Magic chess Mobile Legends: guide, top build 2024

Magic Chess is a game mode in Mobile Legends based on strategy and tactical thinking. You will face 7 other players on a chessboard-like battlefield. In each round, you need to buy heroes in the squad, equip them and make a competent arrangement in order to defeat your opponents. You also need to monitor the amount of gold and dispose of it correctly.

In this guide, we will cover the main points of the game of magic chess, as well as show the best character builds for this mode. It is the characters and their correspondence to each other that play a key role in the battle.

The heart of the squad - heroes

At the beginning of the game, there will be icons with characters in the box of fate - this is how you choose a squad. As planned by the developers, a detachment from one faction should go. But often unrelated characters fall out of the box.

You get three characters of the first level. New heroes are bought in the store with gold, which you get after each round. Save it up to acquire strong characters or those who are exactly what you need for interconnection.

For each commander level, you get a bonus place on the chess board, up to 9. Increase it with coins, or wait - at the end of the round, the cost of the level is reduced by 2 coins and can reach zero. You can get an additional 10th place from the chest that appears every 10 rounds.

You can expand the composition with the help of small commanders. For example, Fanny sets up a catapult that sends one hero onto the battlefield. Leila places a small copy of itself that attacks opponents. Together with the extra space from the chest, the entire squad will include 11 characters.

The main way to buy units is Shop. After each round, you will have a preparatory phase where the Store will automatically update. The cost of a hero is between 1 and 5 gold coins, and the probability of obtaining more expensive characters is always displayed at the bottom of the store. In addition, the probability increases with the level of the commander. You can reload the store yourself if there is nothing to buy. Each upgrade costs 2 coins.

If the store has the necessary heroes, but you do not have enough money to buy, you can disable its update. To do this, click on the lock in the lower left corner of the store.

Little commanders

At the moment there are more than 20 commanders. Each of them has 3 unique abilities, one of which is used in battle. At first, only the first skill is available. But the more you play as a certain commander, the more experience he will gain. This way you will be able to unlock 2 other skills. Or open everything at once, if you buy a skin for the commander.

Their abilities give an advantage and influence the course of the battle. Remy, for example, gives extra gold. Eve increases the protection of the characters.

To change a skill or learn more about it, go to the main chess menu and click on the skill icon next to the hero's image.

Economics in chess

You can endlessly change heroes in the store and look for the right ones, but sometimes it only brings losses. Save early in the game to get extra coins per round. For accumulation give additional gold:

• 2 coins for 10 gold;
• 4 - for 20 gold.

Keep at least 20 gold in reserve for the maximum bonus if you are not in danger.

Both winning and losing streaks give bonus gold. Therefore, in some cases, intentionally losing is a good strategy. Winning streaks prevent the Commander from losing health and will often win the match. In any case, saving in the early stages is necessary.

You can always sell the characters you don't need in order to return the gold and acquire another hero. Please note that upgraded characters with two and three stars may cost less. For example, you spent 8 coins to build a character, and you only get 7 when you sell it.

Factions and roles

Each hero has their own faction and role. There are currently 11 roles and 11 factions available. In the screenshot below, a table from the game, it reflects the dependence of the characters on each other.

You can always view the table during the game by clicking on the icon in the upper left corner of the screen.

Best Builds

To win in this mode, choose the right heroes and combine their classes and factions. Next, consider the top builds for magic chess, with which it is easy to win opponents.

Kadia River Valley + Wrestler

This is the best combination with balanced attack, defense and control. It is almost universal and suitable for any match. The following are recommendations for characters that are best to use.

• Kadia river valley: Chu + Akai + Wanwan + Luo Yi + Zilong + San.
• Fighters: Chu + Biter + Yin + Masha + Aldos + Badang.

Fighter + Light of Renunciation

This combo is also very popular due to its long CC and increased attack speed. Heroes from this build deal high physical damage and can stun opponents.

Here are the hero recommendations for this build:

• Fighters: Yin + Chu + Biter + Masha + Aldos + Badang.
• light of renunciation: Yin + Xavier + Julian + Melissa.

SABER + Weapon Master

To play a match with this build, you need to think about the placement and pool of characters. We need to strive to ensure that the team has 6 characters from the SABER faction. This will activate the passive ability of the class and two strong robots will appear on the field.

Here is a list of heroes to purchase:

• SABER: Freya + Layla + Saber + Raphael + Johnson + Cyclops.
• Weapon master: Freya + Julian + Zilong.

Can be assembled north valley (Freya + Franco + Bane) instead of Weapon Masters. At the beginning of the round, opponents will be knocked down by ultimates. And after the destruction of the robots, Freya will appear on the battlefield with full mana. This gives her high speed, attack power and defense.

Mage + Necrokip

This build focuses on dealing high magic damage to the enemy. A full Necrokip build gives these heroes a second life and a full mana charge.

Heroes used in combination:

• Mages: Faramis + Kagura + Esmeralda + Kadita + Julian + Cyclops.
• Necrokip: Faramis + Vexana + Leomord.

Character Placement

Another strategic element of magic chess is the correct placement of characters on the battlefield. The best option to aim for is a bunch of shooters, mages and assassins in the back line, as well as tanks and fighters in the front line. However, you need to pay attention to some specific rules, as well as the composition of the opponent.

1. Assassins and swordsmen move immediately to the back line. This means leaving the tank or DPS behind to protect fragile heroes.
2. Pay attention to the opponent's peak. If there are characters with massive damage, such as Luo Yi, be sure to increase the distance between the characters.
3. Be careful with the far corners of the map. Put a hero with a high attack range there. Otherwise, he will waste time moving around. Keep in mind that Franco always aims his hook at the edge of the map. If you put Layla or Xavier there, Franco will take them to the middle and they will die quickly.

Items and equipment

In magic chess, you can equip your heroes with items. There are several ways to get equipment - defeating monsters that appear every few rounds, as well as falling out of the chest.

Try to determine your game strategy as early as possible in order to choose the right items. There are many different types of equipment available, so it's important to know the characteristics of each one. Pay attention to the passive abilities of items, as they give good bonuses to health, defense or damage.

Each hero can have a total of no more than 3 items, so try to equip only the strongest characters.

Details about each item can be read during the match. To do this, click on the armor icon, the equipment book will open.

stellar core

On the round 8 and 14 three stellar cores are given, one of which you can take for yourself. It increases the corresponding relationship and gives a passive effect. When you have fully assembled a faction or role, you can hang the core on one hero with the appropriate relationship.

stellar core cannot be changed, removed, removed. Therefore, carefully study their characteristics and make the strongest hero the carrier of the core.

The choice of fate

This chest is often called by players Box of Destiny. It is available every 8 rounds and provides a randomly generated pool. In it you can get:

• Thing.
• Character.
• Relationship.
• Additional place.

The commander with the lowest remaining HP chooses first. Save for the first few rounds to be the first to pick your reward. You are guaranteed to get a good item for your character or a rare level XNUMX hero.
