## Introducing Heresy

### Generic Phases

Heretic General Phases depending on Mysteries and needs;
1. Setup:  *(5m~30m)*
	* Fill Up Spells, Maximize Sources, Collect Resources, Gather Enchanting Dust, etc.
2. Preburst:  *(within the first 10m~1h)*
	* Collect a bunch of Upgrades and Power to move forward *(e354 Mysteries is when VP is generally available through Preburst)*
3. Buildup:  *(Indefinite; generally 1h~2d, but upwards to 30d+)*
	* Stack HC, VS, Smite
4. Void Mana:  /  *(1h~2d)*
	* Maximize Void Mana with VL & VP
5. Burst:  /  /  *(15m~2h+)*
	* Profit through using Manual HCs and Best Incantation and Summoning Spells

If you have , then I recommend adding;

* 2.5) Accumulation Setup:  *(6h~24h)*
	+ Maximize RoP casts for Spellcraft 200

### Attributes

Attributes are weird, and definitely fluctuate depending on Power and Necessity, especially since Heretic benefits greatly from ALL Attribute Trees, so we have to maximize potential.
Generally I would Advise;

1. Dominance

	* Dom increases All Click and Crit bonuses, which directly increase HC Power.
	* If you have 100% Critical Chance, increased Critical Rating will increase the Profit by Crits, Super Crit Chance, and other benefits to Crit and Click power *("Criticals")*
2. Insight

	* The Void directly augments HC Power and General Use of Void Mana potential
	* Ins is also crucial in collecting a Whole bunch of Void Mana, and collecting Highest Void Mana this Run, which are both crucial and very powerful
3. Items

	* Resonator - 150 Intelligence
	* Companion's Ring - 50 Patience
	* Falconer's Set - 75 (Hat) ; 175 (Hollow Eye) ; 200 (Cape) *[Note +80 Emp from Bite Sleeve req. 50 Intelligence]*
	* Others...
4. Empathy

	* Emp greatly increases Pet Ability Power(PaP), great for;
		+ *(Evocation buildup)*
		+ *(Void Mana buildup & Bursting)*
		+ *(Mainly Void Mana Buildup)*
			- Note that  grows very poorly with profit based upon Emp, but he does greatly increase his Void Profit *(for experience)* and Void Mana gathered well through PaP, but suffers in profit based on PaP.
5. Intelligence

	* Int has great perks and bonuses throughout the whole skill tree, but can swap for other Perks without suffering too much
6. ~Patience

	* Pat is very powerful, and has the highest scaled Base bonus with very Powerful perks
	* Yet, there are builds that can better use the perks for items and abilities, so be mindful of which are most powerful for your run
7. Mastery

	* Though Mas isn't very powerful for Heretic, since it's Character Ability Power(CaP) is very low, the bonuses from it can be very powerful, especially with
8. Spellcraft

	* Spc has a few great perks, notably the Incantation Efficiency
	* Spc suffers in not providing much power or profit with Heretic, since it lacks Shattering Strike from Exorcist, but with  it gains back it's power by super stacking Smite(PHCs) to increase Void Mana to extreme heights *(be warned of too high of Void Mana potentially crashing your game when you collect Void Entities)*
9. Versatility

	* Ver is meh. Not bad, but not good, especially as it has no Perks. Used as an Overflow for High leveled Voidlight builds
10. Wisdom

	* Wis is a Pipedream that Heretics wish they could invest in, but shouldn't since it provides no real Profit until WAY TOO FAR down the road.
	* Optional to use it in a build for super stacking spells

[ ~ ; *Refers to all Points less than <25 Points(or to gain a perk) should be placed in Patience, as it has the strongest Base Bonus per Point* ]

### Items

* Heretic specializes in Click, Crit, Void Mana, and Evocation

Setup Preburst Augmentation Buildup Void Mana SetBurst Burst

1a - Burst Anima

* doesn't scale well with Pet Efficiency for profit, and is solely using his "Incantation Efficiency per Level" for bursting, thus we use , while  bursts with Click/Crit Efficiency gear
	+ just needs to get to a high level within a reasonable amount of time, as there isn't a huge impact in waiting an hour for an extra level.

1b - Burst Voidterror

* scales very well in the Void Mana Profit, so we use , while  bursts with Click/Crit Efficiency gear

1c - Burst Voidlight

* scales horribly with Pet Ability, thus we use , while  bursts with Click/Crit Efficiency gear

1d - Hotae Burst

* can be used for any of the pet (Anima, Voidterror, Voidlight, etc), and will fit accordingly. But, be careful with possible glitches with high Void Mana per Entities and Current Void Man. Test the difference between

2 - Incantation

* The Incantation set augments  and  which can enhance the potential of profit, and can also be used to speed up  between bursting. Used as a setup with a large focus on Incantation Efficiency.

