Idle Heroes

I came across this game while i was reviewing "clicker" games on play store. I never heard about it before, even though it has a working PC version for a few years now. Nevertheless I downloaded the game and tried it after few days. It absolutely blew my mind.. This game is so engaging that I don’t really know whether to recommend it to you or not. I was litteraly getting up at 5AM to finish events at one point :D

Geting the game

There are two versions of this game. One is official app from developers, which you can download in the Google Playstore for free. The other is so called "Private server", which can be found on reddit and some forums. I dont’ recommend downloading it from other source than the official private server reddit page.

Official server vs. Private server

Most of my time I have played on the official server. That said, both have some advantages and disadvantages, but the main reason people go for the private server is the insane amount of money you have to spend in order to get to the top. The game is monetized very well and it is important to support the devs when they make something good, but sometimes there is no other way. For example, you have limited amount of slots for summoned heroes and to expand this number for currency you make in game is nearly impossible. As you progress further in the game, you need more and more slots to improve, so you are bound to either stop playing or invest lots and lots of money. This will never happen on the private server as you have 600 slots from the start.

The overall progression is a little bit faster and you have access to the "Seasional server" which is one of the main attractions on the private server. Its a separate server that resets every month and depending on your possition on the ladder, you get huge rewards to your main server, further boosting you on you way to the top.

Recommended minimum to invest

If you decided to play on the official server and you already like the game, you might as well optimize your spendings to the maximum. There is a VIP system implemented in the game. You get XP for money spent and the bigger level you are the more benefits get. My recommendation is to spend around 30 - 40$ on either monthly cards or event packages. You will become VIP lvl 3 which will get you some extra slots, ability to use multi spin in casino and you will be able to buy extra energy for raids. Those are the most important benefits and you wont’ get too much value above level 3.

Daily routine

Whether you play on the official or private server, the rest of this article applies to both. In order to maximize your resources gains, you have to set up a daily routine. I recommend using my method for beginners and you can develop your own as you progress into the game. This method is called "left to right"

1. Left panel: Read your messages, Claim your hearths, Help kill mauraders if you have time
2. Tavern: Complete quests
3. Buy and refresh marketplace
4. Spin casino twice
5. Check Celestial islad
6. Get campaign rewards
7. Do 3 fights in arena
8. Complete your guild duties if you have one
9. Finish your raids

This method covers most of the daily quest and the fact that you go from left to right over every feature makes it less likely you forget to pick up resources.

Marketplace guide

As a new player it can often be hard to decide where your gold and gems should go. In the marketplace there is only few viable things to buy so here is a guide for you:
GOLD

• Buy purple orbs
• Buy 3 star heroes
• Buy 4 star heroes
• Buy arena tickets
• Buy scrolls
• Buy casiono chips

GEMS

• Buy Heroic scrolls
• Only buy heroes if you really need a specific one
• Very rarely buy chips if you need to complete an event
• Buy Prophet orbs

TOP TIPS

1. Don’t force RNG
   • if you like a hero or really want to do some faction, but you are not getting anything you need. Don’t waste the resources by forcing it
2. It is always worth to refresh useless tavern quests
   • If you have 5 one star quests that give you 5 diamonds and you think those 50 gems for refresh is too much, think again. One of those could give you up to 350 gems after refresh
3. Claim campaign rewards every 8 hours
   • You stop getting rewards if your not active for more than 8 hours
4. When choosing guild, don’t pick the highest level
   • You need to be able to compete with your guildies to get maximum rewards. Its better to pick a guild closer to your level.
5. Focus your resources on one faction
   • After few days of playing you should either pick a faction or have the RNG pick it for you. If you summon S rank hero it is smart to invest all your gold and summons on that faction.
6. Spin for scrolls
   • The chance that you get a 5 star hero from the casino is super small. It is way more effection to spin until you get a heroic scroll and then just refresh

Finish

Long post i know, but this game really IS worth it. The game is amazing and continues to entertain me after a month of playing.I know most of you probably won’t spend the money, so i will leave a link to the private server apk bellow.
