How It Works

How is XP Earned?

XP in Ascendants is earned through Events and Battles, with special mechanics that balance progression across the ecosystem.


Event Conditions

Players can earn XP by completing specific in-game actions.

Example:

  • Action: Spend 250 Gold

  • Reward: Gain 100 XP


Battles

XP is primarily gained by defeating enemies. The total XP earned depends on:

  • Monster type (stronger monsters give higher XP)

  • Number of enemies defeated

  • Your Player Level

Formula

Total XP = (XP per Monster × Number of Enemies Defeated) × Player Level

Game Over Screen & XP Carryover

When a run ends, XP earned during the match will carry over at a reduced rate (÷10).

Example:

  • XP earned during match: 100

  • Carried over after death: 10

This ensures some progression between runs, while keeping balance.

New System: Dual XP

To better track player progression, we introduce two XP types:

  1. Ascension XP (Battle XP) → Used to level up your character.

  2. XP → Used across the entire ecosystem (PvP, Boss Fights, Crafting, Leaderboards, etc.).

This dual system ensures both immediate character growth and long-term ecosystem progression.
