Dive into the thrilling world of Magic Chess: Go Go, an auto-battler strategy game by Moonton, crafted within the universe of Mobile Legends. This game blends chess strategy with hero-based tactics, allowing players to build formidable teams using heroes from the Mobile Legends roster. Despite being a fresh release, Magic Chess: Go Go revitalizes the familiar auto-chess gameplay with unique twists. This beginner's guide will illuminate the key mechanics and highlight the distinct features that distinguish this game from its peers. Let's get started!
Understanding the Gameplay Mechanics of Magic Chess: Go Go
Magic Chess: Go Go is a spin-off from Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), a popular MOBA developed by Moonton. The developers have taken the beloved "Magic Chess" mode from MLBB and transformed it into a standalone game, enriched with new elements. The gameplay strictly adheres to the auto-chess formula where players start with a limited selection of heroes and progressively unlock more as they advance through rounds. The core concept revolves around engaging in multiple battles, where victories directly impact the opponent's HP, making it crucial to win as often as possible to maintain your lead and protect your health.
Each hero is assigned a specific position on the battlefield. For instance, Chang'e is positioned at the back line, capable of dealing significant damage from a distance. The game features various rounds, including hero rounds and creep rounds. To kickstart your journey, you'll need to complete a brief tutorial, which we highly recommend as it visually explains the mechanics in detail.
Your objective is to outmaneuver seven other players in a chess-like format. While the fundamental mechanics mirror those of the Magic Chess mode in MLBB, Magic Chess: Go Go boasts an expanded roster of MLBB characters and equipment. A notable variation is the introduction of Go Go Cards during creep rounds, alongside traditional equipment and crystals. For MLBB enthusiasts, this game mode might evoke a sense of nostalgia, enhanced with new heroes and equipment.
What are Hero Synergies?
In Magic Chess: Go Go, heroes are categorized into factions that influence the synergy system. Hero synergies are crucial buffs that amplify the abilities of heroes from the same faction. These synergies are particularly advantageous in ranked and high-elo games, where seasoned players strategically select heroes from the same faction to enhance their stats and gain additional utility buffs. These enhancements come in the form of increased attack, defense, and maximum HP, significantly boosting your team's performance.

Go Go Pass
Similar to the Starlight battle pass in MLBB, Magic Chess: Go Go introduces its own battle pass called the "Go Go Pass". Available in two versions—Free and Premium—the premium rewards are accessible only upon purchasing the premium pass. The pass is segmented into multiple levels, which players can unlock by accumulating Pass experience. You can earn Pass XP by completing Daily, Weekly, and Special Tasks, or by spending Diamonds to accelerate your progress through the tiers.
