Strategic Preparation for Jahoda — Key Considerations
The primary obstacles in advancing Jahoda's capabilities are the unique regional resource, "Portable Bearing" (found on Lempo Isle), and the “Lightbearing Scale-Feather” (dropped by the Radiant Moonfly). These components are exclusive to Nod-Krai and present significant time constraints for players who prefer not to spend money, due to their limited daily spawn rates and weekly boss encounter restrictions.
Recommendation for free-to-play (F2P) and budget-conscious players: It is advisable to commence gathering Portable Bearings and Drive Shafts prior to attempting to acquire Jahoda. Achieving maximum character level on day one will necessitate nearly a full reset cycle’s worth of these items.

Optimized Resource Gathering Route: Step-by-Step Guide
- Commence exploration in Lempo Isle immediately upon unlocking the Nod-Krai region; clear all Portable Bearing collection points. Schedule a reminder for their 48-hour respawn.
- Engage Landcruisers to obtain Drive Shaft components. Prioritize encounters with Level 60+ variants for Precision drops. Monitor acquisition rates and consider using artifact or Troupe boosts if accessible.
- Confront the new World Boss: The Radiant Moonfly (a weekly challenge, available after completing the main questline) for Lightbearing Scale-Feathers. Weekly boss attempts reset on Mondays (04:00 server time; UTC+8 for CN/Asia; UTC-5 for NA).
- Cultivate Talent Books (Vagrancy Series): These are exclusively available on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Plan your resin usage accordingly, especially if aiming to triple-crown talents for C6 builds or content showcases.
- Acquire Boss Gems: Focus on Anemo-aligned bosses that offer the most efficient resin-to-gem conversion. Utilize the Parametric Transformer as a supplementary option if drops are unfavorable.
- Stay Informed: Keep an eye on official Hoyoverse announcements for potential event-based material giveaways, although none are currently indicated for Jahoda’s materials at the 6.2 launch.
Team Dynamics & Character Synergies
- Jahoda’s kit does not inherently complement Nefer, despite any narrative connections; the Anemo/Dendro reaction (Swirl with Quicken) provides minimal tactical advantage. Instead, consider:
- Jahoda with Pyro/Hydro/Cryo units: Exploit Swirl reactions for crowd control across multiple targets and the Elemental RES reduction from Viridescent Venerer artifacts.
- F2P Foundational Composition: Jahoda / Xiangling / Xingqiu / Sucrose (a dual Anemo setup for enhanced energy regeneration and consistent Swirl application)
- Premium Lineup: Jahoda / Furina / Yelan / Bennett (a dynamic combination leveraging Anemo, Hydro, and Pyro for powerful elemental bursts)
Note: Official sources have not yet provided best-in-slot artifact recommendations for Jahoda as of 6.2; community analytics are still pending.
Problem Solving & Efficiency Strategies
- Portable Bearing limitations: There’s a cap on how many you can collect daily or weekly; this resource is not available for purchase through Mondstadt Reputation at the initial launch.
- Boss access hurdle: The Radiant Moonfly encounter might necessitate prior completion of specific quests. Verify prerequisites before committing resin.
- Talent advancement: The Vagrancy book domain is only open on specific days. Avoid attempting it on off-days. Strategize your resin expenditure or consider low-spend resin bundles if managing multiple Ascension-heavy characters simultaneously.
- Mora scarcity: Fully leveling Jahoda to 90/90 and achieving 10/10/10 for three talents will demand over 6 million Mora. Prioritize leveling your main combat talent, then secondary talents like Burst or Skill as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can Portable Bearings be crafted or obtained via expeditions?
- Official materials do not specify these methods; currently, only field pickups are confirmed.
- Are Lightbearing Scale-Feathers available from other bosses or events?
- No; they are exclusive drops from the Radiant Moonfly (weekly, Nod-Krai).
- Are there any time-limited boosts or rate-ups for these materials through events?
- None have been announced as of the 6.2 patch notes (verified by Hoyoverse on 2025-12-03).
Future Steps & Outlook
Once Jahoda is fully optimized, you can allocate any remaining Nod-Krai resources toward preparing Nefer (some talent books and materials may overlap) or save Portable Bearings for potential character reruns. For optimizing Anemo/double Anemo team compositions as new Spiral Abyss rotations emerge, consult the Durin Team Comps in Genshin Impact 6.2 @ GenshinBuilds. Stay tuned for forthcoming recommendations on artifact sets and advanced combat rotations as player data provides deeper insights into optimal gameplay.
Crucial takeaway: Jahoda stands as the most resource-intensive Anemo bow character upon release, primarily due to reliance on entirely new local specialties and weekly boss lockouts. Initiate your gathering efforts well in advance of the banner launch, prioritize daily farming, and circumvent last-minute material shortages.
