In the Ascension Spire you can upgrade the Heroes' Ascension Symbols by spending Ascension Resources, Star Mana, and Gold in exchange for additional Stats and new Ascension Skills. As addtional reward Ancient Wisdom Crystal are granted for each unlocked symbol, these can be used to level up the role branches in the Great Tree of Wisdom. Every five levels you will also need Eternal Seeds to level up the branch. You will only need 1 seed to get to level 5 but the amount needed will increase by 5 every 5 levels. Cost and Stats bonus for each hero is displayed on the Heroes' pages and for the roles on the Great Tree of Wisdom page.

Official Introduction[1][]

Heroes' Ascension[]

If you are interested in the Ascension of an individual hero, then in Asgard, you have to visit the Ascension Spire. In the Spire, you can choose any hero to increase their stats by enchanting Ascension Symbols. Ascension Symbols must be enchanted one by one, you cannot instantly upgrade the last Symbol. Unlocking each new Symbol makes it possible to enchant one or more of the next Symbols in line. So, each hero will have 5 Ascension Ranks in total, which will also unlock gradually. That means that only after you've enchanted all the Ascension Symbols of Rank 1 you will be able to move on to the Rank 2 and its Symbols.

The higher the hero’s Ascension Rank is, the greater bonuses they will get from the next Ascension Symbols.

In addition, certain heroes have Skill Upgrades at Rank 2 and Rank 5. These upgrades may be unlocked like any other Ascension Symbols. The first heroes whose skills could be upgraded were Thea, Cleaver, Artemis, Kai, Qing Mao, Nebula, and Dark Star. Skill Upgrades for other heroes would be added in future updates.

Ascension for Heroes with the same Role[]

To increase stats of all your heroes with a certain role, you will need to visit the Great Tree of Ascension in Asgard. There are 7 roles in Hero Wars which means that there will be 7 Branches of the Great Tree to upgrade: Tank, Mage, Healer, Support, Control, Marksman, Warrior. Heroes with two roles will not get bonus stats from two Branches of the Great Tree at once: each hero can only get a boost from the Branch for their main role — the one listed first in heroes' stats.

For example, Thea has two roles — Healer and Support, but she will receive bonus stats only from the Branch of the Healer Role. In the Great Tree, it will be possible to select any Branch and see which heroes will receive bonus stats from it.

How do I get resources for Ascension?[]

Now is the time to talk about new resources for Ascension and how to get them! For defeating henchmen and for the Guild's victory over the boss, you can get Star Mana along with special Nuggets and Regalia items that you will need in the Ascension Spire. For spending Star Mana in the Ascension Spire, you can get Crystals of Ancient Wisdom — you need them to level up Branches of the Great Tree. Thus, Ascension in the Tree and in the Spire are connected: upgrading the Ascension of individual heroes will help you to strengthen the heroes with a certain role in the Great Tree!

In addition to Crystals of Ancient Wisdom, you will need Seeds of Eternity to upgrade Branches of the Great Tree. They can be obtained for defeating a boss of a certain level, or for a large amount of total damage to the boss.

There will be additional ways to get resources:

  • When this game mode is released, Weekly Quests will appear in the game. Complete them to get some extra Ascension resources! There will be no Daily Quests for this game mode though — play, fight and upgrade Ascension when it's convenient for you during the week.
  • In Asgard, you will meet the Astral Seer — you can try your luck to get Regalia items, Nuggets, or Seeds of Eternity.
  • Based on the results of the battles held in Asgard, there will be the weekly ranking of players and guilds. The best of them will be honored in the Hall of Glory and will also get bonus resources.

Ascension Spire[]

There are five Ascension ranks (or levels) for each hero, each consisting of 10 Ascension glyphs (or symbols; or "Nodes" in the game files). Ranks II and V may also contain skill upgrades if these skill upgrades have already been unlocked for the Hero.

Heroes need to reach a certain Promotion rank to unlock (higher) Ascension ranks and each Ascension rank needs to be completed – all Ascension glyphs/symbols; not including any skill upgrades – before the next one will be available.
