That is why you can go bounty hunter instead and get your assassins going. It is pretty insane that there are 4 goblins and 3 mechs that are under 2 stars or less.

I think that happens when you haven't updated to the newest version yet, had that happen to me a couple times before I stopped and let it update.

I wonder if Valve has considered hiring the devs and making this an official part of Dota 2. Might not be possible though since the dev's are Chinese though who knows, Valve is expanding into China.

Sadly that's it
I speculate it is DOTA3, but Drodo can name their price and their terms.
Oh good. Tiny was absolutely the worst character in the game, and TB was a monster. They need to change Tiny's ult too, that toss ends up helping the enemy more than hurting. They've adjusted mages yet again, damn they're going to be monsters.
Yep that's how it's done. It's awkward but that's the point since time management is a big part of the game.
I could see it staying in DOTA2, after all it's not the first time Valve has added a different game mode to one of their GaaS. TF2 got the MVM hoard mode and CSGO got a battle royal Danger Zone mode.
Welp, I just did a 2nd huge binge to get up to Bishop 1 from mid-Knight ranks. The "one more game" feeling is just too strong. So many hours flew by as I tried to understand more and more concepts and lineups. I've found that that mage buff was quite potent. A common starting strategies is building into Warrior, so you can completely destroy those comps with an early Mage lineup.
I tried doing the ridiculous 9 Warrior lineup for that maximum armor buff, and it worked surprisingly well to land me 2nd place in a game, that I might have been able to turn around if I were faster acting/knew what I was doing better. I would consider it a legitimate late-game option (when you have all 10 slots available) if you've been offered enough Warriors to get the majority of them to 2*. By that time, your plan is basically to have that 1 last slot be a flex for whatever your opponents are doing, and taking advantage of either racial traits or just Templar Assassin. I think the biggest one is making sure you have a 2* non-Warrior Naga of any kind to get the magic reduction bonus, so that you're not completely blown out by mage setups.

Hearthstone, Dota 2, and Artifact are dead:
Long live Auto Chess?
The deaths of at least one of the aforementioned games may be exaggerated. Although I will say MtG Arena being a thing now vs. Magic Online, Blizzard's rounds of incompetence in the past year or so at least, and other competitors completely bombing (including Artifact) in the digital multiplayer card game genre has seemingly greatly diminished Hearthstone's staying power, and Auto Chess is apparently quite a factor. I haven't seen sustained building hype for a unique mod gameplay experience in years. Last thing was maybe the origins of the Battle Royale genre which was 6-7 years ago now. Otherwise the next closest was probably the origins of Dota itself as a WC3 mod. I'm a bit too young to remember the initial Counter Strike craze myself, but that would be the other most major comparison I think.

Thank goodness for creep rounds. Just had a game, where I was dominating most of the game, until the late game, when a a 5% health guy mounted comeback and made it into the top 3 thanks to his Assassin/Mage line up. Unfortunately he wasn't able to kill all his creeps and was knocked out by a single hp.
One of the mistakes I had been making recently was I was saving and leveling up to 10 way too fast. Since the drop chance for the lower tier pieces is reduced at higher level, I wasn't able to find enough low rank pieces to combine into 3 stars and was stuck with a bunch of 2 stars.
Also, finally managed to save up enough to roll a new Jellyfish Courier.

Auto Chess is addictingggggg. Love this game, I do wish the item system was worked out a bit more though. Going through rounds 1-3 and getting a cloak while the first guy you play in rank 4 has a rank 2 CK with 2 quarter staffs and a mask of madness is kinda ridiculous.
OP
OP
I wouldn't worry about leveling up to 10. It is better to get 9 great units than to have 10. Obviously if you get a good 10th unit, upgrade to lvl 10.

Depends when you deploy them and who you mix with
I find that mages are super weak early game, but you pair them with warriors or meatshields and they own
I think having orc synergy, mainly Beastmaster specifically, is key to getting that synergy off the ground since he's basically the only early game melee hunter. Combined with Axe or Juggernaut early (and all 4 orcs in the late game), he becomes decently tanky while also benefitting from the hunter buff, letting him potentially become a carry in the late game.
OP
OP
Naga, Tide, and Beastmaster all have abilities that make them good even if they weren't hunters.
The 3 star hunters all have abilities that take forever. I never pick them up
Drow doesn't have an active ability, so she just constantly spams attacks. Plus, no one ever picks her, so she levels up easy.

damn. This game is super solid. I think I like it better than all the card games I've played already.

Well we already have a ranking system for it. Menus? No thanks, should keep most of the operations confined to your carrier.
I hope people hold off on a full version for awhile. The game is still evolving and I think if you add too much it'll lose a lot of it's appeal. I can't see them being able to add many more units without it making it way too easy to get a build. I guess they could scale up the amount of players though, 50 person auto chess?
OP
OP
A couple of coats of paint and a real localizer would do wonders
That would be nuts, I'm not sure how the internal RNG would work since you get heroes that your enemies do not have more often
Why are you against a basic menu? Having the option the launch the game for itself without going straight from dota to match would be nice.
Where is that ranking system? :)
OP
OP
There's also a menu item in the top left hand corner with the top in the world, like King and Rook
I watched a bunch of streamers and there are some links in the OP.
There are some Engrish instructions in-game.
It's easiest to just play because there are a lot of things that are hard to gauge.
IDK that's just me.
Just launch dota and go to the arcade tab, should be the first listed game there.
I just started to play that's it. Really all you need to know:
- 3 of the same level unit will combine into a higher tier unit.
- Each unit has a race/class, hover over the raceclass and it'll tell you what bonuses you get if you have X amount of unique units of that race/class.
- Your level determines how many units you can have on the board.
One of those games that's just going to take trial and error to get.
Ahh I see thanks for the reply. I'm gonna spent the rest of my life playing this now thx :P
Won a game yesterday with mainly assassins, if you get lucky early you can definitely snowball them versus most other early starts.
Game is definitely still super fun and I wish I was better at it, takes time to learn when to drop stuff you're going for, when to go for the value picks, etc.

WARRRIORSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I also managed to get second with a team of 9 warriors. Unfortunately it doesn't leave you room for a lot of CC so you get swept in the later rounds.
Saw the Giant Bomb video on this thing and I might have to try it out. No interest in Dota whatsoever but this seems like a cool deck builder type deal
This game has been eating my free time the past couple weeks. I've made 1st place once.
I can't stop.
I can't stop.
I literally played this game for 20+ hours straight yesterday, and I learned my skills deteriorate by hour 15. Went from a Bishop 3 to Knight 6. I'm also staying in Japan at the moment, and my god is the Asian pub meta so much more aggro compared to Western meta I've seen on videos and streams. I've been conditioned to level up round 4 (right after creep rounds) if I don't get a 2 star to not get completely blown out...
