Magic Chess: Go Go is a brand-new game by Moonton, although the foundation for it was set over 2 years ago with the Magic Chess game mode in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, a superhit MOBA developed by the same. The auto-chess mania has long lost the shine it once had post pandemic but the genre is still favoured among hardcore enthusiasts. For fans of the genre, we have curated a highly veteran sourced list of tips and tricks that will definitely boost your overall rankings in the global leader board along with helping you organize your roster of heroes. Let’s begin!

Tip #1. Choose the Right Commander for your Team

The initial step in this game is to gain a powerful Commander and then either build a decent lineup around them or select a commander that strongly complements your lineup and synergy. Your commander is highly crucial in your matches, and you should use them wisely to obtain an advantage. When it comes to commanders, this game provides a varied selection, including several not found in the original Magic Chess mode.

The commander mechanics are noticeably different; each commander is endowed with both passive and active skills, as well as insignia. For example, commanders like Layla have two separate passive abilities. Lukas is currently extremely powerful, thanks to his ability to turn the Sacred Statue into a Sacred Beast, unleashing a shockwave blast that hurts and stuns your enemies for 1 second.

Tip #2. Activate Faction Synergies

Understanding the game mechanics are one thing but making use of them in real-time goes to show that you have mastered the art of auto chess. Faction synergies are essentially boosts that you allot to heroes from the same faction. At the time of writing, there are 10 different factions, each having multiple heroes of different rarity. Conjuring up a line-up from the same faction gives you a significant advantage over using random heroes.

If you’re not comfortable with using heroes from only 1 faction, you can even mix them to gain multiple faction synergy boosts. The faction synergy boosts start from having 2 heroes of the same faction deployed but can go up to 6. Hence, you can use 2 heroes from different factions as well to gain 2 distinct faction synergies affecting the 4 deployed heroes. However, it is more convenient to deploy 6 heroes from the same faction as it empowers all deployed heroes instead of only 2 or 4.

Tip #3. Participate in the Commander Star Trail

The best way to get access to more commanders is by participating in the Commander Star Trail. This mechanism allows players to obtain a variety of commanders for free by collecting star trail points. Similar to the growth path in MLBB, commanders appear consecutively along the star trail. To unlock their star trail points, each commander must meet various prerequisites. Once you’ve earned enough points, you can use them to unlock a commander and continue your quest to reach the next one.

As you advance further down the commander trail, you will come across commander choice bundles. These packages allow you to use your earned points to choose a commander from a specific group included in each bundle. And collecting star trail points is simple; you can earn them by completing challenges in the Go Go pass, competing in classic or rated matches, or attending upcoming events.

Tip #4. Refer to the Gallery When in Doubt

During your learning course of the game, you will often come across different commanders and equipment that you have no idea what they do. The game has over 50 different commanders, and the strongest one’s are often popular but overlooked. To solve all such problems, Moonton has dedicated a complete encyclopaedia of all commanders, gear, factions, and more in one single tab called “Gallery”. As a new player, we would highly recommend players to go through it for more in-depth information pertaining to commanders, heroes, and gear.

Tip #5. Lock your Shop in-game for Effective Purchase

This tip is exclusive to Magic Chess: Go Go as the game has just introduced a new feature wherein you can lock your in-game shop. This feature comes in use when there’s a strong line-up of heroes you can recruit but you do not have enough gold to purchase them. Locking the shop guarantees that the shop will not reset after the next round is over, giving you ample opportunities to get your desired heroes. This feature comes in clutch during intense ranked games.

Players can enjoy playing Magic Chess: Go Go on a bigger screen of their PC or Laptop via BlueStacks along with your keyboard and mouse.
