How does Ascending work?
Lower-tier characters, like 3- or 4-star ones, need to level up by Evolving. However, 5-star or higher characters can only be upgraded by Ascension. Both processes will require certain amounts of different materials and Gold Coins to complete. Here's how to Ascend units in this game:
- Head to the Units tab on the left side of your screen.
- Select the unit you want to Ascend.
- Press the Ascend button to see the materials required for the process.
- Collect the required materials.
- Once ready, click the gold amount button to pay the appropriate fee and complete the process.
