Ancient Power is a global passive bonus granted in Powers are obtained through the game's prestige system. In exchange for losing almost all progress through in the game, you gain a passive bonus that applies to all players in your game session. It is intended for end-game players who've exhausted all other methods of improving their characters (eg. obtained maximum gear, all the shards they need for their heroes, etc.).
Obtaining Ancient Power for the very first time requires the following conditions to be met:
* Beat [[Onslaught ]] floor 30* Reach [[Ascension ]] level 250
Each time you reset, the floor level requirement increases, but the ascension level requirement does not. If you take the time to increase your do not have a minimum ascension level as close as possible to of at least 250, additional resets you may need have to spend extra time farming experience before you can do another reset. The more minimum ascension you can get before your first reset, the easier it will be done much quickerto solo your way back up to your next target floor.
See the [[Ancient Power Calculations]] chart for more information about minimum starting floors, the minimum floor required to do your next reset, and how minimum ascension is calculated.
Once you are ready to do a reset, speak to the [[Mananode ]] in town.

* Your gold and EXP bonus will be raised by 5% (stacks with each reset).
* Your ascension talent caps will be increased up to a maximum of 999 for talents that originally capped at 140 (eg. The Hero Health's talent cap will be raised, but Hero Crit Chance will not).
* All items in your store will be placed into your inventory, or scavenger if your inventory is full.
* The minimum floor you can start on will increase, caps at 50.* The minimum floor you have to clear for your next reset will increase, caps at 80.

* All of your equipment (armor, weapons, relics) , '''excluding''' rings, will be set down to campaign level.
* All upgrades in all of your shards (including Hyper Shards) will be lost, unless the shard is gilded.
* All chaos difficulties above Chaos I ([[Expeditions]], [[Incursions]], and [[Mastery]]) will be locked until you meet the conditions to unlock them again.* Your ascention ascension will be reset down to the minimum ascention ascension level, as indicated in the Powers menu.

* Prestige Prestigious weapons that are granted every floor that is a multiple of 10 floors* [[Mananode Gifts]]
* Defender packs
