every time i play this it just reminds me more and more of gem td and the rng just drives me insane even if it gives you more ways to mitigate it than gem

Looks like reddit has figured out how Doom and Laguna Blade are targeted.
https://old.reddit.com/r/AutoChess/...nas_laguna_blade_are/?st=jrkzjmlx&sh=65e7d844
Long story short, in order to minimise the chance of a unit being Doomed, you should bench that unit and then place it back on the board. Then Bench a unit you don't mind getting Doomed and place it back on the board. The unit has to have an active ability to be a Doom target.

I actually found a bug awhile ago that I don't know if they fixed. If you place an extra unit on your board it gets pulled back in before the round starts. BUT that unit still goes on to fight the other teams. So I had like a 4 person team on my board but it was 5 person on one of my opponent's board. Kinda risky since you don't know which unit it'll pull out, and could kill synergy.

It's frustrating but it seems fair

"feature"
I think they're the best single combo in the game, especially if you have a TA and Slark. Once you hit the 6 bonus with them they just devour all. Slark is great cause not only is he a beast of a unit, but you just need to add Naga Warrior to your team and now your assassins have a magical resistance bonus which they need.
OP
OP
i think they have very strong theoretical performance but all the knights and warriors and mechs just soak so much that you really do need the most broken assassins with survivability to make them worthwhile. i have tried them a few times and it just feels so feast or famine, and by wave 20 i am just not able to penetrate big tanky teams anymore and get my ass kicked
my decision making needs a lot of work though so im sure its partially me, i just find so much more success with dependable buff dude and cc strats, with trolls or warlocks
You gotta have the 6 bonus by then, and if you don't have either Slark and especially TA it's going to be risky. Then either have them backed up with warlocks or some beefy knights.
yeah, part of my problem is trying to force the dream too hard so i end up with maybe a level 1 ta and slark but also just a buncha dross. like i had 6 bonus with a level 1 ta and slark and what, a l2 bh and a...l1 crix and pa and some garbage? then three random warlocks...im sure my placement is bad too, and my opponent reading
bonuses are hella good but then you also need to use smart decision making on the rest of the comp

I've had great success recently by not forcing any particular strategy and instead looking for the best $3 and $4 cost units that I can get upgraded to 2* quickly. I always take TAs and LDs for example no matter what strategy I'm in. They are just too strong. I usually just ride out the early game with whatever 3 cheap warriors, goblin/mech, or druids and then transition into the best units that are given to me without re-rolling so that I can build my econ. Once you get to donkey level ~6-8 and the final 4-6 players hopefully your economy will allow you to finish units and synergies while your opponents are broke.
It's already based on a mobile game, right down to the spellcasting mechanics.
Here's an example of some good strategy and forward planning you can do in this game with looking at opponents: so I'm off to an early lead, and I notice the one other person that's similarly doing well is going all-in on assassins. As a result, in the mid-game, I made sure to pick up every TA I saw, AND grab Queen of Pains since he was trying to build towards a level 3 with 2 level 2's already. I also swapped from mechs to orcs for my frontline since I saw many others grabbing the mechs, so my chances of 2-star-ing/3-star-ing them were slim. As a result, when we got to the end game, he had no TAs at all, AND was still stuck on 2 level 2 QoPs and 2 level 1 QoPs, while I was able to make a level 2 myself. It's stuff like this that can really give you the edge in games if you're able to pull it off well.
Auto Chess has a placement system and items (which have their own build combinations). And most importanly this is a drafting game.
This is very much it's own game, despite similarities to other games.
Auto Chess is? Which mobile game? Would love to play something similar on the go.
Can confirm Techies bomb, or at least it looked faster than last time. Flanked with Tiny and Jugg so I'd get more time.
I thought I might lose that for a while until I got enough XP to put him in. Lvl 3 Tiny surprisingly clutch.

IDK I had a front line Techies and he couldn't get it off, mb he was stunned or some shitCan confirm Techies bomb, or at least it looked faster than last time. Flanked with Tiny and Jugg so I'd get more time.

As I said, it's just a brawler adapted to a single session format.
This is not something that would be commercially viable.
Try Heroes Charge, Food Fantasy, etc. It's actually a very popular genre in China. They have gacha metas though.
But you are wrong. This is much more. The draft alone makes it a different beast. What you are describing are gatcha games. This one has a huge esport potential. None of those mobile games have that.
I looked those up but they just seem sorta like general gacha games. I think the main attraction of Auto Chess is the drafting/"deck-building" part inbetween rounds.
Whatever this game is it's crack. I don't think I've ever had a "one more game" feeling for a game that is as long as this.
OP
OP
Yeah I can lose a day on this cause it's perfect to play while watching something. It's also fun to play with friends. Cursing each other for stealing your units or braking your streaks.
Guarantee you this has zero chance in the market, nor does it have any eSports potential.
OP
OP
Never into Dota, but I'd like to get into this. It seems half of my friends are playing this game.
Considering Auto Chess is made in China and takes inspiration from mobile games popular in China... you already got it?

It's actually surprising that some company hasn't copied it and used like Marvel or Naruto heroes or something
Dyrus (ex-LoL pro streamer) has literally been streaming Auto Chess for over 20 hours straight (with a brief TSM LoL obligation that he completely forget about until mid-stream, so he just kept streaming Auto Chess until then). It's crazy to me how many streamers are legitimately addicted to this game, though I understand the feeling xD

Oh shit, muh obligations

IMO the genre is too niche for a paid title, and I don't think there's a compelling F2P monetization model to be applied to the game. Also, as the hero brawler genre has been around on mobile for a while and is waning, publishers and investors already know the ceiling for a product like this.
I think best case scenario, an indie studio self-publishes, but it's still going to be a year+ endeavor with minimal returns, if any. So basically, if there's no compelling business case for the game, it's not going to be a viable product.
My 2c.
Also--
Is lvl1 Techies the single biggest pickup you can get?
I've only seen this thing shred.
i love accidentally deleting units
maybe i will play enough to get a new courier this weekend, i have like 12 candy or something

Slark is a trap. Unless you get lucky and get a lvl 3 slark, you are just causing the rest of your team to take more damage while he is invisible, which is half the time.
ALso, with proper positioning, you can negate assassins. They all die to aoe.
They are great midgame, but once there are 9 units, they lose their punch.
OP
OP
slark is an easy naga synergy which seems good though, i just basically put him on the front lineish area to soak initial salvo then he would just shadow dance it all away and go hit the back line
mostly i just hate slark because if your team isnt putting out enough dps he cant die and sometimes 1v3s. i feel like shadow dance was broken and giving him regen out of stealth but maybe he just had a goblin buff on or something

Man, I need to learn how to manage my endgame economy better. Last game top 2 hit lvl 10 way faster than me.

i knew the aoe was strong but i honestly underrated kunkka just because i kind of hate him, i will begrudgingly incorporate his dumb ass i guess
and try to use a token assassin to eat boats
need to work towards combatting aoe spam.even if i got first last night with a decent mage team. which in retrospect i shoulda played that second razor because he is nuts
