How to install the Idle Heroes Private Server | Detailed Guide

Idle Heroes is a mobile RPG that mixes strategy and management. It stands out for its rich universe and the diversity of its characters, which gives it a long life expectancy. Each player can thus live a unique adventure and progress at their own pace, little by little. But like all mobile games that borrow mechanics from gacha game (lottery) mechanics, the most hurried players will be encouraged to pull out the blue card to progress faster. This is always frustrating when the game is presented as free-to-play. However, the community has decided to get around this problem by creating the Idle Heroes private server. This allows you to play an alternative version, totally free and much more satisfying for those who are looking for a fast progression.

Beware, in the core of the game, Idle Heroes PS has some differences. Some of the heroes are balanced differently or even completely changed compared to the classic version. Not everyone will find what they are looking for, but this version is still worth knowing.

Why install this alternative version?

By playing on the Idle Heroes private server, you will not be able to climb the official ladder of the game. But for those who play in their corner and are not there to tryhard, it is an interesting and especially economic solution. Everything is accelerated in this version of the game. Players start with VIP 13 and receive various bonuses. These include:

• Bigger connection bonus.
• Unlocking the achievement of the heroic summons.
• More resources harvested through self-combat.
• Ability to make 10 friendly explorations instead of 2.

Another nice feature is that the tutorial on the Idle Heroes private server is deactivated, allowing you to dive straight into the heart of the game. However, we do not advise new players to try this version. It would be better to test the classic game mechanics on the basic version and read our guide to getting started. 💡

How to install the Idle Heroes private server on a mobile phone?

1. Allow APK installation. The Idle Heroes private server requires the installation of an APK (Android application package). It is therefore necessary to allow the installation of unofficial applications. As most phones block this possibility, you must manually lift the ban. Look in your advanced settings for the entry "Security" and check the box "Unknown sources".
2. Download the private server. There are several links, each corresponding to a server. You will find them on Mediafire or Reddit. Several versions exist but be careful to check your sources before downloading anything. The latest version of the APK dates from May 2020 and the previous versions could therefore be obsolete.
3. Install the private server on your mobile. Simply run the file once it has been downloaded.
4. Switch from one server to another from within the Idle Heroes game. By opening the game settings, you can easily switch from the official server to the private server. Some APKs also allow you to have two separate Idle Heroes icons. The classic and the Idle Heroes PS (Private Servor) version.

💡 Good to know, you need to follow the same steps on phone as on PC for players who use an emulator like BlueStacks to play Idle Heroes. The only difference is that on PC, you have to download the Idle Heroes private server from an open browser via the emulator. No need to try to download it directly from your classic Google Chrome or Mozilla homepage.

We have reached the end of our Idle Heroes PS installation guide. It's up to you whether or not you succumb to the sirens of a faster and especially free progression. But there's nothing to stop you from playing both versions at the same time for maximum fun 😉
