The Basics of Clicker Heroes

The goal of Clicker Heroes is to optimize the speed at which yous progress through zones. Each zone has a monster with a certain amount of wellness, and you will have to kill a certain amount of monsters to advance to the side by side zone. Every 5 zones, there is a Boss with 10x the health of a normal monster (which increases with zone count, and tin can be decreased with Bubos, Ancient of Diseases). On a Boss zone, there is a timer, and you will have to kill the Boss monster within the given fourth dimension or you will fail the zone. Because of this, it is important to maximize your damage early on on so y'all tin pass through zones quickly. (Later on in the game, the focus will shift, but for now, maximizing DPS is your goal.)

This guide volition teach you the fastest way to get to Zone 300.

Optimal Hero Leveling

By clicking on the monsters with your mouse and gaining 5 coins, the showtime hero you hire is Cid, the Helpful Adventurer. She will assistance upgrade your click damage, making it easier for your to progress through the zones. Once you become her to level 10, you tin get her first upgrade, which is called Big Clicks and will double her click damage.

This is Cid'due south starting time upgrade, *Large Clicks*

Now when you get enough gilt to rent Treebeast, do so. He will deal damage over time, called DPS (impairment per second). This kind of damage is different from click damage, as you won't need to click for him to practice damage because he volition damage the monsters himself. Level him up to level 10, and buy his first upgrade, called Fertilizer, which will double his DPS. Note that each level requires more than and more aureate to level upward a hero. This is because every level requires about i.07× as much gold to level up, while the harm increase is linear until level 200. This is why it is non optimal to focus all of your gold into one hero, at least not yet.

You lot will then earn enough aureate to hire Ivan, the Drunken Brawler, and then level him upwards. You'll want to get him to level 10, where yous will be able to buy his first upgrade, Hard Cider. You lot volition then hire Brittany, Beach Princess, level her upward to level 10, and buy her first upgrade. You will do the same with The Wandering Fisherman, levelling him up to level 10, buying his first upgrade. Now level upwardly Cid, the Helpful Charlatan to level 25, and purchase her second upgrade, Clickstorm. This upgrade is a skill, which can be used to click on monsters automatically. Information technology is brash to utilize this skill when your progress has stopped. Then hire Betty Clicker. You'll become Betty to level ten, merely instead of buying her first upgrade, you volition move on and hire The Masked Samurai. Level him to level 10, as usual, and buy his first upgrade.

Equally a general rule, you should get the upgrade on one hero, then motility on to the next. The steps below are not necessary, but they are slightly more optimal.

Here are the side by side steps:

Level Treebeast to level 100, and purchase his terminal upgrade only.
Level Ivan, the Drunken Brawler upward to level 100, and buy his fourth and 5th upgrades.
Hire Leon, level him up to level 10, and buy his first upgrade.

This is how you will play for a while, until a certain betoken. Annotation that the next hero, Dread Knight, will not accept to be hired. He is too expensive to hire in your first ascension, and most likely even your first Transcension.

Primal Bosses

You may have noticed that every 5 zones, there is a dominate, who is nigh 10 times equally stiff as a normal monster, and requires you to defeat it in 30.0 seconds or less. By Zone 100, every dominate has a chance to be Primal. These bosses, upon being killed, will grant you lot Hero Souls, which can be acquired upon Ascending. You will non gain Hero Souls immediately after beating a boss(with the exception of Omeet, the Zone 100 dominate, who grants you 1 Hero Soul upon death the first fourth dimension yous kill him).

The corporeality of Hero Souls gained from killing a Primal Dominate can be increased with the Outsider Ponyboy, however y'all take non unlocked this all the same. It can besides be increased with Transcendent Ability, merely that has not been unlocked.

When To Ascend

Normally, it is advised to Ascend after you lot start failing bosses consistently. This is the about efficient path. Notwithstanding, if you take not reached Zone 130, practice non ascend. This is because the bosses on zones 100, 110, 120, and 130 are ever Primal Bosses. Once yous ascend for the first fourth dimension, ascend when you neglect to kill a dominate past zone 130.

