Tales of Ascension's November update reworks artifacts and adds Auras, Stage Records and two races
Every artifact now adds a role stat and keeps its level, and each campaign stage gets replays of its lowest-Combat-Power wins for stuck players.
By Crit Daily, updated
Tales of Ascension, which plays on Android and in the browser, published its November update notes on 1 November. The update reworks artifacts, adds an Aura tab for the Sect Master and puts a Records button on every campaign stage.
Artifact rework and role stats
Every artifact now adds a stat for its role: Follow-up adds ATK, Modifier adds Inner Power, Wardens add HP and Support adds DEF. At level 1 the bonus is 4, 5, 6 or 7% for Low, Mid, High and Supreme grade, rising to 7.6, 9.5, 11.4 and 13.3% at level 10. Low-grade artifacts give only the stat, while Mid grade and above also carry a mechanic that steps up at level milestones. The notes say existing artifacts and their levels are kept.
Sect Master Auras and Stage Records with replays
The Azure set is free, and a new aura from it opens with each realm, from Qi Refining to Dao Ancestor. Limited auras, such as Blood Moon and Myriad Immortals, are event rewards.
Each campaign stage now shows two boards per server: the first three players to clear it, and the three wins with the lowest team Combat Power. Every entry has a replay, and the developer says records are checked on the server against a replay of the battle.
Summon Race, Herb Race and daily content
The Summon Race runs Monday to Wednesday and Thursday to Saturday, from 9 November. The Herb Race runs from the 15th to the 21st of each month, starting 15 November. Daily guild quests that reset at midnight game time, three mini-game rounds a day and a new Stat Details panel are also in the notes. Wood plague now caps at 20 stacks, and damage-reduction buffs from skills and passives no longer multiply; the highest one applies.
The Google Play listing, updated on 4 November, adds two things the update notes don’t mention: server S4 opening on 5 November at 10:00 GMT+7, and a new S Grade Fire disciple, Obsidian Sovereign.
What it means for players
Anyone stuck on a stage can now watch replays of the three wins with the lowest team Combat Power. Players with a favourite Mid-grade or better artifact should check its next level milestone, since that is where its mechanic steps up. The notes also list two optional top-up reward tracks, a monthly Top-Up Total and a Daily Top-Up.
