Cartethyia is one of the most resilient characters in Wuthering Waves. She is an excellent carry DPS and outputs large numbers without needing any expensive support characters. Pulling her is only the beginning; the real grind comes from maxing her stats through careful resource farming.
Farming Cartethyia's ascension materials can feel daunting, especially if you want full completion. This guide breaks down every material you need for pre-farming, so you’re prepared whether you just unlocked her or are planning for a future banner.
Cartethyia’s Ascension Materials In Wuthering Waves
Cartethyia is a Tidal attribute character, and her boss drop is the Unfading Glory, which you can farm from the Lioness of Glory world boss in Septimont’s Titanbone Expanse. Each run costs 60 waveplates, and depending on your SOL3 Phase, about 12–14 runs should get her to level 80.
The open-world material you’ll need is Bamboo Iris, found around Septimont near Titanbone Expanse and Capitoline Hill. You’ll also need Tidal Residuum Cores (LF → FF), which drop from various enemies across Rinascita.
To summarize, here’s what you’ll be farming:
- Unfading Glory (from Lioness of Glory).
- Bamboo Iris (gatherable near Titanbone Expanse).
- Tidal Residuum Cores (from enemies)
- Shell Credits.
