The bonuses include things like increased max health, increased movement speed, or additional favorite companion slots. The ascension menu can be accessed from the ascension tab in your menu or with the

Ascension points[ | ]

An ascension point is awarded after a unknown time amount after a unknown experience gate has been passed. There is currently no way to view a player's progress toward their next ascension point.

At the end of a "saga", or an entire match from beginning to end, a multiplier is applied to the ascension points earned during that saga. End of sage bonus: winning team 100% bonus earned ascension points; losing teams 75% bonus earned ascension points. These points persist across (official)servers and sagas can be spent to unlock ascension perks on your future characters.

Ascension perks[ | ]

Perks are divided into five categories: combat, non-combat, cosmetic, construction, and other. Each of these categories has 5 tiers of perks, with the lower tiers being cheaper. To unlock higher tiers, you need to have already spent ascension points in any of the categories. Tier 2 requires spending 5 points, Tier 3 requires 20, Tier 4 requires 100, and Tier 5 requires 500.

The Ascension system is still relatively new, so not many perks are currently available.
