What am I playing?Īuto Battlers, or Auto Chesses - as they would be known if we stuck with calling it Auto Chess as a genre - are relatively new in the gaming world, entering the scene this year by way of Drodo's custom map on the Dota 2 Arcade, where it single-handedly reminded non-Dota players that Dota 2 exists.Īs a concept it's quite a bit older, however, hearkening back to Warcraft 3 custom maps like Pokemon Defense, which took Tower Defense and turned it into a hero-based team management game.
Since the first 2 of these are also Warriors, you could consider adding a 6-piece Warrior synergy to the mix, especially since Pirate Captain can easily be fit in for late-game potential.Maybe that fad will return, but it's not coming this year, because in 2019 we've got Auto Battlers like Dota Underlords, Teamfight Tactics and Auto Chess. The specific pieces you choose can depend on the rest of your setup, but decent picks include Werewolf, Tusk Champion, and Poisonous Worm. You can improve this synergy even further by adding two additional Beasts. Two of your druids, the Unicorn and the Razorclaw, are already Beasts, which gives you a 10% ATK bonus from the start if you decide to deploy both. Some good (and excellent) synergies to consider with a Druid team are: A 2/4 Beast (+ 6 Warrior) synergy A lot of the times, what you look for will, in part, have been decided earlier in the game, depending on your draws and purchases from the shop. Presuming that your economy is strong enough (which, by all means, it should be), you’ll have a bit of gold to throw at the shop in order to get the synergies you want behind your core Druid team. Possible Transitions to the Mid- and Late-Game To stop this from happening and bank on your early lead, you need to plan your transitions carefully. Because their synergy gives no actual bonuses during fights, Druids fall off fairly quickly during the mid-game. She also becomes necessary when you’re going for a Beast build.Įven if you lose a few rounds at the start of the match, once all of your druids are in, you will likely have the upper hand – for a time. Once she’s upgraded to 2-stars and 3-stars, respectively, she can be a decent damage dealer/tank against enemy units that are less leveled than she is. You still want to buy her from the shop because you need her to count as a number in your Druid synergy, but don’t count on her to bring home any chicken dinner. UnicornĪrguably one of the weaker units in the game, Unicorn is pretty squishy, does very little damage on 1-star, and will, more often than not, cast her heal at a bad time. When it comes to Druids, there are 4 pieces (all necessary) to keep an eye out for. That’s why it’s important to be aware of the functionality of individual pieces before you decide on your long-term strategy. Part of the fun of Auto Chess is that heroes are not just components for synergies, but have abilities and stats of their own. This means that you have to do some additional planning for your mid- and late-game transitions, but if you get it right, you can become an unstoppable force. Unlike the synergies we’ve tackled before, Druids desperately need to be complemented with stronger units once you leave the early stages of a match.
