Fallen Tear: The Ascension skill order
No official skill order. Ascension, hunter skills, and masteries are three tracks. One missing point is usually a quest or a stuck Fated Goal.
Ascension skills are Hira's origin kit. They sit next to hunter skills and masteries. Steam already has a thread titled Recommended ascension order? — that is the page you want, and there is still no official order.
The three related unlock tracks
| Track | Achievement | Snapshot 26 Sep 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Half of the Ascension skills | Rising Potential | 11.0% |
| All Ascension skills | Ascended Soul | 1.5% |
| All hunter skills | Skillful Adversary | 0.2% |
| All masteries | Master Tier | 0.5% |
Those are four different trees. Dumping every point into Ascension will not finish hunter skills.
Where the next point is
Players are posting "Need one ascension point, where's the best place to look?" and "Need 1 affinity point. Can't find the scholar." There is no official farm table. Until Winter Crew publishes one, the honest answer is:
- Finish the named hunt or Bond quest you already opened.
- Check Fated Goals — claiming is buggy in 1.0.1.
- Do not reset the save for one point unless a Goal is clearly stuck.
Map towers ("Kalamons Descendant — Unlock All of the Map Towers", 0.3%) look like the exploration backbone, not a point printer. We have not seen an official "tower = 1 skill point" line.
Elements are not the same tree
Fire, water, earth, and wind each have their own blessing achievement. Those are elemental unlocks, not Ascension ranks. See the combat page.
