Just got SM:i maxed and he isn't ascendable. I know he'll just be in batch 4 but hopefully this is just a one off.

    Hi everyone!
    Here are the answers to some of your Dev questions from September.

    Question: With the addition of Champions 2.0, will all the next new 3* and 4* characters already be able to Ascend or will they only be able to do so later?

    Answer: Current plan is for every character past Doctor Bong to be Ascendable at launch. Bong should be coming in with the next batch.

    Their original plan for ascension was to have them all done by the end of this month too wasn't it? While not perfect, they do seem to be making more progress with this than some other longterm plans, how long were we waiting to see any improvement to supports for example?
