No, the point of the ascension mechanic is that it gets harder and harder so that you need to play more and more optimally to have a chance at winning, there aren’t any benefits past ascension 1. If you aren’t the sort of person who wants a harder challenge just for the sake of challenging yourself, then there’s no point yeah.

The game is actually balanced at A5, so I usually recommend people to play there.
