In Clicker Heroes, there is a first hero, which is normally a hero for active players – Cid, the Helpful Adventurer.
I'm normally a passive player, which means I let the game run and just spent my money from time to time. But anyway, I just wanted to have an answer about the question, if it useful to upgrade Cid? Just expect that I would be an active player and I upgrade him. What is the benefit?
All heroes, except Cid, will gain a bonus after quite some levels (normally around 200+). This means, the heroes will get 4x the DPS every 25 Level. Cid is still at a very low rate, even if he gets to Level 1000. Is there no bonus for him? Why should I upgrade him (besides the fact that I get 1000 or more Level which will give me a half hero soul.)?

Depends on Active vs. Idle play style.
If you're Idle; 150 is as high as you need to go until you decide to ascend and pump levels into him to get hero souls.
If you're active; all your damage is going to be coming from him; so after you upgrade your heroes to the bare minimum to unlock skills; he'll be the only hero you upgrade (until you decide to ascend; and then pump levels into all the other heroes for HS)
