Genshin Impact

(Online)

In addition to ascending and strengthening your characters, you can also ascend your weapons as you increase their level along with their strength. Keep in mind that whenever you ascend any one of your weapons, the base attack strength will increase, as well as its level cap. The required Adventure Ranks needed to ascend to each phase can be found below (Credits to the Genshin Impact wiki and Xi from the game's discord server for this information):
 

• Phase 1: Adventure Rank 15 + Weapon Level 20
• Phase 2: Adventure Rank 25 + Weapon Level 40
• Phase 3: Adventure Rank 30 + Weapon Level 50 (You will need to complete the Ascension Quest that is unlocked upon reaching Rank 25 in order to reach this rank)
• Phase 4: Adventure Rank 35 + Weapon Level 60
• Phase 5: Adventure Rank 40 + Weapon Level 70 (You will need to complete the Ascension Quest that is unlocked upon reaching Rank 35 in order to reach this rank)
• Phase 6: Adventure Rank 50 + Weapon Level 80 (You will need to complete the Ascension Quest that is unlocked upon reaching Rank 45 in order to reach this rank)

One of the core differences between ascending characters and weapons is that you will not gain any additional properties, namely talents, but regardless, the additional strength boost will help players on the long run when playing through the story. You can increase the level of your weapon by going to the Character screen and select Weapons, then select the weapon in which you want to level up or ascend and press to access the weapon enhancement screen.

In this screen, you will need to press to select which one of the three ores you want to use to increase your weapon's level but you can also use other weapons to either increase it or refine its strength. Keep in mind that only three and four star weapons can ascend to the sixth phase and the ores you can use to increase your weapon's EXP, can be found in the list below:
 

• Enhancement Ore: 400 EXP each
• Fine Enhancement Ore: 2,000 EXP each
• Mystic Enhancement Ore: 10,000 EXP each

For more information on how to increase your Adventure Rank, please refer to Onward and Upward (Third trophy). You can also check the Useful Links section of the Roadmap to see a list of weapons and materials, as well as which materials you will need to ascend any weapon. Keep in mind that if you are farming for materials in domains, you should be alarmed that the material you need may not be available until a certain day so for instance, you won't be able to get the Wolf's Cracked Tooth until either Tuesday or Friday in the Domain of Forgery: Submerged Valley, as well as the Debris of Decarabian's City which occurs in the Domain of Forgery: City of Reflections on either Monday or Thursday.
