What is the Clicker Heroes Outsider Calculator?
The Clicker Heroes Outsider Calculator is an essential tool for players who have reached the Transcension phase of the game. Once you transcend, you sacrifice your Ancients, Hero Souls, and Relics in exchange for Ancient Souls (AS). These AS are spent on Outsiders—powerful beings that provide massive multiplicative bonuses to your progression.
Who should use it? Any player looking to minimize the time spent in the “early-transcension” slog and maximize their Highest Zone Ever (HZE). A common misconception is that you should spread AS evenly. In reality, the Clicker Heroes Outsider Calculator demonstrates that specific Outsiders like Borb and Ponyboy require heavy investment as you progress toward the late game to maintain efficiency.
Clicker Heroes Outsider Calculator Formula and Mathematical Explanation
The math behind the Clicker Heroes Outsider Calculator relies on the cost functions and diminishing returns of each Outsider.
| Variable | Meaning | Unit | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS | Total Ancient Souls | Points | 10 – 100,000+ |
| Chor Cost | Sum of levels (n*(n+1)/2) | AS | Max level 150 |
| Phan Cost | Linear Scaling (n) | AS | 1 – 500 |
| Borb Level | Kuma Effectiveness | Level | 1 – 250+ |
The logic follows a priority queue: First, ensure Ponyboy provides enough Hero Souls for the start. Second, cap Chor’gorloth to reduce Ancient costs. Third, invest in Phandoryss for DPS. Finally, dump remaining AS into Borb to ensure your monsters-per-zone remains at 2.0 as long as possible.
Practical Examples (Real-World Use Cases)
Example 1: Early Game Transcension
A player with 50 AS uses the Clicker Heroes Outsider Calculator. The result suggests: Xyliqil (5), Chor (10), Phan (5), Ponyboy (20), and Borb (10). This setup focuses on boosting Primal Hero Souls early on so the player can quickly re-purchase essential Ancients like Solomon and Siyalatas.
Example 2: Late Game Push
A player with 5,000 AS finds that without high Borb levels, their runs slow down significantly after zone 50,000. The Clicker Heroes Outsider Calculator would suggest putting nearly 70% of those souls into Borb, with Chor’gorloth capped at 150, to maintain a 2-monster-per-zone speed.
How to Use This Clicker Heroes Outsider Calculator
- Locate your total Ancient Souls count in the Clicker Heroes “Transcension” tab.
- Enter the value into the Clicker Heroes Outsider Calculator input field.
- Select your playstyle (Active is generally superior for high-zone pushing).
- Review the suggested levels for each of the five Outsiders.
- Use the “Copy Results” button to save your build or keep it open while you assign levels in-game.
Key Factors That Affect Clicker Heroes Outsider Calculator Results
- Total AS Count: As you gain more AS, the utility of Xyliqil drops significantly compared to Borb.
- Highest Zone Ever (HZE): Higher zones require more Borb levels to keep Kumawakamaru effective.
- Playstyle Selection: Idle players need a baseline investment in Xyliqil, whereas Active players can ignore it entirely for Active vs Idle builds.
- Ancient Soul Efficiency: Proper allocation ensures you don’t waste AS on capped outsiders like Chor’gorloth beyond level 150.
- Hero Soul Growth: Using a Hero Soul efficiency approach helps you understand how Ponyboy accelerates the early game.
- Transcension Frequency: If you transcend often, you might favor Ponyboy more than Borb for faster resets.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why is Borb so important in the Clicker Heroes Outsider Calculator?
A: Borb increases the effectiveness of Kumawakamaru. Without it, you eventually face 10+ monsters per zone, which triples or quadruples your clear time.
Q: When should I transcend?
A: Generally, transcend when you have earned 10-15 new Ancient Souls, as suggested in our transcension guide.
Q: Does Xyliqil help with Active builds?
A: No. Xyliqil only boosts Idle Ancients. Active players should leave Xyliqil at 0 to maximize other Outsiders.
Q: What is the maximum level for Chor’gorloth?
A: While you can go higher, level 150 provides the maximum effective cost reduction for Ancients.
Q: How does Phandoryss work?
A: Phandoryss provides a massive boost to Transcendent Power and DPS, making every hero soul spent more impactful.
Q: Can I use this for Clicker Heroes 2?
A: No, this Clicker Heroes Outsider Calculator is specifically designed for the original Clicker Heroes (v1.0e10 and later).
Q: What happens if I misallocate my AS?
A: You will have to wait until your next Transcension to re-allocate them, which might make your current run much slower.
Q: Is there a “best” Outsider?
A: Borb is the “best” for late game, while Ponyboy is the “best” for the first 100 AS.
