Cartethyia—also known by her alias, Fleurdelys—is a powerful Sword-Aero Resonator in Wuthering Waves, combining swift swordplay with elemental precision. Her skill set makes her an exceptional addition to any team, especially when built properly. But to bring out her full potential, players will need to gather an extensive list of ascension and upgrade materials.

This guide covers everything you need to know to fully ascend and enhance Cartethyia—from local specialties and enemy drops to boss materials and Forte upgrades. Let’s break it all down step-by-step.

Cartethyia Ascension Materials Overview

Cartethyia requires a mix of region-specific materials, enemy and boss drops, and credits to ascend through levels. As with most high-tier Resonators, the material demand ramps up significantly with each ascension stage.

Core Ascension Materials:

• Local Specialty: Bamboo Iris

• Enemy Drops: LF / MF / HF / FF Tidal Residuum

• Standard Boss Drop: Unfading Glory

• Weekly Boss Drop: When Irises Bloom

• Credits Needed: 170,000 Shell Credits total

Here’s a level-by-level material breakdown for ascending Cartethyia:

Total Materials Needed:

• Bamboo Iris: 60

• LF Residuum: 4

• MF Residuum: 12

• HF Residuum: 12

• FF Residuum: 4

• Unfading Glory: 46

Farming Bamboo Iris in specific map regions is crucial early on. Use waypoints near bamboo forests and collect daily to stockpile for higher ascension levels.

Forte Upgrade Materials for Cartethyia

Upgrading Cartethyia’s Forte abilities takes her to the next level in both damage output and utility. You’ll need a large quantity of Metallic Drip materials, Tidal Residuum, and the weekly boss drop When Irises Bloom.

Required Forte Materials (Per Tier):

By Tier 5, the farming burden is substantial. Prioritize the metallic drip types needed for your current node levels to avoid wasted resources.

Skill Tree Material Requirements

Cartethyia’s combat versatility is unlocked fully through her Skill Tree nodes, which also require credits, various Metallic Drips, Residuum types, and When Irises Bloom.

Skill Tree Resource Summary:

• Shell Credit: 630,000 total

• Drip Materials:

  • Reactive Metallic Drip x3

  • Polarized Metallic Drip x15

  • Heterized Metallic Drip x12

• Tidal Residuum:

  • MF x3

  • HF x15

  • FF x12

• When Irises Bloom: x6

Each major skill node (Basic Attack, Resonance Skill, etc.) unlocks enhanced utility and AoE scaling, making the investment worthwhile for endgame content.

Efficient Farming Tips

• Weekly Boss Battles: Make sure to complete the “When Irises Bloom” boss each week to avoid progression bottlenecks.

• Optimize Resin Usage: Prioritize farming higher-tier Residuum types later in ascension; earlier tiers can often be synthesized.

• Plan Your Routes: Set up a daily farming path for Bamboo Iris and mark high-yield spots on your map.
