### **SEASONALITY AND TIERS**

**A Tower of Ascension Season lasts 28 days and is divided into 4 weeks.** **Once a season has begun, every Monday you will be either promoted, demoted or stay in your Tier.** Top players in their Gauntlet get to claim mid-season chest rewards every Monday. Only the top players in your Gauntlet are promoted to the next Tier. By progressing through Tiers, you unlock more options for Ascension.

**These are the Tiers:**

* **Bronze**
* **Silver**
* **Gold**

### **GLORY AND MINION ASCENSIONS**

Each win during the Season, from Battle Arenas and Campaign to successful ranking in events, wins you Glory. Maximize your Glory stash by excelling across different game modes and events. **There’s a cap on how much Glory you can earn from Battle Arenas and Campaign: 60 per day.** **Day ends and the cap resets at midnight of the region in which you registered.** Your Glory automatically converts to Ascension points which you can use to make Minions of your choice stronger for one season through Ascensions.

#### ***ASCENSION AND GLORY POINTS***

***READ CAREFULLY NOTES, THERE IS A LOT OF ADITIONAL INFORMATION THAT WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE MECHANICS***

#### ***TIPS***

***EVERY VICTORY IN BATTLE ARENA WILL GIVE YOU +4 GLORY POINTS, UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO SCALE TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH DAILY GLORY POINTS YOU HAVE WON (ON THIS EXAMPLE YOU HAVE TOTAL GLORY POINTS SHOWN UNTIL YOU REACH MILESTONE FOR NEXT ASCENSION POINT 1.102/1.612). THE SCALE SHOULD SHOW, FOR EXAMPLE 4/60***

***WHEN YOU GET SCREEN AFTER A VICTORY WITHOUT A SCALE IT MEANS YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR DAILY 60 GLORY POINTS LIMIT***

***WHEN YOU REACH MILESTONE (IN THIS EXAMPLE 1.612 GLORY POINTS) YOU WILL RECEIVE 1 ASCENSION POINT***

***NOTICE THAT YOU RECEIVE GLORY POINTS AFTER FINISHING EVENTS (FOR MORE INFORMATION CHECK PAGES "EVENTS" and "BOSS RAID" ON THIS WIKI) AND IF YOU PLAY "NORMALLY" THIS EVENTS (FINISHING IN TOP 10 OR 20 ON YOUR EVENT LEADERBOARD) AND REACH EVERY SINGLE DAY MAXIMUM GLORY POINTS (60), YOU WILL GET A MAXIMUM OF 10 (2.297-3.150GPs) (+3 IF YOU HAVE FINISHED PREVIOUS SEASON IN GOLD GAUNTLET, OR +2/+1 IF YOU HAVE FINISHED PREVIOUS SEASON IN SILVER/BRONZE GAUNTLET) ASCENSION POINTS DURING ONE SEASON.***

***IF YOU WANT TO HAVE MORE ASCENSION POINTS YOU WILL HAVE TO PLAY EVENTS TO BE IN TOP 50 ON GLOBAL LEADERBOARD (BOSS RAID EVENT CAN GIVE UP TO 4.000 APs FOR THE 1st PLACE).***

### **MINION ASCENSIONS**

Minion Ascensions are alternations that improve a Minion but without changing its core function or strategic role. Each ascension costs 1, 2 or 3 Ascension points and Minions from the same World are connected through ascension branches. **To ascend a Minion further on a branch, you’ll have to ascend the previous Minions.** Active Minion Ascensions can be reset with 50 gems, if there are no active Ascension later on the same branch.

***NOTICE: ALL GIVEN DATA IS FOR THE GAME VERSION 2.1.7 (April '21) & LATEST BALANCE PATCH (SEASON XXXIV --> Sep/Oct '22)***

***From Season XVI game developers will experiment with even more units getting ability “Can be spawned in any location”, disrupting the expected spawn territory rules, and opening more room for unexpected offense plays through Ascensions. Be on the lookout for this new Ascension in the upcoming seasons!***

***They have also reworked the descriptions of Ascensions that involve range increases. Those will no longer specify the exact number of range increases, but we’ll include these up-to-date values in the seasonal patch notes on the official Forum. This will be applied to the following Minions: Goblin Marksman, Silver Ranger, Amazon, Alchemist, Crow, Nature Guardian and Revenant (marked in Orange in Tables), those of which who are feature in the Tower of Ascension have an ascension range increase of +5 in Season XVI.***

**Ascensions and Ascension Tree are reset every season (every 28 days)** changing the constellation of ascensions and which Minions can be ascended and how.

### **WEEKLY BOOSTS**

***Every week, Minions from one of the three worlds will have a health and damage boost of 5 %.***

**The last week of a season, Minions from all three worlds have the same boost.**

Note: Ascensions and boosts apply to all battles across different modes and events.
