The action-RPG by miHoYo, Genshin Impact, allows you to play different characters obtainable via several means such as adventure or wishes. In this guide, we won't tell you about tier lists or weapons, but how we will improve them.
First, we will see how to level up your heroes and therefore allow them to ascend.
Level up a character
Upgrading a character allows you to level up your character up to a certain number.
At the start of the game, you will not be able to exceed level 20 of each of your heroes. You will therefore have to move forward to unlock the ascension that we will see a little later in this guide.
To level up a character there are various ways like putting them on your team to gain experience when defeating enemies. The best way to gain experience is by using the books like in the picture below.
Ascend your character
Ascension is available when a character reaches their current maximum level. By raising your unit, it will increase its maximum level and reach a phase of raising.
The different phases of ascension
|

Restriction to unlock the phase |
|---|---|---|
|
1 |
Max level +20 |
Adventurer Rank 15 |
|
2 |
Max level +10 |
Adventurer Rank 25 |
|

Max level +10 |
Adventurer Rank 30 |
|

To be able to do an ascension, you will need a lot of resources and here are several tables that summarize how to get each of the resources you will need.
