Gorou is a four-star Geo bow user whose kit is built to support his fellow Geo Vision holders. Farming for character materials in-game can be a time-consuming process, so gathering items for leveling up, Ascending, and strengthening your future Gorou in advance means that you can start playing him as soon as he arrives from your Wishes.

Level-Up Materials

Hero's Wits are some of the hardest materials to farm in-game, so keep a stockpile ready for Gorou! You can obtain these level-up essentials by chance from quests and Chests, and you can farm them from Blossoms of Revelation at a cost of x20 Original Resin or x1 Condensed Resin (for double rewards).

The number of Hero's Wit you need to raise Gorou:

  • Level 90—approximately x420 Hero's Wit
  • Level 70—approximately x170 Hero's Wit

As Gorou is a Support character, he's viable even at lower levels. So if you're budgeting your Resin across multiple characters to raise, it won't hurt your team to keep Gorou at level 70 until you have excess materials to spare.

Mora

It costs approximately 7.1 million Mora to raise Gorou to the fullest, which includes crowning his three Talents. However, most players can expect to spend approximately 3.5 million Mora to get Gorou up to level 80 with talents at level 8.

Some viable ways to farm for Mora include:

  • Blossoms of Wealth (costs x20 Original Resin or x1 Condensed Resin for double rewards)
  • Purchase from Event Shops
  • Purchase from the Stardust Exchange at Paimon's Bargains
  • Obtain from quests and Chests
  • Destroying Artifacts

Ascension Materials

To Ascend Gorou, you need to feed him the following items:

MaterialWhere to Obtain
Perpetual HeartPerpetual Mechanical Array
Prithiva Topaz Sliver, Fragment, Chunk, GemstonePerpetual Mechanical Array
Golden Wolflord
Geo Hypostasis
Primo Geovishap
Conversion through Alchemy
Sango PearlAround Watatsumi Island

All Normal Bosses that drop Perpetual Hearts and Prithiva Topaz stones cost x40 Original Resin per round, so don't craft Condensed Resins when you need to farm these materials.

Talent Materials

The higher your Talent levels, the better Gorou's Skills will perform. The golden rule is to get Talents up to at least level 8, which unlocks at Ascension Phase 4, for characters that you actively deploy.

MaterialWhere to Farm
Teachings of Light
Guide to Light
Philosophies of Light
Violet Court (Open on Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday)
Conversion through Alchemy (does not apply to Teachings of Light)
Molten MomentNarukami Island: Tenshukaku (La Signora)—once a week
Spectral Heart, Husk, NucleusSpecters around Watatsumi Island and Seirai Island
Crown of Insight (for Talent level 10 only) Event Shops
Frostbearing Tree level 11
Sacred Sakura's Favor levels 5, 15, 25, 35

For Gorou's Talents, forego leveling up his Normal Attack past level 6 as he most likely won't be deployed to deal Damage often. Instead, focus on his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst at the same priority.

Artifacts

Gorou's best-in-slot Artifact Set is the Husk of Opulent Dreams, which can be farmed from the Slumbering Court in Seirai Island. Aim for Defense percent stats as opposed to Attack, as Gorou's output scales off of Defense.
