Clicker Heroes is Playsaurus' idle game where you click a monster, hire heroes to do the clicking for you, and then wipe everything the moment resetting is faster than continuing. Progress is measured in zones, with a boss every fifth zone on a 30 second kill timer. The real game sits behind two reset buttons: Ancients bought with Hero Souls, and Outsiders bought with Ancient Souls.
Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.
Crafting Priority List
The order you should invest resources:
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary equipment | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your build's key combinations |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary equipment | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |

Upgrade Path
Early Game (Zone 100 to Zone 140)
- Upgrade your starting equipment to functional level
- Craft basic defensive gear
- Save specialty materials, since you'll need them later
- Focus on Libertas, Ancient of Freedom once accessible
Mid Game (Zone 200)
- Push Libertas, Ancient of Freedom to mid-level upgrades
- Start collecting materials for Siyalatas, Ancient of Abandon
- Craft situational consumables for boss fights
- Upgrade build-specific gear pieces
Late Game (Zone 500 to Zone 1000)
- Max out Siyalatas, Ancient of Abandon. This is your top priority
- Complete your build's core gear set
- Craft endgame consumables
- Optional: upgrade secondary equipment for variety
Crafting Mistakes to Avoid
- Spreading upgrades across multiple equipment: Focus one weapon to max before diversifying.
- Hoarding materials: Use them. The game provides enough if you farm efficiently.
- Upgrading the wrong gear: Check our builds guide before investing.
- Ignoring Zone 200 farming: This area has the best resource-to-time ratio in mid-game.
- Crafting consumables too early: Save specialty materials for late-game recipes.
Resource Efficiency Tips
- Keep Siyalatas and Libertas within one level of each other. The idle pair is designed to be levelled together and pushing one far ahead wastes souls that would return more on the other.
- Farm Zone 200 during mid-game for the best return on time
- Check the walkthrough to know when each resource becomes available
- Match your farming route to your build. Some classes farm faster in certain areas
