Genshin Impact – How To: Refine and Enhance Weapons

In order to increase your Adventure Rank, you need to go out on an adventure; however, you may have encountered many monsters that are too tough to handle. Whether they are out in the wild or inside a dungeon, they’re sure to make grinding even more difficult than it already is.

You may come across monsters that are very aggressive and will want to hurt you so bad. Some of them are manageable but some are too tough to handle. This is because Genshin Impact adjust the monsters stats and levels based on your stats and level. So if you’re level is high enough, you’ll definitely feel the strain of pushing on, grinding everyday to increase your Adventure Rank and obtain valuable items.

With that said, your character can be toughened up with the use of upgrades. When weapons and gears are upgrades an the items base stats like attack damage and crit rate and increased. Also, added bonus stats are randomly given which allows your characters to stand up against high level bosses.
