Ascension is denoted by the number of golden/grey chevrons on each hero card. Each new level of ascension increases the attack, defense, and health of the hero significantly. It also levels up the hero's Special Skill.

  • Ascension Example
    1* heroes ascend once
  • 2* and 3* heroes ascend twice
  • 4* and 5* heroes ascend three times

How to Ascend[]

A hero may only ascend when they have leveled up to their current maximum level, at which point their Level Up button will be greyed out and no longer available until you ascend. Each time your hero ascends it will increase their maximum level potential by 10 and will reset their level back to 1, as well as slightly increasing their stats. Ascension costs specific ascension materials which are dependent on the ascension level itself as well as the color/element of the hero. Once the hero has reached the maximum ascension tier, the Ascend button will become grey and unusable.

Effects on Leveling[]

A Hero's Rarity (denoted by stars Star icon) determines both its maximum level potential, as well as the number of times that it may ascend. Each ascension also increases a hero's maximum level potential by 10. All heroes begin at the 1st tier of ascension.

Ascension Crystals[]

Ascension Crystals are new additions as part of V60, function similar to Aether Crystals. When the Ascension Summon is active, the accumulation of 10 Ascension Crystals for a single pull or 90 Ascension Crystals for a 10-pull can be performed to pull a collection of unfarmable ascension materials or Emblems, and Trainer Heroes.
