Does rank affect ascension

Gr8TonyStark

If I ascend my r4 champ and then r5 him later, will the stats be different from when I r5 first and then ascend.
So does "ascend first, rank later" = "rank first, ascend later". Will the values of attack and health be same in either case?

The order it's done in won't make a difference. Think of ascension more as a rank 6. However you get there, the champ will have their rank 6 values.

The order doesn’t matter, you could ascend a r1 champ and then take them r5. And the stats would be the same as a champ that was R5 before being ascended. It believe it’s just a flat 22% boost that’s always active on them.
