[feral smelt]

Need help for stage 4-9. Any idea, advice?

So in the first round, the opponent uses kurvida, guin and natjenka at lvl 3. Whether you win or lose, the next round she will upgrade her units and bring Saverio and the rest

I managed to win one round, and this is her last lineup.

Except seyir and natjenka, all at lvl max

[mighty pivot]

any tips for 3-3, why is this so hard 😄

[dapper scarab]

Tried the op aura team and also got decimated

Maybe some block healing?

[mighty pivot]

hm, will try it out

[dreamy kestrel]

Have a feeling it's an artificial wall to stop players from progressing till some upgrade etc is done.
I also keep failing at 4-9. Regardless what I try. Not a single battle has been won

[cursive yoke]

Maybe the perk that when you have 10 coins you get 3 coins. Wait for until you have at least 30 and start buyin

[mighty pivot]

tried that as well, i waited till i was 1 health, i had like 80 coins or something, still wasnt able to beat first wave 😄

i mainly have frost characrets and aneleis with aura epics, i have some randoms as well, but not a big rooster

oook, started with 88 coins, beat first round noe!

[cursive yoke]

oh crazy how did you start with 88 coins xD

[earnest haven]

Does anybody have tips for Hvitar 4-4

[cursive yoke]

I'm stuck there as well xD

[mighty pivot]

used that talent, and didnt spend a single coin until i had 1 health left 😄

[cursive yoke]

The limit goes up to 30 coins (so 3 times extra)

[earnest haven]

Think I have tried around 50 times with 0 luck

[cursive yoke]

Any extra you can spend

[cursive yoke]

My future

[mighty pivot]

finally, beat the stage with this

[haughty path]

Upgrade Frost as much as you can w/ the coffer - I was Level ~32 when I beat this. To get the first win after 3 losses, team was Hvitar, Anne, and the 3 frost guards. Get Hvitar leveled as fast as possible. She needs to be 4-5 star or you're dead. Pick dmg based drops. Anne next important, guards are just to delay and bait Wild until Hvitar can ult. Placement as follows:

After that, add 2 more frost, either 2 marksman or 1 planeswalker and whatever. Level up guards as much as you can and cross your fingers the Wild stuns don't hit Hvitar.

Or, level up the Path to get the legendary Treasures and hope the one that gives you CC immunity drops.

[balmy marlin]

@cursive yoke ^ 4-4

Got lucky with my first round and got the two aura exclusives to 2*

Took quite a few tries

[modern moth]

I’m glad it’s not just me stuck at 4-4, I thought I was going mad…………and I nearly chucked my laptop out the window in frustration!

[tepid oxide]

Hi folks. I’m still stuck at 3-9 since forever. Any ideas? Thanks

[elfin elbow]

4-9 definitely looks wonky and like a deliberate wall. The coin cost on each turn is about triple what I can put out.

A 3 star and two other recruits first turn is crazy, and it doesnt get any better from there on out.

[balmy marlin]

What did you use for 4-8? Got disconnected just as I was about to clear it with Hvitar team but took ages to get the right rng

[deft crypt]

What's your guys' trick on 3-9? I'm having a hard time beating guinevivre

[minor glen]

It’s a luck of the draw situation

[plain mountain]

stupid lagging rng bulshit

[pine tundra]

language please.

[nova citrus]

So 4-9 is the chokepoint?

[elfin elbow]

@balmy marlin standard Aura team. Took a fair few tries. Getting to Advanced Finance talent helps a lot

[tepid oxide]

I finally made it through 3-9, used mainly Shadow with the Wolf. But LOTS of RNG

[elfin elbow]

@deft crypt Guin is mostly pretty simple: bring 1 star bait so she ignores your important characters. Park someone relatively useless off in the far corner and Guin will jump over there and then fight your front line

[balmy marlin]

Hadn’t tried the finiance thing, but basically stacked 88 coins and prayed

Got it done 👍

[tribal oar]

Hey all, i could do with help on 3.4 hocahdir

[balmy marlin]

Pretty sure it’s impossible right now

[nova citrus]

Im guessing the devs were trolling with this one then? It would not make sense otherwise

The very first round.

