Tap Heroes is another RPG game that let you tap your way through the different levels. If you are new to the game, you may find this guide useful in helping you getting started.
First of, the paid version gives you a starting familiar pet with ads removed. Which you can get if you purchase the familiar pet in the free version. So your best shot is to give the game a try before you pay money into it.
Basic Gameplay Strategy
The best way to play the game is to let it “idle”, after you have obtained the mage. Always make sure that your mage has enough healing power to cover the damage done by the enemies. In addition, you will need to spec your warrior to have enough HP to take a couple hits before dying.
Tap Power: As the game is built at the time of writing this guide, tapping can increase your grinding speed by heaps. However, it is not helpful in terms of being able to “idle grind”. Thus, only spend gold on healing power so that you can survive through the boss battles.
Optimal Stats Spec in Tap Heroes
In Tap Heroes, you will have access to three different kinds of heroes fairly early in the game. You should always upgrade your warrior’s attack, rogue next, and mage just enough so that you can leave your mobile device for idle grinding.
Warrior: you should put the most importance with your Crits and Attack levels. You only need enough health to tank hits that come from bosses. In terms of importance, Attack = Critical > Speed. However, you will need to place enough points in health to survive more than two consecutive hits from a boss.
Mage: You only need enough heal to cover the usual area grinding. Focus on the healing power instead of healing speed. In general, you will probably need to tap to heal yourway through some of the later bosses. Being able to “heal twice” is a little weak until late game where you have level 50+ will. You should not rely on double heal to keep yourself alive during early boss fights.
Rogue: Stun is only useful for boss fights, only place points in them if you are really having trouble with any particular boss. Arrow speed is fairly useless too as rogue’s attacks are “debuff” types. Focus your upgrades on Poison and potency to improve the damage and damage over time effect.
Conclusion: Warrior’s Attack and Crit should be roughly 5 level ahead of Speed. Warrior’s Speed level should be the same as Rogue’s poison level. Rogue’s potency level should be 5 level less than the poison. Lastly, you need enough healing power for the mage to survive through bosses.
For example:
Warrior Attack and Critical level are both 30. The speed should be 25. Rogue’s poison level should be 25 while the potency be at 20. With this spread you should be a decent build to move fast in the game.
Extra Shop Notes
Familiar pet: This is a small baby-dragon pet (an extra character in essence). It attacks the enemy like the warrior and grows more powerful for each area you beat. If you beat area 5 for example the pet will grow to lvl 5 and so on.
Banker: The banker doubles all the coins you get. It is also possible to upgrade it 3 levels so you can get 4 times as much coins as normal. However, further upgrades will also cost star gem. But bankers can really help your gold coin farming speed. It should be the first IAP that you buy if you decide to buy the in game item.
The Inn: When you have the inn your heroes will sleep and always restore to full health when you move between areas. The Inn is pretty useless until way later levels, but even then, it is much better to spend your in game gem on the banker.
Potions: These give you instant full health when used. These can help you with tight spots against the bosses.

Optimal Farm and attack level requirement
The amount of gold that you can farm based on your DPS does not really matter from stage to stage. Just make sure to let your phone or tablet sit while your mage has the ability to keep your warrior alive. And farm at a stage where it takes 3~4 shots for your team to kill the mob.
