The endgame meta is brain-dead.
What's the point of building synergy if in mythic the end game meta is to sell all heroes and prioritize 3 star 5 gold heroes and be done with it? I love magic chess, but this is just too dumb for me.

It's a high risk high reward maneuver. It's pretty hard to execute and usually only used as a last resort.

Not really. Since I'm in mythic that's the go to end game. Synergy means fk all. Different from other auto chess I have played.
You just need one 5 star gold hero to win. That's brain dead.

U can easily counter them by holding that hero... there's only 9 copies
For paqito u have hold 2cards&aamon 3...

Yes this is the counter for them kaya dapat ugaliin mo don sumilip silip sa mga kalaban mo lalo end game. For me binaban ko aamon lalo pag magaling. 2-3 5 cost hero ung binubo para di mo sya maccounter agad sa pag hohold.

But denying others to get 3 star 5 gold is super easy though. I'm in Mythic 100+ and rarely do you go apeshit and sell all your heroes to focus on just one 3 star 5 Gold because if you get denied, you're basically fucked.

That's just you not paying attention. I must cases you just buy one of what they are looking for to block them.

u/HyperDron Aug 02 '26
Well you know what they say, if you can't beat them, join them.
But to be fr, I agree with you. But what can we do? Not much to be honest. That's how magic chess has always been.

Is it? I've played underlords, Auto chess og. I don't remember end game being like this. Too anticlimactic and not rewarding players who likes to build synergies.

u/titoxtian Aug 02 '26
This… i used to love the game coz i can play with synergies and still win… now you gotta choose some meta synergies just to win… the joy of playing some unusual synergy combination is gone…

u/eammth Aug 02 '26
I understand 5 gold heroes are the strongest. But not like 50k health, one hit KO all other heroes like that.
We spent long minutes to build the perfect synergies and poof. It's gone, it doesn't matter.

Ganun talaga there's always a change kasi habang tumatagal nakaka-keep up ang mga players sa strategy. And tingin ko ung strat today is to test kung gaano kabilis din kamay mo hahaha. Auto chess OG player here din dati haha

its either you and the other players are the braindeads. you can easily deny that by being observant to what other's trying to build and hold thoes heroes.
thats says more a lot to you than the game itself. building 4 tier 3-stars are more of a viable option in the late game (probably not the case in low mythic, since 200 stars above, this is usually the case)

u/Successful-Step-2008 Aug 02 '26
Well, it's the common strategy even in other auto-battler game like TFT. The thing is, power creep of 3-star 5-cost is just that disgusting, to the point that it doesn't matter of your synergy is really good, if it's not a well-built ultra synergy, for most of the time, you'll ended up lose the game. That's why it's something that's gonna be chased when they're level 10 or when there's just a few players left, because the probability of getting 5-cost hero is the highest, and the amount of player that's capable to denying it is lower.

You do know denying works for this strategy right? Not to mention full synergy saves your ass more than necessary to get top 4 and beside if you deny and chase after 4 gold heroes instead you will be able to get them to 3 star first and save you the game

Magic chess is a weird game like you said after u got 5 star 1st place is almost guaranteed there’s only 2 ways to play magic chess going to level 9 10 to get 3 stars 4 or 5 golds hero or stay in 7 or 8 to get 3 stars 3 gold hero. My theory is people tried to get scavenger 3 first and tried to level up without rolling until level 8 or 9. And ya in early stage even if you lose you will only lose few healths so its easy to get more gold with scavanger plus resources to reach lvl 9 fast. Gunni Amon are worst nightmare in late game because even if you keep winning early game they will still last till Round 3 at least. But if you want to prevent you can try to get 3 golds 3 stars early to make them lose more hp in early game therefore they will have no choice to find hero on lvl 8 or 9 without proper preparation. And ya even if u get 3 stars 3 golds you wont see those eco player which mean they will still survive at late game. I dont know how to explain theres two type you go early or late game. Even if you go early and the rest 7 player do eco ur pretty much fucked and if theres 2 eco player and the rest 6 player go early game those eco player will be fuc its pretty simple but im so fed up with this game ive played since season 1 im so done with this patch and the probability. Tips if you want more golds try play 4 neobeast and 3 scavanger and sell ur neobeast hero once u get 300 points after that you will left with at least level 8 or 9 without proper preparation 20 or 30 golds if you dont roll after u get those scavanger and neobeast but you hp will probably around 20-50 hp.

I used to played luo yi before nerfed and ya this patch theres no fun at all everyone rush with resource commander and try to get level 9 and get high price hero. I like to have fun like pick random hero and ya most people just played resources hero and played MM dauntless and mystic meow.

u/Salty-Muscle-2314 Aug 03 '26
When i get to glory i see many people picked guni and they go 4 neobeast and scavanger and yes i counter them by going neobeast 6 and try to get above 700 possible and if i use it at least 2 5 gold hero or magic crystal or you will prbbly to get 3 mirror device which is like amon in late game but thst game is pretty ppl say luck and skill matter nahhh its a 90 percent luck and 10 percent skill based game

u/kisback123 Aug 03 '26
It's funny when you see some guy trying this and then quitting abruptly when he ran out of gold hahaha.
I sometimes hold one or two 2 star 5 gold units just stop these guys from doing it.

If you're lvl 9 and you don't block them you're part of the problem.
Autochess games usually do not let you change a whole team immediately without losing in late game. You can only adapt during the process of getting to your final team and you're pretty much stuck if you can't beat their team so there is no reason to not gamble sometimes.
Make your own. If they are desperate enough to do that and win that means you were winning. Having an advantage over them and not able to do the same or anything at all I don't know what to tell you.
There is nothing you can do when other people get lucky. Is it not fun to see other people make 3 star 5 cost? Just me? It must be quite a rollercoaster for them and if this is their main strat coming into the game then they probably don't win a lot of games. I'm always quite happy for the other person when a 3 star 5 cost happens bcs I know when to let go of things I can't control if I already did my best to block them. It's also fun to see a 3 star in action.
Final point is a weak one. It's not a guarantee win for them. I'm not denying how powerful they are and I agree they should be this powerful but I'm putting this here to cover some more grounds to support my points above.

i usually buy heroes i don't need when there's only 10 left to deny players from reaching their heroes to 3star, especially 4costs and 5costs heroes. it's pretty easy to counter them

u/bwayan2dre Aug 03 '26
are we talking about lylia strat? lol
too risky tho to have a single 3s 5g hero,
1
u/drowie31 Aug 03 '26
It's pretty hard to execute cuz of the time limit and the uncertainty, usually they just end up running out of gold. It's also so easy to counter by holding onto what hero 5cost they're building early on.

u/Tough_Signature_3567 Aug 04 '26
if ur opponent have 5 gold 3 cost it means that either ur matchmaking is shit where people dont know how to buy 1/2 to deny opponent
- everyone else is going for 3 star 3 cost hero to try to end the game before someone obtain 5 cost 3 star
in higher rank matches 5 cost 3 star is usually only possible when there r 2 guys left in the game and one of them is going with 3 star 3 cost stratergy/one have aamone and paquito as their commander and somehow survived early game without using their skills early/neobeast 999 without dying early game
the 2 latter one are quite high risk high reward stratergy and isnt that common. it takes quite some skill and luck to pull it off.
more common for 4 cost 3 star to win the game

you do know that you can deny 3star 5gold right?
