How To Get To The Dread Knight Faster!

A guide of how to get the dread knight faster!

The Foundation

The Foundation is DPS. You will need a lot of DPS to get the Dred Knight and the heroes that do the most damage are:

Brittany, The Beach Princess

The Wandering Fisherman

Frostleaf

The Masked Samurai


These are the most effective heroes to get Dread Knight and try to level up these as much as possible and get them gilded at least ten times each. They are worth every little quantillion you have. Also their powers kick in at arround level 1000-1200 because they get insane boosts at those levels.

The last level you're getting to!

To get to the Dread Knight you have to be at least at level 260. You will notice the progression will be crazy slow so you'll probably have to resort to clicking.

I recomend an auto clicker. I personaly use "GS Auto Clicker".
It's simple to use and has some good features. Here's the link to the downlaod:

Still if that doesn't do it just upgrade as much of your heroes (For hero souls) and ascend to get them. The next time you'll get to that stage you'll have way more damage and will go further. You need arroud 200 hero souls to get to the Dread Knight. It takes a long time, but that's how the game goes into mid. game. (Oh and if you're lazy *cough* http://www.itshax.com/Clicker-Heroes/ *cough*)

The Ancients

You WILL need the ancients to get further. You have to construct a build that you use. I use a idle one witch I have learned of of my brother.

The ancient benefits:

Fortuna- gives you a chance of 10x gold
Libertas- Gives you more money when idle for 60 sec.
Siyalatas- Gives you more DPS when idle

People still reading this? XD
I'm pretty sure that some (or most of the information) might be innacurate and old....

"To get to Dread Knight you have to be at least at lvl 260"

Got there in 215

"You need around 200 HS"

Had 60 active HS at the time

"Their powers kick in at lvl 1000 - 1200"

Got Frostleaf to lvl 300 then *boom* dread knight

Le guide is inacurate

[Porkedchop]

what level should i restart to get a ok amount of hero souls?

[cryinonion]

im like 4000U away from dreadknight and i am on levle 220

[cryinonion]

the best charecter to levle up to 1000 is treebeast

[cryinonion]

this is a lie

Neb The Mighty- well I made the guide before I got him. I have him maxed out and I know of him

[Neb the Adjective]

Do note that there is also the great help of Dogcog, Ancient of Thrift, which for each level decreases by 2% the cost to hire, level up, and buy upgrades for heroes, and this ancient ahs a max level of 25, meaning that with max level all heroes and their costs are half off forever unless you (are dumb enough to) Respec away all those ancients. So with a maxed Dogcog you will get to Dread Knight, not to mention every other hero, especially if you have recently ascended, twice as quickly, which is certainly a thing which can help us.
