==Progression==
===Leveling===
Characters gain Character EXP primarily by using Character EXP Materials, as well as negligible amounts of experience for defeating monsters.
The Archon Quests in the Prologue - Wanderer's Trail, Act I - The Outlander Who Caught the Wind and Act II - For a Tomorrow Without Tears of the Prologue also reward Character EXP.
===Ascensions===
Characters can be ascended to their next ascension phase once they reach their current max level and the player has the required Adventure Rank. Characters can be ascended up to 6 times (up to Lv. 90).
To ascend a character, go to the character screen and click on the Ascend button at the bottom-right of the Character Menu. A box will appear, showing which Character Level-Up Materials, Character Ascension Materials, Local Specialties, and Character and Weapon Enhancement Materials are needed, and the Mora cost required to ascend the character. If there is an item missing, click on it to see various ways to obtain it. See each character's page for the materials needed for each ascension.
Upon reaching the 1st and 4th ascension, the character unlocks their 1st and 2nd passive combat talents respectively. The 3rd passive utility talent (available to all characters, except the Traveler) is already unlocked without any ascensions.
On the 2nd ascension, the character gains a special flat bonus attribute boost, either for one of their base attributes (e.g., the Traveler gains a bonus to their ATK value) or a special attribute (e.g., Ningguang gains a while Lisa gains an Elemental Mastery bonus). This bonus further increases upon the 3rd, 5th, and 6th ascension.
Ascending characters to their 1st, 3rd, and 5th phase will reward the player with one Acquaint Fate.
