This is a guide on how to level up your characters in Genshin Impact. Read on to know the fastest way to level your characters and learn the benefits and rewards of leveling up.

How to Level Up Characters

Defeating your enemies

Genshin Impact - Level Them by Defeating Enemies
While you can get EXP from defeating an enemy, it is not recommended because the amount of EXP you gain from it is tiny compared to leveling them up using Character EXP Materials.

Using Character EXP Materials

Leveling your characters using Character EXP Material is the fastest way to max out their level.

How to Use EXP Materials
1
To level up a character using character EXP materials, go to the Main Menu and open the Character Screen Menu.
2
In the Attributes, you can select or press the Level Up button.
3
A window should pop out and you can now put the amount of EXP Material you can use on your character.

Character EXP Material

Each Character EXP Material gives different amount of EXP depending on its rarity.

Do Not Waste EXP materials

Genshin Impact - Character Leveling up

While it might be tempting to increase everyone's level, spending your resources on characters that you won't even be using is going to be a waste.

Instead, save your materials for the characters that will be relevant throughout the game.
