Simple question on ascending

As I understand it:
To ascend a character, I need that character to occupy 2 roster slots.

Once I ascend, does that still use 2 slots, or does that make one slot now empty?

This is ignoring all the details about how to qualify for ascension. Just a simple question on the outcome.

This is missing in the FAQ/summary.

The ascended character uses only one slot.

Thank you!

OK, tried that … please advise?

(hopefully obviously a very dumb joke, as i didn’t bother to “stretch” the other ascended chars…!)

I’m not gonna lie, that made me chuckle for way longer than it should have. :rofl:

I’ll add another simple question on Ascending. Did we ever figure out what level the Ascended 4 star to 5 star needs to be to not miss any future rewards for that 4 star later becoming a 5 star feeder?

I think it was around 473.
