surmounted
Rose above it
Surmounted means overcame or got past something difficult: She surmounted every obstacle in her path.
The word carries a sense of rising above—literally climbing over or standing atop something: A golden eagle surmounted the flagpole.
In heraldry, one charge surmounted by another has the second placed on top of it.
