# Ascension

Ascension requires several NFTs of a given rarity, which you burn in order to create a NFT of a higher rarity.&#x20;

This is a key progression mechanism, which will allow you to shape your collection uniquely and progress towards higher rarities.

Ascension will work for both Stickers and Pookyballs.

## Ascending Pookyballs

### 1. Basics

* You need to have 2 Max Level balls of a given rarity
  * You select 1 ball which is the “`ascending`” ball
  * You select 1 ball which is the “`secondary`” ball
* Both of them will effectively be burnt to create the `ascended` ball

### 2. Stats Transfers

**CLUB & LEAGUE**

* Club & League from the Ascending ball are transferred to the ascended ball.

**ATTRIBUTES**

* Players can choose either of:
  * RETAIN
    * Ascended Pookyball will spend 25% of its starting attribute points in the highest attribute of the `ascending` pookyball
    * Then, they will randomly spread the remaining 75% into other attributes.
  * REROLL
    * Ascended Pookyball randomly spreads its attributes

{% hint style="danger" %}
Non-resolved predictions made with Pookyballs used for ascension will be lost. Make sure you update all predictions made with those balls before confirming an ascension or energy used will be lost.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### **3. Ascension cost**

{% hint style="info" %}
Ascension cost is temporary. They will be replaced by an Ascension Token as soon as that item is available through Crafting.
{% endhint %}

* Ascension has the following cost:
  * For all rarities:&#x20;
    * Free if you merge 2 balls with the same City and League
    * Free if you merge 2 Genesis balls
    * 7.5% of the ascended rarity mint price if you merge 2 balls with the same League
    * 15% of the ascended rarity mint Price if you merge 2 unrelated balls
  * As an example, if a Rare Pookyball is minting at 120 MATIC, Ascension would be 18 MATIC for 2 unrelated Common Pookyballs.

### 4. Season boost

* The Mint Date of the ascending ball is kept intact.
* We will add an Ascension Date, and the Boost timer will start from this ascension date, if it was active at time of ascension.

### 5. Genesis balls

If the `ascending` ball is a genesis ball,

* it will retain the International boost, and the Nation boost of the `ascended` ball
* it will stay considered as a Genesis

### 6. Prestige&#x20;

* Ascended balls benefit from a higher prestige.
* Any ascension gives a basis of +10% prestige, and sums any ascension bonus from previous balls.
* As such :
  * Rare ascended always has +10% prestige ascension bonus (it merges 2 Commons with 0 ascension bonus)
  * Epic ascended has between 10% and 30% bonus prestige
    * **10% if none of the rares are ascended**
    * _20% if one is — 10% + its own 10%_
  * Legendary ascended has between 10% and 70% bonus prestige
    * _**example : I ascend an Epic with +20%, and an Epic with 0%, my legendary will get +10% + 20% + 0% = 30% ascension prestige bonus**_
    * _**max example: I ascend 2 epics with +30%, they give 10%+30%+30%=70%**_
  * Mythic ascended has between 10% and 150% bonus prestige

### 7. Stickers

All stickers are unslotted for free of both ascended Pookyballs, and go to the player collection.

### 8. Visuals

Players can keep the visuals of the Ascending Pookyball, with the rarity metal added on top; or get a  brand new randomized visual for their Pookyball.



## Ascending Stickers

### 1. Basics

Players have 3 ways of ascending stickers. _**In all three cases, all stickers used need to be of the same rarity.**_

* Merge 2 identical max level stickers
  * result: into a higher rarity sticker of the same nature
* Merge 1 max level sticker + any 5 stickers of any level
  * result: a higher rarity sticker, of the same nature as the max level sticker used
* Merge any 3 max level stickers
  * result: a higher rarity sticker, of a nature selected amongst the 3 spent stickers

The ascended sticker resulting is not attached to any Pookyball.

### 2. Ascension cost

Stickers do not have an ascension cost as of today.

### 3. Season boost

The Mint Date of the ascending sticker is preserved.

### 4. Prestige

Ascended stickers benefit from a higher prestige. Prestige of the ascended stickers depends on the ascension method.

METHOD 1 - IF you spent 2 max level identical stickers

* It’s the same system as for Pookyballs: any ascension gives a basis of +10% prestige, and sums any ascension bonus from previous stickers.
* As such :
  * Rare ascended always has +10% prestige ascension bonus (it merges 2 Commons with 0 ascension bonus)
  * Epic ascended has between 10% and 30%
    * _10% if none of the rares are ascended_
    * _20% if one is — 10% + its own 10%_
  * Legendary ascended has between 10% and 70%
    * _example : I ascend an Epic with +20%, and an Epic with 0%, my legendary will get +10% + 20% + 0% = 30% ascension prestige bonus_
    * _max example: I ascend 2 epics with +30%, they give 10%+30%+30%=70%_
  * Mythic ascended has between 10% and 150%

METHOD 2 - IF you spend 1 max sticker + 5 any level sticker

* Your ascension bonus is the max stickers’, plus 10%

METHOD 3 - IF you spend any 3 Max Level Stickers

* Your ascension bonus is the sum of the three stickers’ current ascension boost, plus 10%, the final value is CAPPED per rarity:
  * 10% for rare
  * 30% for epic
  * 70% for legend
  * 150% for mythic
