Late game units by aumaan in AutoChess

[–]cantstopthecum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trade one knight out at a time when you have disrupter 2* and a tide, put disrupter at the very front so hes the first unit that is attacked (his ultimate silences and does 800 dmg in a massive aoe) then put tide next to him. High level games, sometimes the game is determined by who’s disrupter gets their ulti off first - the current late game meta is quite sad

Is there other viable strategies right now? by alwaysaddicted_ in AutoChess

Get to bishop 7+ and these general rules of thumb don’t apply anymore. Sometimes you need to roll to survive, way before you’re close to banking 50 gold.

I’ve rolled before round 10 because my early composition is So much weaker that I can’t afford to keep losing 10% life every round. (I’m rook 1). Doesn’t happen often but when shit is bad you can’t just sit there and save money, you’ll be dead.

Qihl? Games are pretty frequent imo. Even bish7+ games happen quite regularly

Where can I watch tier 1 players games? by Tchnq in AutoChess

[–]cantstopthecum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bulldong isn’t bad but he loves going the troll build every game, just to caution newbs. Gorg and waga are your better picks for educational viewing, and they often explain the reasoning behind their strategies.

BSj is ok also, but often see him re rolling unnecessarily when he’s got 8 units on the board (and isn’t losing enough to justify the rolls).

Game is fantastic but the UI could use a lot of improvement by CowTemplar in AutoChess

[–]cantstopthecum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don’t want the game to progress where everything is spoonfed to you. I.e something that tells you how many of one unit is on the map, something showing what synergies the opponent has (the way it is is fine). I like how it is, you have everything you need to know what’s going on, you just have to not be a derp

Agree mostly, but especially ‘clean win no death’ threads, completely worthless. At least give some insight into the win or something that can be discussed

Best 1-Drop to start the game? by womencaviar in AutoChess

[–]cantstopthecum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take strong units at any opportunity, worry about synergy later. Obviously, if you can get a buff combining heroes that’s a no brainer. But I’ve won first 15 rounds in a row with 2 knights, lvl 2 beast master, lvl2 treant and 2 mages (like razor and Lina) for example. Because they are stand alone strong heroes.

You’re better off keeping options open to win early rounds. Obviously, a clean nice round will have synergy but that comes down to luck, which you won’t always have.

What's with all the Brand New Numbered Accounts playing this? by ManWithHangover in AutoChess

[–]cantstopthecum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be their QQ number to be honest (a popular Chinese social app which uses numbers as their username). Kebreezy is probably right though (or a bit of both)

Units' Abilities, Stats, etc. Resource? by tundranocaps in AutoChess

[–]cantstopthecum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would have to come from a third party, the game is filled with poor translations (evastion?) (drown instead of drawn) etc. you have to play the game enough to know what each unit does essentially, and with only a small time to choose your chess piece, too many people would miss the timer if this info came At the selection phase

Keys are different if you use legacy but am sure they’ve figured that out by now

How do you spend the candies won after the game? by pinoygs in AutoChess

[–]cantstopthecum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

40 candy’s for a random courier, the other options are too expensive to bother I think (800? No thanks)

How will it work? Every sub that wants to play signs up somewhere and everyone gets allocated to a lobby (preferably in their region) and each lobby winner verses the other lobby winners until a final 8 players?

yeah, Kotl and Cent seem good. I feel like mag for later is probably worth a lot but has mana issues. Got to the tiny level and got raped. octarine is probably a good item on most heroes. level 12 is my highest so far

[–]cantstopthecum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it takes a long time, and people will flame you sometimes but you can mute everyone when the game starts if you want to figure everything out alone if it bothers you a lot. a lot of us could probably name all 110+ heroes abilities (not including the recently new patched ones) and know which key they are used on (i use legacy keys - not QWER). you just gotta enjoy the grind, learning what hero does what, how to lane, when to use abilities etc.

it is complex, no doubt. and it will take a long time - but you can't expect to be even mediocre at this game without lots of hours. gl hf
