To Ascend your characters in Honkai: Star Rail, you will need Ascension Materials. Every character’s Ascension requires different Ascension Materials, and you can click on their image on the screen to find out where you can farm these materials. If you have been exploring the world, completing side quests, and farming Calyxs, chances are, you probably have all the materials you need. <\/p>\n

The current level cap for each character in the game is 80, and you will have to Ascend your character six times to reach there. Ascending characters will unlock new skill branches in the Traces section. <\/p>\n