[versed hare]

got thru that... stuck on 5-9 now

[vital kelp]

I'm somewhere on chapter 4. It doesn't feel like strategic gameplay at all, it feels like artificial power spike. Progress at this point is linked to legacy coffer, and even if I can get to chapter 5 I already see that there is a major imbalance between enemy power and mine.

I understand that progress here is supposed to persist across seasons and that I should't necessarily expect to beat the whole thing in a season... But it just feels like an entire new and separate system of power upgrades on top of the existing systems.

Progress hasn't related at all to team building for me, it's literally just dependent power upgrades in the coffer.

[elfin edge]

How can I beat tactical adventure 2-8, the stunning is annoying

[haughty path]

2-8 is wild, right? They only stun a couple of your heroes. Add some bait heroes near them and rng they don't get your mains, or select the resistance treasure if it drops.

[storm steeple]

I win 4-4 because Plate on my talethia, i stuck 4-4 4 days XD

[chilly atlas]

Any clues how to clear 4-9?

[modern moth]

4-4 FINALLY done !!! 🫩🫩🫩

[onyx tundra]

5-9 team , gear 20sec cant ulti and 120 resistance, at start lose 3 round get token, third round update to 6 (got 10% mythic gear)

[vapid void]

Any tips for 4.4? (Hvitar) I lose every match from the very begining

[regal flume]

howthe hell do u combat guine starting at 3* and u r at 1* wth!!!!

[random swallow]

have u tried economy passive? lose 3 health and then have88 coins to build team?

[random swallow]

same as above

[blissful bridge]

Savepoint 4-9🥲

[haughty path]

I am going to be so ticked if I have to wait for the Shadow banner to roll around to get past 4-9 😠

[quaint jacinth]

Tips on getting past 3-9?

[random swallow]

This @quaint jacinth

[pure briar]

Which one is the economy passive? Did i overlook something

[cursive yoke]

either get more when you have at least 10 (for each 10/20/30 you get extra 5/10/15)

[zealous crag]

I think we're all stuck on 4-9. The only way to beat it is to keep dumping levels into your main coffer. I'm up too level 69 in Aura.

[vital kelp]

Yeah this is why I think that Chess is a misnomer... So far there has been very little strategy in the entire game mode

For the pve section, the only strategy so far is lose 3x then build your team, for pvp it's play meta and coin flip who gets better artis and DMG rolls

Other than that just stat dump coffer

[lavish sigil]

you need praying everytime
RNGod is too busy on listening

[maiden ember]

Am I missing something or is it difficult to come across the cards for chess? I can’t even fill out my 10 cards for the rotating element challenge. The only one I can fill out is frost.

[vital kelp]

You are correct and this has been a big issue and report for new players.

[maiden ember]

Okay well good to know that it’s by design and I wasn’t missing something obvious. Thanks!

[lavish sigil]

usually 10cent devs don’t think about players, they just need to meet their own KPI

[quaint jacinth]

Can someone explain this more for me?

[coarse jetty]

i cant pass 4-9

have anyone on the same spot?

[final ravine]

what team are you running?

or what school has all your upgrades

[coarse jetty]

i only upgrade for aura

[modern moth]

Ok, I am now firmly of the opinion that this is a complete waste of time and effort……..to begin with I thought, yeah this looks interesting and fresh, but after running level 4-9 I don’t know how many times, and having tried to follow the very few CC guides out there, I am positive that this is the worst pile of RNG *%#+ that there can be!

If you don’t have the hero’s (I do) and you don’t have the buffs (I’ve never seen them) and if the RNGods are not with you (they rarely are ever) then you will NEVER progress in that content!

Not for me, not unless the Devs start looking at what they are doing and actually seeing it for what it is

A casino of bad RNG and shorter tempered players walking out the door

I’m done

[regal flume]

evening all well i love this game so much but if u dont hve hrvitar u r screwed on this stage guinevere is just stupid op i have tried to follow cc's advice but i donthve hrvitar so i am screwed. have to say devs u made this too bloody hard

[regal flume]

yea no-one answering cos they bloody know it is true really not enjoying this at all

[quaint jacinth]

Stuck on 3-9. What’s your strategy?

[dawn light]

for 4-9 you can do with aura, 4 guardians (hochadir) and talethia. You need good equipment also, I had to do around 20-30 tries to get both good equipment and lucky draws. I was only around level 60 when I did it.

[quaint jacinth]

Which school works best on 3-9?

