Description

Late in a prestige run, essence accumulates into the trillions with no meaningful use. Early-game essence upgrades are purchased quickly, leaving the resource feeling inert for the majority of a run. This reduces the significance of essence as a core resource.

Expected Behaviour

Introduce one or more high-cost essence sinks to give the resource ongoing relevance. Possible approaches:

An adventurer tier purchasable with essence rather than gold
A prestige or transcendence upgrade priced in essence
Repeatable essence-only upgrades that provide incremental bonuses
