When you obtain the same character multiple times from Wish rolls, you will obtain materials needed to unlock a Character's Constellations.

To proceed through the story, Ascension becomes necessary as enemies grow more powerful, so keep Ascension in mind as you play and collect the listed Ascension Materials for your characters whenever you have the opportunity.