[raven raft]

hell i cant seem to deafeat the black knight

[worldly moon]

Anybody else experiencing heavy lag on Magichess pvp?

I can't allocate resources before the next round starts and I get stomped

Are people seriously lagswitching a mobile app??

[kind sandal]

Lags sometimes, both PC and mobile

[kind sandal]

School that you into.
I complete with Shadow + Annelisis + Joker (anyone with stun ability would be nice).

About 30-40 times takes for me. Very depending on positioning heroes on Battlfield

[kind sandal]

I loose with 1-1 in my best try with Shadow + Annelisis + Joker (Kaspar or what his name).
Equipment is a main key.

69 level for Shadow

[formal linden]

Hey everyone what’s the best strategies for 2-10?
New player it doesn’t let me use a lot of my heroes for it & I got no supports in the full line up they offer.

[quaint jacinth]

Any strategy changes besides just replay the same level 40 times and hope you get lucky??? Doesn’t seem like a very strategic game mode if this is everyone’s strategy

[vital kelp]

So far there's not much strategy involved. The biggest strategy is stacking coins with 3x loss and then building a team.

Then it's all rng or pumping the coffer

[lavish sigil]

the actual strategy is P2W ... most whales should have the max coffer

[stable latch]

Chess Dojo 6 3 Star Strat, no coffer investment: Get Usha 2 stars at the start. Restart until you do. Keep building her after. She just survives and wins by default.

[quaint jacinth]

Pumping the coffer is a new one to me 🤣

[teal jolt]

I am brand new. I got my first new characters but it won't give me the option to put them in my deck. Do I have to be higher level or something?

[vital kelp]

Sometimes you gotta sweet talk it first.

[quaint jacinth]

The irony of creating a game mode with zero strategy but calling it by the name of the most strategic game ever created

[gritty sentinel]

I had high hopes. Can’t build a decent competitive team without paying I see. My aura team only has 9 characters asI don’t have the premiums and then with the community banning the only legendary I do have means the team is not competitive. I do like the Magic Chess option but it’s arduous now. And the times to play PvP are not really Ireland time friendly. What are your thoughts?

[haughty wigeon]

Is there a reason to get stuck on tactical 2-6 been playing a couple dayd

Days

[haughty path]

@haughty wigeon Some of the stages are a pain. I'm been stuck on 4-9, probably can't pass unless I get Hvitar's artifact or pull Aethereal. Don't remember what 2-6 looks like. What's the lineup? What team are you using and what level is your legacy coffer for that team?

[haughty wigeon]

I will try to get a pic, but I get stunned and they teleport

I was using hoshadir and lossenia and some starters only have a couple days in

[haughty wigeon]

Guess it was 2-8 instead of 6

[haughty path]

When you start the first round and before you hit Ready click on your opponent's icon in the upper right corner. It'll show you their starting lineup. I won't see the positioning, but it's better than nothing.

But honestly, you might have to just wait on more heroes, more levels in the coffer. Frost might not be the best to start with, either since they really need Hvitar or Auster. If you have any Wild sorcerers they might help. They stun an enemy at battle start and there are some epic and rare ones.

[haughty path]

OK, so Caraman is the backline jumper, plus 2 on your team will be stunned at start when you get to later rounds. This might be a level where you just need to wait and build teams + coffer. If you want to keep trying, rng will need to be in your favor. Best strategy with Frost for this team is to have low-level bait units that hopefully are the ones getting stunned and hit by Caraman, and a couple of high level units to do the dmg. I'd pick Lossenia and Vidimir for dmg. Plan on losing the first round or three and get them built fast. Add two of the frost guards to keep the rest off them longer and one other 1-star frost for your bait as you can. Add additional bait units once the basic team is up and able to win. Pick the haste treasure if it drops - it'll help some with recovery after a stun.

[haughty wigeon]

Thank you...everything was was easy then brick wall

[quaint jacinth]

Did nobody complain about the lack of strategy MagicChess provides? Seems that way.

[nova citrus]

What does look like in practice?

[quaint jacinth]

Submitting feedback?

