Ascendancy Classes

The Ascendancy system represents the pinnacle of specialization within Path of Exile, allowing players to transcend their base class limitations. Each class has access to an Ascendancy class, which grants much stronger, specialized bonuses. Each class has three Ascendancy classes to choose from, except for the Scion, who only has two ascendancy classes: the Ascendant, which combines the elements of all other Ascendancy classes, and the Reliquarian, which integrates the effects of various unique items, with available options changing in each new challenge league. Up to 8 Ascendancy skill points can be assigned out of 12 or 14. As of patch 3.27.0 Keepers of the Flame, Bloodline Ascendancy classes were added which can be paired as a secondary class.