How to Ascend

To ascend, level Amenhotep to level 150 and buy his last upgrade, ASCENSION. Make certain to beat zone 130 before you lot ascend, this is because zones 110, 120, and 130 are guaranteed primal bosses. When you ascend, you will restart dorsum at zone one, and you'll have to buy your heroes once again. You'll proceed your rubies, your achievements, your ancients, your relics, your clans, and your mercenaries. The difference is that you lot will have earned Hero Souls, each of which gives an additive x% bonus to your base DPS. They will aid brand you stronger in lodge to progress fifty-fifty farther into the zones. One time you earn enough Hero Souls, you'll be able to pass zone 130, 135, 140, and so on, until y'all achieve zone 300. One time you attain this, transcend. Ancient Souls volition help you dramatically speed upward your progress.

Idle/Active/Hybrid

You may have noticed, that with the ancients Siyalatas, Libertas, or Nogardnit, you lot may occasionally run into a text next to your DPS reading (idle). Idle is activated there has not been a click on a monster in 60 seconds. (Clicking one time in a flow of 5 minutes will not deactivate idle). During idle, all idle boosts will be activated.

With the Aboriginal Juggernaut, you may see a text next to your DPS reading (Philharmonic [number]ten). This is the amount of times you have clicked within the last 4 minutes and 40 seconds. This number is multiplied by your Juggernaut level, and multiples your DPS. Subsequently 4 minutes and xl seconds (280 seconds) your combo will begin to drop 5% every 2nd.

Idle ways to have the (idle) status equally much every bit possible, and to use those buffs to boost progression.

Agile means to accept the various DPS and click boosting upgrades and Ancients, using clicks to bargain damage rather than DPS.

Hybrid is a mixture of both that utilizes parts of both builds to maximize progression speed, such as Timelapses.

Picking a Build

Yous demand to choose what type of playing manner yous volition have, Idle, Agile or a Hybrid of both.

Nigh players volition want to option Idle as a preferred showtime. Idle doesn't require you to expect at the game as much as Active does. However, those who are trying to speedrun or that take a lot of time to burn down may want to option Active as it is a bit faster overall.

In the newest version of the game idle softcaps at 180K, meaning you cannot go meaningfully farther, while Active and Hybrid cap at v.46 meg. Additionally, you lot progress through zones faster with active, so once y'all go 2 autoclickers, transition to active upon transcending if yous have played Idle beforehand.

Ancients

If a player decides they want to play the Idle playstyle, information technology is recommended to summon Siyalatas, Libertas, Mammon and Mimzee. Level them yet and go along unspent Hero Souls equal to (Siyalatas Level + i)^2.

If a actor decides they want to play Active playstyle, it is recommended to summon Juggernaut, Mammon, and Mimzee. Level all of them the same and keep unspent Hero Souls equal to (Juggernaut level + i)^(5/two).

Don't worry about any other ancients until you transcend at zone 300.

Rubies

Rubies are the premium currency of Clicker Heroes. They tin be bought with coin, but can as well be collected from Clans, Mercenaries, or Clickables.

The first matter you should buy with Rubies are two Car Clickers. If running an active playstyle, they will aid you to click while still offline. If running an idle playstyle, they will help you increment your damage via the aboriginal Nogardnit.

Adjacent, y'all can buy the permanent x2 damage multiple, merely this is optional.

Continue to buy Machine Clickers until y'all have 5 of them. Do not purchase more.

Subsequently that, save for Timelapses and Quick Ascensions, which volition exist useful later on on in the game. Do not employ them correct at present.

Practice not purchase Relics or Gilds. Relics exercise not give a strong heave, and Gilds tin can be earned from Zone Progression.

Relics

Relics can be accessed past the 5th tab. Starting from the first ascension, there is a chance of a Relic Ooze spawning on any zone, which gives you a random relic. A relic gives buffs to random Ancients.

Information technology is recommended to equip relics for ancients such as Kumawakamaru, that are plush merely still give a useful heave to progression. Ancients that aren't these such as Fragsworth, Siyalatas, Argaiv, shouldn't be equipped unless you lot haven't transcended, or in your outset couple transcensions because very rapidly, the relics won't really boost them and will display only 0% for that specific ancient.

