About Clicker Heroes
Clicker Heroes is an idle clicker game where players tap enemies to generate gold and damage. The game emphasizes massive numbers, with damage per second reaching quadrillions as players progress through endless zones.

01 / THE GUIDE
Core Gameplay
Players click monsters to deal damage and earn gold. Gold is used to hire and upgrade heroes, which continue dealing damage even when the player is idle. Each click and hero attack contributes to a growing damage per second total.
The game presents endless waves of enemies across multiple zones, each with tougher monsters and bosses. Gold from defeated foes accumulates whether the player is actively clicking or away.
- Focus on early clicks to build a gold reserve for hiring the first heroes.
- Let heroes run while you are away to maximize offline gold.
02 / THE GUIDE
Heroes and Upgrades
The roster includes 35 distinct heroes such as Athena and King Midas, each offering unique powers that increase damage. Players can spend gold to recruit and level up these heroes, enhancing their effectiveness.
Upgrading heroes unlocks abilities that further boost damage output, allowing players to tackle stronger enemies and increase overall DPS.
- Prioritize heroes with abilities that multiply damage for faster progression.
- Balance spending between new hero recruitment and upgrading existing ones.

Progression and Zones
The game is divided into zones, each containing tougher monsters and a boss. Advancing to new zones requires higher damage to defeat enemies efficiently.
Bosses provide larger gold rewards, encouraging players to increase DPS before attempting them.
- Upgrade heroes before entering a new zone to avoid slow progress.
- Use the boss reward gold to fund the next wave of hero upgrades.
04 / THE GUIDE
Ascension System
Ascension resets the current run, converting all progress into Hero Souls, a permanent currency that boosts future runs. This reset is called a “big reset” and provides lasting power increases.
After Ascension, players start again with stronger baseline damage, allowing them to defeat previously challenging bosses more easily.
- Ascend after accumulating a substantial amount of gold for maximum Hero Souls.
- Use Hero Souls to purchase permanent upgrades before the next run.