[vital kelp]

A lot of people complained about it, but numbers speak louder than any words. I understand that, just sucks feeling left behind

[modern moth]

I would be interested to know how many players are just not using the levels content now, I certainly haven’t bothered after server day 4 mebbe………stuck at 4-9 and I might take a look later, but I doubt it

[lavish harness]

Hello I am stuck on 2-9 in the strategic magichess I need some help these are the units I have available I was flying through it easily but as soon as I hit 2-8 I came to a very sturn stop. Any help will be very helpful.

[haughty path]

I'm stuck there also. Frost coffer at 100 didn't help - I can get one or two stages clear and then get wiped by Kurvida. Can't seem to get a decent treasure to drop. Probably could pass w/ Hvitar's excl, but I never picked it up.

[cursive yoke]

A strategy could be to only choose the first hero then safe until you have 1 heart left and of course equip the passive that lets you get extra coins with money saved up

[modern moth]

I tried that numerous times before I binned the content tbh 😵‍💫

[cursive yoke]

It was my only way to beat the stages to 5-9
Of course rng was also a big deal with that

[quaint jacinth]

I don’t feel left behind necessarily. I more so feel like it they don’t care about my (our?) suggestions. I also breezed through MagicChess until I got to 3-9 and came to a grinding halt. I have played 3-9 probably 200 times all resulting in failure. I have tried every single combo of heroes I can think of. It’s gotten to the point where it’s a full stop dead end for me.

[haughty path]

Yep, me too. Will eventually try again and hope for good rng.

[haughty path]

Finally through 4-9. Had to pick up Aetherial to do it w/ Frost and no excl for Hvitar. Final stage was Hvitar, Aethereal, Anneliesis and Vidimir 5-star, Hochadir and Olgan 4-star, Auster 1-star. Also needed the mythic treasure where you parry the 1st 15 hits. Basic strategy, use Advanced Finance throw 1st 2 rounds, get as much of the team built as possible reserving 30 coins (expect to lose). Then use all coins to continue building. Focus on the dmg dealers. The 4 guards get a buff to help them defend. Even with this, barely squeaked through.

[storm steeple]

do we have 5-9 guide ? is so...... op comp with Anne + Aethereal, like bot cheating me

[quaint jacinth]

“Rng” and “strategy” cannot both be used to describe the same thing

[haughty path]

Sure they can. You strategize to take advantage of the best/worst of rng. Plenty of games have that. Magichess struggles because there are absolutely zero ways to strategize to compensate for rng on some of the levels. Either you get the perfect treasure drop to hamstring your opponent or you don't. Hero choice, levels and placement still matter (still can lose with perfect treasure), but won't get you a win on their own.

[quaint jacinth]

Agreed. But like you said at a certain point strategy disappears. You could have every hero leveled all the way with high inspiration and have perfect placement and still never win due to bad rng.

[haughty path]

Right. The basics are there. But they need to think more about balancing pretty much everything.

[final ravine]

you field 1 unit and lose 3 matches in a row while trying to field 5-6 units by second artifact selection and then pray for the 20s can't ult orb and 120 resist legendary one

also put 1 low hp unit in the middle to draw the aggro from the jumpers

[meager walrus]

Is there a basic team I can use for tactical advantage 3-4, ive been stuck on it for like a week and cant progress my journey

[final ravine]

show roster

[storm steeple]

@final ravine i win 5-9 right now, Thank you so much ^^.

[quaint jacinth]

Still can’t beat 3-9. It’s getting hard to believe I could be this unlucky with the rng and everything

[brazen rover]

I’m stuck at 3-9 as well

[wanton bear]

I don’t understand how you were able to level everyone up so much. I throw the first 2 rounds but best I can do is a couple level 4 and the rest level 3. I am using advanced finance.

[haughty path]

That lineup is the final one I ended up with when I won - if you aren't at the point where you're only one round away from passing the stage, then you won't have yours leveled that much. If you are at that point, I can only think that you're spending too many coins on round 3. I reserved 30 there, but then didn't try to save any from then on.

[wanton bear]

Ah ok. Thank you.

[quaint jacinth]

What sort of advantage do you get waiting to spend coins vs spending them when you have them?

[stable latch]

Advanced finance gives you extra

[final ravine]

with advanced finance you get extra 3/4/5 coins for being at 10/20/30 coins when round ends, so you sacrifice first 2 rounds, then field 5 or 6 units for a chance at good artifact (artifact rarity chance increases with units fielded), and then you'll be at 20 coins if you fielded 6 units or 30 if you field 5, then lose another round, get a godlike artifact, and win the rest

if you get the epic treasure powerup first you can be at 30 coins while fielding 6 units on round 3

then you just roll down everything on round 4 to upgrade your main dps champs and win out

[dusk venture]

Is there a video to this that I can watch?

