7 star ascension is player W..it’s just not obvious why at first maybe?

Ok I know,,compared to 6 star ascension, it sux. Massively.

6 star ascension was basically get some ascension dust and you sorted.

But.

If they are not releasing 8 stars..and the 7 star “ascension program is actually “8 stars”, then I don’t see the issue.

In fact it’s a huge bonus. Because when you do finally get lucky enough to ascend your chosen 7 star to 8 star…guess what…it’s fully sigged up and ready to roll.

So the choices are..

Release 8 stars, and then everyone try and rebuild their entire roster randomly with 8 star crystals and get them sigged up, and buy 8 star ag and 8 star sig stones.

Or

Ascend 7 stars and everyone try and get their chosen hero ascended randomly at some point, but when you do, it’s already good to go.

When you look at it in that way, the ascension program still has the randomness of acquiring your hero to ascend that you’d get when you randomly open an 8 star crystal…you’re still going to pull the same **** 8 star junk hero as you will when you pull a **** junk asscndable 7 star….but it’s sooooooooo much better than 8 stars…fully maxed…no new sig stones..no new ag..and when you do get your chosen hero….its just a massive W.

So yeah. When you look at it like that..it’s a good thing.

This is extremely incorrect.

Cost and time wise 8*s would have been a much better addition to the game.

It is not a good thing and there have been numerous forum threads, YouTube videos, posts and breakdowns of why ascension as it is is not good.

If it was what it was promised to be then it would have been better. But currently it is much much worse in pretty much every aspect

Ascension for 7 stars is optimal and will continue this way.

Crying wont make Kabam change, only if they decided, as its their game.

Thanks Kabam 🥳

I have you ignored but decided to engage with you one time here.

Never in the history of Marvel Contest of Champions have we been required to pull a champion via random crystal drops multiple times to extend our vertical level of power. It has always been a horizontal metric until the introduction of 7* ascension.

it’s only ascension 3+ that scares me. I do like that I own and have many options awakened for when they do become acended

Perhaps for ascension 3+ they release t3 primordial dust and you only need that and class tokens and you can ascend who you want? We might get more info on the april 17th stream

The thought of having basically no sig levels on new champions for a year is not something I ever want to to back to
