Clicker Heroes Tips

Efficiency is the name of the game when it comes to Clicker Heroes. Continue reading to learn some basic tips and tricks that will help you play to the best of your abilities.

Upgrade and recruit heroes to defeat tougher monsters

In the early zones of the game, your goal should be to upgrade your heroes and recruit new ones that do more damage. Monsters get progressively stronger as you move through zones. Every five levels, you'll meet Bosses that will be even stronger, and must be defeated in under 30 seconds! If you can't beat a tough boss, keep grinding away at the highest monster you've unlocked to earn gold and buy more hero upgrades.

Spend your gold wisely

As you play, you’ll unlock even stronger heroes that cost more gold to hire and upgrade. Do the math to figure out which hero gives you the biggest increase in damage per gold spent.

Use your abilities strategically

As you level up your heroes, you'll unlock abilities that you can activate to make yourself much more powerful for a limited time. They each have their own cooldown timers, but they're most useful when you activate them all together!

Take a break and come back later

That’s the beauty of idle clicker games like this! If you feel like your progress is slowing down, or you’re not earning as much gold as you’d like, take a break. Your heroes will gather gold for you while you’re away, so walk away for a bit and come back to some hefty loot. 

Ascend when ready

When you unlock a certain hero, you’ll gain the ability to ascend. Once you ascend, you’ll earn some hero souls, which will unlock more opportunities and upgrades for your heroes.
