Dota 2's Auto Chess custom mode is a remarkable success story. First off, it's not even an official Valve mode, but a community mod. Secondly, it's absolutely taken off without any backing, whether that be marketing, promotion or otherwise. It's drawn in tonnes of strategy-minded players who've either lapsed from CCGs like Hearthstone or those seeking a break from the traditional MOBA experience found in, well, Dota 2 itself.
Valve obviously doesn't mind, though. As long as players are enjoying Dota in any capacity, it's fine with Auto Chess' scucess. It also helps that Auto Chess is a fantastic remix of Dota's universe, borrowing its heroes and abilities, and adapting them into a game defined by strategic micro-battles against both players and AI alike.
Not to mention there's incredible depth to the game too. There are many races to choose from, multiple players per match, creep waves to take on, item upgrades to find, an economy to manage and much more. It's home to a plethora of chess pieces (based on Dota's heroes) and classes, each with their own traits, stat bonuses and potential combinations.
For many, the prospect of playing Dota Auto Chess can be a daunting experience. It's a steep learning curve as there's nothing really like it out there, and tool-tips aren't exactly in abundance, meaning that you've largely got to figure things out for yourself. Basically, it's a bit of a nightmare to get your head around what you're doing right or wrong if you're coming in fresh.
One of the keys to success in Dota Auto Chess is knowing what units are stronger than others - just like Dota 2 or any other hero based game for that matter. To give you a better idea of what's considered hot or not right now, we've put together a tier list which ranks all of the units in the game.
This tier list isn’t definitive by any means and is only meant to give new players a better idea of what races or classes may be considered better than others.
When it comes down to it, the RNG nature of Auto Chess means it’s important to be flexible and switch strategies on the fly. This means some races or class combinations which aren’t considered top tier can still be extremely strong in the right situation.
