Skills

There are 9 skills available that are unlocked after buying certain heroes' upgrades. Once unlocked, they have no extra costs, but you have to wait for a specific cooldown time after each use. Skills will disappear when you ascend through Amenhotep so they will have to be unlocked again.

(x4⤴) Dark Ritual

• These are the amount of times you can use each skill before other ones cool down (Applies even after Vaagur).
• Clickstorm and Powersurge are abbreviated.
• In Mobile, Clickstorm is replaced with Tapstorm, Golden Clicks is replaced with Golden Taps, and Super Clicks is replaced with Super Taps.

Tips

Early game (first playthrough)

• Energize does not stack with itself, but you can use it, wait until it cools down, then use another skill to double its effect, and activate the other Energize+ other skill. This wastes time as you would have to wait until Energize cools down the first time to execute this while other skills could have been utilized in this interval but it has a much higher DPS potential to beat bosses within the 30 seconds.
• Metal Detector and Golden Clicks, Super Clicks and Lucky Strikes, and Clickstorm and another skill are good choices to combo.
• Energize doubles the effect of the next skill. Using it with Dark Ritual results in a 1.10 multiplier. Using Energize with Super Clicks results in a +400% (5x) click damage multiplier. Using it with Reload reduces the cooldown of the previous two skills by 1 hour, ignoring Energize (but including any previous Reload uses).
• The Dark Ritual is capped at 20 uses per ascension. (Energized Dark Rituals still count as 1 use each.)

Mid / Late game

• All ancients that have maximum effects will reach their respective maximum.
• Chawedo will increase the duration of Clickstorm, Berserker will increase the duration of Powersurge, Sniperino will increase the duration of Lucky Strikes, Energon will increase the duration of Metal Detector, Kleptos will increase the duration of Golden Clicks, Hecatoncheir will increase the duration of Super Clicks and Pluto will increase the amount of gold you get from Golden Clicks.
• Once you have a skill going forever, Energize it. As long as it keeps going (even when you reactivate it), the Energizing stays.
• Some Relic bonuses add to the levels of the ancients mentioned above, and so can be used for increasing the duration of skills, so if you plan to get more of your skills (without the help of Ancients) then you should collect those types of Relic. Note: You can only have 4 active Relic at a time. The best skill-extending relic to go with is Clickstorm, in order to get the extra auto-clicker from energize. After your ancients are high enough for Clickstorm to go forever without relics, go with Lucky Strikes. After that, Golden Clicks.
• In the late game, many players with high Vaagur level can use Energize + Dark Ritual + Reload for a 10% DPS boost, then wait 15 minutes and use Energize + Reload to reset Dark Ritual. The actions result in 10% DPS boost per half an hour.

Trivia

• Skills were first introduced in patch 0.03.
• Hotkeys were assigned to the skills in patch 0.04.
• Patch 0.06 added descriptions to the skills.
• As of patch 0.10, skills will glow when active. Golden Clicks skill was nerfed. Numpad works with the skill bar now. Energize, Golden Clicks, Super Clicks, and Dark Ritual were moved to different skill hotkeys.
• The Dark Rituals cap was introduced in patch 1.0.
• In patch 1.0e11, Clickstorm was changed to activate an Auto Clicker, and activating skills no longer break idle. Re-activating a skill while it is energized will now keep the energized state in addition to resetting the duration.
• On the Root2 mod, Vaagur decreases the cooldowns of all skills by up to 99.99%, instead of the normal 75%.
• There used to be a bug on the Mobile Version where if you set your device time to one day ahead, activate any ability or abilities besides Dark Ritual, then go back to present day with the abilities still active, when you open the app again, the abilities will remain active for several hours and even days, this results in a bug which causes abilities to be permanently activated. Allowing you to get things such as permanent criticals and a free Auto Clicker. Unfortunately, as of the version 2.7.4198 patch for mobile, it seems to have been fixed,
