Ascension of Heroes in the AFK Journey is extremely important if you want to have stronger heroes and progress further in the game. Ascension is basically upgrading your heroes to a higher tier. Each time you upgrade your hero to a higher tier, you will get additional stats. What is more important is that you will unlock exclusive gear when you reach the Mythic Ascension tier. Currently, there are 10 hero tiers.
How to Ascend Heroes in AFK Journey
To Ascend heroes in the AFK Journey, you will need Hero Soul Sigils and Faction Acorns. There are a lot of ways to get hero Soul Sigils and Faction Acorns. Once you collect them, navigate to Resonating Hall, click on the hero, and you will see an option to ascend your hero.
Now what you should keep in mind is that each faction has Faction Acorns that are needed for Ascension. For example, Valen and Lucius share the same Faction Acorns, so you have to be careful and decide on which hero you will spend it on. So before you start Ascension of Heroes, you have to decide which hero you will use the most. Most beginner players will make the mistake of spending Faction Acorns on random heroes, and then they will not have enough for the hero that they want to use in the team.
So think twice before you spend Faction Acorns, and feel free to check out the AFK Journey tier list that will help you determine the best heroes in the game.

Where to get Materials for Ascension (Faction Acorns and Hero Soul Sigils)
There are a lot of ways to get Faction Acorns and hero Soul Sigils in the AFK Journey, but it will take you some time to get all the heroes on the max tier. Ways to get Faction Acorns and hero Soul Sigils are:
Recruitment: Each time you open an invitation letter, you will get Faction Acorns and Hero Soul Sigils. The amount that you will get is random, but what is great is that you can create a hero wish list for invitation letters. So put heroes in your wish list that you want to ascend so you can get their materials. Now we all know that you will get most of the materials from invitation letters, but it is not worth spending your diamonds on purchasing them. Just try to obtain free ones by playing the game.
Legend Trial: This is a battle mode that will give you a lot of Faction Acorns.
Nobel Path: The Nobel Path is a battle pass that will give you some awesome items like invitation letters. One of them is Faction Acorns, but you will also get Soulstones. When you collect 60 soul stones, you will be able to create one random Hero Soul Sigil. If you are planning to play the game for some time, it is worth it to purchase the premium Nobel Path so you can get more items.
Dream Store: Dream Store is a place where you can purchase hero Soul Sigils for S-tier heroes. To purchase, you need Dream Fragments that you get from battle mode Dream Realm.
Arena Store: The Arena Store is extremely important. In this store, you can purchase hero Soul Sigils for S-tier heroes that are hard to get from invitation letters. You will need arena coins, so do your best to climb the rankings so you can earn more arena coins.
General Store: In the general store, there is a chance that you will be able to purchase Faction Acorns and invitation letters, but we do not recommend that. There are better ways to spend your diamonds.
That is all the ways to get Faction Acorns and hero Soul Sigils in AFK Journey. With time and effort, you will be able to collect a lot of them to Ascend the majority of your heroes. Just be careful how you spend it if you are a new player. Your main goal is to unlock exclusive weapons for your main heroes.
If you are a pay-to-win player who wants to get all heroes on Max Tires, then feel free to simply purchase invitation letters with diamonds. If we missed something or you have any tips, please share them below in the comment section.
