    I'll admit to not reading everything about Ascended characters, so was it a readily known thing that if you ascend a character (Jubs in this case) you do not seem to get the rewards from the non-ascended version if there is a change/adjustment.

    The level of retro rewards depends on the level of the ascended character I believe, so it doesn't quite map correctly until you get to something like level 460 for the ascended characters. Someone with a better memory (or any records) will be able to give specific details.

    I have an ascended 4* Jubilee and was just granted 1800 shards (no covers) and 1400 Phoenix shards. Does this seem correct?

    Also 4* Human Torch (jim hammond) has a power that will destroy all friendly repeater tiles for 8 red if you are interested in that kind of thing and perhaps forgot he existed.

    This is how they are processing the "retro ascended" rewards. I think it will be like this for a week, then after a week's time the champ rewards for Ascended Jubilee will revert to what it was before

    This is not a great solution for retro rewards. Because I ascended mine to 452 I get 3 covers, had I not ascended I’d have 6 covers, and if I’d max-max’d her right now I would have 21 covers…

    Is this right? My Jubilee is 452 and I got the same as TRW. So in order for me to get what I would have gotten for a max plus 280 dupe, I have to get to 460 (about 30 odd covers) IN 1 WEEK?!

    That is some deadline.

    Yeah, ascension's a bit of a lottery. In this scenario you lose if you ascend before you get the dupe to about 290 at which point you start to get better rewards as a result. I've started to wait for that level unless I use them relatively routinely.

    They never announced how they'd do this. I think it started with Moondragon, who very few people had ascended.

    Now that Jubilee is live, do we know how many tiles get destroyed when she is downed?

    Also, reward-related question. If you get retro rewards, then ascend, within the one-week window will they double dip you retro rewards for the ascended character?

    the ascended retro rewards are just the 5* version's champ rewards. So if you were to wait and ascend right now, you'd have gotten whatever pre-ascension 4* retro rewards you would have earned and then you'd get these champ rewards. So had I ascended to 450 rather than 452, I would presumably have gotten 0 retro covers here. I'm not like pitchforks and torches mad, demanding a rollback or whatever, I would just prefer we not do it this way going forward.

    I have put in a ticket to CS and we will see what they say.

    Putting this one week deadline in a stealth change is not acceptable to me.

    Was it stealth? It was announced by sokun a while back. There was announcement and everything

    This is the only thread on the topic I have been able to find from back in Feb. It does not outline this solution. https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/89850/ascended-retro-rewards-policy/p2

    Yes that was the one. I agree the message could be clearer but in my situation I recieved the rewards correctly so I did not have an issue.

    For my 475 jubilee, I got 2 covers and 5000 shards, which was correct. I did not check the level breakdown of when covers and shards were awarded. I was aware that was an issue.

    They’re teaching us not to ascend anyone who isn’t max-max with this reward table.

    and not to do it until the new character goes live at that. But here Jubilee was already a feeder, so it would have seemed safe anyway.
