How to Ascend Your Weapons in Genshin Impact

In the vast world of Genshin Impact, ascending your weapons can be a crucial aspect of building a strong arsenal to aid you in your adventure. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of ascension, exploring the factors that affect weapon ascension and provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to ascend your weapons efficiently.

Understanding Weapon Ascension

Weapon ascension in Genshin Impact involves combining three essential items – Level-Up Materials, Exp Ascension Materials, and Primogems – to boost the weapon’s strength, unlocking new levels, and ultimately, increasing the character’s overall damage output.

Requirements for Ascending Weapons

Before delving into the process of weapon ascension, you should know the following key requirements:

• Characters Must Reach Max Level: Ascending weapons requires leveling up your characters to max level (60) at least once.
• Complete Adventurer Rank Milestones: You must finish key AR milestones to progress.
• Gather Materials: Collect the three required materials: Level-Up Materials, Exp Ascension Materials, and Primogems.
• Manage Character Energy: Ensure sufficient energy is available for crafting ascension materials.

Steps for Ascending Your Weapon

Now that we have covered the basics, follow these steps to ascend your weapons:

1. Select the Weapon for Ascension: Choose the weapon you want to ascend. You can access weapon selection in the "Profile" menu.
2. Gather Required Materials:
   • Level-Up Materials: These vary by weapon type and element (e.g., Dandelion, Glidebarrel, etc.).
   • Exp Ascension Materials: These are randomly rewarded through events, special promotions, or purchased directly with Primogems (approximately 160 Primogems).
   • Primerogems: Purchase directly with in-game currency (Mora), acquire from events, or collect rewards from the World Map.
3. Use the Level-Up Material: Combine the level-up material with the target weapon in the "Refine" menu to ascend to the next level.

The Next Level: Exp Ascension Materials

Once your character has reached max level (60) and you’ve combined the level-up materials with your weapon, use Exp Ascension Materials (see the table below).

*Use Exp Ascension Materials with the weapon. For each tier you reach, the weapon ascension increases by 6 – 12 levels**

Unlocking New Skills with Primogems:

Primogem Benefits:

• Reduces material costs for refinement by 50%.
• Rewards an additional 250 XP per refinement.
• Gives you a chance to skip a refinement step or generate more materials.

After following these steps, ascending your weapon will become increasingly effective. Remember to use Exp Ascension Materials frequently and manage your resource generation to optimize your upgrades.

Conclusion
Genshin Impact weapon ascension is a multifaceted process that rewards exploration and strategic resource gathering. By understanding the components of weapon ascension – leveling up characters, completion of milestones, and accumulating resources – you’ll develop an edge in your climb through the ranks.
