Chor'gorloth is an Outsider in Clicker Heroes primarily responsible for significantly reducing the Hero Soul cost required to level up your Ancients, thereby streamlining your progression in the game.
The Role of Chor'gorloth
As an Outsider, Chor'gorloth is a special type of entity introduced after Transcendence in Clicker Heroes. Unlike Ancients, which reset after each Transcendence, Outsiders provide permanent, long-lasting benefits that persist across all Transcensions, making them crucial for late-game scaling and efficiency.
How Chor'gorloth Reduces Ancient Costs
Chor'gorloth's specific ability directly impacts the economic aspect of leveling your Ancients:
- Cost Multiplier: For every level you invest in Chor'gorloth, the Hero Soul cost to level all of your Ancients is multiplied by a factor of 0.95. This means that each level of Chor'gorloth effectively makes your Ancients 5% cheaper to upgrade from their base cost.
- Compounding Savings: This cost reduction is multiplicative. For example, at level 1, Ancients cost 95% of their original price. At level 2, they cost 95% of that already reduced price (0.95 * 0.95 = 0.9025 or 90.25% of the original cost), and so on. This compounding effect leads to substantial savings at higher Chor'gorloth levels.
- Enabling Higher Ancient Levels: By drastically cutting down the Hero Soul expenditure on Ancients, Chor'gorloth allows players to push their Ancient levels much higher than would otherwise be practical. This, in turn, translates into greater damage, gold, and overall efficiency, enabling deeper zone progression.
Synergy with Transcendent Power
Chor'gorloth's utility is greatly amplified when combined with Transcendent Power. Transcendent Power (TP) is a mechanic that provides a flat damage and gold bonus based on your total lifetime Hero Souls spent. Since Chor'gorloth makes Ancients much cheaper, it allows you to invest Hero Souls into them more efficiently. This means you can level your Ancients to extremely high levels with fewer Hero Souls, indirectly boosting the effectiveness of your Transcendent Power and facilitating rapid advancement through thousands of zones in Clicker Heroes. This powerful synergy is essential for optimizing late-game progress.
