The latest update in Empires & Puzzles Beta version 77, patch 2, introduces a new line of heroes that might just change the way we farm ascension materials. These are the Ascension Mimic heroes — a new evolution in the Mimic family, designed specifically for farming essential items needed to power up your top-tier heroes.

🧬 What Are Ascension Mimic Heroes?

Previously, Mimic heroes were known for helping players farm experience points. Now, five new Ascension Mimics are here, with their main function being the farming of ascension items.

Each Ascension Mimic hero is tied to a specific element and offers a chance to grant bonus ascension items upon completion of a Map or Quest stage. Here’s how they break down:

• Dark Ascension Mimic: Can provide Trap Tools and Royal Tabard

• Holy Ascension Mimic: Can provide Orb of Magic and Poison Darts

• Ice Ascension Mimic: Can provide Warm Cape and Farsight Telescope

• Nature Ascension Mimic: Can provide Sturdy Shield and Mysterious Tonic

• Fire Ascension Mimic: Can provide Hidden Blade and Mystic Rings

The bonus loot effect only triggers when these heroes are part of your team during the completion of a Map or Quest level. The higher the World Energy cost of the level, the greater your chances of receiving extra loot.

Additionally, to activate their special passive skill, Mimic Loot, each hero must be fully leveled.

🎮 How Well Do They Perform?

Ascension Mimics were tested across Campaign, Raid, and Titan modes. Here’s what was observed:

• Campaign Mode: This is where the Ascension Mimics truly shine. Their passive loot ability activates as long as they survive, and their presence can significantly increase your resource gains from farming stages.
• Raid Mode: While not the strongest in terms of combat, Ascension Mimics have decent survivability, making them viable in casual raid lineups. Their passive isn’t relevant here, but they can still support your team defensively.
• Titan Mode: These heroes aren’t built to deal huge damage to Titans, but they can hold their ground. They won’t be your top scorers, but if you’re farming Titan loot, they’re still useful.

🧠 Final Thoughts

Ascension Mimic heroes are clearly designed with a specific role in mind — helping players consistently farm much-needed ascension materials. In a game where access to these items can be rare and time-gated, this new hero class brings a welcomed boost to progression, especially for F2P and low-spender players.

With quests and chests offering limited ascension rewards, Ascension Mimics can bridge the gap and reduce the grind. Of course, a major question remains: will these heroes be hard to summon, and will they come at a premium cost?

As of now, there are no official details on availability or summon rates. But one thing is clear: Ascension Mimics bring real value to PvE farming teams. Whether you’re trying to level up 4-star or 5-star heroes, having a Mimic or two in your lineup could make all the difference.

Stay tuned for further updates as more information becomes available.
