In ascension > 0, there are three keys you can collect through the run by choosing them in lieu of other rewards. If you get them all, there's an abbreviated Act IV to play: a hearth, then a shop, then a special elite, then the Heart. The Heart is much, much more difficult than the Act III bosses.

You don't need Ascension, just to have unlocked Ascension. With that said, I swear it's easier to beat the heart on A1 than A0 because of all the elite rewards.
The heart itself, well it's definitely challenging, but it only works for very specific builds. I went to some effort to beat it once on each character and basically have no intention of doing so again.

A1 is generally easier than A0 for exactly that reason.
If you want a meme deck, A1 is the sweet-spot.

Interesting. Is there an incentive to go that route beyond just saying you managed to do it? Not that I need more than that, just curious.

There’s an achievement (per character), as well as it being the « true end » of the game (and it increases the challenge as you need to beat a buffed elite, sacrifice a chest and sacrifice a hearth).