[cursive yoke]

not even that

buy the first that is free

loose until you have 30+ coins

whenever you buy a hero or space for heroes don't go under 30 coins

until you have 1 heart left

then all out buy

the passive with more coins doesn't have an additional value after 30 saved up coins

so you can buy prior to that and just don't have less than 30 coins

[wanton bear]

Anyone know where to get the rewards for the honor duel rankings. I looked yesterday and it said it was going to settle today but now that icon is gone from the screen.

[dusk venture]

I see. Thank you!

[quaint jacinth]

Any tips for beating 4-4?

[brazen rover]

Same here. Tips for beating 4-4. Enemy gain more coins each round

[cursive yoke]

Look above at my previous description. Best to use the element you did invest in the chess points

[spare crane]

Is the only way to unlock schools besides Frost in magichess pulling the units for them ?

[cursive yoke]

There are only some schools available

They will probably rotate in who is available

But generally the once that are slightly greyed out

[quaint jacinth]

I already looked back and couldn’t find anything referencing 4-4. Also, I have invested my chess points into every school, not just one. Please tell me I’m not crazy for doing so lol

[cursive yoke]

Haha you’re crazy xD

You can freely reset like once a week or so

[cursive yoke]

#♟️┆magic-chess-strategies message

This is kind of universal for 4.0 and onwards

[quaint jacinth]

Still getting easily demolished in 4-4

[cursive yoke]

Hmm for me it was a bit rng and then had around 90 lvls into my main element I play

[quaint jacinth]

Lvl 90 is insane is that just all invested in one element or what? I have one at 59 and all the others at various lvls lower than that.

[stable latch]

You can reset weekly, use it wisely

[cursive yoke]

Yes all invested in one

[quaint jacinth]

Oh wow, which one? Did you literally invest zero into all the others? Hard to do well in the daily rotating chess?

[cursive yoke]

I only invested in Aura

Daily rotations did not go well with other elements around lvl 9 or so

That’s where I don’t have 3 stars anymore at least

[quaint jacinth]

Do we think they will balance out the schools any time soon or are they happy with Aura dominating the game now?

[modern moth]

I would say Frost and Shadow are equally as strong in Magichess Tavern but I have no clue on the other content as I am still stuck at 4-9 and haven’t bothered with it for weeks tbh

[kind sandal]

Shadow level 9 or 10 in Daily challenges. How devs decide to beat 2 Sagomir's in first round and +3 dudes in second??

I don't have a clue how it is possible for healthy amount of time.
Almost 100 points in Shadow school, and only 5% chance to win first round against Sagomirs (Saverio L3 + Ozul L2). If i don't get eighther of them than this is immediately restart (which isn't present as a button in a match, so very time consuming). And why there is no 'deployment' option to choose from? It is only doable with L3 Saverio + L2 Ozul, i tested about hundred times. Why wasting my time on devs ill fantasy??

The more i play the more i see how disrespectfull devs are. Money means everything, player comfort and joyness - nothing. So why to play this gacha?

[cursive yoke]

Well like any content it is about luck, strategy and often times repeat content multiple times (also testing a lot).
You are free to not play certain content or leave the game at all if you’re not satisfied with how things work in Dragonheir☺️

[silver dagger]

Does any1 know how to beat 3-4 it seems so impossible

[cursive yoke]

which element/school are you playing?

[silver dagger]

Dauntless/shadow/frost should I only be focused on 1?

[cursive yoke]

I focused on one

Then start to diversify

[wild thorn]

Hi, how can we assist (or gent assisted) when we’re missing one hero?

[cursive yoke]

Have friends on the same server put heroes in their "display"

Settings -> your display -> show heroes there

It is limited at 3 heroes at a time

and it might take some time to show in your Friends Assist list

[wild thorn]

Thanks! Same server is mandatory?

[cursive yoke]

I think so

[astral moat]

anyone have strat for 4-9?

