection benefits from targeting Hilichurl archers systematically. Higher-level regions yield better quality arrowheads, so prioritize areas with level 40+ enemies for optimal drop rates. The Majestic Hooked Beak comes exclusively from the Jadeplume Terrorshroom world boss in Sumeru, requiring 40 Original Resin per completion.

Maximizing Collei’s combat effectiveness demands careful talent investment. Each talent level increase requires specific Praxis talent books, arrowheads of varying quality, and rare boss materials that necessitate weekly planning.

Talent priority typically follows Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst > Normal Attack for most support builds. However, if using Collei as an on-field Dendro applicator, consider balancing investment across all three talents. The critical breakpoints occur at talent levels 6, 8, and 9, where significant damage multipliers and effect enhancements unlock.

The Tears of the Calamitous God material comes from the Guardian of Apep’s Oasis weekly boss, requiring careful resin allocation across multiple characters. Plan your weekly boss runs strategically, as these materials are time-gated and cannot be farmed repeatedly.

Efficient material collection separates novice players from seasoned adventurers. For Rukkhashava Mushrooms, establish a farming route that covers the western Sumeru rainforest, particularly around Vissudha Field and the surrounding elevated areas. These fungi respawn every 48 hours, so mark your map and develop a consistent rotation.

Common mistakes include neglecting to pre-farm weekly boss materials and underestimating Mora requirements. Many players reach ascension thresholds only to discover they lack the crucial Tears of the Calamitous God, delaying their progress by an entire week. Always prioritize weekly boss fights early in your progression planning.

Resin management proves critical for efficient ascension. Dedicate specific days to domain runs for Praxis talent books while using remaining resin for world boss materials. The optimal approach involves calculating your daily resin allocation against your target completion date.

For Hilichurl arrowhead farming, focus on areas with dense archer populations like the chasm’s surface regions. Higher world levels yield significantly better drop rates for Weathered Arrowheads, so consider increasing your world level before intensive farming sessions.

Advanced players should coordinate talent book farming with condensed resin usage during days when the Praxis domain is available. This approach maximizes time efficiency while ensuring consistent progression toward your talent level goals.

Action Checklist

  • Establish Rukkhashava Mushroom farming route in western Sumeru
  • Farm Jadeplume Terrorshroom for Majestic Hooked Beak (40 resin per run)
  • Collect arrowheads from level 40+ Hilichurl archers
  • Run Praxis talent domain on scheduled days using condensed resin
  • Complete Guardian of Apep’s Oasis weekly boss for Tears
  • Allocate 1,652,500 Mora for talent upgrades
