Thank god about the units properly reflecting items in their stats now. It could get confusing sometimes. Excited to try Dragons out now.

I don't think Dota familiarity is really needed. The viability of the units don't always correspond to how it is in Dota, and there's nothing like the alliances and team compositions in Dota 2. It's confusing because it is a lot to take in at once. Familiarity with the heroes helps of course, but you'll have to relearn how they work in this game.

Interesting that part of the KotL nerfs include raising his ability mana cost to 150. I think this is the first ability in any auto-chess game to cost more than 100 mana? Don't see a problem with it but a cool precedent.
Also Pipe of Insight (1 cell AoE 400 magic dmg shield item) has been added. Doesn't say what tier the item is but likely an auto-pickup if facing any mage opponents.

Ah, so itxs not up yet. That means I can continue to blame my defeats on balance issues and RNG! Yay!
yeah those were a waste of a slot - good patch notes all around
Is 15 one stars per unit in the pool accurate?
Patch notes look good. I like a team that benefits from a smaller board, Kotl needed the nerf, and Boots are not worthless. Dragons looks very flexible now too.

Nope, at least not for $1/$2/$3 units. I don't think the Underlords numbers have been revealed yet but here is the breakdown for DAC:
45 1$
30 2$
25 3$
15 4$
10 5$
And I was hoping to hit big boss before a new patch. Hit boss 3 today and can't play anymore and now I have to learn a new meta tomorrow without loosing too much.
Whoever in here was doubting tier 5 heroes, I just won a game during lunch today with Tidehunter and Gyro. I was in last for most of the game until the final 4, then I moved up to third, and slowly worked my way to the end.
The Tide and Gyro both stayed level 1 most of the time, but I got two more tides a couple of rounds before the end, but I don't think that made or broke my lineup.
Tier 5 heroes are good.

So I think my main issue is the timer, and finding the right point to switch strats. Played 5 bot matches on medium, and it went swimmingly. Queen of Pain, Tinker, Brawn/Warrior Synergies out of the wazoo, I was dominating for 20 rounds straight. And then that venom fucker and the Horse Riding git popped up and I was swept away. I had time to think so I got to be able to think my way through the game, and it became obvious I need to be quick on my feet, but I just can't. And its also becoming increasingly obvious as I said that mid game you need to switch strats. Inventors can get out of the way, but gold mining with the scrawny perk if the RNG loves you is invaluable. However that does beg the question, is there even any room for the scrawny alliance to even be there at the late game?
So yeah, I really hope we get a timerless mode. Would it be arduous as fuck, almost too long a match? Sure. But I would LOVE a more focused, perhaps 4 player timerless game with a much more open hero pool for lots of mix and matching in the game.

They are I think people overrate completing most of the synergies a lot vs the value of units that doe aoe/stun or both.

Omg. I did it. Didn't want to work and needed to make sure I didn't fuck this up. Lol RNG Blessing me
🙏
I did a few easy and medium bot games but just jumped into rank. And learned as I went
This was a fun round, went into round 42 or 43. Last opponent and me both kept winning against each other on our own field, prolonging the game enough for me to rank up half my board to 3 stars.
Yeah sometimes the best play is just to keep two 2* instead of upgrading. Really depends on what you've got in your bench though.
They are, but in my case I hardly ever get the chance to upgrade them.
I also feel CM is kinda overlooked. She adds tremendous value to a lot of setups, especially skill-reliant teams.
My last win was pretty amazing with a summoning team:
- Crystal Maiden
- Nature's Prophet
- Lycan
- Venomancer
- Arc Warden + Refresher Orb
- Treant for the EZ druid 3* upgrade
- And 3 rotating filler units.
I was hoping to get a 2nd CM/NP/Arc up, but no ball.
Got lucky with a summoning stone and Refresher Orb, but I had to dump a lot of gold in exp to stay alive early in the game.
Gonna keep trying out different comps.

I think these 2 are new since the notes this morning:
- Scrappy Alliance: Now provides 8 armor and 9 health regeneration. It provides double that amount if your starting army is smaller in size than your opponent's.
- Knight Alliance: Now gives a constant 15/25/35% damage reduction and an additional 20/25/30% when next to another knight.
I did something really similar where I had TWO trolls with bashers each absolutely stun locking everything, I assumed a level 3 would be worth it there but i ended up losing quickly when I combined to 3

TFT (Riot's Autochess) info if anyone wants to try
Note: There'll be a Level 10 requirement for TFT on the first day(today) and game starts will be throttled.

The knight buff is excellent, Dragon Knight+Puck+A random knight for the alliances and maybe this combo can start doing some damage.
Opponent Hero Pieces remaining+Round stars. I don't remember the scaling but after round 22-23 the round damage is -3 to your health.
First game with the new knights... that was pretty crazy. What was really fun was the Gold Hoarder + Age of Chivalry buffs. Thought I had a clean sweep but a player came back towards the end. We were losing to each other in the final rounds but I managed to squeak by.
just won my first game in the new patch, also using the new knights (with warrior and troll ridiculousness)
it was like 34 rounds as well so I basically won from the start
just completely steamrolled too. I think shadow shaman was the only casualty in the last 10 rouunds. Won with 91 health left

Just had my favorite game yet. Demons have been my favorite alliance/tribe/race since Auto Chess, and I try to go with them whenever possible... to mixed effect. But this time, I managed to get TWO sets of Strange Bedfellows and a tier 3 Terrorblade! I was wiping out entire teams, that had two more units than I did, with that boi! <3
I really don't understand how the rank up system works. I placed fourth and I ranked up from Outlaw V to Enforcer II.
OP
OP
How many matches have you done?
Apparently first 25 it's still calibrating and more stable after
I have no idea. I'm at 19 hours played though, so I might be at 25 or close. 🤷♂️
Did some searching, apparently you need to get fourth or higher to rank up after Upstart.
OP
OP
I'm pretty sure it's like interest. +1 damage for every 10 rounds.
Oh man I messed up my build and position and just gave up and ended third.
I had to go the update tab and pull down until it refreshed the new version