3 - General Pet Experience

* Used for gaining quick experience, especially for , , and
	+ gains experience through Active duration spells *(summoning & incantation)*
	+ just needs to get to a high level within a reasonable amount of time, as there isn't a huge impact in waiting an hour for an extra level.

* Void Mana and Bursting
	+ Grows greatly from PaP

* Void Mana (PHC required)
* Bursting profit

### Class Background

Heretic uses the bonuses from Exorcist and Voidmancer, but the bonuses are only half as powerful, since they are mixed together.

* + Void Entity Collection - Main ability Growth
	+ Void Mana Profit
	+ All Voidtraps Filled for full power
	+ Void Mana's reduced Degeneration
	+ Voidgate Source *(with upgrades)*
* + Excess Hallowed Clicks (EHC) - Main ability Growth
	+ Performed Hallowed Click (PHC)
	+ Increased Click Profit
		- Note that Autoclick profit, Click profit, Critical Profit, Critical Rating, Void Mana per Entity, Void Mana Profit, and other Click or Void Mana based bonuses Directly strengthen the power of Each Hallowed Click's Profit
	+ Libram Source *(with upgrades)*
* + General Profit to Sources
	+ Soul Shard Source *(with upgrades)*

### Stacking Information

As a Heretic you will need to enhance a few things to augment your truest power.

Abilitities

* Hallowed Clicks
	+ Performed Hallowed Clicks (PHC) - Manual Clicks,  *(Smite)*
		- Note; Generally Persists beyond Exile for VA, but per Exile through Voidlight's Ability *(All-time found in "More" Statistics ("Shift+S") under "Classes" ; This Exile found when Hovering over Heretic's Portrait Ability)*
	+ Excess Hallowed Clicks (EHC) - Mostly through  *(HF)*
* Void Entities (VEs)
	+ Collected Void Entities - Mostly  *(VS)*
	+ Void Entities in Traps - All 4 Void Traps filled, for Max Voidmancer Profit

* (WN) - +1 Autoclick per +e1 of Void Mana
	+ Note Major Bug -- Collecting ANY Void Entities with extremely high Void Mana per Entity will result in the game crashing *(mostly for use with Voidlight)*
* (HW) - Increases profit based on Max Librams
* (PoS) - Sacrifices Pool of EHC for Click Profit *(Increases with Upgrades and using VA)*
* (SoV) - Increases Crit Rating based on Character Level *(improved rating, even at 100%, will increase Super Crits chance and profit)*
* (BT) - Maximize HCs Profit based on EHCs this Exile
* (CVE) - Increases Void Profit Based on Highest Void Mana this Exile
* (VA) - +1 to Pool of EHC based on Current Void Mana ; Increases Void Profits based on total PHCs

Items

* - Pet Ability by Collection of VEs *(through VS)*
* - Character Ability by Enchanting Dust this run *(experiments)*
* - Extra Enchanting Dust per Experiment *(Hotkey of* "W"*)*
* - Profit based on Stacking; Mana, Void Mana, Autoclicks, Casts, and VEs

## Early Heretic Guide: e300 ~ e360 Mysteries

This phase is also known as the Pre- phase, which can be bought with 1.00e700 Mana.

Because of the Lack of VP, there is a sneaky way to Maximize Void Mana in small but powerful runs;

### Early Heretic Phases

1. * Setup:  - Maximize Sources *(10m~1h)*
2. * Preburst:  /  - Collect Upgrades *(within the first 1h)*
	* Buildup:  - Collect VEs *(30m~2h)*
	* Void Mana:  - Highest Void Mana this Exile
3. * Burst:
		+ - With Voidmancer's Max Void Mana, Burst asap [opt. Collect a few HF] *(5m~35m)*
		+ - After you have tried bursting with Voidterror, try bursting with Anima to see if profit is more powerful. If stronger, set Anima as your burst pet. *(1m~15m)*
4. Longer Run *(if profit wasn't high enough)*
	* Repeat; Buildup, Void Mana, and Burst as Heretic.

*[I can get about 7~8 Full Perfect Burst in by the time PoS Ends (45s). A Perfect Burst requires all 6 Max Profit Spell AND Redeemer. My maximum is ~3600 HCs in one PoS]*

Extension

Once you are done bursting, you have a few Options;

* Live with your Profit; Exile
* Collect a few more HCs with Voidterror and keep bursting within a few minutes *(still riding on Voidmancer's Void Mana)*
* Continue as Heretic and perform a Secondary Buildup

Buildup

* with

* Maximize HF for eHC, and VS for VEs

Once you have enough eHC, you can jump back to Voidterror, collect more Void Mana *(with just VL)* and perform continual Bursts.

## Practiced Heresy: e350~e550 Mysteries

## Queen Voidterror: e300~e550 Mysteries
