Character Level
When a character is unlocked, each of them starts with a base level and a base stat.

Each character in Honkai Star Rail starts with Level 1 and can be upgradedup to Level 80. After upgrading to Level 80, these characters will obtain the highest individual combat stats and get in theirstrongest forms.
Nevertheless, the developers have put up a level cap for each character based on its ascension. You will need to ascend the characters further in order to increase this level cap. Every character is unlocked with abase level cap of 20. On the other hand, the level ceiling increases by ten levels whenever the character is ascended. In addition to this, yourTrailblazer Leveland Equilibrium Level will also play a role in determining how far you are able to ascend a certain character.
