About Darkblade Ascent

Random weapons and stage rewards shape each run. Each stage offers three upgrade options, but only one can be taken; class talent trees support physical builds or elemental effects such as lightning that makes enemies vulnerable to melee attacks. Fire builds emphasize area attacks and burning, while frost adds chill and freeze effects.
