Genshin Impact's 4.1 update has brought a wave of excitement among players with the introduction of new character banners, in-game resources, and the highly anticipated character, Wriothesley, the Duke of the Fortress of Meropide. However, to ascend Wriothesley to the coveted level 90, players will need to obtain a new local specialty called Subdetection Units. 

This article will guide you through the locations and farming routes for Subdetection Units in the Genshin Impact 4.1 update, helping you prepare for Wriothesley's ascent to greatness.

What Are Subdetection Units in Genshin Impact?

Subdetection Units are a distinctive local specialty found in the Fontaine region of Genshin Impact's expansive world. These mechanical insects have an intriguing history, initially designed by the Fontaine Research Institute for monitoring various environmental data. With the 4.1 update, players can now find these units scattered throughout the Fontaine region, particularly in the Fontaine Research Institute area. Their appearance is marked by a mesmerizing blue glow, but approach them, and they start blinking with a distinct red light.

Where to Find Subdetection Units in Genshin Impact?

In the Fontaine region, there are a total of 64 Subdetection Units available for collection. The majority of these units can be found in the Fontaine Research Institute area, making it a prime location for farming. However, please note that some of these locations may be locked behind World Quests, which must be cleared to access them.

If you're having trouble locating these units, you can use interactive maps or in-game character passives to help you pinpoint their locations. Characters like Lyney have abilities that display the nearby specialties on the mini-map, making your search easier.

Respawn Time and Co-Op Farming

Once you've collected Subdetection Units from a specific location, you'll need to wait for them to respawn. These units regenerate every 48 hours, so plan your farming accordingly. You can relog the game or teleport to the farthest waypoint to check if they have respawned.

If you find yourself running low on Subdetection Units in your own world, consider seeking help from other players through co-op sessions. This way, you can visit their worlds and collect Subdetection Units there.

How to Use Subdetection Units

Subdetection Units serve a crucial role in character ascension, particularly for characters like Wriothesley. To fully ascend Wriothesley to level 90, you'll need a total of 168 Subdetection Units. The requirements for ascending characters are as follows:

  • Ascend from Level 20: 3 Subdetection Units (or any local speciality)

  • Ascend from Level 40: 10 Subdetection Units (or any local speciality)

  • Ascend from Level 50: 20 Subdetection Units (or any local speciality)

  • Ascend from Level 60: 30 Subdetection Units (or any local speciality)

  • Ascend from Level 70: 45 Subdetection Units (or any local speciality)

  • Ascend from Level 80: 60 Subdetection Units (or any local speciality)

Subdetection Units are an essential resource in Genshin Impact, particularly for character ascension. With the release of version 4.1, players have the opportunity to explore the Fontaine region and farm these mechanical insects efficiently.
