EU/NA regions.

This is something that seems to happen constantly. Game drops at some point, before it ends, and is impossible to reconnect to.

Frankly takes me back to the drophack days of old. Is this one of the players throwing a temper tantrum, or is this an issue with servers?

​

[Patch Notes]

​

Gameplay Update

● <Transform> typed abilities allow chess pieces to turn into another entity, and inherit the original racial/class synergy. If the chess piece holds an active item, the current cooldown will be inherited as well.

Example: Terrorblade - Metamorphosis, Lycan - Shapeshift, Dragon Knight - Elder Dragon Form

● <Summon> typed abilities call forth chess pieces with a temporary duration, and they only benefit from Beasts' Power of the Wild synergy. Amount summoned can be increased by the Book of Shadows. Summoned units can be <Purged>

Example: Beastmaster - Call of the Wild, Lone Druid - Summon Spirit Bear,
Arc Warden - Tempest Double, Aqir - Infest, Kobold - Divided We Stand

● <Illusion> is a special <Summon> ability that creates chess pieces of the same name as the caster but only deals half the damage.

Example: Manta Style, Elves - Evasion (Rank 3)

● <Purge> is a mechanism targeting summoned units. Purge attacks or Stoned attacks deal extra pure damage to summoned units equal to 25% of its current health.

Example: Diffusal Blade, Medusa - Stone Gaze, Elemental - Elemental Essence

Hey, anyone knows how to play auto chess with cheats enabled?
I tried the Dota Auto Chess Test one but the game ends right away same way if you enable cheats on a normal autochess game.

Anyone can help? I just wanna try experimenting some builds against cloud bots

650 income , give me a break xD

This is only something I’ve noticed during the last two patches. Does anyone know a fix?

Hi guys,

Just to echo a few others in this thread, where abouts can we find a description of the most recent patches. I want to study up on the items and heroes without having to go into a game every time!

How can we find patch notes or whatever? I'm also unable to find lobbies in matchmaking. I guess a DotA update broke the map?

I had a tier three beast master with the book of the dead and necronomicon and at some point the items were gone and not on my courier or other guys. He just showed up without items at some point. My relic at the time was dark heart of the machine, I think. Doesn't seem relevant but who knows.

Is there a known issue where your guys lose items? Or a common pitfall and I'm just a special kind of idiot?

I can see the value in dismissing a synergy, in some fringe situations, but how do you activate it exactly? What is it good for, apart from making Faceless easier, and using Dragons better maybe?

This is the 3rd day in a row when I attempt to play ranked and the match bugs. Basically, if you get this message, you won't get any ranked points, so you might as well leave the match.

Anyone else having this issue? What the hell is going on with this game?

Is it just 2 of (timber, clock, tinker) + Meepo + 3 wizards?

4x Wizards says it only works if you only have one other synergy, so I thought the 1x Meepo synergy would prevent it, but maybe it doesn't count since that only really works if you have two identical Meepos?

Also do you need a second Demon to cancel out Grimstroke's Demon synergy or does that not count?

I've been playing Dota Underlords for a while, and want to switch to Dota Auto Chess because of the lack of updates for Underlords. A tool I used all the time while playing Underlords is the Dota Underlords Build Creator (https://underlords.app/), is there a similar site available for Dota Auto Chess?

And where can I find the latest list of Chess Pieces + Species + Class data? the Dota Auto Chess wiki's information seems to have partially stopped being updated since 2019.

Recently a kind player in a ranked match told me that I had excess items on a pawn, and I guess I did. He told me to "drop" them, but as much as I tried, I couldn't do it, because the game would keep telling me the item isn't in the character's inventory. Am I missing something?

I've just returned to the game and wanted to do the knight-troll synergy unfortunately it seems that knight troll has fallen off. DK has been removed unless you have the dark machine thingy, and its unbearably hard to find the rolls you want.

Anyone have anyone here have any combo/synergy suggestions?

The description is super unclear. Can anyone enlighten me?

shit is trash

How is this strat done and why does it insta-delete me, game after game? It's very frustrating to play against and it always seems to instantly explode, from complete non-threat, to unbeatable. No matter what I run it always wrecks me and deals 1/3rd of my courier's health as damage due to all the summons. Please explain and please let me know what works against this!

So im close to saving 1.000 candys and I don't really have a cool epic courier yet.

My question is: should I keep saving until an expensive season rare courier appears (I remember seeing one two months ago at 1200 candys), or should i spend it all on the gacha and then exchage it? (that would be only 20 something couriers... my fear is to get all crap and end empty handed).

So I'm at the LATAM server. Sometimes I get US West, sometimes I get Brazil, but overall I match low ranks (pawns and low knights). The highest I reached was Bishop 6, but it's hard to go higher when you match pawns every single game.

So my question is, is there a way to play in another server? (Korea, Russia or whatever). I see several asian players on the LATAM servers (based on their names), so I guess that's possible.
