Genshin Impact 5.7 Version Guide: The Ultimate Training Manual for the White-Clothed Female Swordsman Silcock – A Journey from Zero to Ace
Fellow players, today I want to share with you a very serious topic, and that is the upcoming character Silcock in Genshin Impact version 5.7. As a veteran Genshin Impact player, I can very responsibly tell you that this white-clad female swordsman is absolutely worth your full investment. Don’t let her ice-queen appearance fool you; in combat, she can deliver an extremely high level of playability.
First, we need to clarify one thing: how exactly should we cultivate Silcock? As a one-handed sword character, her role should be either main DPS (MainC) or sub-DPS (SubC). However, this will depend on the specific data released by the game. For now, let’s prepare materials under the most ideal circumstances.
Speaking of materials, we need to take this very seriously. Cultivating Silcock to level 90 is no small feat, and you need to mentally prepare yourselves. Specifically, you will need the following materials:
1 Lamentative Ice Shard
9 Lamentative Ice Fragments
9 Lamentative Ice Chunks
6 Lamentative Ice
Next, let’s talk about skill upgrades. Upgrading her Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst to level 10 requires:
9 Teachings of Diligence
63 Guides to Diligence
114 Philosophies of Diligence
36 Damaged Mask
96 Sturdy Masks
129 Mask of the Tiger’s Bite
46 Deepening Coils
18 Knight’s Sighs
168 Stormcrest
3 Fragments of Wisdom
3 EXP Books
418 Hero’s Wit
7,050,100 Mora
Now, let’s move on to weapons. Silcock’s exclusive weapon, Azure Emperor, also requires a substantial amount of materials to upgrade:
5 Smoldering Pearls
14 Sizzling Pearls
14 Cooling Pearls
6 Flawless Pearls
23 Petrified Trees
27 Petrified Woods
41 Petrified Cores
15 Firm Arrows
23 Sharp Arrows
27 Weathered Arrows
Seeing all this, some of you might have started worrying. Where do these materials even come from? Don’t worry, I’ll explain how to obtain them next.
First, Deepening Coils. These can only be dropped by defeating Level 30 or above Deep Corrosion. If you’re lucky, you might get one on your first try; if not, you might need to farm multiple times. It’s best to mentally prepare yourselves, as farming materials is an inevitable part of playing Genshin Impact.
Next, Stormcrest. This is a specialty of the Natlan region and can be found in specific locations on the map. You can mark the farming spots on the in-game map for easier collection.
Then there’s the Diligence series – Teachings, Guides, and Philosophies of Diligence. All three can be obtained by farming the “Hidden Chambers of the Sands” domain. While farming domains can be tedious, it’s worth enduring for your beloved character.
Lastly, Knight’s Sighs. These drop from weekly Boss battles. The name sounds impressive, but obtaining them is quite troublesome.
At this point, some of you might be considering giving up. But I want to tell you that all the effort is worth it. Once you finally max out Silcock, you’ll understand why she’s worth all the hard work.
