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.

How Should I Save My Progress?
As you probably know, playing Clicker Heroes and reaching higher levels can take a lot of time. Since your progress is stored in your browser, it is possible for someone to clear the browser cache or uninstall the browser. Both of these actions will force players to lose all of their progress.
Fortunately, in Clicker Heroes you can save and load your progress using a special text file that is saved outside of your browser. The important thing to know is that in order to keep your saved file up to date, you should save it as frequently as possible. We like to make a new save file once a day. Remember: your save file only contains the progress you made when you made the save file.
