If you are playing ASTDX, you might have noticed that some units can’t level up past a certain point when you upgrade them while fighting waves of enemies. This usually means those characters need to be ascended or evolved in All Star Tower Defense X. So, if you are wondering how to do that and make your units stronger, learn how to ascend and evolve units in All Star Tower Defense X.
There are two types of leveling-up characters in ASTDX— Evolve and Ascend. Evolve works on specific 3-star or 4-star characters while Ascend is for high-tier units. Below is the simple process explaining how to ascend and evolve units in the game.
How to Ascend Units in All Star Tower Defense X
In ASTDX, some 5-star or higher characters can be ascended. To ascend a unit, first, select it from your load-outs. Now, click the Ascend button at the bottom. This will show the required materials for the ascension process.
Once you have the items, click on the gold amount button to spend all the materials and gold to ascend the character in All Star Tower Defense X. You will find the materials from specific NPC quests, challenges, evolutions, ASTDX codes, and story rewards.
How to Evolve Units in All Star Tower Defense X
If you are not lucky enough to pull 5-star units, don’t worry. Some 3-star and 4-star characters can still be evolved in ASTDX.
To begin, open your Units tab, select the character, and press the Evolve button. Just like ascension, evolving requires specific materials. Once you have everything needed, click the gold amount option to use your materials and gold to evolve the unit in All Star Tower Defense X.
