Path of Exile 2's Ever-Expanding Class Ascendancies

Author : Michael Update:Jan 23,2025

Unlocking Ascendancy Classes in Path of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2's Early Access allows players to enhance their chosen class with Ascendancies, offering specialized abilities and a unique gameplay experience. While not subclasses in the traditional sense, Ascendancies add a layer of depth and customization.

To unlock Ascendancies, players must first complete a Trial of Ascendancy. Currently, the Act 2 Trial of the Sekhemas and the Act 3 Trial of Chaos are available. Completing either trial rewards you with two passive Ascendancy Points and unlocks the ability to select an Ascendancy Class. The earlier Act 2 trial is recommended for quicker access to enhanced abilities.

Currently, six base classes are available, each with two Ascendancy options. The full game will feature twelve base classes, likely introducing more Ascendancies.

Mercenary Ascendancies

The Mercenary class offers two distinct Ascendancy paths:

Witch Hunter
