If you are looking to farm Zani’s ascension and forte materials in Wuthering Waves, I’ve got you covered with this guide.
Zani is a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Resonator in Wuthering Waves, making her debut as a playable character with the version 2.3 update.
She is a Spectro element user and a Gauntlet wielder whose character kit makes her a great DPS unit to add to your team.
And if that doesn’t convince you, you have two big reasons to get her.
Don’t get me wrong.
The first reason is that she is voiced by industry veterans like the JP VA Ueda Hitomi.
The second reason is that she uses a giant shield, her attacks are impactful, her hair color can change, and the fact that she can use a chair mid-battle is just chef’s kiss.
Overall, Zani has a really impressive character design, and she is also one of the few characters from Rinascita that we met and spent most time with after arrival in the region.
So, if you plan on getting Zani, you can pre-farm her materials ahead of her official release to ensure you can max her out on day one.
Why?
Because that allows you to start using her in different team comps right after you obtain her.
With that being said, here’s the complete list of ascension and forte materials for Zani in Wuthering Waves and how to farm them.

How to get LF, MF, HF, and FF Polygon Cores in Wuthering Waves

There are multiple ways to get the LF, MF, HF, and FF Polygon Cores in the game. These are:
- By defeating the TDs found around the Rinascita region.
- Purchasing them from the Weapon Shop.
- From Forgery Challenges
- Synthesizer (Purification)
- In-game store

In my opinion, the best option to farm the LF, MF, HF, and FF Polygon Cores is by doing the Forgery Challenges required for upgrading Zani’s skills.
Doing so, you will be able to farm both skill and ascension materials.
Apart from that, farming the TDs found around Rinsacita is also a great way to get a ton of LF, MF, HF, and FF Polygon Cores in short time.

Based on your level and RNG, you will get an LF, MF, HF, or FF Polygon Cores.

You can also Purify the lesser variants into higher ones via the Synthesis menu.
