How the Ancient Planner Works

1. Input Your Save

Paste your Clicker Heroes save string or import a file. The parser reads Ancients, Hero Souls, and ascension data without any upload. The tool supports saves from both the web and mobile versions of the game.

2. Choose Your Playstyle

Select Idle, Hybrid, or Active. The optimizer weights Ancients differently based on your preferred strategy. Idle focuses on passive gold and damage (Libertas, Siyalatas), while Active emphasizes clicking and skills (Fragsworth, Bhaal).

3. Run Optimization

The engine evaluates each Ancient's cost vs. benefit, ranks upgrades, and allocates Hero Souls to maximize efficiency. The algorithm considers your available Hero Souls, current Ancient levels, and playstyle preferences.

4. Review & Compare

See recommended levels, cost, effect, and priority. Use the comparison to decide which upgrades to apply. The Planning Score helps you gauge how well-optimized your current build is.

Playstyle Comparison: Idle vs Hybrid vs Active

Idle: Prioritizes Ancients that boost passive gold and damage (e.g., Libertas, Siyalatas). Best for players who prefer minimal interaction.

Hybrid: Balances idle and active Ancients with a configurable ratio. Ideal for players who switch between active and idle play.

Active: Favors click damage, skill duration, and combo Ancients (e.g., Fragsworth, Bhaal). Best for players who actively click and use skills.

Recommendations are estimates based on community-known formulas. Always verify with your own game experience.
