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
any tips for 3-3, why is this so hard 😄
Tried the op aura team and also got decimated
Maybe some block healing?
hm, will try it out
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
Maybe the perk that when you have 10 coins you get 3 coins. Wait for until you have at least 30 and start buyin
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!
oh crazy how did you start with 88 coins xD
I'm stuck there as well xD
used that talent, and didnt spend a single coin until i had 1 health left 😄
The limit goes up to 30 coins (so 3 times extra)
Think I have tried around 50 times with 0 luck
Any extra you can spend
My future
finally, beat the stage with this
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.
@cursive yoke ^ 4-4
Got lucky with my first round and got the two aura exclusives to 2*
Took quite a few tries
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!
Hi folks. I’m still stuck at 3-9 since forever. Any ideas? Thanks
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.
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
What's your guys' trick on 3-9? I'm having a hard time beating guinevivre
It’s a luck of the draw situation
stupid lagging rng bulshit
language please.
So 4-9 is the chokepoint?
@balmy marlin standard Aura team. Took a fair few tries. Getting to Advanced Finance talent helps a lot
I finally made it through 3-9, used mainly Shadow with the Wolf. But LOTS of RNG
@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
Hadn’t tried the finiance thing, but basically stacked 88 coins and prayed
Got it done 👍
Hey all, i could do with help on 3.4 hocahdir
Pretty sure it’s impossible right now
Im guessing the devs were trolling with this one then? It would not make sense otherwise
The very first round.
got thru that... stuck on 5-9 now
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.
How can I beat tactical adventure 2-8, the stunning is annoying
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.
I win 4-4 because Plate on my talethia, i stuck 4-4 4 days XD
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)
Any tips for 4.4? (Hvitar) I lose every match from the very begining
howthe hell do u combat guine starting at 3* and u r at 1* wth!!!!
have u tried economy passive? lose 3 health and then have88 coins to build team?
same as above
Savepoint 4-9🥲
I am going to be so ticked if I have to wait for the Shadow banner to roll around to get past 4-9 😠
Tips on getting past 3-9?
This @quaint jacinth
Which one is the economy passive? Did i overlook something
either get more when you have at least 10 (for each 10/20/30 you get extra 5/10/15)
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.
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
you need praying everytime
RNGod is too busy on listening 
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.
You are correct and this has been a big issue and report for new players.
Okay well good to know that it’s by design and I wasn’t missing something obvious. Thanks!
usually 10cent devs don’t think about players, they just need to meet their own KPI
Can someone explain this more for me?
what team are you running?
or what school has all your upgrades
i only upgrade for aura
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
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
yea no-one answering cos they bloody know it is true really not enjoying this at all
Stuck on 3-9. What’s your strategy?
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.
Which school works best on 3-9?
hell i cant seem to deafeat the black knight
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??
Lags sometimes, both PC and mobile
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
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
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.
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
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
the actual strategy is P2W ... most whales should have the max coffer
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.
Pumping the coffer is a new one to me 🤣
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?
Sometimes you gotta sweet talk it first.
The irony of creating a game mode with zero strategy but calling it by the name of the most strategic game ever created
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 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?
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
Guess it was 2-8 instead of 6
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.
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.
Thank you...everything was was easy then brick wall
Did nobody complain about the lack of strategy MagicChess provides? Seems that way.
What does look like in practice?
Submitting feedback?
A lot of people complained about it, but numbers speak louder than any words. I understand that, just sucks feeling left behind
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
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.
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.
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
I tried that numerous times before I binned the content tbh 😵💫
It was my only way to beat the stages to 5-9
Of course rng was also a big deal with that
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.
Yep, me too. Will eventually try again and hope for good rng.
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.
do we have 5-9 guide ? is so...... op comp with Anne + Aethereal, like bot cheating me 
“Rng” and “strategy” cannot both be used to describe the same thing
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.
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.
Right. The basics are there. But they need to think more about balancing pretty much everything.
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
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
show roster
@final ravine i win 5-9 right now, Thank you so much ^^.
Still can’t beat 3-9. It’s getting hard to believe I could be this unlucky with the rng and everything
I’m stuck at 3-9 as well
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.
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.
Ah ok. Thank you.
What sort of advantage do you get waiting to spend coins vs spending them when you have them?
Advanced finance gives you extra
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
Is there a video to this that I can watch?
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
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.
I see. Thank you!
Any tips for beating 4-4?
Same here. Tips for beating 4-4. Enemy gain more coins each round
Look above at my previous description. Best to use the element you did invest in the chess points
Is the only way to unlock schools besides Frost in magichess pulling the units for them ?
There are only some schools available
They will probably rotate in who is available
But generally the once that are slightly greyed out
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
This is kind of universal for 4.0 and onwards
Still getting easily demolished in 4-4
Hmm for me it was a bit rng and then had around 90 lvls into my main element I play
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.
You can reset weekly, use it wisely
Yes all invested in one
Oh wow, which one? Did you literally invest zero into all the others? Hard to do well in the daily rotating chess?
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
Do we think they will balance out the schools any time soon or are they happy with Aura dominating the game now?
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
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?
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☺️
Does any1 know how to beat 3-4 it seems so impossible
which element/school are you playing?
Dauntless/shadow/frost should I only be focused on 1?
Hi, how can we assist (or gent assisted) when we’re missing one hero?
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
Thanks! Same server is mandatory?
I think so
anyone have strat for 4-9?
That worked for me after some tries with aura and lvl90 legacy coffee
So without aura it isn't possible? Run shadow/frost and only won 2 rounds 3 or 4 times in 1000+ attempts. 😆
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
damn im not even lv 90 yet lol. i shouldve never spead my mats around
This is season 2 for me so far from having the champs needed unfortunately.
You can reassign points weekly
Just go to legacy coffer and then in the bottom left
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?
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
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.
oh wow thanks! i did not know this lmao
You're welcome 🙂
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?
Best strategy in general: #♟️┆magic-chess-strategies message
The stagnation of this group and the game mode as a whole hopefully will be enough for them to make some adjustments soon…
They need to open the gambit mode more often. I can never play because im either asleep or working
is it only me or this is not fun at all? wtf is this rng nonsense?
It's been covered ad nauseam, just scroll up a bit.
I have level 100 aura, but cant beat it ... just trying over and over again .. mode should be named "Rng nonsense adventure"
f it I am done with that 💩
Language please.
i try strategy 30+ coins..and one Nast last enemy had 100 HP..so close...it works...my Aura lvl and Dauntless 59
I used aura with hvitar ... but without Amoledia .. tried 30+ coins strategy, but no luck
Yeah I have no motivation to deal with that crap either
lvl 59 is not enough
focus on one of your best team and go to at least 80+
Ok will try ty 🙂
4-9 done with this team … level 100
5-9 same 💩 like 4-9 … cant beat it
I’ve been done with it for weeks
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 😡
Me too, Shadow + Annelisis + Caspar fibslly lucky with 100 point in Shadow.
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
My current conundrum. Missing Sleight but is he truly necessary?
Seems to be the most difficult out of all the schools
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
finally got this rank season one carried by dauntless
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.
Losing out on 12 stars just because I use an assist Saverio... not cool 🤣
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
