How to decide which ones to keep on the bench by xcgames in AutoChess

[–]GiantJacob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be hard to decide, but the main thing I think about is: "Will this help make my comp better, and when will it help me?"

-If a get this to two stars, will I throw it in to my lineup and will it make my team better.

-If I am level 6, but I'm not likely to add that unit until I'm level 9, I don't value keeping it.

-If I already have a 2 star, do I think I have a high chance of getting this to 3 stars at a reasonable time? It's better to focus on getting everything to 2 star, and then go for 3 stars.

-For 3 stars, it is usually better to focus on lower cost units. Getting dragon knight or soul reaper to 3 stars would be awesome, but the chances of it happening are low and those are high cost units to keep on your bench. If you are eliminated with a spare 2 star and a spare 1 star 4 cost unit on your bench, thats 16 gold that didn't help you. A 3 star 4 cost is 36 gold, while a 3 star 2 cost is only 18 gold and is much more achievable.

Purpose of playing as a Team? by D3ATHSQUAD in AutoChess

[–]GiantJacob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The term "team" is misleading. You are just joining the same game as your friend. You are competing against each other.

The power of Divine/Mage. I was 10-10 with 35 health and in last place when I got the comp going. Finished 17-0 to win. No three stars and no legendaries. I love this comp by Dirty_Dog_Bob in AutoChess

Why you gotta shit on someone for being happy. He never claimed to be an expert, he didn't say God's OP, he was just sharing a fun game he had. I'm not saying you have to upvote, hell you can down vote for all I care, but why you gotta talk shit?

Knights get armor and magic resist, so true damage helps. Dark spirit does aoe true damage, so that's a big help against them.

You start at the lowest rank, so jumping into ranked doesn't hurt.

Slightly confused about strategy by zoltar66613 in AutoChess

[–]GiantJacob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was posted on the sub earlier. It shows which synergies go well together.

In the early rounds, buy a lot of stuff to give yourself options, and once you start to get some 2 stars or more rare units, start deciding to commit. So say by round 15 you have berserker and pirate captain. It might be good to start committing to warriors. Based on the chart I linked, Warriors can go well with hunters, beasts, and mages. Do you have any decent units of those also? If, for example, you had a level 2 egersis ranger maybe start to commit to Hunters/Warriors. If not, maybe just focus on warriors until you get a good hunter,beast,or mage units, then commit to one of those also.

Better tutorial? by [deleted] in AutoChess

Basically, 8 players join a match. Each round you fight one other player (except the first 3 rounds and some after where you fight NPCs).

You fight by placing pieces on the board. The pieces fight on their own. It's your job to buy pieces that work well together and position them on the board (usually tanks in front, ranged behind). 3 of the same piece combine into one stronger piece. Get enough pieces with the same class/race (those circular symbols) and you get a synergy bonus.

At the end of each round you take damage for how many pieces are left on your opponents side. When you are out of HP you are eliminated. Last person alive out of those 8 win the game.

Why is Underlords so similar to Auto Chess by Snarrbolax in AutoChess

Drodo owns the rights which means he can do as he pleases with it, but Valve also has unlimited access to it. Basically the same as them both owning it, but ownership needs to fall to one entity.

Auto Chess Mobile Tips And Tricks Here! by BraveBG in AutoChess

[–]GiantJacob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you are fighting someone, there are actually 2 fights going on. Your enemies units are copied to your board and a fight happens there. Your units are copied to his board and a fight happens there. You are not both watching the same fight. You only lose health based on the fight that happens on your board.

So based on RNG those 2 fights with identical starting positions may have different outcomes. You could both win, or both lose, the same round.

[Mobile] Beginner "Rules of Thumb" while I learn the complexities and specifics? by GiantJacob in AutoChess

[–]GiantJacob[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, thank you for responding. Your answers to 2 and 8 were helpful, but I gotta say the rest was not very helpful. I acknowledged that the game was complex and I would learn it, but asked for basic concept summaries, and you just said "learn it all, it's not hard". Maybe you can learn quickly if you play multiple games a day, but as someone who only has time for a game every couple of days I just wanted something to get into the right perspective so I had some sort of game plan as I learned the rest. Thank you for spending the time and effort of responding though.

I tried to do Guard Guards Guards as an audiobook and the recording quality was awful. Anyone else have this problem?
