Ponyboy will affect souls given by Trascending Power every Primal Boss?

[manson.oldboy]

If he isnt, theres no point on have Ponyboy right? since Souls given by trascending power are way more than the normal Souls giving by a primal boss.

Ponyboy is the most important Outsider. Without him progression would be VERY slow. Get him to level 10 fiirst before giving any AS to any otherOutsiders. Where you go from there depends on your playstyle.

I don't know how Ponyboy and Transcendent Power specifically effect the amount of HS that are gained. However, Ponyboy is one of the 4 Outsiders you want to give AS to in order play most efficiently (so the calculators say). The others would be Borb, Chor and Phan. Simply based on this it would seem that Ponyboy's effect is definitely desired and isn't pointless.

@Harry Nurppelz: Conventional Wisdom seems to indicate that Borb is the most important Outsider (if the calculators are to be believed).

I don't really see it. I will be putting levels into Rhageist long before I even consider leveling Borb.

You will see it eventually. Here is what I had regarding my Outsiders when I ended my last Transcention and could not progress past zone 789,154 (monsters/zone had climed to 14 when I stopped progressing):
Xyliqil (0),
Chor'gorloth (150),
Phandoryss (510),
Ponyboy (135),
Borb (145),
Rhageist (64),
K'Ariqua (82),
Orphalas (60),
Sen-Akhan (34).

I used the Outsider calculator and reallocated my AS as follows for my current Trans. (according to the calculator this should get me to zone 1.8 million):
Xyliqil (0),
Chor'gorloth (77),
Phandoryss (319),
Ponyboy (55),
Borb (378),
Rhageist (0),
K'Ariqua (0),
Orphalas (0),
Sen-Akhan (0).

I'm currently at Zone 1,057,564 using this setup as advised by the calculator


Xyliqil (0)
Chor'gorloth (92)
Phandoryss (401)
Ponyboy (60)
Borb (413)
Rhageist (0)
K'Ariqua (0)
Orphalas (0)
Sen-Akhan (0)

previously i had my AS spread around a lot more and was stalling out at around Zone 600,000

so, sad as it is, it seems there are only 4 Outsiders worth investing in

without levelling Borb, you'll be fighting 10 monsters per Zone later in the game. this will make your Transcensions take far, far longer. you certainly don't need to level Borb. and you'll get a little farther if you don't. but it will take a LOT longer.

FYI: I just saw the following from a thread on Reddit ( https://old.reddit.com/r/ClickerHeroes/comments/9z83c6/transcendent_power_question/ ).
>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hero souls from TP = 20 * (Ponyboy bonus) * (1 + TP)^(zone / 5 - 20).

To anyone still interested in this game in 2024:
Yes, Ponyboy affects TP.
In a nutshell: The more HS a primal bossmonster drops, the more HS you get from TP.
Ponyboy increases the HS amount, therefore influencing the amount of HS you get from TP.
Definitely an outsider worth leveling, especially in early-game.
