Ascending to Power: Character and Weapon Progression in Genshin Impact

To truly unleash your heroes’ potential in Genshin Impact, you must engage with the comprehensive progression systems for both Characters and Weapons. Leveling, ascending, and increasing talents are crucial steps that significantly boost your combat prowess and allow you to tackle increasingly difficult content across Teyvat.

Growing Stronger: The Path to Power

Continuously enhance your team’s capabilities.

• Character Leveling: Use EXP Materials (Hero’s Wit, Adventurer’s Experience) to increase a character’s level. This primarily boosts their HP and ATK.
• Character Ascension: At certain level caps (e.g., Level 20, 40), characters must be “Ascended” to increase their max level, boost base stats, and unlock new talents. This requires specific Ascension Materials gathered from bosses and exploration.
• Talent Leveling: Each character has three active talents (Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, Elemental Burst) and often passive talents. Leveling active talents significantly boosts their damage or effectiveness. This requires unique Talent Books (from Domains) and Boss Materials.
• Constellations: Obtaining duplicate characters grants a Stella Fortuna, unlocking a character’s Constellations. These provide powerful passive buffs or enhance existing talents, making characters much stronger.
• Weapon Leveling: Use Weapon Enhancement Materials (Mystic Enhancement Ore, Fine Enhancement Ore) to increase a weapon’s level, boosting its Base ATK and sub-stat.
• Weapon Ascension: Similar to characters, weapons must be “Ascended” at level caps using specific Weapon Ascension Materials (from Domains) to increase their max level and stats.

Consistent farming of EXP materials, Ascension materials, and Talent Books is key to fully developing your favorite characters and weapons in Genshin Impact.
