Ascend: Reborn – Tips and Tricks to Getting Started

Newbie stuff you must know.

Before You Starting

All credit goes to AlienPickle!

1. You start with 50,000 souls. Do not spend them in creation.
2. You get a choice of Dark, Void, or Light. For your first character pick Void.
3. As Void you get a “Seeker” magic missile spell. Take your 50,000 souls and invest in that spell and upgrade the damage to max.

Now you’re prepared and won’t run into “Gosh, I wish I could reset my account” regrets.

Tips and Tricks

Do not spend souls repairing equipment. Ever. Press i for inventory, go to the MAP tab, and press the TAB key to recall to base. Behind you is a bridge going down to a forge. The forge will auto-repair everything you have equipped. Just give it a couple minutes, check inventory to make sure it’s done. It won’t repair things that aren’t worn, so you might have to swap items if you’re using multiple weapons etc.

Also, next to the forge are 5 dungeon doors. One is unlocked. It’s an endless dungeon that you can run over and over and over if you’re short on cash. Also, the dungeons you find out in the world can be re-run as well. The chests stay looted for a day then respawn, but you can farm the enemies for souls all day long.

When you “ascend” a character, you get to pass on one piece of equipment. New characters will start with that item available. You also get to keep the spells from the first character, which is why you maxxed out that super OP seeker spell, because it can let you kite around the boss monsters and kill them. And it never goes away.

If you already started a character and it wasn’t void, when you ascend you can pick a different realm, so pick it then. Make sure you unlock the spells you want from your current realm before you ascend though, or you’ll have to come back for them with another ascension later.

When you get “invaded” it looks like a human but it’s really a bot. Human players do appear in your game and you can mess with each other by sending monsters into the other person’s instance. However, you’ll never cross swords with another player, only bots. It’s just very convincingly done so you think you are.

Every weapon type has different attacks and combos. Light, light, heavy attack for example. Very different results depending on what weapon you have equipped. With a 2H hammer this produces a nice 360 sweep attack.
