If you’re diving into All Star Tower Defense X (ASTDX), you may have noticed your units hit a leveling cap during intense enemy waves. This often signals a need for ascension or evolution, crucial steps to boost your units’ power. Let’s explore the essentials of ascending and evolving your characters in the game!
At ASTDX, there are two primary methods to enhance your characters: Evolve and Ascend. Evolving applies specifically to 3-star and 4-star characters, whereas ascending is reserved for high-tier units. Let’s break down the straightforward process for each technique.
How to Ascend Units in All Star Tower Defense X
For players looking to ascend their units, focus on those 5-star or higher characters. First, select the character from your loadouts. Click the Ascend button at the bottom to display the materials needed for ascension.
Once you gather the required items, hit the gold amount button to spend your materials and gold for the ascension in ASTDX. You can acquire these materials through various NPC quests, challenges, evolutions, ASTDX codes, and story rewards.
How to Evolve Units in All Star Tower Defense X
If you haven’t been fortunate enough to pull 5-star characters, don’t worry! Evolution is still an option for 3-star and 4-star units in ASTDX.
To evolve a character, navigate to your Units tab, select the character, and press the Evolve button. Much like ascension, evolving requires specific materials. Once you have everything, hit the gold amount option to spend the necessary resources to evolve your unit.
