What Is “Ranking Up”?
In ChronosWorlds, every hero can increase their Rank — a permanent evolution that unlocks higher maximum levels and stronger base stats.
Ranking Up is different from Leveling Up:
- Leveling Up increases a hero’s stats temporarily until they reach their rank-based level cap.
- Ranking Up resets them to Level 1, but permanently raises their maximum level and overall power.
Rank Structure
Each rank defines the maximum level a hero can reach before ranking up again.
| Rank | Max Level |
|---|---|
| Rank 1 | Level 10 |
| Rank 2 | Level 20 |
| Rank 3 | Level 30 |
| Rank 4 | Level 40 |
| Rank 5 | Level 50 |
When a hero ranks up, they return to Level 1, but with improved base stats and a higher growth potential.
How Ranking Up Works
To rank up a hero:
- The hero must be at their maximum level for their current rank.
- You must sacrifice other heroes or chickens of the same rank as materials.
| Target Rank | Required Same-Rank Materials | Example Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Rank 2 | 1 | Level 10 Rank 1 hero + 1 Rank 1 material |
| Rank 3 | 2 | Level 20 Rank 2 hero + 2 Rank 2 materials |
| Rank 4 | 3 | Level 30 Rank 3 hero + 3 Rank 3 materials |
| Rank 5 | 4 | Level 40 Rank 4 hero + 4 Rank 4 materials |
After ranking up, your traveler resets to Level 1, keeping all unlocked skills but gaining improved base stats and a higher level cap.
Chickens
Chickens are special materials that act as universal rank-up substitutes — they replace a hero of the same rank.
Each chicken has its own rank:
- Rank 2 Chicken = one Rank 2 hero
- Rank 3 Chicken = one Rank 3 hero
- Rank 4 Chicken = one Rank 4 hero
…and so on. Chickens are one of the most valuable progression resources in the entire game.
Why Ranking Up Matters
Each new rank brings a clear power boost:
- Raises your hero’s maximum level.
- Increases base stats (HP, attack, defense, etc.).
- Visually evolves your traveler with additional stars.
Ranking Up is one of the core pillars of progression in ChronosWorlds — it’s where effort, strategy, and collection meet.
Example Progression Flow
| Step | Action | Requirement | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Level hero to 10 | — | Rank 1 → Rank 2 |
| 2 | Level to 20 | 1 × Rank 1 material | Rank 2 → Rank 3 |
| 3 | Level to 30 | 2 × Rank 2 materials | Rank 3 → Rank 4 |
| 4 | Level to 40 | 3 × Rank 3 materials | Rank 4 → Rank 5 |
Each Rank Up resets your hero to Level 1, but makes them significantly stronger overall.
Helpful Tips
- Save your chickens wisely — use lower-rank ones early, and higher-rank ones for later promotions.
- Focus on favorites — investing in a smaller core team is usually more efficient.
Summary
Ranking Up is how heroes evolve beyond their limits. Your traveler resets to Level 1 each time, but returns stronger, with higher stats and new potential.
Choose your heroes wisely — and use your chickens smartly — as you shape your team’s destiny across ChronosWorlds.