Later on in the game, the only relics you will want to equip are the relics boosting skill durations, merely this is not the case for you right now.

Clans

Clans are a mechanic unlockable upon reaching Zone 50. The game will prompt you to create a nickname which will be displayed to other members of your association, and will prompt you to pick a grade. (Selection any form that seems good to you, every bit no class has special abilities).

Yous can create a association for l Rubies, however, information technology is non advised to do that correct at present as y'all practise not take a lot of rubies. You lot can use the random generator to find a association, all the same the system is unreliable and will transport y'all to inactive clans most of the time. It is brash to apply tools similar the Clicker Heroes Clan Recruitment Subreddit, or the #clan-recruitment aqueduct in the Clicker Heroes Official Discord.

The first notable affair virtually a clan is the Clan Chatroom, which allows members to communicate with other members.

The 2nd tab, marked with an eye symbol, is the Immortals tab. Every day, members can assault the Immortal, which will accept a certain weakness(Physical, Mage, or Holy). Upon defeating the Immortal, you volition be rewarded with Immortal Souls and Rubies which can exist claimed in the Reward Box right beneath the Immortal level. Immortal Souls can exist used to level up. Every time you level up you gain x3 the damage.

The third tab, marked with a skull, is the Legacy Raids tab. This Immortal tin can be killed multiple times, and will reward y'all with x% the souls yous have right now. It's not very significant, so you can assault it if you want, simply don't worry also much about it.

The fourth tab, marked with a gear, will give the options to Respec Class or Leave Clan. It is never recommended to Respec Form, as the vitrify gained from a weakness is not equally significant equally the harm buff gained from a level. Y'all may leave the clan if you feel like information technology is not for you.

Clan leaders will have a fifth tab, where than tin promote others to clan leader or boot somebody out of the association, if they are inactive or calumniating.

Mercenaries

Mercenaries are a mechanic unlocked when you first Ascend. Mercenaries tin keep a plethora of different quests, ranging from 5 minutes to two days, and can quest for Skill Activations, Aureate, Relics, or Rubies. Sometimes, you tin quest for new Mercenaries, merely the maximum limit is 5.

With your starting time Mercenary, transport it on a quest for another. Echo this process until you have 5 Mercenaries, as there volition always be a recruitment quest if you do not have 5 Mercenaries. Do not e'er purchase Mercenaries with Rubies.

Upon reaching v Mercenaries, you should follow the standard quest order. Rubies are the most valuable quests. The rule of thumb listed below will exist based on that.

Rule Of Thumb(nigh value to least value): 4h cherry > 2h reddish > 1h ruby > 30m carmine > 15m ruddy > 8h ruby > 5m cherry-red > 5m-4h not-blood-red > 24h ruby > 8h-24h non-ruby > 48h ruby > 48h not-cherry-red

This volition alter a footling bit if your Mercenaries are high enough level, but you shouldn't worry about that now.

Gilding

Gilding is a mechanic unlocked at Zone 110, where yous get your start gild. If you have already seen the standard gilding chart, don't worry well-nigh it, equally you lot take not yet transcended. Instead, follow the Power Five rule of pollex. Upon Transcending, follow the gilding chart listed higher up, or the one listed in General Tips.

The Ability Five

Visit Power Five for a more in-depth introduction on these heroes.

Upon Ascending for the first few times, you should start using the Power Five. These Heroes are Treebeast, Ivan, the Drunken Brawler, Brittany, Embankment Princess, The Masked Samurai, and The Great Forest Seer. These heroes have great cost/DPS ratios and thus are advised earlier Transcending.

Check which of the Power Five can be leveled to one thousand. Plug the equation one.07^(1000)*[startingCost] into a calculator and bank check if your current gilt is that value.
Bank check which of those heroes have the about gilds.
Level that hero every bit much as possible, preferably with by pressing Z (x25).

Achievements

For now, don't worry well-nigh achievements. Few of them offer rewards, and those that practise are non worth it.

Transcension

When you lot beat Zone 160, the Transcension tab will unlock, all the same yous can't practice annihilation with it until you trounce Zone 300. Immediately afterward beating Zone 300, Transcend and follow the Outsider Calculator.
