## **Build Creator (Website)**

Ascension is unique in the fact you can take talents and skills from every class, meaning builds can be difficult to create and optimize. Luckily, Ascension has ways to create and share builds easily both in game and on the website.

### Editor Basics

   This is a basic view of the builds section of the Project Ascension website. You can click abilities and talents to add them to your build as well as click each individual class's icon at the top to switch to their respective abilitlies/talents. The picture of the represents general abilities not related to a class that may be added in the future. Highlighting an ability will give its description, including what stats improve the ability.

You can see how many essences you've spent in your build in the top left corner (maximizing at 60 ability essence and 51 talent essence respectively)

If at any point you feel you've made a mistake and need to start over, you can press the right-most button at the top (labled "3") in order to reset the build and refund every point.

### Importing

If you have a build you're working on, such as one you're using in game already; you can easily import it to the website to continue to modify it.

    By clicking the leftmost button at the top right of the editor (labled 1 above), you can import a build using the the code given to you by another player or in game. Clicking the button opens a prompt for your build-code, which you then type (or paste) into the text box before hitting import.

Doing this will select all the talents and abilities represented by the code, allowing you to quickly get into the action of crafting the perfect changes to your build.

Exporting
When you're finished your build and want to import it (or to just test it in game), you can export it in the form of a code to easily transfer into the Ascension client.

   Clicking the middle button at the top (labeled 2 on the first picture), will bring you to the export screen. This will tell you how to both link your build to other players as well as how to bring it into the Ascension client.

The code is fairly long, so it is recommend to copy and paste the code if you want to use it. You will also want to make sure you highlight the entire thing, as its length is very often longer than the shown text. You can also just copy the URL of the website in order to send it to other players.

### Editor and Summary View

Pressing the bottom button on the right side of the builds section will switch your build to a summary view (labeled "5" on the previous picture) The previous view, called the editing view, can be accessed by the top button on the right side (labeled as "4" in the first picture) and is the default view of the talent trees.

    The summary view gives you an easy way to see exactly where your ability and talent points have been placed on a single screen, allowing you to do a quick and easy review of your build before you export it from the website and import into Ascension.

In editor view, you can view both talents and abilities by highlighting the names, but not the icons. However, you cannot place more abilities and talents until you switch back to the editor view. Both views are extremely helpful in build creation.

## Build Importing and Exporting (In Game)

Exporting your current build isn't difficult. Go into the new "Hero Architect" and click the "generate list" button. After that, click the "Known" button. This will let you generate a code to share.

Importing a build requires you to create a build in the "Hero Architect". You do this by first clicking Editor Mode in the architect, then clicking "load existing", then "load by link" and paste the build of the code you wish to use. You can then click "Learn All" to learn all the abilities and talents from this specialization.
