About Clicker Heroes

Clicker Heroes is the definitive idle game that popularized the genre. You start with nothing but a single click doing one point of damage, tapping away at weak monsters to collect small piles of gold. As you amass wealth, you begin hiring a cast of colorful heroes who fight automatically on your behalf. Before long, your damage output grows from single digits to completely absurd numbers like undecillions and beyond.

A typical run starts with active clicking to burst through early zones and bosses, but shifts to a passive idle experience as your heroes take over. Every zone features tougher enemies, culminating in a boss every five zones that must be defeated within a strict time limit. When your progress inevitably grinds to a halt, you can perform an Ascension to earn Hero Souls, resetting your run in exchange for permanent powerful upgrades.

Controls

  • Left Mouse Click: Deal damage to monsters, buy hero upgrades, and navigate menus.
  • Shift / Z / Ctrl: Hold these modifier keys while clicking a hero's level up button to buy 10, 25, or 100 levels at once.
  • Number Keys (1-9): Activate unlocked hero skills during difficult boss fights.

Tips

  • When you hit a wall against a tough boss, use the Farm Mode toggle to drop back one zone and safely gather gold offline.
  • Save your activated abilities for boss encounters. Stacking multiple skills like Clickstorm and Powersurge at the same time is the best way to break through a wall.
  • Ascension is critical for long-term progress. Your first Ascension should usually happen when you hit zone 130 or 140, netting you enough Hero Souls to buy your first Ancients.
  • Keep an eye out for random floating clickables on the screen. Clicking them provides a burst of gold or rubies, which can significantly speed up your run.

Clicker Heroes FAQ

How do you beat bosses in Clicker Heroes?
Every fifth zone contains a boss that must be defeated within 30 seconds. If you fail, the game drops you back a zone to farm more gold. To beat them, upgrade your highest-tier heroes and unleash all your active skills at once.
When is the best time to Ascend?
For your very first run, you should aim to Ascend around zone 130 or 140 once progress becomes incredibly slow. This usually guarantees a small but helpful starting pool of Hero Souls.
Does the game play itself when closed?
Yes, Clicker Heroes features offline progression. Your heroes will continue to farm gold in the highest unlocked non-boss zone while you are away.
