#CID THE HELPFUL ADVENTURER UPGRADE#

If you're still at a level of play where ascending with 1-3 more souls makes any real difference to you, you will want to level Cid into the 2k, 4k, or 6k range. See also those heroes providing critical click upgrades. Thus, ultimately click damage comes from a factor of DPS via the abilities on Treebeast, Ivan, The Fisherman, Betty, Mercedes, Sir George II, and Frostleaf. His ability gives click damage, his upgrades only affect himself.

On the other hand, in active play, some of Cid's ability and upgrades could be useful (only) at the start. You could, as these skills are barely needed to make your optimal run time, skip: In effective idle play you can easily skip: Or who is significantly providing you with the most DPS.Д¬id is never doing any of these.

Optionally, a skill you need (like the Dark Ritual, Energize and Reload).

#CID THE HELPFUL ADVENTURER UPGRADE#

When playing idly it is important to note that you can totally skip any hero that is not either providing an important upgrade to: On about your 10th ascension and thereafter, you're unlikely to find even this click damage to be particularly useful it would constitute less than 1% of the over all click damage from a roster of heroes generating DPS and a percent of DPS as click damage.

This makes leveling Cid mostly about unlocking his early boost to click damage. Regardless of play style, Cid does not contribute to DPS, nor does Cid receive multiplier bonuses to any of his natural abilities at level 200-4100 which the others do (between 4x and 10x at 25 level increments). In my opinion, Cid is there to get you along the first 25 waves, especially when you play for the first time, after that it fades away in the shadows of the other hero's powers. But that was probably mainly because of relics and ancients. I tried upgrading Cid from level 200 to level 1100, but my click damage only increased with 1-2%, I was doing about 200O click damage at the time of upgrading. When ascending, upgrade Cid to get a decent amount of upgrades so you can get another hero soul or two ( upgrades). After that, keep upgrading the other heroes to get more DPS and therefore also more click damage. If you want more click damage, simply get the 0.5% of DPS damage bonus for your clicks by upgrading the other heroes along the way. You will notice that around wave 75~, maybe earlier. It is useful to upgrade Cid to level 150, since that contains the last upgrade.ДЄfter that it doesn't do much damage since it is easily surpassed by it colleague heroes.
