**NOTE:
With the addition of update 5.16 Super Ascend, tracking Ascensions no longer has any meaning, so this thread is being abandoned and the Leaderboard won't be updated anymore. But I'll leave the content that was already here as the final pre-Super Ascend stats. Perhaps see Math's new Super Ascension leaderboard thread? https://www.warzone.com/Forum/589522-superascension-leaderboard?Offset=0#Reply - which at the time of writing is still empty b/c no one has ascended.

Here is a list of folks who have self-identified as having Ascended, or I know already. There is 0 value in this list short of sharing the info, and only those who let me know are on the list. If you want to be on the list, respond here.

If >1 ascensions, it's listed in brackets.

3rd time at 18/8/2021 (skipped USA, Hard Siege, Hard Old Town, Hard Rise&Fall)

From my stats page:

"Fastest win by time: 3 hours 54 minutes" -Master Jz

Stop that, only I am allowed to super power inspire mercenaries on Kirovsky. >_<

WOW, 4, 5 & 6 Ascensions! I thought 3-4 would be the top #'s. 6 is insane, nice job.

Stop that, only I am allowed to super power inspire mercenaries on Kirovsky. >_<

That's bread and butter now. For me (+100% additional mercs - yours may be higher/lower - actually for 5 ascensions, probably higher), it was a 893B merc camp . . . there was never any question on whether I would superpower IM on the biggest merc camp on HEH.

Europe Huge
Fastest win by time: 3 hours 54 minutes
Fastest win by session age: 3 hours 46 minutes

Impressive! I think my fastest so far is about 16 hrs.

It's not a competition.

Especially that there are players who invested coins and real word money in purchasing artifacts and AP, so the whole progress is incomparable.
Also, the possibility to skip levels and stil "ascend" makes ascension a bad indication for progress

Ascend 1 04/16/2021
Ascend 2 06/30/2021

Don't disagree with you. And yet we are still interested in tracking it, simply b/c it's interesting. There's no prizes for this, just discussion.

Europe Huge
First played: 2021/03/17 10:39:33
Times played: 8
Fastest win by time: 53 minutes
Fastest win by session age: 2 hours 51 minutes

But I've decided to quit idle so this number isn't going up again.

53 minutes! wow

But how many ascensions?

My time would be far more impressive if it didn't involve a +1000% hospital boost ;)

8 europe huge plays should correspond to 8 ascensions.

My Europe huge also involved the 1000% hospital boost :)

@krinid,

I have something better to propose, but you'll have to wait for next week. Stay tuned!

Wow, sounds like some people got some good use of the 1000% boost! Now these 6-8x ascensions are making more sense. HAHA

@Parsifal
Sounds good, excited to hear more!

@megaol

But I've decided to quit idle so this number isn't going up again.
Why are you quitting Idle? It looks like you are the most advanced player.

Please also clarify what is the 1000% hospital boost? Is it a high level artifact? I have a rare Hospital boost artifact and gives me 8% extra.

Thanks,
Arcturus

I'm pretty sure, they are talking about this bug that was abusable for a short period of time:

@Arcturus

A rare Hospital boost artifact was 8%. There were a few hours on 16/8 when it became 800%. Afterwards it went back to 8% again. If you were online during those few hours, you would see that your rare Hospital boost artifact giving you a 800% boost.
