Should I end the Grandmapocalypse?
The answer to whether you should end the Grandmapocalypse is not a simple yes or no, as it depends on your current Cookie Clicker strategy and goals, but generally, it is recommended to fully complete the Grandmapocalypse to reap the benefits of upgrades like Arcane Sugar. Ending the Grandmapocalypse at Phase 1 can be beneficial if you’re farming Golden Cookies, as you can still get Wrinkler benefits while having a high chance of getting Golden Cookies.
Understanding the Grandmapocalypse
To make an informed decision, it’s essential to understand the Grandmapocalypse and its effects on the game. The Grandmapocalypse is a game mechanic that introduces Wrinklers, which can seem like a hindrance at first but ultimately provide a significant boost to cookie production.
Benefits of Completing the Grandmapocalypse
Completing the Grandmapocalypse provides access to valuable upgrades, such as Arcane Sugar, which can significantly increase your cookies per second (CPS). Additionally, reaching Phase 3 allows you to earn Grandmapocalypse Achievements, which can indirectly boost your CPS through Milk and Kitten upgrades.
