This is a guide to Character Ascension, or going past the max level, in Genshin Impact. Learn how to level up your character, and the bonuses obtained from Ascending.
List of Contents
Ascension is a feature which allows a Character to go past their initial level cap, as well as providing additional bonuses in itself.
When you obtain the same character multiple times from Wish rolls, you will obtain materials needed to unlock a Character's Constellations. These items are unrelated to Ascension, so you will not be able to unlock Constellations through Character Ascension. You'll need to roll a lot of Wishes if you want to open up all of these!

| Ascension Phase | Required Character Level | Required Adventure Rank |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 | 15 |
| 2 | 40 | 25 |
| 3 | 50 | 30 |
| 4 | 60 | 35 |
| 5 | 70 | 40 |
| 6 | 80 | 50 |
Ascending a Character requires unique Materials obtained in Abyssal Domains and from enemy and boss item drops It's also required to raise your Adventure Rank first before Ascending to the next level.
How to Raise Your Adventure Rank
| Step | Explanation |
|---|---|
| 1 | Raise the Character of your choice to their current max level |
| 2 |
 Select the Character screen from the Menu |
| 3 |
Go to Attributes and select or press the Ascend button |
| 4 |
Confirm the required materials, then select Ascend |
| 5 |
Congratulations! You have now raised your character's level! |
Since Adventure Rank will go up as you complete Quests and continue playing the game, collecting Materials is the only real hurdle for Ascension.
| Methods for Collecting Ascension Materials |
|---|
|
You can take a look at the required Ascension materials for the next phase using the Ascension Preview.
|
Navigate to the Level Up screen and click the indicated icon (or press the indicated button) |
|
You'll be able to see the amount of required Materials and check details of where to find them. |
This preview prevents you from getting lost on which items to find, and focus on the materials that one character needs. This is important, especially when getting materials from Boss enemies and searching for local specialties.

In order to break past the level cap on each character, Ascension is a necessary aspect of play. 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.
Best Characters to Level Up Early
Each World Level increase means that enemies and bosses become stronger. This makes the game more challenging, requiring you to ascend more characters as you play. Make sure you ascend your characters around 5-10 levels higher than enemies. This makes sure that you can handle most fights with ease.
Not only is Ascension necessary for breaking the level cap, but it also raises the Character's base stats and unlocks a new Talent for them.
Each character has a specific stat that increases at each Ascension Rank past Rank 2. This can include stats like CRIT Rate, CRIT Damage, Elemental Mastery, and different kinds of Damage Bonuses.
