How To Ascend Champions In Raid Shadow Legends
To ascend champions in Raid Shadow Legends, follow these steps:
- Head to the tavern and select your desired champion
- With the champion selected click the ascend tab on the right-hand side of the screen
- Once there you will be given the option to ascend your champion.
- If you have the required potions you can then click ascend in the bottom right to ascend your champion one rank.
If you don’t have the required potions, check the potion mixer located just under the ascend tab to see if you can convert some of your potions to the ones you need. This tab allows you to turn lesser potions into greater potions and greater potions into superior potions for the cost of silver. Unfortunately, you cannot turn superior potions into greater potions or greater potions into lesser potions.
If you want to ascend your champion fully, you will have to do this six times.
When To Ascend Your Champions In Raid Shadow Legends
You should ascend your champions to at least rank three as soon as possible. At ascension rank 3, you unlock the upgraded skill for your champion, and you don’t want to go too long without having that. In the end, it doesn’t matter too much when you do this.
Other than getting the upgraded skill, there is not a lot of benefit in getting ascension early. It’s much more important to focus on getting your champion to level 60. Also, it costs quite a lot of energy to farm potion dungeons, and early on, you should have different energy spending priorities.
It’s also important to note that you probably won’t be able to take advantage of the amulet and banner slots you get from later ascension ranks due to being unable to farm them efficiently.
Ascending your champions is a way to min-max, and you shouldn’t focus on it too much in the early game.
Conlcusion
There you have it. That is everything you need to know about Raid Shadow Legends ascension. As you can see, ascending your champions is an essential part of the game and allows you to take your champions to their full potential.
