I really wanted to break Clicker Heroes with this script, but I tried greasemonkey and autohotkey, how in the world do I get this to work?

Edit: I got the autoclicker to work with autohotkey, by pushing F8, but I can not get the F12 thing to work :(.

Make sure the window name portion of the ControlSend commands matches the name of your window. If you are on Kongregate do a find and replace on "Clicker Heroes - Mozilla Firefox" with "Play Clicker Heroes". Also make sure the game is open in a separate window it wont work if you have a different tab selected on the same window.

I'm playing it at Clicker Heroes and using Firefox and it keeps giving me Syntax Error: Illegal Character.

For Clicker Heroes, what does Dark Ritual mean by World? Is it 1 level, or the 10 level segment where everything has a similar background?

Does it apply if you leave that World and come back?

It means per World Ascension, so hammer away on Dark Ritual if you have it available. Energize if you can.

It's a global bonus that lasts until you ascend.

If your DPS is 100 and you use energized DR, it'll go up to 110.

If you then buy a hero that adds 900 dps, you'll go to 1100, (100+900)*1.10

Extremely powerful, worth using every chance you can.

Like Oblivion said, it only resets when you use Amenhotep's "Ascension" to re-start from level 1 with no heroes.

It also says "current DPS", but that's a lie. It adds a global multiplier (that stacks multiplicatively) which includes damage from heroes you buy after you activate the dark ritual. So you don't need to save it ever - unless you're waiting for energizer to come off cooldown which is always a good idea.

This is from leaving the game running for a day or 2 using the AHK script I linked earlier.

Damage without current Dark Ritual stacks: -97.5% (current DR multiplier is 45.259, ~40 uses)

Why do you insist on plugging this? Why even bother playing the game if you're just going to run a bot to play it for you that makes all actual interaction completely meaningless?

Specifically for Clicker Heroes, that game requires a ton of interaction for something that's supposed to be "idle". At least with AC I can buy a building or two, leave it for a day, come back, repeat, come back again, reset and get back to where I was in like 10 minutes. With Clicker Heroes, I have to dedicate quite a lot of time with it actively after a reset just to get back to where I was, plus progress is painfully slow until you get specific ancients and a really large pool of souls to work with. For example, I just spent 3 days getting to level 300, and that was after leaving my computer running overnight while an autoclicker program clicked over four hundred thousand times to boost my DPS up with Juggernaut just to keep me at an effective pace.

It's no more effort than any other idle game I've played. You do a lot of stuff right after ascending, sure, but after you get going you can leave it for days and just check every couple of hours to upgrade stuff if necessary. I can get to where I was after an ascension in 10-15 minutes in Clicker Heroes, and if you're having problems with that (since you bought and are using Juggernaught but have trouble getting to floor 300, that tells me you have nothing in Siyalatas/Libertas, which is why you're running slowly), it's with your strategy, not the game. Running the EDR bot takes literally everything else out of the equation because of how powerful it is. Spend your gold once a day and you can probably cap everything out just doing that.

Part of the fun of idle games it automating the parts you don't like. Here are some additional links that are less cheating. The regild calculator is really good it has a chart to track change in DPS per gild. I was able to get 25% boost to DPS from spending 15 souls on regilds. Make sure you max your heroes out before you regild as it has greater effect at higher levels.

It actually correctly calculates the increase after DR-ing, so it'd say 990 to the added DPS.

I agree with this, but if you automate EDRs you might as well just run progress quest. The only meaningful interaction you have with the game is 30s of furious ability clicking to kill bosses and interacting with ascention/ancients, and this removes both of those. I'm a big fan of easy access math since nobody can look at that list of heroes and just know what the next best thing it, and autoclicking is fine although not my style. Part of the draw is that you have a moment where you sit down and do a bunch of stuff and think "man everything is going much faster and there will be many more numbers next time I sit down than last because of what I just did".

Hell, I think wall destroyer was a great mostly idle very little clicking game before the prestige change, and now it basically requires an autoclicker. I'm still 4 building trophies and 7 prestige trophies away from where I was pre-change, and I have to break all the way up through finality gamma to unlock ONE of those 11 trophies. It takes 4-5 days to get that far idling where it might have been 1-2 days before. The system is better (higher walls give more prestige) but the implementation is crap because the scaling is so terrible.

So for those of you asking about when to reset in wall destroyer: whenever you think you'll get another 1-3 trophies from your prestige, and get an autoclicker because that game needs a balancing pass pretty bad.

It's the same result.
pre:
(100+900)*1.1 = (100*1.1)+(900*1.1)
1000*1.1      = 110+990
1100          = 1100

Clicking is a bad mechanic and your option is to either ignore the fact that a huge percentage of your users will use an autoclicker, or design for that, and both of those are terrible. Hover mechanics are the best way to reward attentiveness but I've seen basically one idle game use them.

I've been checking out the incremental game subreddit and you wouldn't believe how angry people get at auto clickers. Like the people there legitimately want everyone to sit there clicking over and over and earn every click through hard earned dedication.

Also they get really really pissy when games made on the cookie clicker engine get posted. Because that's not the subreddit for those sorts of games.

I don't mind autoclickers since at least you still have to be at the game doing stuff but running the EDR bot removes literally all requirement for decision making or actually playing the game. Just run it for two weeks, only ever look at the game once a day to spend gold, and you'll come out of it with enough HS to cap out practically everything.

I've gone against most of the thread advice and gone bhaal solomon vaagur atman (and dogcog but I was kinda stuck with him) and doing runs to 500 right now, going up 100 every ascension. The primal ancients are amazing, and I'll probably go fragsworth next because I can clear 2 bosses with a 123457 combo. Really rewarding while playing, which is I guess what I'm after. I'll probably go idle ancients after that to boost my income while I"m sleeping/working but I don't get most of my money by a long shot from idling, it's all sweet gold loots from 30s clicking bursts.

Going from Brick building trophy to Reality Compromiser trophy requires you to do FOUR full resets where you kill every wall (including the very last wall) You get 1 million cosmic knowledge for killing every wall, and you need 6 million of them to unlock Reality Compromiser trophy... (You already have 2 million when you get Brick Building trophy, so 4 million missing)
So basically you need to COMPLETE the game, FOUR TIMES, to get an upgrade that isn't even the last upgrade.

Oh and when you reset you loose all your random bonus points, meaning it takes a couple of days of idling once you have everything but the last wall done to even get back where you were before you reset. But you HAVE to reset to get the trophies.

The prestige system was far more fun before this gigantic fuckup to the game.

I am currently saving for the Prestige Hacker upgrade, which generates cosmic knowledge as you play, but 2 days of idling and autoclicking 200 times per second and i am not even halfway to affording it yet.

4th wall only ever bottlenecks you if you autoclick, and even then it shouldn't be more than a few hours to get what you need for whatever you're working on.

I think this is pretty regular as your souls/hour is ~technically~ highest if you babysit it constantly and just flush your hero levels into souls every half hour or so. It's also a cripplingly needy way to play an idle game and not particularly fun. I would say do short resets of ~10 souls or so until you max vaagur, then head deep for 300 or 400 with EDR rotations. I did a 300 and have been going 100 deeper every run for more gilds and to give myself a sense of progress outside of ancients.
