Usagefocus 'ascendant ego'
Ascendant Ultra Ego is a higher mastery of the Ultra Ego form that inverts its strengths and weaknesses. It represents complete mastery over destruction energy, focusing offensive power at peak health rather than when injured. When activated while in Ultra Ego form, your attacks deal their maximum damage at full health and grow weaker as your powerlevel drops. Your autohits strike with the force of a god: they are multiplied far beyond the base form, pierce part of your target's armor, and your opponent's blows may be answered with a furious retort. At 100% PL you take half damage. As your PL drops this rises evenly to normal damage at 10% PL, so being worn down never leaves you worse off than having no form at all. Maintaining the ascendant form requires additional God Ki to sustain. When God Ki cannot cover the full cost, Ascendant falls back to regular Ultra Ego, and only when it cannot cover Ultra Ego either does the whole form drop. Ego Credit, see help transfuse, pays this upkeep before God Ki. Ascendant carries the Advanced Technique charge exactly as regular Ultra Ego does, and reverting Ascendant back to Ultra Ego does not drop it. See help ultraego. Details: Damage will be highest at 100% PL, gradually decreasing as powerlevel drops. NOTE: 8x damage at 100% PL, falling to no bonus at 0% PL Ascendant's kit: - Autohits strike at x45 at full PL (Ego Strike), falling with your PL like the rest of your damage - Autohits pierce 20% of the target's armor - At 100% Ultra Ego skill, half of your opponent's autohits are answered with a retort worth x150 at full PL, without stopping their swing. You must be on your feet and not dazed, and your own NPC followers and clones never draw one Damage Taken Scaling: damage you take at each PL 100% PL: 50% 50% PL: 78% 90% PL: 56% 40% PL: 83% 80% PL: 61% 30% PL: 89% 70% PL: 67% 20% PL: 94% 60% PL: 72% 10% PL: 100% - Holding Advanced Technique: 50% at any PL, see below. Carried over from UE still active STR+ - ( Current Tier * 25 ) Temper Trait: * 3 / Otherwise * 2 * (Skill Percent/100) Damroll - (Current Damroll / 10) God Trait: * 3 / Otherwise * 2 * (Skill Percent/100) - Grants +10% quick recovery chance to all skills - God Ki cost is doubled (+100 per affect tick) - Falls back to Ultra Ego when God Ki covers only the base 100 - Perfect for offensive burst strategies at full health - Requires first activating Ultra Ego form - God Trait increases damage buff by 0.5 - Temper Trait increases damage buff by 0.5 - UREVERT will drop Ascendant Ego back to Regular UE - Ascendant Ego does not persist through REMORTs - Speak with minister after beating Zeno to unlock Advanced Technique: shared with regular Ultra Ego, full details in help ultraego. In short, completing a combo arms a charge worth 20% extra PHY/KI skill damage and a flat 10% chance to block or deflect skills and autohits, and a combo spends it for 20% armor penetration and re-arms it. Ascendant adds more: while you hold the charge you fight at your peak, whatever your current PL. - Holding Advanced Technique: full PL damage and half damage taken at any PL, even while dazed. The combo that spends the charge still strikes at your peak
