Spend on production when income is the obstacle and hero training when fighting is the obstacle. Treat those as two separate problems, even when both use the same wallet.
Give each purchase a job
The older beginner guide describes manual ruby mining and automatic production, plus ruby-funded hero training. That makes a useful diagnosis:
- You are waiting to afford upgrades: inspect production.
- You can buy upgrades but enemies are surviving: inspect hero damage.
- Enemies fall quickly but progress feels slow: inspect travel and unlocks in Hero Hero Clicker: gold and mount priorities.
A practical comparison
Before buying, note the cost and the displayed improvement. If two purchases affect the same stat, compare their gain per ruby. Do not compare an income percentage directly with a damage percentage as if they were interchangeable.
This comparison is Hizzle's budgeting method. It does not require a hidden formula or pretend that every account has the same best purchase.
What changed since the old advice?
The 2024 guide describes a smaller hero roster and an older unlock system. The current Android listing advertises more heroes and chest summons. We therefore do not repeat the old roster total or promise its exact unlock order.
Read the current Train, Evolve and chest descriptions before spending scarce resources. Keep ruby leveling separate from collection and evolution goals. See Hero Hero Clicker: Android achievement checklist for the achievement evidence limit.
