Character Ascension is another important way to make your characters stronger in Genshin Impact. Ascending a character increases their level cap, improves their stats, and unlocks new talent levels, allowing them to continue growing as you progress through the game.
To ascend a character, you’ll need several different materials. This includes elemental gems, boss drops, local specialties, and common enemy materials. The exact items required depend on the character’s region and element, so checking the Ascension menu is the easiest way to see what you need before starting your farming.
Boss materials are usually the most time consuming ones to collect. These are obtained by defeating world bosses that match your character’s element, such as enemies that drop specific ascension items. Since bosses require Original Resin to claim rewards, it’s a good idea to farm these materials regularly instead of waiting until you need them.
Local specialties are another important part of character ascension. These items are found throughout each region and can take several days to respawn after being collected. Using the in-game map, tracking resources, or visiting another player’s world can help you gather enough materials faster.
To make progression easier, focus on ascending the characters you use most often instead of trying to level your entire roster. Prioritizing your main DPS and important supports will help you build a stronger team while saving valuable Mora, Resin, and upgrade materials for future characters.