[cursive yoke]

That worked for me after some tries with aura and lvl90 legacy coffee

#♟️┆magic-chess-strategies message

[carmine owl]

So without aura it isn't possible? Run shadow/frost and only won 2 rounds 3 or 4 times in 1000+ attempts. 😆

[cursive yoke]

My guess would be it works with frost as well lvl 90 and anneliesis behind aethereal

But my guess would be that you need hvitar as well

[astral moat]

damn im not even lv 90 yet lol. i shouldve never spead my mats around

[carmine owl]

This is season 2 for me so far from having the champs needed unfortunately.

[cursive yoke]

You can reassign points weekly

Just go to legacy coffer and then in the bottom left

[quaint jacinth]

Is it worth resetting chess points to invest in just one, for the off chance that I’m free for the ONE hour every day that I can play other people? Or is it more worthwhile to invest in multiple schools to try and progress the daily 2 tries?

[cursive yoke]

We will probably reach 2, 3 or even more schools up until lvl 100. If you want wyrm rewards then you should focus on one school

I would say if you want to farm higher stages get 2 or 3 at the max (depending on rotation) to increase your chances in getting one of the weekly to higher lvls

as soon as you can get 3 different schools to lvl 100 you might want to change some weekly to do other elements

[haughty path]

Confirming it does work with frost w/ Aethereal, Hvitar and Anne. Don't think it will work without both Hvitar and Aethereal. Aethereal doesn't take out the team in one hit, she needs Hvitar as cleanup.

[astral moat]

oh wow thanks! i did not know this lmao

[cursive yoke]

You're welcome 🙂

[hard rivet]

I am on Tactical Adventure 2-8 I can't stop the insane damage and stun each round then all my characters die can anyone pls help?

[turbid plover]

Best strategy in general: #♟️┆magic-chess-strategies message

[quaint jacinth]

The stagnation of this group and the game mode as a whole hopefully will be enough for them to make some adjustments soon…

[fading pond]

They need to open the gambit mode more often. I can never play because im either asleep or working

[plain mountain]

is it only me or this is not fun at all? wtf is this rng nonsense?

[stable latch]

It's been covered ad nauseam, just scroll up a bit.

[plain mountain]

I have level 100 aura, but cant beat it ... just trying over and over again .. mode should be named "Rng nonsense adventure"

[plain mountain]

f it I am done with that 💩

[pine tundra]

Language please.

[rotund finch]

i try strategy 30+ coins..and one Nast last enemy had 100 HP..so close...it works...my Aura lvl and Dauntless 59

[plain mountain]

I used aura with hvitar ... but without Amoledia .. tried 30+ coins strategy, but no luck

[void cairn]

Yeah I have no motivation to deal with that crap either

[sudden rivet]

lvl 59 is not enough

focus on one of your best team and go to at least 80+

[rotund finch]

Ok will try ty 🙂

[plain mountain]

4-9 done with this team … level 100

[plain mountain]

5-9 same 💩 like 4-9 … cant beat it

[modern moth]

I’ve been done with it for weeks

[modern moth]

I have a full Aura team and other that Anne and Tally they are all i5 with Anne on i3 and Tally i2 the buffs set to 100 and still it’s not achievable

So in the immortal words of a seriously annoyed person from back in the day, sod it. It’s not worth the hassle

Another good idea poorly implemented and communicated by the Devs 😡

[kind sandal]

Me too, Shadow + Annelisis + Caspar fibslly lucky with 100 point in Shadow.

[sudden rivet]

Why everyone thinks that only level matters ?

You put all your points in aura, but maybe this school is not the good one

and sometimes mix of school is necessary

[stable latch]

My current conundrum. Missing Sleight but is he truly necessary?

[stable latch]

Seems to be the most difficult out of all the schools

[frank rune]

Well played.
Trying to push the différent schools but i'm stuck...
Lvl 100 with aura but only 2 stars from lvl 9 to 12...
Am i missing something ? Is équipement or artefact count ?
Thanks

[jade fox]

finally got this rank season one carried by dauntless

[stable latch]

I don't even remember now because it's the first one I cleared. But it probably was an Aemon rush. I don't have the artifact.

[stable latch]

Losing out on 12 stars just because I use an assist Saverio... not cool 🤣

[acoustic salmon]

The progression stalls so hard at this one with the lower points they give for non first place finishes. I think im just chilling in this rank and will stop for the season lmao
