Gold chests or auto clickers

[Ikeon]

Should I spend my money on gold chests or autoclickers. I have the magic hand one, do I need more than that.

[Neocronic]

Buy first auto clicker. With this thing you can skip first 50-75 stages in any runs. Just max click damage. Other auto clickers don't needed. Game have passive auto loot system, just need more time for that.

Buy Gold Chests. Familiars (clickers) are confort stuff. The Magic Hand is already enough.

The game is about getting gear for your champions and levelling them, it's an idle game not a clicker game and click damage won't get you far.

At first i tought auto clicker was usefull, but they slow down mobs wich is a waste of time considering you need the mobs to reach you quick to benefit strix aura (i don't use nayeli on the first line as you can't provide her any sort of heal, but with some formation it is even more usefull to let the mobs reach you quickly).
Now i use no familiar at all exept eventually 1 for the ultimate, buy gold chest instead.

Calliope heals Nayeli if she is in third line.
Also two clickers are good for a bit faster gem farming. Set one auto-level click and other to click. I dont have much favor but still reach level 90 with one click kill. And then reset.

The pixie is worth the gems once you have all gear at rare or better, and the almiraj is worth getting once you have all epic gear.

The best use for familiars is being able to walk away from the game for longer periods. If you only play when you are close at hand to level champions often, they have much less utility, although keeping 3 in the field speeds progression by picking up everything automatically.

At low levels, the first priority is to click enemies with either one familiar (just for damage) or three (for auto-pickups), the second priority is to level click damage, and the third is to level Jarlaxle for gold find.
Once click damage no longer keeps up, the first familiar should level your dps and the the second should level your tank. Any familiars after that can level buffers like Bruenor, Celeste, Calliope, and Barrowin.

1 is good, 2 is best, more is only for make thing easier than ever.

how to use?

for the first 100 areas, 1 familiar upgrades click damage and the other one-click kills enemies.

when you get to areas where clicking does no damage at all, 1 familiar to upgrade tank and the other to upgrade DPS heros.

Levelling your main DPS is a better strategy from the start than levelling your click damage.

All gold invested in click damage is lost in the end.

I got two familiars with gems and am halfway throught tothe 3rd and expensive one. I don't know if I'll buy it in the end. I sure do know that GCs drop 1 epic in 10 chests. With the old chest system I'd go for the chests. With this new troll "RNG" (lol) nope. I may get nothing and just pile up gems.

The way gold works in this game is that gold spent in the beginning stages becomes negligible before long. Leveling your click damage to 100 costs less than 1% of the gold from a single enemy at area 200. However, clicking kills enemies faster than your champions can, allowing you to progress through areas faster (24 minutes instead of 30+ for 50 levels) and farm gems and/or reach your wall to farm favor significantly faster.

5 (or 10?) clicks per second versus 3-8 seconds per hit per hero. which do you think is better?

Click kills are making you advance faster. And actually one of the variants can only be done by clicking: "finish area 50 in 30 minutes". every area gets cleared around 1 minute with heroes' one-hit kills. click-kills make this time about the half.

this click-kills are also useful if you just want to farm gems. let 1 to upgrade and other to kill, go have fun with family and come back in 1 hour, reset, restart and do the same. just be careful, some areas have bosses or similar obstacles you can't kill with clicks, just stay away from them.

and don't worry about the gold invested into clicks, you will get higher income in higher areas, and you get there faster with clicks

Honestly, I use only 1 most often. When I wall, it's good to have the magic hand spamming ultimates to clear the mobs, when they gather too many.
The second auto clicker is useful in certain situations. For example it adds to the strategy of certain variants. But since I prefer to decide which heroes to level, and it's usually when my gold is enough to reach next upgrade in one of them, I almost never use the second one.

Calliope doesn't heal at all, she provide temporary hp only.

I second that, this is the only relevant post in this topic.

I don't get the point of spending thousand gem to get useless familiar that will just help you to get to wave 100 or even 150 (if you get quite a lot of favor) with click damage, while your heroes does exactly the same but can push a lot further.
And again click damage slow down mobs wich isn't good at all.

Sorry, but when i read all those post i am more than just sceptical, but afterall you do whatever you want...

Yes, every 3 seconds. How is that different from healing?

Shielding and healing, no matter how much fast it occurs, are totally different mechanics.
Shielding grants extra 'fake' life or damage absorbtion, it has nothing to do with restoring the actual target's life (which is what healing is).
Try to over-level Nayeli compared to Calliope and see how much Calliope's buff will protect her from mobs, you will see the "difference" by yourself then.
She will most likely die if mobs deal a damage that is big enough to wipe out her HP, and there's nothing Calliope can do about it, because her shield is not sufficient and it does not recharge her HP, while Celeste would work much better in that case.
You need Nayeli to be a lot lower than Calliope, for that shield to be effective, and in a zone where mobs damage < her shield; but even then, it's not "healing", it's just restoring the fake life faster than it gets consumed, and mobs never manage to touch her real HPs.
