This guide on How To Increase Difficulty Level To 1 In Honkai Star Rail will tell you everything you need to know to advance the difficulty level so you can unlock the next difficulty setting and then advance your characters through ascendance.

Much like Genshin Impact, the difficulty feature in Honkai Star Rail is a progressive system, unlike traditional difficulty settings that can be changed at any time. Changing difficulty in Honka Star Rail is more about advancing the game world. Yes, it does get more difficult, but it’s part of progressing through the game rather than adjusting a single option in a menu. If you want to continue advancing through the game, you will need to unlock new Difficulty levels in order to progress.
