History VideoGame / ClickerHeroes

** Even though it's an Idle game genre, Idle gameplay of all things starts to fall off once you reached approximately zone 150K+, approximately the time when you've unlocked Xavira; before, you could easily steamroll through the zones through Idle gameplay without requiring any clicking or skills but then come zone 180K, you suddenly couldn't catch up no matter what you do even after leveling Xyliqil. Part of the reason is the removal of Solomon by patch 1e10 along and by that point, you have already reached the peak of your Transcendent Power (25%) and couldn't go any further, with the only way to do so is to push through the zones as much as possible and this is where Active and Hybrid took over by that phase of the game. This is the reason why players would tell you that leveling Xyliqil is completely worthless; you can't push through enough with Idle build even after leveling it and each level only adds 1.9 bonus zones per timelapse so Active and Hybrid can't even benefit much from it.

''Clicker Heroes'' is an idle game made by Playsaurus. Like ''VideoGame/CookieClicker'', it is an idle game, except the player clicks on monsters to damage them so they can kill them and move to the next area. The player can buy heroes to cause increased damage over time, each of which can be upgraded, and some of which can give skills to help the player.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Wandering Fisherman, as he does not prefer to be called his real name

** Cid is an invaluable damage output early on, but hoard enough Hero Souls and there's absolutely no point in pouring any resources into her because even your basic click without any hero buffs will be more powerful than any buffs she can provide at max upgrades, due to the fact that she doesn't get the level scaling multipliers that everyone else does.

** Once you get Cid to level 150 and buy all her skills, there's absolutely no point in pouring any more resources into her, as she doesn't get the level scaling multipliers that everyone else does.

** However, even with this boost, there are still couple of heroes whom despite having the same 4x multipliers for each 25 levels, cannot catch up the DPS of the other heroes at all and this is mostly because most of their upgrades are based on supporting other heroes such as Betty Clicker, King Midas, and Amenhotep.

** The last five heroes from Tsuchi to Madzi each have '''enormous''' gaps between them.

* BrainlessBeauty: Britanny appears to be one, along with ValleyGirl (her accent), TheDitz (until you buy her Elixir of Deditzification) and GranolaGirl (an upgrade that turns meat into vegetables).

** ... TheBeastmaster hero. He can summon birds to spy on enemies, turn into a bear, and gets a bear pet once gilded.

* MinusWorld: The "Ghosty Ghosts Forests of Ghosts" level, which has an invisible, invincible enemy named [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Megatron]] [[VideoGame/{{Starcraft}} Ultralisk]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Oltrus]]. This level is usually found if an error occurs and the game is unable to load properly.

** A mercenary may cry [[Franchise/StarCraft "My life for Aiur!"]], [[VideoGame/WarcraftII "Zug zug"]] or [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire "Valar Morghulis"]] when embarking on a quest.

** If the game glitches up, one might end up in the "[[MinusWorld Ghosty Ghosts Forest of Ghosts]]" where the only enemy is an invisible, invincible "[[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Megatron]] [[VideoGame/{{Starcraft}} Ultralisk]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Oltrus]]".

* ExcusePlot: Lampshaded when some characters pledge themselves to your cause, "whatever it is".

** One of the upgrades for Tsuchi is Lizard Repellent, whose description states that said repellent is onions, just like the onions sold by Sam the onion man in [[Literature/Holes]]. Tsuchi is also a digger of holes.

** One of the upgrades for Tsuchi is Lizard Repellent, whose description states that said repellent is onions, just like the onions sold by Sam the onion man in [[Literature/Holes]. Tsuchi is also a digger of holes.

* MetaPowerup: Quite a number of Ancients do this, like passively increasing gold gained, decreasing cooldown time, etc.
