To ascend or not to (Clicker heroes)

[victor11 1]

 

So I’ve finally leveled up my Amenhotep hero to 150 and have bought the ascension upgrade as well. I’m at zone 100 currently and was wondering whether I should ascend rn or wait for a bit longer? 

Also, Ideally, how many hero souls do you aim for in your first ascension? I’ve leveled up my lower level heroes pretty decent to get more hero souls but having a second thought of reaching around zone 130 and level them even more.  Ugh!! I’m confused and desperate to ascend at the same time.

Oh it's been years since I played that game and according to Steam, I have almost 500 hours in that game... Makes me wonder what has changed.

I hardly remember how exactly things went there, but I vaguely recall, that I've been waiting until getting stuck. I've been pushing as far as I could and when it was hard to make progress, I ascended - and I recall the start was somewhat slow. Not sure if things look the same now, but I guess that's all I can tell, heh.

I miss these times...

Wow, 500 hours, you’re definitely an experienced player. I’ve just started the game like 2 months back (or even less). From your description it looks like nothing much has changed. Things are quite similar even now, you just play for a few levels, get stuck after a point and then just keep ascending over and over again.

I’ve been playing it for more than a year, and can assure it's all the same. The game is as stupid and addictive as it was…..I just can’t quit playing it man. Why do you wanna play it, just leave and find yourself something else please.

It's been only 2 months for me and I can relate how addictive this game is, Fine Fine, I might quit it in a few weeks though, I’d rather play a game that at least has an end but seriously can I find an end!

Let’s see if you’re able to quit it, I hope you do. Btw coming back to your question. I don’t think you should ascend right away at 100. I mean everybody has a different opinion on when to ascend first, some might say do it when you stop insta-killing whereas a lot of people have specific zones where they prefer to ascend.

I see, what do you prefer though? Any specific zone or after you’re no longer insta-killing?

 For the first ascension, I’d suggest you to do it somewhere around 130-140 zone. You can do it early as well if you get stuck, but these levels are the most optimal ones. You see, its almost impossible to go past 140 zone without ascending multiple times. Regarding the insta-killing, I find it really stupid. I mean if you’re not insta-killing and just ascend very early, you’ll leave a lot of hero souls on the table that you might have got.

Makes sense, guess I’ll wait for a few more zones before I ascend. Also, once you ascend, what do you do to speed up again? Do you buy a lot of auto clickers? If yes, buying how may of them is worth it?

[nox1399 2]

 

Yes I do save rubies for auto clickers, they’re one of the best upgrades you can get honestly. However, if I’m being honest, I’ve even used third-party auto clickers in the past. They tend to give wayyyyyyy more CPS than the in-game ones.

Oh, niceee. I tried a third-party one few weeks ago, but it started asking me to pay after some time and paying for a tool is the last thing I have money for.

[nox1399 2]

Oh god, thank goodness, that you didn’t pay for it. I’ve been using this free tool and never had any issues. You can try it out. But seriously, before consulting and searching don’t pay for any tools, I have seen that there is always a free alternative for almost everything in gaming.

[victor11 1]

Just used it for a while and dude it's even better than the paid one honestly. Thanks man, I just hope they don’t make it paid after some time lol. Let me use it to my advantage then.

I see, well that's disappointing. One would think they'd add some stuff after all these years, I believe the Cookie Clicker was getting new features once in a while, but haven't played that one in years either.

It is addicting, that's true, that's how these games work. I got really bored of it and stopped playing at some point, never visited again and not having plans to do so. The good part is that one can always just run the game in background and still make progress I guess.

Yeah, I remember using autoclicking software myself back then, it's much faster than idling.
