Unlock Ascension orders or earn duel gifts
Unlock Ascension in Stock Order at shop level 70, then pay the $10,000 license for its 32-pack restock. You can also receive Ascension packs as gifts for winning Tetramon duels at lower shop levels.
Choose your route to Ascension packs
Ascension arrived in version 1.0, with a purchasing route through Stock Order and a gift route through winning duels. The separately licensed 64-pack restock appears at shop level 85. Build 1.02 increased the chance of an Ascension gift after a duel win at lower shop levels, while leaving the Stock Order unlock level unchanged.
| Route | Requirement | What you can obtain |
|---|---|---|
| Stock Order: 32-pack restock | Shop level 70 and the $10,000 license | Purchase Ascension packs through Stock Order. |
| Stock Order: 64-pack restock | Shop level 85 and a separate license | Purchase the larger Ascension restock. |
| Tetramon duel gifts | Win Tetramon duels for a chance of a gift pack. | Ascension packs can be awarded at lower shop levels. |
Choose the route that fits your shop's progress. If Stock Order is still locked, work on duels while continuing to grow the shop. Once purchasing becomes available, decide how much stock you want to open for your collection.
Start dueling for Ascension gifts
- Reach shop level 7 to unlock the Workbench and access the playable Tetramon card game.
- Read the rulebook at the Workbench to learn how the card game works.
- Create or edit your 50-card deck at the Workbench to prepare for a duel.
- Approach a lone customer waiting at a play table and press RMB or the gamepad right face button to join the match.
- Win Tetramon duels for a chance to receive an Ascension pack as a gift.
- Open the Ascension packs you receive to reveal cards for your collection.
Treat duel gifts as a chance to start collecting while your shop progresses. Winning gives you a chance at an Ascension pack, so plan around the possibility of a reward. Use the Workbench rulebook whenever you need to revisit how to play.
Every Ascension print type and finish
Ascension contains 1,452 collectible prints built from 121 Tetramon identities, six print types and two finishes. Each identity has 12 prints across Base, First Edition, Silver, Gold, EX and Full Art, with Normal and Foil versions of each. The collection adds illustrated artwork and collectible variants rather than 1,452 new playable Tetramon identities.
| Print type | Finishes | How to collect |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Normal and Foil | Open Ascension packs obtained through Stock Order or duel gifts. |
| First Edition | Normal and Foil | Open Ascension packs obtained through Stock Order or duel gifts. |
| Silver | Normal and Foil | Open Ascension packs obtained through Stock Order or duel gifts. |
| Gold | Normal and Foil | Open Ascension packs obtained through Stock Order or duel gifts. |
| EX | Normal and Foil | Open Ascension packs obtained through Stock Order or duel gifts. |
| Full Art | Normal and Foil | Open Ascension packs obtained through Stock Order or duel gifts. |
Track the print type and finish alongside the Tetramon identity when checking your collection. A Normal print and its Foil counterpart are distinct collectible variants. If you want full completion, use those distinctions to decide which gaps you are still chasing.
Keep Ascension, Destiny and Ghost progress separate
| Collection or outcome | What it represents | How to track Ascension progress |
|---|---|---|
| Ascension | Its own artwork set with 1,452 prints across 121 playable Tetramon identities. | Track the missing Ascension prints themselves. |
| Destiny | A separate 1,452-print collection using the same underlying 121 playable identities. | Keep Destiny completion separate from Ascension. |
| Ghost | A separate rare-pull category. | A Ghost pull does not replace a missing Ascension print. |
| God Pack outcome | An outcome that does not substitute for a missing Ascension print. | Continue checking the Ascension collection for its own gaps. |
Pick the collection you want to finish before deciding what to chase next. Ascension and Destiny share underlying Tetramon identities, but their artwork collections remain separate. A Ghost pull or God Pack outcome does not substitute for an Ascension print you still need.
