A Grounded Ascent is Sunday's signature Light Cone and an excellent choice for characters specializing in supporting Hypercarry setups. Sunday himself, Sparkle, or Bronya are prime examples of such characters and are naturally great candidates for this Light Cone.
Its effect is particularly interesting. When the wearer uses their Basic or Ultimate Skill on an ally, they recover a small amount of energy and apply marks to the target of the skill. These marks significantly boost the target's damage output and can stack up to three times.
But there’s more. The Light Cone also helps generate Basic Skill points, as every two marks applied grant the team one of these valuable points (and you already know how crucial these points are).
Overall, A Grounded Ascent bears some similarities to But the Battle Isn’t Over (Bronya’s Light Cone), though in my opinion, A Grounded Ascent edges out slightly as the better option.
