Sacrifice Angels Or Not?

[Haigen]

I read somewhere in the forum that each angel investor increases the money needed to attract the next one. Is that true? If yes, is it worth to buy every time the upgrades that increase your income temporary (until next ascension/angel claim)? Does the, i like more to call it angel investment rather than sacrifice, decreases this cost for the next angel to attract?

Ok so sure your angels will scale up but your CPS scales too. Keep in mind what the upgrade does, for example the first angel upgrade will give 3X muliplier for 10,000 AI, while its not worth buying it the second you get 10,000 AI because now you spent more multiplier than what you bought (50 angels= Double CPS and every double of that afterwards) so here it would be best to buy when you have more than 15,000 AI but i dont recommend there since that means itll take awhile to get enough AI waiting to be collected to balace things out. But at 15,001 angels you will get profit from buying it. This is the sort of logic i use for everything in angel upgrades, someone add on if theres something i missed though since i just gave my logic behind when i should buy angel upgrades

I have read the FAQ, but It did not answer my question completely. Will the angel investiment substract the angels from my all time earned angels in the formula when calculating the money needed to attract the next angels? For example: i had 100k angels. I spent 50k of them on upgrades. The upgrades are temporary, as far as i know (last until next angel claim). Will it take the same amount of money to reach the 100k angels like in the first time?
If no, i guess i should buy the angel currency upgrades only when i plan a very long run.

It does not.
Every angel is unique and need it's own alltime money to be attracted. You can never re-earn the "same" angel, you always get a "new" one and need the higher alltime earnings for it. You always need more and more money.
In your example with 100k angels and spending 50k: Your next angel would be your number 50001 again but the overall number, which determines the money you need, is 100001.

To know when to buy which angel upgrade you want to make sure that a) you gain more from the upgrade then you lose from the sacrifice to increase your profit for that run to gain the angels back and b) to let the run be long enough after the purchase to gain the angels back and a lot more on top.
