Being able to increase the power of your party members is a good and necessary thing in Genshin Impact. In Genshin Impact, players can ascend various characters to increase their power. Each set of characters also has a set of Talents that can be altered as well. There are some characters that use an item like Calla Lily to gain a powerup. Other characters might use something like Glaze Lily and Slime Condensate, So once you know where to find these items, the next step is knowing what to do with them.
For Ascensions, you need to use this Genshin Impact character material cheatsheet and then complete the Ascension task for that character.

What should I do?
So what do you do with all this stuff once you have it? Upgrading in this game is a pretty complex task, and you will need to focus your efforts early on. You should spend your Resin on Talent Materials and Weapon Ascension domains when you’re under Adventure Rank 40. Once you’ve hit that milestone you can really open up and focus on what you want in terms of powering up your characters.
As you play, just be on the lookout for various materials that you need to complete the leveling process, as well as the oodles of crafting and cooking you will need to do.
