Unlocking Ascension level 9 requires both Azure Hearts and Evolution Fragments. Naturally, many players are seeking out how to get these rare items in Sailor Piece. So, I’ve compiled both items and how to obtain them in this guide.

Sailor Piece Azure Hearts

Azure Hearts are a necessary item to collect when it comes to increasing your Ascension to level 9. For this, you need a total of 2 Azure Hearts; however, that’s not all. To reach Ascension level 9, you must meet the following requirements:

  • 2x Azure Hearts
  • 2x Evolution Fragments
    • Find out how to get this item at the bottom of this guide
  • Defeat 700 bosses
  • Defeat 1.5K NPCs
  • Reach level 11,500
  • Use abilities 1.5K times in total
  • Deal a total of 1 trillion DMG
  • Complete 15 boss rushes on Medium difficulty or higher

How to Get Azure Hearts

Azure Hearts are a Mythical rarity item and have a 0.5% chance to drop from the Vergil boss (also known as Yamato). Vergil spawns every 6 minutes and 30 seconds on Judgement Island and has a total of 850 million HP.

As well as the Azure Heart, Vergil can also drop:

  • Imperial Outfit
    • 0.9% drop chance
  • Blade Sovereign (Title)
    • 1.2% drop chance
  • Silent Storm
    • 1.15% drop chance
  • Yamato Essence
    • 2.5% drop chance
  • Frozen Will
    • 4.25% drop chance
  • Dungeon Key
    • 80% drop chance
  • Boss Tickets
    • 70% drop chance
  • Trait Reroll
    • 100% drop chance
  • Race Reroll
    • 100% drop chance

To increase your chances of getting Azure Hearts, you should focus on boosting your Luck stat. You can do this easily by following my Sailor Piece Luck Build guide.

Evolution Fragments

Evolution Fragments are also a required item when unlocking Ascension level 9. Referencing the list above, you need a total of 2 Evolution Fragments.

How to Get Evolution Fragments

Obtaining Evolution Fragments requires you to defeat the True Aizen boss. They have a 0.4% to 0.75% chance of dropping upon defeat and are a Mythical rarity item, hence the extremely low drop rate.

The True Aizen boss is a little more difficult to spawn, as you need Chrysalis Sigils. This Legendary rarity item drops from Quincy mobs at Soul Society, who are around level 10,750.

Once you have the requirements, you can head to Soul Society to speak with the True Aizen Summoner NPC. If you can’t teleport here yet, this location is unlocked by completing the Hogyoku quest.

Depending on the difficulty level, anything higher than Easy requires additional Chrysalis Sigils.

  • Easy
    • 1x Chrysalis Sigil
  • Medium
    • 2x Chrysalis Sigils
  • Hard
    • 3x Chrysalis Sigils
  • Extreme
    • 4x Chrysalis Sigils

True Aizen can also drop:

  • Transcendent Being (Title)
    • 0.75% to 1.35% drop chance
  • Transcendent Core
    • 0.8% to 1.25% drop chance
  • Manipulator Outfit
    • 0.85% to 1.4% drop chance
  • Divinity Essence
    • 3.25% to 5% drop chance
  • Fusion Ring
    • 9.5% to 15% drop chance

Ascension Level 9

Once you fulfil all requirements for this Ascension level, you unlock further stacking passives, increasing your Luck by another 5%, the amount of Gems you earn by 10%, and the amount of Coins you get by 10%, too.

At this level, the Luck buff provided is +45%, and you earn 90% more Gems and Coins. After this level, there’s one more to unlock, which grants significantly higher stat buffs, but doesn’t require either Azure Hearts of Evolution Fragments.
